Figure 4. Histological findings of the liver in the reversible obstructive jaundice group on day 5 (i.e., 2 days after clip removal). On day 5, findings of cholestasis were markedly relieved, but sinusoidal dilatation accompanied by hepatocyte atrophy was noticeable. Expansion of the portal area remained, but was less remarkable than that on day 3. On day 7, sinusoidal dilatation, hepatocyte atrophy, and expansion of the portal area, including cell infiltration and pseudo bile duct proliferation, were obviously mitigated, but not completely eradicated.
