Modification of inflammatory profile in group with flap surgery and bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stromal cell therapy. (A): Real‐time‐PCR analysis of TNF‐α and IL‐6. (B): Representative immunostaining for MAC387‐positive macrophages in the epidermis‐dermis and deep dermis of nonirradiated, irradiated on the day of surgery, and suture, flap, and flap‐MSC groups a year after surgery. Arrows indicated the presence of macrophages. Scale bars: 100 µm. Results are expressed as means ± SEM. p values were calculated by analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction, *, p < .01; **, p < .001 compared with nonirradiated controls; #, p < .05; ##, p < .01 compared with irradiated controls. Abbreviations: MSC, mesenchymal stromal cell; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
