Table 1 Semiquantitative staging scores of liver fibrosis by Masson staining

Group	n	Stage, n					Score
		0	1	2	3	4
Normal	8	8	0	0	0	0	0
Model	8	0	0	1	6	1	3.00 ± 0.19a
BDHSCs	8	0	0	2	5	1	2.88 ± 0.23a
BM-EPCs	8	0	0	2	6	0	2.75 ± 0.16a
BM-EPCs/BDHSCs	8	0	3	4	1	0	1.75 ± 0.25aceg

Scores are presented as mean ± SD.

^aP < 0.05 vs normal group;

^cP < 0.05 vs model group;

^eP < 0.05 vs BDHSCs group;

^gP < 0.05 vs BM-EPCs group.
