Laser Speckle Flowmetry for the Prognostic Estimation Study of Permanent Focal Ischemia in Mice
Figure 4
The correlation between tissue loss and CBF in the ischemic core or penumbra area. Tissue loss was measured by MAP2 immunostaining 21 days after surgery. CBF-related data were collected by laser speckle images 5 minutes after the operation. Quantification of areas of ischemic core region (a) and penumbra region (c) by laser speckle images. Comparison of the overall mean CBF in the ischemic core area (b) and penumbra area (d) between the dMCAO and dMCAO+CCAO groups. The correlation between the volume of tissue loss and the area of ischemic core regions (e) or penumbra regions (f). . Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. The differences between groups were analyzed using the Student’s two-tailed test with the normally distributed data. The correlation analyses were performed using Pearson correlation. ns: no significance, , .
