Table 3.

Serous concentrations of CK-MB, cTnT, IMA, and Ang II of the minipigs in the PC6 and ST36 group tested at the normal condition, at the 4th week after the operation and after acupuncture.

	Baseline		After operation		After acupuncture
	PC6 group	ST36 group	PC6 group	ST36 group	PC6 group	ST36 group
CK-MB (U/L)	8.39 ± 0.85	9.08 ± 2.92	9.61 ± 1.03	11.16 ± 1.79	7.76 ± 0.90	6.87 ± 0.50
cTnT (pg/ml)	55.43 ± 6.59	59.41 ± 23.09	69.14 ± 7.96	86.12 ± 15.22	40.07 ± 3.87∗	32.62 ± 0.99∗
IMA (U/mL)	50.46 ± 7.48	74.11 ± 9.77△	76.30 ± 4.11■	85.00 ± 7.43	59.07 ± 3.01∗∗	44.89 ± 1.60∗
Ang II (pg/ml)	90.94 ± 13.41	134.99 ± 46.39	131.51 ± 20.35	107.82 ± 22.15	119.72 ± 27.62	142.13 ± 16.71

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (the PC6 group, n = 6; the ST36 group, n = 5). ^∗P < 0.05 and ^∗∗P < 0.01, compared with that after operation of the same group. ^■P < 0.05, compared with its baseline of the same group. The data of IMA of the PC6 group at different time were analyzed by t-test, and the others were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-ranks. ^△P < 0.05, compared with the baseline of the PC6 group. Datum comparisons between the two groups used rank sum test followed by Mann-Whitney U test.
