2. Figure 1
Significantly different (P<.0001) expression of plasma myeloperoxidase was shown between 50 healthy women and 44 patients with pelvic inflammatory disease before they received treatment; as well, there was a significantly different (P<.0001) expression of myeloperoxidase between pretreatment and posttreatment plasma in PID patients. There was no significant difference in myeloperoxidase concentration (P=.51) between healthy women and PID patients after receiving treatment. #The significant difference was analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. ##The significant difference was analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

3. Figure 2
(A) There was a significant correlation between plasma myeloperoxidase and WBCs (Spearman correlation coefficients r = .719, P<.0001, n = 44), as well as a significant correlation between myeloperoxidase and neutrophils (r = .709, P<.0001, n = 44). (B) There was a significant correlation between plasma myeloperoxidase concentration and C-reactive protein (Spearman correlation coefficients r = .466, P=.002, n = 44).
