Hypertrophic Scar Formation on Application of Terpenoid Fraction of Tuberous Root of Mirabilis jalapa L. on Excision Wound Model in Wistar Albino Rats

Figure 5

Histological sections of 8th (A-B) and 12th (C-D) postwounding day granulation tissue of excision wound. Hair follicle like blood capillaries formation (HF) and its movement to epithelial line was observed in 12th post wounding day tissue of standard (b)D, MJE (c)D and F3 (e)D as compared to control (a)D. Blood vessel (BC) formation was prominent on 8th postwounding day tissue of F1 (d)B as compared to control (a)B. Sections are control = (a)A–(a)D, standard = (b)A–(b)D, MJE = (c)A–(c)D, F1= (d)A–(d)D, and F3 = (e)A–(e)D. Macrophage (M), fibroblast (F), collagen (C), reepithelialisation (R), and inflammatory cells (IC) are shown in arrows in [10x (A and C)] and [40x (B and D)] HE stained sections.
