Effects of transplantation of oral mucosa stem cells on c-Fos expressions in the neuronal voiding centers. Upper: Photomicrographs of c-Fos-positive cells in the neuronal voiding centers. The scale bar represents 200 μm. MPA: pontine micturition center, vlPAG: ventrolateral periaqueductal gray matter, PMC: pontine micturition center, L4-L5: Lumbar 4-Lumbar 5. Lower: Number of c-Fos-positive cells in each group. (A) Sham-operation group, (B) SCI-induced group, and (C) SCI-induced and oral mucosa stem cell transplantation group. * represents P < 0.05 as compared to the sham-operation group. # represents P < 0.05 as compared to the SCI-induced group.
