HE staining (×100) of spinal cord slices of rats in the sham-SCI, SCI-control and SCI-HBO groups at Day 20 after SCI, showing cystic degeneration (arrow head). Sham-SCI group: the nucleus of the spinal cord of normal rats was clear, and the white matter of the nerve fibers arranged in a dense and orderly fashion. SCI-control group: The gray matter in the spinal cord of SCI rats was disintegrated and necrotic, a great number of vacuoles formed. SCI-HBO group: The gray matter in the spinal cord of SCI rats was disintegrated and necrotic, a small number of vacuoles formed
