From: In a rat model of bypass DuraGraft ameliorates endothelial dysfunction of arterial grafts
Effect of DuraGraft on intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM)-1, and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) immunoreactivity after cold ischemia followed by blood reperfusion. Representative micrographsof (A) ICAM-1 (× 400, scale: 100 μm), (B) PECAM-1 (× 400, scale 50 µm) and (C) HNE (× 400, scale: 50 μm) followed by semi-quantitative evaluation of aortic rings. A blinded examination of two to four randomized non-overlapping fields per aorta per rat was conducted by two examiners. The results are represented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 versus control and #p < 0.05 versus IR. n = 24 pictures from 6 rats/group.
