EFS (1–15 Hz frequency, 50 V, 0.01 ms duration and 5-second trains) induced relaxation (a) and contraction (b) of rat smooth muscle anal sphincter strips. Results are expressed as grams per milligram of wet tissue (mean ± SEM for four rats). *Significantly different from all other groups (MNC, MSC, SHAM). CTR SR plus physiological injection, MNC SR plus mononuclear cells injection, MSC SR plus mesenchymal stem cells injection, SHAM sham operation
