Total numbers of circulating stem cell subpopulations per mL of peripheral blood. (A) CD34+CD38– HSCs. (B) CD34+CD38+ HPCs. (C) Lin-CD34+CD45− VSELs. (D) Lin-CD133+CD45− VSELs. (E) Lin-CD34+CD45+ HSCs. (F) Lin-CD133+CD45+ HSCs. Comparisons between the control and septic groups were performed by Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical significance between values for healthy controls and septic shock patients are marked as follows: *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. The comparison of the cell number between days 1 and 3 by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test did not reveal significant differences.
