Electroacupuncture alleviates post-cardiac arrest brain injury. (A) Flowchart of the experiment. (B-E) Plot of Elisa assays for IL-1β, IL-6, NSE and NFL in the plasma of rats on day 4 post-CA (n = 8). (F) Representative micrographs showing Nissl histochemical staining of hippocampus and prefrontal cortex neurons, alongside TEM of the CA1 hippocampal subfield at 4 days post-CA, black arrows indicate chromatolytic neurons with Nissl body disintegration, while green arrows indicate synaptic regions. (G-H) Nissl body number in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex on day 4 post-CA (n = 5). (I-N) Relative expression of PSD95, and Caspase-3 in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex on day 4 post-CA (n = 8).
