(a) Representative image of the ink-propelling test indicating intestinal movement conditions in different groups. (b) The intestinal propulsion rates determined by ink-propelling tests in the different groups (total , abnormally distributed, Kruskal-Wallis test). (c) ELISA results showing gastrin levels in the blood on the seventh day after operation (total , abnormally distributed, Kruskal-Wallis test). (d) ELISA results showing motilin levels in the blood on the seventh day after operation (total , abnormally distributed, Kruskal-Wallis test). (e) The scores of C-kit expression in different groups (total , abnormally distributed, Kruskal-Wallis test). (f) The immunohistochemical staining of C-kit expression in the different groups.
