From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: Suppression of NF-κB signaling by ECN in an arthritic model of inflammation
Effect of ECN on radiological and histological examination (scale bar = 100 μm) following CFA-induced arthritis. The ECN improved the radiological parameters such as soft tissue swelling compared to the CFA treated group. The radiological changes in all the recruited groups were quantified in all the treated groups. Similarly, the H and E staining showed marked improvement in the histological parameters such as synovial hyperplasia, destruction of cartilage/bone and inflammatory cell infiltrate. The pathological changes were quantified as described in the “Materials and methods” section. The images were taken at 100X using a simple microscope attached to the camera. The data were represented as the mean ± SD (n = 7). (*) p < 0.05, (**) p < 0.01 and (***) p < 0.001 indicates significant differences from the CFA control group, while (###) means comparison with the CFA treated group
