Tissue Pharmacology of Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction in Experimental Acute Pancreatitis in Rats

Figure 1

DCQD alleviated acute pancreatitis-associated tissue damage. Normal group = NG, model group = MG, low-dose group = LDG, medium-dose group = MDG, high-dose group = HDG. Rats ( = 6 per group) were given different dose of DCQD (6 g/kg in LDG, 12 g/kg in MDG, and 24 g/kg in HDG by body weight) 2 h after operation. After 24 h, the lung, intestine, and pancreas tissues were collected for pathological examination by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. (a1) Pathological picture of pancreas (HE, ×400). (a2) Pathological scores of pancreas injury. (b1) Pathological picture of intestine (HE, ×100). (b2) Pathological scores of intestine injury. (c1) Pathological picture of lung (HE, ×400). (c2) Pathological scores of lung injury. The results are mean ± SE. and versus AP model group.
