Profiles of Inflammatory Cytokines in the Vitreous Fluid from Patients with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment and Their Correlations with Clinical Features

Figure 1

Kruskal-Wallis test showed there were different elevations in the expression profiles of the intravitreal cytokines for RRD, MH, PDR, ERM, and RVO. Although there were significantly greater upregulations of MCP-1, MIP-1β, and IP-10 in RRD versus MH (Mann-Whitney test, , , and , resp.), there were no significant differences observed between RRD and PDR. IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly elevated to a greater degree in RRD versus MH (, , resp.), while they were significantly lower in RRD versus PDR (, , resp.). ERM and RVO data are not shown. indicates the cytokines which showed to be statistically significantly upregulated in the RRD vitreous compared with MH.
