Figure 6

The H&E stained sections of twelve-day postsurgery of wound treated with (a) control: Short arrow—polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN), long arrow—fibroblast. The tissue is in the acute stage of wound healing. (b) Blank sponge (without curcumin): short arrow—eosinophil, long arrow—necrotic tissue. The tissue is under subacute stage of wound healing due to that there are many eosinophil and allergic reaction may be considered, and (c) curcumin sponge: arrow—lymphocyte, the tissue is under subacute stage of wound healing (400x).
