Effects of the BMSCs on the serum levels of biochemical tests for the liver function. At time point of 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, and 12 weeks after BMSCs treatment, serum levels of ALT (a), AST (b), ALB (c), ALP (d), and TP (e) of the four groups were analyzed and compared. Experiments were conducted in three batches (*p < 0.05). The data demonstrated the values of biochemical tests for the liver function were significantly improved in the BMSCs-HGF/UTMD group at different point times (the decrease of ALT, AST, and ALP and the increase of ALB and TP). (*p < 0.05, compared with the other three groups at the same time; *# < 0.05, made self-contrast at different points)
