Effects of chamaejasmine on histopathological changes, epidermal thicknesses, and mast cell numbers in DNCB-induced AD-like skin lesions in SKH-1 hairless mice. (a) H&E staining, (b) toluidine blue staining, (c) epidermal thicknesses and (d) mast cell numbers. Results are expressed as the means ± SEMs of two independent experiments. # P < 0.05 vs. the CON group; * P < 0.05 vs. the DNCB group. CON: vehicle control group, DNCB: DNCB-treated control group, DNCB-chamaejasmine: DNCB and 0.5% chamaejasmine-treated group, DNCB-Elidel: DNCB and 1% pimecrolimus cream-treated group.
