Protective Effect of Shen-Fu Injection on Neuronal Mitochondrial Function in a Porcine Model of Prolonged Cardiac Arrest

Figure 5

Cytoplasmic ultrastructure of the brain neuron under an electron microscope. (a) Normal cells structure of the brain neuron was observed in the SHAM group (arrows). (b) Ischemic pig brain cells ultrastructures in the SA group at 24 hours after cardiac resuscitation. Dotted arrows display brain glial cell nucleus damage, and the arrow shows mitochondrial swelling. (c) At 24 h after cardiac resuscitation in the EP group, mitochondrial architecture of brain neuron became more severe. (d) Mitochondrial architecture exhibited little intracellular damage in the SFI group at 24 hours after cardiac resuscitation.
