Photomicrographs showing morphological apoptotic changes of HNO97 and OEC treated groups. A, E Control untreated groups. B, F Cisplatin-treated groups, (C, G) Auch Nps-treated groups, (D, H) Cis/AuCh nanocomposite-treated groups. The numbers indicate examples of the morphological features of the stained cells as follows: 1: confluent viable cells, 2: apoptotic shrunken cells with a shrunken nucleus, 3: peripheral chromatin condensation, 4: membrane blebbing, 5: fragmentation of chromatin, 6: apoptotic bodies (H & E, 1000X, Oil)
