Direct peritoneal resuscitation with pyruvate alleviates SCIR injury and Nissl staining. (a–d) Representative section for hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining at 48 hours after injury. Scale bar 200 μm for magnification 20x. (e–h) Nissl staining to display the survival neurons. Scale bar 200 μm for magnification 20x. (i, j) Spinal cord injury histological scores and statistics of the Nissl staining results. Data are shown as ; , vs. control, .
