Gene and protein expression of actin in injury site of the external anal sphincter after laser, human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs), and combination of laser and hADSCs (laser + hADSCs) treatments. hADSCs labeled by DiI (red). α-actin expression is observed in the hADSCs and laser groups (green). Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 4 animal per group). ***Significant level at p < 0.0001 with the sphincterotomy group. ^###Significant level at p < 0.0001 with the control group (intact animals). ^#Significant level at p < 0.05 with the control group (intact animals) ^$$$Significant level at p < 0.0001 with the laser + hADSCs group.
