A preliminary study of neck-stomach syndrome

Table 3 Cells positive for caspase-3 and IL-1β in the stomach of rats with cervical spondylosis mean ± SD

Groups	Caspase-3-positive cells	IL-1β-positive cells
3-mo group	33.83 ± 3.71	42.06 ± 2.95
5-mo group	36.32 ± 4.01	45.91 ± 3.98

There was no significant difference between the controls, but a significant difference between the control groups and the model groups at 3 mo and 5 mo after the operation (P < 0.01).
