Effect of acupuncture on cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. a, b TTC staining was performed to determine the infarct volume of rats at 72 h after reperfusion in the four groups (sham, I/R, I/R+ sham acupuncture, I/R+ acupuncture). Brain infarct volume presented as a percentage of the infarct hemisphere. c The neurological deficits were evaluated by neurological score at 72 h after reperfusion. Neurological scores are presented as median (interquartile range). Results represent at least three independent experiments. d Blood brain barrier leakage was detected by Evans blue staining. Each experimental result was presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 6). #P < 0.05, ###P < 0.001 versus the indicated group
