Cytokines in drain fluid. White square: DS; black square: DM. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Unpaired t test with Welch correction was used. DS vs DM for IL-1 (a): POD-1 p <0.0001; POD-2 p <0.001; POD-3 p <0.01; POD-4 p <0.05. DS vs DM for IL-10 (b): POD-1 p <0.01; POD-2 p <0.05; POD-3 p <0.001; POD-4 p = n.s. DS vs DM for IL-1ra (c): POD-1 p <0.01; POD-2 p <0.05; POD-3 p <0.001; POD-4 p <0.05.
