Figure Lengend Snippet: Nao Yi Kang decoction (NYKD) inhibits glial cell activation and proliferation. (A, B) Immunofluorescent staining shows that NYKD inhibits astrocyte activation (green) and decreases the number of proliferating astrocytes: representative images of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) double staining (A) and statistic diagram of the number of double positive cells of GFAP and PCNA. (C, D) Immunofluorescent staining shows that NYKD inhibits microglia activation (green) and decreases the number of proliferating microglia: representative images of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) and PCNA double staining (C) and statistic diagram of the number of double positive cells of Iba1 and PCNA (D). (E, F) Immunofluorescent staining shows that NYKD decreased the number of M1 microglia: representative images of Iba1 and cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86) double staining (E) and statistic diagram of the number of double positive cells of Iba1 and CD86 (F). (G, H) Immunofluorescent staining shows that NYKD increases the number of M2 microglia: representative images of Iba1 and arginase 1 (Arg1) double staining (G) and statistic diagram of the number of double positive cells of Iba1 and Arg1 (H). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) ( n = 5). ∗∗∗ P < 0.001 and ∗∗∗∗ P < 0.0001. ns: not significant. ICH: intracerebral hemorrhage; Medium: medium dose; DAPI: diamidino-phenyl-indole.
