Fig. 7. In vivo biosafety evaluation.
a Hematoxylin and erosion (H&E) staining of rat buccal mucosa tissue after application of different films for 4 h. PVA: poly(vinyl alcohol), DOPA: 3,4-dihydroxy-D-phenylalanine, PLGA: poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), PDA: polydopamine. Scale bar: 100 μm. b H&E staining of major organs (the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney) after subcutaneous implantation of different films in the backs of Sprague Dawley rats for 1 day. Scale bar: 100 μm. c–f Hematological examination of the variation in WBC (red blood cell count), RBC (white blood cell count), HGB (hemoglobin), and PLT (platelet count) after subcutaneous implantation of different films in the backs of Sprague Dawley rats for 1 or 7 days. g–n Blood biochemistry examination of the variation in Mg2+, Ca2+, CK (creatine kinase), LDH-L (lactate dehydrogenase), ALT (alanine transferase), AST (aspartate transferase), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), and CREA (creatinine) after subcutaneous implantation of different films in the backs of Sprague Dawley rats for 1 or 7 days. All data are Mean ± S.D. n = 3 animals per group. Statistics was calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-test. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
