Histologic examination of hippocampal Cornu-Ammonis 3 regions with cresyl violet staining 48 hours after the return of spontaneous circulation. (a) Representative images of cresyl violet staining at 400 × magnification. There were more apoptotic pyramidal cells and neuroglial cells in the IPPV group than in the CFIO group. (b) Boxplots representing the proportions of ischemic neurons per total number of neurons. compared to the sham group; compared to the IPPV group. IPPV, intermittent positive pressure ventilation; CFIO, continuous flow insufflation of oxygen.
