The linear correlation analysis between YKL-40 levels and classic inflammatory cytokine. a. The correlation between serum levels of YKL-40 and proinflammatory cytokine in circulating, including respectively pro-inflammatory IL-6 (r2 = 0.73, P < 0.0001), TNF-α (r2 = 0.58, P < 0001), hs-CRP (r2 = 0.61, P < 0.0001) and anti-inflammation IL-10 (r2 = 0.67, P < 0.0001). b. The correlation between BALFs levels of YKL-40 and proinflammatory cytokine in circulating, respectively in IL-6 (r2 = 0.0019, P = 0.46), TNF-α (r2 = 0.011, P = 0.0785), hs-CRP (r2 = 0.084, P < 0.0001) and IL-10 (r2 = 0.0079, P = 0.14). The slight correlation only emerged in between the circulating hs-CRP levels and BALFs levels. The data represented by mean ± SD, and P < 0,05 defined as significantly statistic difference
