Mammary gland oxy/deoxyhemoglobin examination results (mean ± SD, n = 28).
| Test time | OxyHb | DeoxyHb | Mammary gland Oxy/DeoxyHb level | Clinical diagnosis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pretreatment | 1.32 ± 0.14 | 0.87 ± 0.13 | Medium OxyHb, medium DeoxyHb | Mammary gland hyperplasia and mastitis |
| Posttreatment | ||||
| 15 d | 1.23 ± 0.09 | 0.90 ± 0.11 | Normal-medium OxyHb, normal DeoxyHb | Mammary gland hyperplasia and mastitis |
| 30 d∗ | 1.16 ± 0.08 | 0.94 ± 0.18 | Normal OxyHb, normal DeoxyHb | Mammary gland hyperplasia |
| 45 d∗ | 1.05 ± 0.04 | 0.98 ± 0.12 | Normal OxyHb, normal DeoxyHb | Normal |
∗At 15 days, the difference between pre- and posttreatment levels of OxyHb and DeoxyHb in patients is not significant (p > 0.05). At 30 and 45 days, there is significant difference between pre- and posttreatment levels of OxyHb and DeoxyHb in patients (p < 0.05).
