Shenhua Tablet inhibits proliferation of mesangial cells in rats with anti-Thy-1 nephritis and improves renal pathological scores. a Histological changes in PAS-stained sections at W20 (×400 magnification). Scale bar 50 µm. b The total number of glomerular cross section in the six groups. c PCNA-positive cells in the groups at W20. Scale bar 50 µm. d The PCNA labeling index in all six groups. The index was calculated according to the ratio of PCNA positive cells to total glomerular cells. e Histological scores of the renal lesions in all six groups. Values were expressed as mean ± SD. * p< 0.05, ** p< 0.01 vs. Thy-1
