From: Bioinformatic analysis and experimental identification of blood biomarkers for chronic nonunion
Further observation of the three biomarkers among different groups of patients by qPCR analysis. The mRNA expression levels of CA1 (a), MMP9 (b), and QPCT (c) in PBMC samples from the healed (n = 18), nonunion (n = 9), healed+DR (n = 21), and nonunion+DR (n = 7) groups at time points 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Data were normalized to GAPDH, and values represent the means ± SEM. **p < 0.01 vs. healed group, #p < 0.05 vs. nonunion group
