Effects of Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex Carbonisata-carbon dots (PCCC-CDs) on histopathological changes in kidney tissues in D.acutus venom (Dav)-induced AKI mice. After D.acutus venom challenged, kidney tissues from each experimental group were prepared for histological evaluation. Histological changes of kidney obtained from mice of different groups normal saline (NS), D.acutus venom (Dav, 1 mg/kg) and high (H), medium (M), and low (L) doses of PCCC-CDs + Dav (1 mg/kg) in (a) 1 h, (b) 3 h, (c) 12 h, (d) 1 day, (e) 2 days, and (f) 5 days
