Fig. 1 Histological examination of intestinal mucosa after irinotecan injection (200mgkg−1): (A) showed a normal mucosa with intact epithelial surface, (B) presented an epithelial destruction and inflammatory cells infiltrate and (C) indicated the histological scores for intestinal mucositis. #: p<0.05 compared to NaCl group. Values are means±SEM (n=10). Pathophysiology 2017 24, 275-279DOI: (10.1016/j.pathophys.2017.07.002) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V. Terms and Conditions
