The Effect of Resveratrol on Surgery-Induced Epidural Fibrosis in Laminectomy Rats

Figure 2

H&E staining for the epidural scar tissues in the laminectomy sites employed with resveratrol (a), saline (b), and the sham groups (c). (a) Loose scar tissues without adherence (as right arrow pointed) to dura mater were observed in the resveratrol group. (b, c) Dense scar tissues (as right arrow pointed) adhered to dura maters were observed in both saline and sham groups. (d, e, and f) The fibroblasts in the epidural fibrosis were seen by further magnification. The magnification of (a), (b), and (c) was 100x; the magnification of (d), (e), and (f) was 400x. SC: spinal cord, D: dura mater, and EF: epidural fibrosis.
