Pathological changes in patients with AAAD. (A) HE staining (original magnification ×100) showed that aortic apoptosis was significantly greater in the patients with AAAD. (B) The TUNEL assay showed that apoptosis in the patients with AAAD was significantly greater than that in normal aortas. (C) The level of Caspase 3 was increased significantly in the patients with AAAD (P < 0.05). (n = 8 patients in the AAAD group). ***P < 0.001 vs. the control
