Histological staining images and statistical comparison after stent implantation in the trachea. (a) Histological HE staining of tracheal tissue 2 weeks after airway stent placement; (b) Histological HE staining of tracheal tissue 4 weeks after airway stent placement; (c) Histological MTS staining of tracheal tissue 4 weeks after airway stent placement; (d) Statistical comparison of the degree of inflammatory infiltration between the two groups; (e) Statistical comparison of granulation tissue thickness between the two groups; (f) Statistical comparison of collagen area percentage between the two groups. Note *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.005.
