The region of interests (ROI) in ultrasonic images were further assessed by TUNEL, COX-2, and BLT1 staining to correlate the inflammatory patterns (A). The percentages of positive cells were quantified by counting positive stained nucleus and divided to the total cell number in ROI (B). Reductions in the number of positive cells for TUNEL, COX-2, and BLT1 staining were found in mice treated with aspirin which is highly agreed with the echogenicity in Fig. 6. Histological evidences for other antiinflammatory drugs also demonstrated that inhibition of either COX-2 or BLT1 alone is insufficient to reduce cell apoptosis and decrease tissue inflammation after fracture injury. *: significant difference (P < .05) from the referred region without treatment.
