Endostatin/Collagen XVIII Is Increased in Cerebrospinal Fluid after Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Figure 1
Elevation of CSF endostatin/collagen XVIII concentrations following TBI at days 3, 5, and 7 but not day 1. (a) Bar graph showing the time course of endostatin/collagen XVIII concentrations in CSF of severe TBI patients 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, and 7 days after injury, compared with that in control patients without TBI. (b) Bar graph showing CSF endostatin/collagen XVIII concentrations in two GCS score groups on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after injury. Each bar represents the mean and standard error of the mean of all samples over all time points. Statistical analysis was performed by Student’s -test or Mann-Whitney test. * and ** compared with their respective controls.
