Figure 1 Comparison of VEGF concentrations in different kinds of ascites.
Group 1: cirrhotic ascites, Group 2: tuberculous ascites, Group 3: malignant ascites.
Figure 2 Comparison of sCD44v6 concentrations in different kinds of ascites.
Group 1: cirrhotic ascites, Group 2: tuberculous ascites, Group 3: malignant ascites. Concentrations of sCD44v6 in group 3 were significantly higher than those in groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.01).
Figure 3 Concentrations of VEGF and sCD44v6 in different kinds of malignant ascites.
Group A: ovarian cancer; Group B: gastric cancer; Group C: colon cancer. Concentrations of VEGF in group A were higher than those in groups B and C (P < 0.01), while the difference of CD44v6 levels among groups A, B and C was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
