Figure 3. Effect of XBJ on sepsis-induced destruction of small intestinal vascular endothelial cells. A: sham group (7,000×; 20,000×); B: CLP group (7,000×; 20,000×); C: XBJ + axitinib group (7,000×; 20,000×); D: XBJ group (7,000×; 20,000×). Triangular arrows: dense and chaotic cytoplasmic processes; long thick black arrows: tight junctions; short thick black arrows: mitochondrial edema and vacuolation; white arrows: deformed nuclei.
