Ischemic Preconditioning Increases Endothelial Progenitor Cell Number to Attenuate Partial Nephrectomy-Induced Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
Figure 6
Immunohistochemical staining for CD34 at 24 h after reperfusion (×200).
CD34 expression was decreased in PN group (B) compared with the IPC group (C) and the Sham group (A). PCRI in the PN group was significantly increased compared to the IPC group and the Sham group (P<0.05), however, there was no significant difference between the Sham and IPC groups. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (D). *Significant difference vs. Sham group (P<0.05); #significant difference vs. IPC group (P<0.05).
