Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative photomicrographs of alveolar tissue sections stained with vascular endothelial markers and the inflammatory marker in the control group (A,C,E,G,I,K) and EPO group (B,D,F,H,J,L) at 1 and 5 days. On day 1, the EPO group show stronger expression of cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the entire extraction socket, especially in the apical and middle one-third of the regions compared to the control (A′,B′,E′,F′) . On day 5, the localization patterns are intensified in the EPO group compared to those observed on day 1 (B′,D′,F′,H′) . The EPO group also show a much stronger localization pattern, especially in the coronal 1/3 compared to that in the apical 1/3 and middle 1/3 regions (B′,D′,F′,H′) . In contrast, the EPO group showed decreased immunolocalization of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in both 1- and 5-day specimens (I′,J′,K′,L′) . Red arrows point to positive cells against CD31 (A–D) , VEGF (E–H) , and MPO (I–L) . Scale bar: X = 100 μm, X’ = 20 μm (X′ is higher magnification of X).
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies against inflammatory marker myeloperoxidase (MPO; cat. No. bs-4943R; 1:250; Bioss Antibodies, United States), osteocalcin (cat. ab93876; 1:250, Abcam, United Kingdom), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2; cat. No. ab192256; 1:1000; Abcam, United Kingdom) were used to investigate bone formation and differentiation.
