Figure 4

Haematoxylin/eosin (H/E)-stained sections showing a large portion (~72%) of the blood cells in the flow-recovered artery from a CNR 4 Gy-treated mouse (a) compared to the remaining occlusive thrombus in the artery from a proton-only 4 Gy-treated mouse (b). A typical flow-recovered artery from a CNR-4 Gy mouse that received 300 mg of Fe3O4/kg BW 24 hours prior to proton irradiation (c). The inhomogeneous distribution of IONs was demonstrated by the H/E staining of a sectioned artery. No structural damage, such as rupture or intimal thickening, was observed, despite the presence of nanoparticles near or attached to the wall with an inhomogeneous distribution.
