Representative microphotographs of small artery intimal thickening (grades 0–3). Masson’s trichrome staining (magnification: grades 0, 2 and 3, × 400; grade 1, × 200). Small artery intimal thickening was semiquantitatively assessed as follows: grade 0 (G0), no thickening; grade 1 (G1), mild thickening; grade 2 (G2), moderate thickening without definite narrowing of the lumen; and grade 3 (G3), severe thickening with definite narrowing of the lumen.
