Materials methods Forty female Wistar rats were randomized equally four groups treated by sham injury, SCI, BYHWD, or methylprednisolone (MP). Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan (BBB) score was evaluate hind-limb locomotor function. Neuron apoptosis assessed terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2 mRNA protein expression evaluated real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction Western blotting, respectively. Results In group, walking mildly abnormal anesthesia recovered ...
