Figure 7

The spatial and temporal expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF in the retina.

VEGF were faint positively staining in the inner retinal layers of the contralateral eyes. The same faint positively expressions in the inner retinal layers were found in the silicone oil and FCVB + silicone oil groups at 90 days and 180 days postoperatively. No remarkable positive staining of HIF-1α was demonstrated in the contralateral eyes and the two treated groups' eyes at each time point. (Scale bars, 50 μm; n = 4 per group).
