Figure 4From: Early increases in plasminogen activator activity following partial hepatectomy in humansRelationship between the increase in membrane associated uPA activity (nmol/min/mg protein) and (A) Age, (B) Elapsed time between the time of the resection and the time at which the final sample was obtained, and (C) the total time for which the portal vein was clamped during operation. Spearman correlation analysis showed no correlation for A (p = 0.44, Spearman correlation coefficient = -0.071, n = 8), or B (p = 0.27, Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.26, n = 8). In C however, a statistically significant correlation was observed (p = 0.012, Spearman correlation coefficient = -0.89, n = 7).Back to article page
