The Role of Periostin in Capsule Formation on Silicone Implants
Figure 2
Expression of periostin (a) and (b) in silicone implant-induced capsular tissues by immunohistochemical analysis (original magnification: ×100). Hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained capsular tissue was observed under a light microscope (original magnification: ×200) (c) and (d). Capsular thickness (e) and the cellularity (f) were lower in the PN-KO group () than in the control group (). Black arrows indicate capsular thickness. .
