Effects of MAE on the histological features of house dust mite-induced atopic dermatitis in NC/Nga mice. The skin and ear tissues were excised from normal control group (vehicle-treated mice; 70% ethanol, 200 μL/mouse), Biostir group (Biostir-AD plus vehicle-treated mice), Tacrolimus group (Biostir-AD plus Tacrolimus ointment-treated mice; 50 mg/mouse), and MAE group (Biostir-AD plus MAE-treated mice; 10 mg/mouse), fixed with 10% formaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and cut into thin sections. The histological features of the skin and ear lesions were determined after staining with hematoxylin and eosin.
