Table 2.

The mean values (the counts from left and right salivary glands) of the Smax, Tmax/Tmin and G/BGmax, and their statistical significance. Baseline and follow-up salivary gland scintigraphies were performed on the subjects who had single treatment (Group 1; radioiodine, Group 2; adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, Group 3; amifostine) and combined treatments (Group 4; radioiodine plus amifostine, Group 5; radioiodine plus adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells concomitant, Group 6; radioiodine plus adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells after 48 h)

G/BGmax = Gland-to-background ratio at a maximum count; ns = Not significant; Smax = Maximum secretion ratio; Tmax/Tmin = Ratio of the time to reach the maximum counts to the time to reach the minimum counts.
