Superscripts with different letters in a column are significantly different at . Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (0: no lesion distribution; 1: mild distribution; 2: moderate distribution; and 3: marked distribution).
BW: burn wound; SOB: simple ointment base; MRSA: methicillin-resistant S. aureus; SSD: silver sulfadiazine; ASHE: A. stipitatum hexane extract; ASDE: A. stipitatum dichloromethane extract; C: congestion; ED: edema; PMN: polymorphonuclear cells; MNC: mononuclear cells; U: ulceration; D & N: degeneration and necrosis; NV: neovascularization; FP: fibroblast proliferation; EP: epithelialization. Values are presented as the average of one unit square, that is, 2 × 2 mm2 area of tissue with lesions.
