Figure 7. Small intestinal mucosa injury in rats of different groups.

Figure 7

(A) H&E stain. (B) The Chiu’s score was significantly increased in BDL rats compared with sham controls (**P<0.01). Both internal and external drainage significantly mitigated the Chiu’s scores. The effect of internal drainage was significantly better than external drainage. (C) Endotoxin levels of rats in different groups. Serum endotoxin was increased significantly in BDL rats compared with controls. The internal or external drainage significantly reduced endotoxemia. The effect of internal drainage was significantly better than external drainage; **P<0.01; *P<0.05; ED, external biliary drainage; ID, internal biliary drainage; OJ, obstructive jaundice; SH, sham operation.
