Figure 2

Variations of MMP-9 and c-Fn concentrations during the 48 hours following TBI. Patients were grouped according to the maximal MMP-9 concentration between 6 and 12 hours. Grey boxplots: group of patients with maximal early MMP-9 concentration ≥ 20 ng/ml, white boxplots: group of patients with maximal early MMP-9 concentration < 20 ng/ml. A and C: maximal MMP-9 concentration between 6 and 12 hours , B and D: maximal c-Fn concentration between 24 and 48 hours. Each line represents a single patient. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 as compared to the opposite group of patients at the same period. ++ p < 0.01, +++ p < 0.001 as compared to the 6–12 hour period within the same group.
