Under conditions of autonomic nerve imbalance, electroacupuncture cannot improve PCABI. (A) WB bands of CAMKIV, p-CREB, BDNF, GAPDH and β-Actin in hippocampus. (B-D) Relative expression of CAMKIV, p-CREB, and BDNF in hippocampus (n = 8). (E) WB bands of CAMKIV, p-CREB, BDNF, GAPDH and β-Actin in prefrontal cortex. (F-H) Relative expression of PSD95, CAMKIV, p-CREB, BDNF and Caspase-3 in prefrontal cortex (n = 8). (I) WB bands of PSD95, Caspase-3 and β-Actin in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. (J-M) Relative expression of PSD95, and Caspase-3 in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (n = 8). (N) TEM of the CA1 region of the hippocampus, black arrows indicate synaptic regions. (O) Nissl histochemical stain for Nissl bodies in the neurons of hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in different rat groups, black arrows indicate chromatolytic neurons with Nissl body disintegration. (P-Q) Nissl body number in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (n = 5).
