Figure 1

Comparisons of AD-like skin lesions in BALB/c mice after a 2-week treatment. (a1)  Normal mouse; (b1)  model mouse; (c1)   mouse treated with vehicle; (d1)  50% QP-treated mouse; (e1)  75% QP-treated mouse; (f1)  100% QP-treated mouse; (g1)  MF-treated mouse. (a)–(g) were histopathology of corresponding skin. Significant erythema, desquamation, and crusting could be seen on the dorsal skin of model group and lessened significantly in all treated groups. Thickening of the epidermis and inflammatory cell accumulation could be seen in model group but was relieved in QP-treated groups in a dose-related pattern. QP: Qingpeng ointment; MF: Mometasone Furoate cream.
