Table 2. GLK expression in liver tissues of patients with HCC.
| GLK expression | Cancerous (n = 69) | Non-cancerous (n = 69) | P-value1 | Cancerous | P-value2 | Non-cancerous | P-value3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recurrence (n = 32) | Non-recurrence (n = 37) | Recurrence (n = 32) | Non-recurrence (n = 37) | ||||||
| Intensity score (0-3) | 1.0 ± 1.0 | 0.9 ± 0.8 | 0.187 | 1.1 ± 0.9 | 1.0 ± 1.0 | 0.448 | 1.1 ± 0.8 | 0.7 ± 0.9 | 0.057 |
| Proportion score (0-5) | 1.5 ± 1.4 | 1.1 ± 1.0 | 0.017 | 1.6 ± 1.2 | 1.5 ± 1.5 | 0.882 | 1.4 ± 1.0 | 0.8 ± 1.0 | 0.029 |
| Allred score (0-8) | 2.6 ± 2.2 | 1.9 ± 1.8 | 0.033 | 2.7 ± 1.9 | 2.5 ± 2.4 | 0.667 | 2.4 ± 1.6 | 1.5 ± 1.8 | 0.028 |
The intensity score is graded on scale from 0 to 3 (0 for no staining, 1 for weak staining, 2 for moderated staining, and 3 for strong staining). The proportion score is graded on a scale from 0-5 (0 for no staining, 1 for ≥ 1%, 2 for ≥ 10%, 3 for ≥ 33.3%, 4 for ≥ 66.7%, and 5 for 100%). Allred score (range 0-8) = intensity score + proportion score. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. P-values1 are from 2-tailed paired t tests. P-values2 and P-values3 are from 2-tailed independent t tests.
