Renal protective effect of atorvastatin on medullary damage and apoptosis in CIN kidney. (A) The histopathologic scores of medullary damage (*p < .05 vs. experimental control group). (B) Quantification of TUNEL-positive nuclei (*p < .05 vs. experimental control group). (C) Representative images of H&E staining under ×400 magnification in the outer medulla. Arrows showed examples of protein casts and tubular vacuolar degeneration/necrosis. Erythrocytes and infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells could be easily observed in the interstitium. (D) Representative images of TUNEL assay under ×400 magnification in the outer medulla.
