Photomicrographs showing longitudinal sections of the sciatic nerve following neurorrhaphy in the control group (A) and in the Paeonia lactiflora Pall. group (B). The sections were stained with H&E and magnified × 40. The infiltration of inflammatory cell and the parallel appearance of axons were observed in the repaired nerve. The nerve diameter of the repaired nerve (dashed line; middle portion of each photograph) was thicker than the diameter of the proximal nerve (solid line; left side of each photograph), and the measured ratio of the neuroma size was 1.4 in A and 1.0 in B
