A20 silencing inhibits the neuroprotective effects of EA on focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Neurological score and brain infarction volume were evaluated 72 h after reperfusion in rats in the four groups (MCAO, MCAO + EA, MCAO + EA + LV-shA20, MCAO + EA + vehicle). a Neurological scores are presented as median (interquartile range), n = 10 per group. *P < 0.05 vs. the MCAO group; ### P < 0.001 vs. the MCAO + EA group. b Brain infarction volume presented as a percentage of the intact hemisphere. Data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 10 per group. ***P < 0.001 vs. the MCAO group; ### P < 0.001 vs. the MCAO + EA group. c Images of cerebral infarction (white, infarct tissue; red, non-infarct tissue) were stained using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride in coronal sections of rat brains
