The Therapeutic Effect of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Radiation-Induced Bladder Injury

Figure 4

Histological analysis of bladder tissue. (a) Representative images of blood vessels in the submucosa layer. The white arrows indicate blood vessels while the white bar indicates 200 μm. (b) Results of the number of blood vessels in the submucosa layer of each experimental group. compared with RC group. There is no significant difference between AdMSCs group and Medium group. (c) Representative images of Masson’s trichrome staining from each group. The black bar indicates 50 μm. (d) Results of the ratio between smooth muscle and collagen within the bladder wall of each experimental group. compared with RC group. There is no significant difference between AdMSCs group and Medium group.
