Table 5 Level of novel chemokine RANTES in cerebrospinal fluid of traumatic brain injury patients; and the expression of RANTES associated with cerebral contusion in TBI patients
Type of sample | RANTES (ρg/ml) | p value | Post hoc | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Plasma (n = 30) | 971.39 (88.40–1931.13) | 0.0001 | Plasma versus CSF | 0.0001 |
CSF (n = 10) | 34.81 (5.43–226.80) | Plasma versus contuse brain | 0.003 | |
Contused brain tissue (n = 5) | 276.39 (8.47–895.25) | CSF versus contused brain | 0.03 |
