Static Magnetic Field Accelerates Diabetic Wound Healing by Facilitating Resolution of Inflammation

Figure 2

Impact of SMF on macrophage polarization in excisional wounds of diabetic mice. (a) Representative immunofluorescent staining images of excisional wounds in diabetic mice treated with or without SMF on days 3, 7, and 14 after treatment. DAPI (nuclei) = blue, MAC-3 (M0) = red, iNOS (M1) = green, and Arg-1 (M2) = green. Magnification ×200 in macrophage staining. Scale bar 100 μm. (b–d) Quantification of the total macrophages (MAC-3+) (b) pro-inflammatory M1(MAC-3+/iNOS+) (c) and constructive remodeling M2 (MAC-3+/Arg-1+) (d) macrophages as shown in (a) ( per group). Data are presented as . (b–d) Statistical significance was determined using unpaired Student’s -test. and vs. control (CON).
