Histologic assessments of kidney tissue damage. a Typical microscopic views of the renal cortex (H&E stain) for each group. The left hand column: low power images; the right hand column: high power images. G: glomerulus, *: dilated tubules, Bar: 100 μm. b Tissue sections were viewed under × 100 magnification, and the numbers of dilated tubules in the renal cortex were counted. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of each group (PBS: n = 5 rats; PDS: n = 7 rats; PDS + pMSCs: n = 7 rats; and PDS + UC-MSCs: n = 7 rats). The difference between groups was compared using two-tailed t-test. p = 0.0054 (pMSCs vs. UC-MSCs)
