Multilayered fibroblast sheets (viable sheet) are superior to acellular materials in preventing PF

	viable sheet group (n=7)	non-viable sheet group (n=7)	p value
Ascitic amylase (IU/L)	766.6 ± 181.4	2170.3 ± 531.6	0.039
Ascitic lipase (IU/L)	68.7 ± 32.1	246.3 ± 72.1	0.071
Serum amylase (IU/L)	620.4 ± 27.3	724.7 ± 35.4	0.039
Serum lipase (IU/L)	18.7 ± 1.7	25.9 ± 3.2	0.053

Unpaired Student’s t-test. The ascitic and serum levels of amylase and lipase were assessed in the non-viable sheet group on POD 1 and compared to the viable sheet group. The levels of ascitic amylase, ascitic lipase, serum amylase and serum lipase are summarized. The ascitic and serum levels of amylase were significantly lower in the viable sheet group than those in the non-viable sheet group. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
