Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment on Deep Partial-Thickness Burn Injury in Rats: A Pilot Study

<div>(a) The H.E.-stained histological section shows the centre of the burn wound of the ESWT-treated group on day 5. (b) The burn wound is closed by a thin continuous layer of epithelial cells (arrowheads). The reticular layer shows a higher number of vessels, compared to the control group (scale bar = 100 <i>μ</i>m). The inset shows the distribution of vessels (arrows) in the reticular stratum in a higher magnification (scale bar = 20 <i>μ</i>m).</div>
