Hematoxylin and eosin staining of the implanted area from rat thigh and Quantitative measurements of new blood vessel and new bone from HE staining slides. A. Control group at 8 weeks post-implanted. B. Experiment group at 8 weeks post-implanted. C. Control group at 12 weeks post-implanted. D. Experiment group at 12 weeks post-implanted. Control is left thigh implanted with the PLGA seeded with the MSCs. Experiment is right thigh implanted with the PLGA seeded with the MSCs and VECs. Red arrow indicates PLGA material. Black arrow indicates new bone. Yellow arrow indicates blood vessel. E. New blood vessel. F. New bone. Control is left thigh implanted with the PLGA seeded with the MSCs. Experiment is right thigh implanted with the PLGA seeded with the MSCs and VECs. The data shown are the means ± SD from six experiments.
