Peripheral Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells at Sepsis Convalescence Improves Cognitive Function of Sepsis Surviving Mice

Figure 5

MSCs transplantation did not affect peripheral inflammation level of sepsis surviving mice. The leukocyte number and neutrophil percentages in peripheral blood on the 12th day after CLP surgery (one-way ANOVA, per group); (b) The HMGB1 protein level in peripheral blood on the 12th day after CLP surgery (one-way ANOVA followed by multiple comparison tests, per group). The data were expressed as the ; , , . Sham+NS: mice received laparotomy and tail vein injection of normal saline; Sham+MSC: mice received laparotomy and tail vein injection of MSCs; CLP + NS: mice received CLP surgery and tail vein injection of normal saline; CLP + MSC: mice received CLP surgery and tail vein injection of MSCs.
