However, in the three groups of BD rats receiving EGb761 after brain death, no significant differences was observed in p-JNK-MAPK (all P > 0.05), p-p38-MAPK (all P > 0.05), and p-STAT3 (all P > 0.05 except for BD + EGb 0.5 h group) as compared with BD group. The gene discussed is MAPK8; the disease is Behcet disease.
