Combined Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells Accelerates Refractory Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing

Table 2

The comparison of the treatment group and control group among five patients with multiple wounds.

	Treatment group	Control group	/
Wound area after debridement (cm^2)			-0.674^b	0.500
Reepithelialization rate within the first week (cm^2/week)			-2.032^b	0.042
The healing rate within the first week (%)			3.344^a	0.029
Wound area after four weeks (cm^2)			-0.365^b	0.715
Complete healing time after injection (day)			-3.217^a	0.032

The healing rate and reepithelialization rate of wounds treated with cell injection were significantly faster than the control wounds within the first week, also with much shorter complete healing time. The data are presented as , vs. control wounds. ^aPaired test, ^bRank sum test.
