The endothelial function and endothelial repair capacity of EPCs in CAD patients with or with anxiety/depression and healthy subjects. (a) The mean value of FMD (vs. healthy subjects, ). (b) The mean value of migrated cell numbers (vs. the XKS group, ), (c) the mean value of adhering cell numbers (vs. the XKS group, ) of EPCs, and (d) the representative photographs of migration and adhesion function. (e) Representative photographs and (f) quantification analyses of reendothelialization areas (white) of the injured carotid arteries in nude mice 3 days after carotid denudation surgery plus intravenous injection of EPCs ( cells) from CAD patients with or without anxiety/depression or healthy subjects (vs. healthy subjects, ).
