Correlations between PTX3 and TSP1 levels at different time points in TTM. For the test group TTM there were significant positive correlations between levels of PTX3 and TSP1 at 24 hours (, ) and poor correlations between levels of PTX3 and TSP1 at 72 and 120 hours, 1 week, and 2 weeks (Pearson test for correlations).
