Figure 1. Inflammatory events induced by CPB surgery.

Figure 1

Increased mean neutrophil (A) and monocyte (B) counts after on-pump cardiac surgery (n = 21 and n = 24, respectively). C. Increased numbers of circulating CD14+CD16+ monocytes after CPB surgery (n = 14). D. Increased mean C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patient blood samples post-surgery (n = 22). E. Lymphopenia was observed 4 h post-surgery (n = 27). Box-and-whiskers plots. *P<0.01, **P<0.001 vs. pre-op (ANOVA). F. Cyto- and chemokine color profiles of plasma samples (n = 12) obtained at indicated time points, represented as % change compared to baseline. MIF: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor.
