This article published with the incorrect figure legends. The figure legends have been corrected and also appear below.
Correct legends:
Figure 1. Photomicrographs of liver (a, b, c) transverse sections (H&E × 400 magnification): a: shows hepatocytes (H) with vesicular nuclei (N), central vein (CV), blood sinusoids(S) flat endothelial cells (E) and von Kupffer cells (K). b: shows disorganized hepatocytes around the central vein (CV), blood sinusoids(S). Some hepatocytes have vacuolated cytoplasm (V) and deeply stained (HC) or pyknotic nuclei (p). c: shows disorganized hepatocytes around the central vein (CV), congested blood sinusoids(S). Hepatocytes have marked vacuolated cytoplasm (V) and deeply stained (HC), or pyknotic nuclei (p). Photomicrographs of liver (d, e, f) transverse sections (H&E × 400 magnification): d: shows branch of portal vein (PV) and bile duct (BD), hepatocytes (H) with vesicular basophilic nuclei (N). e: shows portal vein (PV), bile duct (BD), vacuolated cytoplasm (V) of hepatocytes, deeply stained (HC) or pyknotic (p) nuclei. f: shows dilated portal vein (PV), bile duct (BD), lymphatic vessel (L), markedly vacuolated cytoplasm (V) of hepatocytes, deeply stained (HC) or pyknotic (p) nuclei.
Figure 2. Photomicrographs of liver (a, b, c) transverse sections (Masson Trichrome ×400 magnification): a: shows normal distribution of collagen fibers around the central vein (CV). b: shows a higher level of collagen fiber distribution around the central vein (CV). c: shows a marked increase of collagen fiber distribution around the central vein (CV). Photomicrographs of liver (d, e, f) transverse sections (Masson Trichrome ×400 magnification): d: normal distribution of collagen fibers around the portal tract (PT). e: a higher level of collagen fiber distribution is seen around the elements of the portal tract (PT). f: marked increase of collagen fiber distribution is seen around the elements of the portal tract (PT).
Figure 3. Photomicrographs (a, b, c) of Transmission electron microscopy of liver sections (subgroups IB). a: A hepatocyte has intact plasma membrane (arrow), Notice the nucleus (N), nuclear envelope (NM), nucleolus (n). b: Magnification of 3A. The cytoplasm of hepatocyte contains mitochondria (M) andglycogen granules (g). Notice the nucleus (N), nuclear envelope (NM), nucleolus (n), heterochromatin (h) and euchromatin (e). c: Magnification of 3B. The cytoplasm of hepatocyte contains mitochondria (M) with well-defined cristae, rough endoplasmic reticulum (R) and glycogen granules (g). Notice the nucleus (N), nuclear envelope (NM), heterochromatin (h) and euchromatin (e). Photomicrographs (d, e, f, g) of Transmission electron microscopy of liver sections (subgroups IIB). d: Multiple hepatocytes contain vacuolated areas of cytoplasm (V), nuclei (N), notice the irregular membrane of one of the nuclei (arrow), indistinct plasma membrane. e. Magnification of left upper side of fig.3d shows hepatocyte contains vacuolated areas of cytoplasm (V), nucleus (N), degenerated mitochondria (M) and fragmented rough endoplasmic reticulum(R). f: Hepatocytes contain vacuolated areas of cytoplasm (V), the nuclei (N) showed increased heterochromatin (h), the plasma membrane was indistinct. g: Magnification of right upper side of fig.3f shows that the hepatocyte contains nucleus (N) with increased heterochromatin (h), degenerated mitochondria (M) and fragmented rough endoplasmic reticulum(R).
