Figure 3. Dynamic changes in the expression of inflammatory factors and angiogenic factors in the capsule of rats with chronic subdural hematoma after modeling. (A) Changes in MMP-9 mRNA expression in the hematoma capsule at different timepoints after modeling. (B) Changes in VEGF mRNA expression in the hematoma capsule at different timepoints after modeling. (C) Changes in MMP-9 protein expression in the hematoma capsule detected by ELISAs at different timepoints after modeling. (D) Changes in VEGF protein expression in the hematoma capsule detected by ELISAs at different timepoints after modeling. (E) Changes in IL-6 protein expression in the hematoma capsule detected by ELISAs at different timepoints after modeling. (F) Changes in IL-8 protein expression in the hematoma capsule detected by ELISAs at different timepoints after modeling. (G) Changes in IL-10 protein expression in the hematoma capsule detected by ELISAs at different timepoints after modeling. IM: immediately after modeling. * p < 0.05 compared with the control group, ** p < 0.01 compared with the control group, *** p < 0.001 compared with the control group.
