From: Matrix-metalloproteinase-2, -8 and -9 in serum and skin blister fluid in patients with severe sepsis
MMP-2 (pro 72 kDa and active 62 kDa forms) and MMP-9 (pro 92 kDa form) levels in blister fluid of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and multiple organ failure (MOF). Panel A presents the values of all the patients in severe sepsis and panel B the values of survivors at three and six months. P values from comparison of MODS and MOF patients with the linear mixed model are expressed above: Pg difference between the groups, Pt-g difference in time-group interaction, Pt difference in change over time. MMP, matrix metalloproteinase.
