Ratios of HUVEC adhesion rates of sickle RBC to those of normal RBC before and after treatment for the five sickle cell anemia patients with one sickle cell anemia control patient who was not treated. Mean decrease of the adhesion ratios was 1.13 ± 0.21 with p < 0.001 for the five treated patients, whereas the control patient actually had slight increase in the adhesion ratio over the same period.
