Table 2.
Histopathological changes in major organs at different time points after D-GalN induction (H&E Staining).
| Organ | 12h | 24h | 36h |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liver | Disrupted hepatocyte arrangement, sinusoidal endothelial cell injury | Hepatocyte congestion and necrosis, aggravated central vein and sinusoidal congestion | Extensive hepatocyte necrosis, hydropic degeneration, vacuolar steatosis, moderate to severe lobular congestion |
| Intestine | Infiltration of eosinophils, shortened villi, shallow crypts | Massive lymphocyte infiltration in mucosa, mucosal erosion | Dense eosinophil and lymphocyte infiltration, vascular endothelial shedding |
| Lung | Intact bronchial mucosa, no significant alveolar abnormalities | Alveolar wall congestion, edema fluid accumulation, capillary thrombosis | Massive neutrophil infiltration in bronchi and alveoli, lobar pneumonia formation |
| Heart | Mild edema around serosal vessels, slight endocardial edema | Subendocardial edema more pronounced than at 12h | Extensive inflammatory cell infiltration in serosa, marked exudation, persistent endocardial edema |
| Spleen | Normal structure | Overall normal; mild inflammatory changes in red pulp and vascular areas | nflammatory cell infiltration in red pulp and vascular intima, moderate inflammation in white pulp; structure largely preserved |
| Kidney | Moderate to severe swelling of proximal tubules | Moderate to severe swelling of proximal tubules | Mild swelling of proximal tubules; glomerular structure remains intact |
