Baicalein alleviates radiation-induced intestinal injury and inhibits bacterial translocation. (A) Hematoxylin–eosin (H&E)-stained small intestine tissues harvested from control (Con), irradiated (IR), and baicalein-treated IR (IR+Bai) mice 3 and 6 days after application of 13.5 Gy of abdominal irradiation. Bar = 200 μm. (B) Villi lengths in the small intestine from Con, IR, and IR+Bai mice at 3 and 6 days after irradiation (50 villi for each group). (C) Crypt numbers of circumference in the small intestine from Con, IR, and IR+Bai mice at 6 days after irradiation (15 crypt for each group). (D) The number of colonies from mesenteric lymph nodes tissue of Con, IR, and IR+Bai mice. White arrow indicates crypt abscess, and red arrow indicates epithelial cell vacuolization. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean; n = 5 mice per group. *P < 0.05 compared to the control; # P < 0.05 compared to the IR group.
