Figure 1From: The effect of venovenous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy on immune inflammatory response of cerebral tissues in porcine model Effects of ECMO therapy on cytokine (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-a) in serum. The levels of cytokine (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-a) were assessed 0, 2 6, 12 and 24 hours post-ECMO treatment by using specific ELISA. Results are reported as histograms representing the cytokine mean concentrations with SD. Asterisks inside the graphs indicate the significance of comparison with control group: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.Back to article page
