Morphological evaluation of the injured spinal cord and locomotor functional assessment. The experimental model for rats (a). Representative BBB scores of rats from R-DHLA-AuNCs-Zn group at different time points (b) (n = 10, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared to SCI group). Representative bladder assays (c) of rats from R-DHLA-AuNCs-Zn group at different time points (n = 10, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared to SCI group). Images of the spinal cord of SCI rat model and R-DHLA-AuNCs-Zn adminstration groups (d). Quantification of the lesion area percentage (e) in two groups (n = 6,**p < 0.01 compared to SCI group). Quantification of the water content (f) in two groups (n = 6,**p < 0.01 compared to SCI group). **P < 0.01;***P < 0.001. Data presented as mean ± SD. (n = 6 /group)
