Evaluation of skin histological observation at the end of experiment period. (a) (left) H&E staining of mice skin for routine examination. (a) (right) Gomori’s aldehyde fuchsin staining of mice skin. Epidermal thickness was shown via the double-headed red arrows. ED, epidermis; DR, dermis; ST, subcutaneous tissue; DEJ, dermal-epidermal junction; SC, stratum corneum; HF, hair follicle; HR, hemorrhage; IFI, inflammation infiltration; EF, elastic fibers. (b) Histogram presentation of the results of average epidermal thickness of each group at the end of experiment period. Data represents means ± SD (). compared with the SC group; compared with the VC group. NC, normal control; SC, sham control; MC, model control; VC, vehicle control.
