Concentrations of cytokines in the FF of patients. The cytokine levels in the FF from 13 patients in the surgery (S) group and 28 patients in the non-surgery (NS) group were analyzed. (a) Growth factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF, and VEGF); (b) Chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, and CXCL8); (c) Inflammatory factors (IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-12(p70), IL-15, IL-18, and TNF-α). The horizontal lines in the box plots represent the median and the 25th and 75th percentiles. The P values were obtained from the Mann–Whitney U test
