Fig 1 (A) Representative picture of three endothelial progenitor cell-colony forming units (EPC-CFU) from a postoperative patient. The central core of rounded cells is clearly seen with spindle-shaped cells emanating from the periphery. (B) Fluorescent microscopy of an EPC-CFU stained with low-density lipoprotein (DiI-LDL) (red) and lectin (green). The cells around the periphery of the colony are seen to stain duel positive (yellow) confirming endothelial phenotype.

Fig 2 Endothelial progenitor cell-colony forming units (EPC-CFU) in different surgical groups. All elective patients demonstrated a significant EPC rise compared with preoperative values (*), p = 0.001, p = 0.006, p = 0.05, respectively. Non-coronary artery bypass grafting (non-CABG) patients and urgent patients had significantly higher preoperative EPC-CFU levels than the elective CABG patients (†), p = 0.03 and p = 0.001, respectively. (Light gray columns = preoperative; dark gray columns = day 1; black columns = day 5.)

Fig 3 (A) The VEGF levels did not increase significantly on day 1 after surgery but increased by day 5 (*). (B) The G-CSF levels increased significantly on day 1 after surgery in all patient groups (*) and had returned to preoperative levels by day 5. (C) The SDF-1α levels reduced systemically in all patient groups on day 1 (*). (D) The MMP-9 levels increased on day 1 in the elective patients (*) but not in the urgent group. (Light gray columns = preoperative; dark gray columns = day 1; black columns = day 5; CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; G-CSF = granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; MMP = matrix metalloproteinase; SDF = stromal-cell derived factor; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor.)
