Table 1. Relationships between the pathological grade and the glioma MMPs expression, EI and EP values and the maximum tumor diameter.
Low grading glioma (n = 20) | High grading gliomas (n = 11) | t | p | |
MMP-2(%) | 16.38 ± 8.43 | 60.47 ± 21.45 | 8.200 | < 0.05 |
MMP-9(%) | 12.09 ± 7.98 | 41.03 ± 14.00 | 6.312 | < 0.05 |
EI | 1.21 ± 0.67 | 6.67 ± 5.55 | 4.405 | < 0.05 |
EP | 4.66 ± 4.61 | 33.86 ± 20.08 | 6.286 | < 0.05 |
Maximum diameter (mm) | 34.02 ± 10.51 | 53.19 ± 9.97 | 5.026 | < 0.05 |
