Intimal hyperplasia surrounding different Zn wires after aortic implantation. (a) H&E staining of the different Zn wires implanted in the rat aortas for 1 month. (b) Quantification of the areas of the neointimas of the different Zn wires. (c) Co-staining of the different Zn wires implanted in the rat aortas for 1 month with Cyclin D1and αSMA or Ki67 and αSMA. Quantification of Cyclin D1 positive cells (d) or Ki67 positive cells in the neointimas of the different Zn wires. * indicates p < 0.05, compared between two groups; ** indicates p < 0.01, compared between two groups
