Fig. 9From: What is the optimal sequence of decompression for multilevel noncontinuous spinal cord compression injuries in rabbits?Graphs illustrating the TUNEL assay results at 6 weeks post-injury in the control, 40-μl PRD, 40-μl PCD, 50-μl PRD and 50-μl PCD groups. The numbers of apoptosis-positive cells were significantly decreased in the rabbits subjected to the 50-μl compression injury when they initially underwent rostral compression release compared with the rabbits that underwent PCD. **** p < 0.0001, $$$$ p < 0.0001Back to article page
