Effects of overexpression of miR-181b on pancreas damage in the rats with SAP induced by taurocholate. Rats were injected with AdCMV-miR-181b by tail intravenous administration, followed by intraperitoneal taurocholate challenge in 10 days. Histopathological examination of pancreas tissues was performed. a Images of hematoxylin and eosin-stained pancreas sections from SO group, SAP group and miR-181b-expressing group. (Magnification, 400×; Scale Bar: 50 μm). b Pancreas damage scores. Pancreas damage scores are expressed as mean ± SD of three replicates. ##P < 0.01 vs. the model group; **P < 0.01 vs. the control group
