Histological examination of the graft 72 hours after SBT. (a) A representative sample from the SBT group (): obvious intestinal villi atrophy, destroyed villi, denuded villi, dilated capillaries, and some crypt layer injury. (b) A representative sample from the pre-SNP group (): some mild epithelial injuries are present. (c) Post-SNP group (): obvious destroyed, atrophic, and denuded villi and dilated capillaries are visible and some crypt layer injuries are present (HE ×200).
