Effects of Cervical Rotatory Manipulation (CRM) on Carotid Atherosclerosis Plaque in Vulnerability: A Histological and Immunohistochemical Study Using Animal Model

Table 3

Multiple comparisons in the serum level of hs-CRP and LP-PLA2 among four groups (mean±SD).

Group	N	hs-CRP (μg/ml)	Lp-PLA2 (ng/ml)
CAS-CRM	8	5.39±0.74	18.63±5.41
CAS	10	4.39±1.11	17.28±6.02
Normal-CRM	10	2.48±0.60	9.63±2.08
Blank-Control	10	2.14±0.48	9.65±1.34

CAS, carotid atherosclerosis; CRM, cervical rotatory manipulation.
Two-way factorial analysis of variance results:
a denotes P< 0.05 significance vs. Normal-CRM group;
b denotes P< 0.05 significance vs. Blank-control group;
c denotes P< 0.05 significance vs. CAS group.
