Fig. 5From: Combined application of chondroitinase ABC and photobiomodulation with low-intensity laser on the anal sphincter repair in rabbitGene and protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in injury site of external anal sphincter after laser, chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) and combination of laser and ChABC (Laser + ChABC) treatments. VEGF expression are observed in laser and ChABC groups (green). ***, represent significant level at p < 0.0001 with intact group. ###, represent significant level at p < 0.0001 with sphincterotomy group. $$$, represent significant level at p < 0.0001 with ChABC group. †††, represent significant level at p < 0.0001 with laser group. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 3 animal per group). Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry of external anal sphincter, rabbit (×10)Back to article page
