DCP ameliorated the pathological damage of intestinal and cardiac tissues in rats with SAP. (Ai,Aii): Representative images of H & E staining (× 200) on duodenum and corresponding pathological scores of rats in sham, SAP and DCP group; (Bi,Bii): Representative images of H & E staining (× 200) on colon and corresponding pathological scores of each group; (Ci,Cii): Representative images of H & E staining (× 200) on heart and corresponding pathological scores of each group. Arrows (blue, red, yellow, black) indicated edema, inflammation, necrosis, and hemorrhage respectively. The results are presented as the mean ± SEM. ***p < 0.005, ****p < 0.0001 vs. sham group, # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 vs. SAP group; ns, p > 0.05. sham: sham operation group; SAP: Sever acute pancreatitis group; DCP: Dao-Chi powder treatment group.
