Ultrastructural detection of jejunal, ileal and colonic mucosa under transmission electron microscopy (magnification*10,000). A-D: jejunal mucosa of C, S, E, EC group; E-H: ileal mucosa of C, S, E, EC group; I: bacterial invasion into ileal mucosa; J-M: colonic mucosa of C, S, E, EC group. The morphological distortion of tight junction between intestinal mucous epithelium became blurred with loose cell-cell gaps, disappearance of desmosomes and mitochondrial swelling in E group were significantly improved in EC group.
