The Effect of Beta-Aminopropionitrile and Prednisolone on the Prevention of Fibrosis in Alkali Esophageal Burns: An Experimental Study
Figure 3
In the sham group, the normal histologic structure is visualized ((a)-(b)). The corrosive burn group demonstrates a constricted lumen (double arrow) and increased submucosal connective tissue (★), ((c)-(d)). And also, the prednisolone-treated group demonstrates persistent histological changes with increased submucosal connective tissue ((e)-(f)) like the corrosive burn group. The BAPN-treated group demonstrates histological findings that are similar to the sham group ((g)-(h)). All the samples were stained with Azan and magnifications are ×10 for (a), (c), (e), and (g) and ×40 for (b), (d), (f), and (h).
