Nystatin protects the ultrastructure of VECs from C. albicans infection. a, The vaginal epithelium was restored after nystatin treatment. Magnification × 3000. b, Scattered neutrophils (arrow) observed in superficial VECs. Magnification × 6000. c, The intercellular space between VECs is restored. Magnification × 8000. d, The morphology of VEC junctions (arrow) is restored. Magnification × 15,000. e, The ultrastructure of mitochondria (arrow) in VECs is restored to normal or showed only mild swelling. Magnification × 30,000. f, Few hyphae (arrow) are detected on the surface of VECs. Magnification × 15,000
