There was an error in Figure 3 as published. The authors inadvertently substituted a 40× image from the Sham group with a 40× image from the HCK group in Figure 3A. Because intestinal histology differs markedly between groups (fold architecture, mucosal arrangement, etc.), the mismatch was readily apparent. The incorrect original 40× image of the Sham group was an enlarged image of the HCK 20× image. The authors have now retrieved the correct 40× micrographs for both the Sham and HCK groups from the raw data and have reconstructed Figure 3A accordingly. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.
FIGURE 3

PMP has an ameliorating effect on colon injury in MCAO rats. (A) Representative micrographs of H&E staining in the colon. (B) Representative immunohistochemical images and statistical maps of tight junction protein. n = 4. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, MCAO group vs. Sham group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001, dosing group vs. MCAO group.
There was an error in Figure 4 as published. Previously, in Figure 4B the scale bar was positioned outside the image. This has now been adjusted to ensure a consistent style. The corrected Figure 4 appears below.
FIGURE 4

PMP ameliorates MCAO-induced inflammatory response in rats' colon. Representative immunohistochemical images and statistical maps of inflammatory factors. n = 4. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, MCAO group vs. Sham group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001, dosing group vs. MCAO group.
