DCQD alleviates pancreas and kidney pathological damages in rats with SAP. SG sham operation group, MG model group, LDG low-dose group, MDG medium-dose group, HDG high-dose group. Rats (n = 8 per group) were orally administered different doses of DCQD (6 g/kg in the LDG, 12 g/kg in the MDG, and 24 g/kg in the HDG by body weight) 2 h after operation. At 24 h after operation, the kidney samples were collected for pathological analysis and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). A Pathological picture of pancreas (HE, ×200). B Pathological picture of kidney (HE, ×100). C Pathological scores of the pancreas and kidney. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD. ^ap < 0.05 vs. SG and ^bp < 0.05 vs. MG; p > 0.05, ns
