Changes in the levels of 11 cytokines and PAI-1 and in SOFA and DIC scores. (a) (A) Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), (B) interleukin-6 (IL-6), (C) interleukin-8 (IL-8), (D) interleukin-10 (IL-10), (E) monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), (F) plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), (G) interleukin-12/23p40 (IL-12/IL-23p40), (H) interleukin-4 (IL-4), (I) interleukin-17A (IL-17A), (J) interferon-α (IFN-α), (K) interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and (L) tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The cytokine and PAI-1 values were transformed to common logarithm values to normalise the distribution of the data. All data are expressed as mean ± SD. Asterisks indicate a significant difference in cytokine and PAI-1 levels between control and septic patients on each day (P < 0.05). (b) Changes of (M) SOFA score, (N) JAAM score (O) and ISTH DIC score. The boxes indicate the lower and upper quartiles, the central line is the median, and the ends of the whiskers represent the maximum and minimum values. SOFA: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; JAAM: Japanese Association for Acute Medicine; ISTH: International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
