Figure 11

Cytokine level of IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, and VEGF in supernatants of human fibroblasts (n = 4) after 96 h of cultivation on several test pellets (forged Ti6Al4V, Ti6Al4V SLM, NiTi, and NiTi + DLC). Data were normalized to the growth control (=100%, dotted line). Boxes denote interquartile ranges, horizontal lines within the boxes denote medians, and whiskers denote minimum and maximum values. For statistical analysis, ANOVA was conducted. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Comparison to growth control: no significances. Comparison between several test pellets: ° p < 0.05.
