Plasma levels of S100A8/A9, PTX3, and CHI3L1 in healthy subjects and patient samples. a–c ELISA results demonstrating S100A8/A9 (a), PTX3 (b), and CHI3L1 (c) expression levels in plasma samples collected from ATAAD patients preoperatively (pre-ATAAD), postoperatively (post-ATAAD), disease controls preoperatively (pre-CPB), disease controls postoperatively (post-CPB), and healthy controls (HCs). ATAAD, acute type A aortic dissection; CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass; HCs, healthy controls; PTX3, pentraxin 3; CHI3L1, chitinase 3-like 1. Data were represented as mean ± SD, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
