Figure 5From: Serum level of soluble CX3CL1/fractalkine is elevated in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis, which is correlated with disease activityCorrelation of serum CX3CL1 level and the disease activity of polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Correlations of the level of CX3CL1 with (A) serum creatinine kinase (CK) level (n = 29), (B) manual muscle testing (MMT) score (n = 18) in patients with polymyositis (PM) and patients with dermatomyositis (DM), and (C) the alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference (AaDO2) (n = 19) in patients with PM and with DM complicated by ILD. Each point represents an individual sample.Back to article page
