Levels of Circulating Microparticles in Lung Cancer Patients and Possible Prognostic Value
Figure 1
Comparison of plasma levels of microparticles (MPs) with different treatment statuses. (a) Apoptotic EDMP plotted against disease status, ; (b) apoptotic PDMP plotted against disease status, ; (c) activated EDMP plotted against disease status, ; (d) activated PDMP plotted against disease status, . DisC = disease control (); DisP = disease progression (); NoT = disease with no treatment (). In these plots, the dot within the line represents the median values; the upper and lower lines represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. EDMP = endothelium-derived microparticles; PDMP = platelet-derived microparticles.
