Histological appearance of scald wounds stained with Masson-Goldner trichrome stain [(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n) and (o)]. Collagen deposition occurred more efficiently in the AJE-treated groups compared to the control group. The thick regularly aligned collagen fiber was observed and the thick scab had disappeared in AJE-treated groups on the 14 day post-scald [(i), (j)]. Vaseline group and 5 % AJE group was observed well organized collagen on the 21 day [(m), (n)]. Magnification: ×100. Abbreviations: CON, control; SSD, silver sulfadiazine; AJE, Ampelopsis japonica root ethanol extract; C, collagen; E, epithelialization; BC, blood capillaries
