Figure 3From: Functional jejunal interposition, a reconstruction procedure, promotes functional outcomes after total gastrectomyFJI decreases inflammation and neutrophil and macrophage infiltration into the small intestine in beagles. Beagle tissue sections were prepared as described in Figure 2. Tssue sections were stained using hematoxylin and eosin to assess injury and inflammation (A). Neutrophil and macrophage were stained using Cy3-conjugated anti-Ly-6C/G (a marker for neutrophil) and FITC-conjugated anti-F4/80 (a marker for macrophage) antibodies, respectively. Nuclei were stained using DAPI (blue) (B). The numbers of neutrophil (C) and macrophage (D) per 10X power field are shown. Sham = 5 beagles, FJI = 10 beagles, Roux-en-Y = 7 beagles.Back to article page
