Fig. 5From: Oral ulcer treatment using human tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated in trimethyl chitosan hydrogel: an animal model studyIn vivo oral ulcer image and ulcer size measurement results. (A) The size of ulcers in chemically induced rats was measured on Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7. (B) Percentage of the residual ulcer area in hTMSCs, Hydrogel, Hydrogel + hTMSCs, and sham groups on Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7. All image analyses have been performed using ImageJ software. P values are indicated as *P ≤ 0.05 and **P ≤ 0.01 by two-way ANOVA-Turkey’s multiple comparisons test (number of images analyzed per sample: n = 8)Back to article page
