Acupuncture accelerates neural regeneration and synaptophysin production after neural stem cells transplantation in mice

Figure 1 Morris water maze test for behavior of senescence-accelerated mouse. The time elapsed from entering the water to finding the platform was recorded as escape latency. If the mouse could not find the platform within 90 s, the escape latency was recorded as 90 s. ^aP < 0.05 when compared to senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1 control group, ^bP < 0.05 when compared to senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) control group, ^cP < 0.05 when compared to SAMP8 sham operation group, ^dP < 0.05 when compared to SAMP8 neural stem cells transplantation with non-acupoint group. RC: Senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1 control group; PC: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 control group; PS: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 sham operation group; PT: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 neural stem cells transplantation group; PTA: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 neural stem cells transplantation with acupuncture group; PTN: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 neural stem cells transplantation with non-acupoint group.
