HC GFAP. a Percentage of GFAP-positive cells in cortex (GWMI, grey-white matter interface: blue) and corpus callosum (orange), among different groups of cohort (IHC-GFAP). b Section from corpus callosum in sTBI case yellow triangles showing reactive astrocytes (IHC-GFAP 200 ×). Survival time — 4 days. c Section from corpus callosum in sTBI case yellow triangles showing reactive (IHC-GFAP 200 ×). Survival time — 10 days. d Variation of IHC-GFAP score with survival time in different sites (grey-white matter interface, blue and corpus callosum, green) among sTBI patients. e Section from corpus callosum in sTBI case yellow triangles showing single astrocyte with larger cell size, darker cytoplasmic staining with long processes (IHC-GFAP 400 ×). Survival time — 4 days. f Section from corpus callosum in control case, showing normal brain pathology (IHC-GFAP 100 ×)
