Histological analysis of specimen at 4 weeks after surgery. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Masson’s trichrome staining, and immunohistochemical staining for Col-1a1 and Tnmd in the PBS group, the normoxia group, the hypoxia group, and the control (normal) group. (b) Quantification of histological properties after H&E staining in the PBS group, the normoxia group, the hypoxia group, and the control (normal) group. (c, d) Quantification of Col-1a1 (c) and Tnmd (d) after immunohistochemical staining in the PBS group, the normoxia group, the hypoxia group, and the control (normal) group. H&E and Masson’s trichrome staining: μm; magnification: ×200. Immunohistochemical staining: μm; magnification: ×400. Data were shown as . ★★.
