VEGF Expression for Healing Wounds Treated with HBO

Time Interval1 Oxygen Treatment Number healing wounds VEGF Ratio2 p-value3
T2 to T0 HBO 12 1.86 0.741
T2 to T1 HBO 12 1.27 0.767
T1 to T0 HBO 14 1.38 0.716
1

T0= baseline measurement; T1 = midpoint of therapy; T2 = 14 weeks or imminent closure

2

VEGF ratio = log transformed ratio of VEGF/β-actin (Tx): VEGF/β-actin (Ty) where Tx = first T in time interval and Ty = second T in time interval

3

p-value is testing if the healing VEGF ratio is significantly greater than 1.0 and is generated from a one–sample t-test that uses the natural logarithm of the VEGF ratio.
