Effect of AAT on the proliferation of eosinophils and mast cells in nasal mucosa of AR rats

Note: a Nasal mucosa tissue was stained with H&E for eosinophils. Original magnification 400×, scale bar = 20 μm. b Nasal mucosa tissue was stained with TB for mast cells. Original magnification 400×, scale bar = 20 μm. The values represent the mean ± S.E.M (n = 3/group). Compared with M group, Significant differences *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; compared with 1HG group, Significant differences #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001; AAT, Acupoint Application Therapy; H&E,hematoxylin and eosin; TB, toluidine blue; 1HH, prescription NO.2 mixed with Honey; 1HG, prescription NO.1mixed with fresh Ginger Juice; M group, model group; C group, control group
