Determining the collagen contents of the SJM and vehicle groups using sirius red stain analysis. The paraffin wax tissue sections were stained with sirius red; hence, under a polarized light, collagen I and III appeared red and green, respectively. Fourteen days after burn injury, the collagen I content of each group significantly increased, with the burn + SJM groups having a higher content than did the burn + vehicle group. Conversely, the collagen III contents of the burn + SJM groups were significantly less than that of the burn + vehicle group. Scale = 500 μm; * denotes p < 0.05 compared with the control group and # denotes p < 0.05 compared with the burn + vehicle group
