Concentration of sRAGE, esRAGE and HMGB1 in serum of patients.

The basic characteristics of patients with TETs, TH and healthy volunteers are detailed. Characterization and categorization of patients with TETs according to type of TET, tumor invasiveness and presence of MG: the corresponding sRAGE, esRAGE and HMGB1 concentration in serum of patients are reported is mean (median) ± standard deviation (standard error mean).aPost hoc analysis: please see the corresponding figures.bindependent-samples t-testcone-way ANOVAdPearson's χ2 test for independencef:m ratio female:male ratio, RAGE receptor for advanced glycation endproducts, sRAGE soluble RAGE, esRAGE endogenous secretory RAGE, HMGB1 high mobility group box1, TETs thymic epithelial tumors, MG Myasthenia gravis, SEM standard error mean, n number of patients, TH thymic hyperplasia, TC thymic carcinoma
