Optimisation of a Mouse Model of Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion to Address Issues of Survival and Model Reproducibility and Consistency

Figure 5

Correlation analysis between NSS and percentage of cerebral infarct volume at 24 h postoperatively. (a) There was no correlation between NSS and the percentage of cerebral infarct volume in the ICA1 group r = 0.28,  > 0.05, n = 15. (b) In the ICA2 group, NSS was significantly correlated with the percentage of cerebral infarct volume r = 0.812,  < 0.01 n = 15. (c) In the ECA1 group, there was no correlation between NSS and percentage of cerebral infarct volume r = 0.209,  > 0.05, n = 15. (d) In the ECA2 group, there was no correlation between NSS and percentage of cerebral infarct volume r = 0.0588,  > 0.05, n = 15.
