PE and JPYSF ameliorated renal pathological injury in CKD rats
(A) Representative PAS-stained pictures of each group. (B) Representative Masson’s stained pictures of each group. Obvious renal tubular epithelial cells shedding and tubular dilation in PAS staining and large amounts of collagen fibrils deposition (blue staining) in Masson’s staining were observed in CKD rats. Treatment with PE or JPYSF, especially for combined therapy of PE and JPYSF, significantly ameliorated these pathological lesions. All images are shown at identical magnification, ×200, scale bar = 100 μm.
