Example 2NAME brain model and detection index of OGD-NAME brain model
After NAME model stabilization, cells were attached to the cell surface, oxygen Glucose Deprivation (OGD) was performed for 42h, reoxygenation was performed for 24h, and 5 th generation umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSC) were added for treatment during reoxygenation. And the group not subjected to the oxygen glucose deprivation treatment was used as a control group.
The underlying small hippocampal neuronal cells in the NAME model were observed using a (Leica, DM 500) microscope. The results are shown in FIG. 2, where the number of lower-level ventricular hippocampal neurons is significantly reduced after oxygen glucose deprivation, and tight junctions are loose.
