Figure 5From: Human amniotic fluid stem cell injection therapy for urethral sphincter regeneration in an animal model LPP and CP measurement. LPP and CP were measured one, two and four weeks after injection. Mean LPP and CP were significantly higher in hAFSC-injected animals than in animals without cell injection. Ctrl, positive control with sham operation; Cell (-), pudendal neurectomy without cell injection; Cell (+), pudendal neurectomy with hAFSCs injection (**P < 0.01; *P < 0.05). For LPP, Ctrl vs. Cell(-) and Cell (+) at Week 1, P = 0.0009 and 0.0015; Ctrl vs. Cell (-) and Cell (+) at Week 2, P = 0.0015 and 0.002; Cell(-) vs. Cell(+) at Week 2, P = 0.009; Ctrl vs. Cell(-) at Week 4, P = 0.0052; Cell (-) vs. Cell (+) at Week 4, P = 0.024. For CP, Ctrl vs. Cell (-) and Cell (+) at Week 1, P = 0.0016 and 0.0021; Ctrl vs. Cell (-) at Week 2, P = 0.0025; Cell (-) vs. Cell (+) at Week 2, P = 0.009; Ctrl vs. Cell (-) at Week 4, P = 0.0358; Cell (-) vs. Cell (+) at Week 4, P = 0.036.Back to article page
