Pathological examination of colon segments of groups 1-5. (a) Representative images of Picrosirius Red staining (upper) and CD34 immunohistochemistry (lower) sections of anastomotic tissues in groups 2-5 (400x). (b) The histological score of anastomotic tissues in each group. (c) Microvessel was measured by the average number of CD34-positive vessels. Microvessel density (MVD) was determined according to the number of stained microvessels per optical field. Unpaired Student’s -test was used to calculate statistical significance.
