Photomicrographs of the adhesions. Representative sections of adhesion fibrous tissue were obtained from untreated (A), HA treated (B) and Zn2+-SCMC treated (C) rats and stained with HE. Collagen fibrils were indicated by arrows and fibroblasts were indicated by arrowheads. (A) Increased fibroblast proliferation and a compact arrangement of collagen fibrils appeared. No repair of the injured abdominal serosa was found. (B) The injured abdominal serosa was partially repaired. Interstitial cells were loosely arranged and the number of collagen fibrils and fibroblasts were relatively increased. (C) Collagen fibrils were loosely arranged, and the interstitial cells were distributed in series. Fewer fibroblasts were observed.
