Histological evaluation in rat E. coli-induced cystitis.

Group	NC group	E. coli group	E. coli+SH group	E. coli+NS group
histological score	0.24 ± 0.47	2.67 ± 0.32a	1.04 ± 0.35a,b	2.44 ± 0.64a
inflammatory cell counts/mm2	4.26 ± 2.35	100.47 ± 19.63a	13.54 ± 6.38 a,b	70.84 ± 12.51a
Brunn’s nest counts/mm2	1.25 ± 0.61	16.67 ± 3.74a	4.17 ± 1.2a,b	12.5 ± 3.26a

Data was expressed as the mean ± SD, ^aP < 0.05 vs. NC group, ^bP < 0.05 vs. E. coli + NS group.
