Morphological changes in adrenocortical autografts. Microscopic findings of adrenocortical autografts. Left panels show the low-power fields of HE-stained sections. Right panels are the expanded views of the square fields in the left panel. Sections on post-operative day (POD) 7 and POD14 showed only a few remnant adrenocortical cell clusters over adrenocortical autografts. An obvious renewal capsule and renewal adrenocortical cell cluster were detected at POD21 and POD28. Cap: capsule; AC: adrenocortical cells; RAC: renewal adrenocortical cells; M: muscle. The black broken line shows the boundary between the adrenocortical autograft and muscle tissue.
