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

Table 3

Reepithelialization rate, the healing rate within the first week, wound area before debridement, and four weeks after cell injection among seven patients with one refractory wound.

	Before cell injection	After cell injection
Reepithelialization rate within the first week (cm^2/week)			-2.366^b	0.018
The healing rate within the first week (%)			-2.366^b	0.018
Wound area (cm^2)			-2.366^b	0.018

The reepithelialization rate and healing rate of wounds given cell injection were significantly faster than before cell injection within the first week (), vs. wound before cell injection. ^bRank sum test.
