Fig. 8From: Methylprednisolone treatment enhances early recovery following surgical decompression for degenerative cervical myelopathy without compromise to the systemic immune systemMethylprednisolone treatment promotes neuronal preservation in DCM. Immunohistochemical analysis of the decompressed spinal cord around the C5-C7 region. a Number of NeuN+ cells and representative images of the two treatment groups. NeuN+ cells were significantly increased compared with the saline-treated group at 2 weeks after decompression. b The percentage of Olig2+/DAPI+ area was not significantly different between the two treatment groups. Data were analyzed using an unpaired Student’s t test and are presented as mean ± SEM. Scale bars = 25 μm (a) and 500 μm (b). The arrows in a and b indicate a positive cell for each staining.
