Figure 3 Portal group attenuated sinusoidal endothelial injury compared with the Systemic group. A, D: Hematoxylin and eosin staining (× 400 magnification) in the Systemic group and Portal group, respectively; B, E: Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) photographs (× 6000 magnification) in the Systemic group and Portal group, respectively; C, F: CD₃₁ immunohistochemical staining of tissue samples (× 400 magnification) taken at 1 h post-hepatectomy (PH) in the Systemic group and Portal group, respectively; G: Serial changes in the level of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the two groups. ^aP < 0.05 indicates Portal group vs Systemic group.
