Cavity formation after SCI. Cavity formation after SCI stained with hematoxylin and eosin (A) rat uninjured spinal cord, (B) group Control, (C) group 1G and (D) group CL). Scale bars, 300 μm. The cavity formations (arrows) were markedly reduced in the groups that had received rBMSC transplants. Only very small cavities were identified within the SCI lesions in group CL. The graph (D) shows the difference in the volume of cavities at 21 days after SCI among group Control (n = 7), group 1G (n = 7), and group CL (n = 6). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. The values of the cavity size were significantly different between group CL and group Control (P value < 0.05). Group C, n = 11; Group 1G, n = 11; Group CL, n = 7.
