Role of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a rat model of severe acute pancreatitis

Figure 5 Description of the intestinal pathologic manifestations 6 h after mesenchymal stem cells transplantation. A: Extensive injury of the intestinal mucosa was obvious in the severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group; B: The dissection of the upper cortex of the intestinal mucosa was noted in the SAP + marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) group; C, D: Injury to the intestinal mucosa in the SAP (C) and SAP + MSCs groups (D) 24 h after MSCs transplantation were more severe than at 6 h; E, F: Repair of the intestinal mucosa was seen in the SAP (E) and SAP + MSCs groups (F) (HE staining, original magnification × 200).
