Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of repaired tendons in the vehicle and relaxin groups. a: H&E and Masson staining. b: Histological scores at the 2nd and 4th postoperative weeks. c: Immunohistochemical staining of collagen I and collagen III in the tendon wound areas in the 2nd and 4th postoperative weeks. *p < 0.05 vs. native tendon, #p < 0.05 compared with vehicle group. (Scale bar = 200 μm). d: Relative expression levels collagen I and collagen III in relaxin group compared with vehicle group. *p < 0.05 compared with vehicle group
