ABSTRACT
Transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rat model was adopted, and the method of HE staining, TUNEL staining (TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) were used to observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on neuronal death. The results evinced that the combination of EA and bFGF could evidently reduce the neuronal death, including both necrosis and apoptosis, compared with EA or bFGF application alone. It is suggested that bFGF and EA can complement each other and enhance the protective effect following cerebral ischemia.
