SIRS group (1) temperature > 38oC or < 36oC; (2) pulse rate > 90 beats/min; (3) ventilation rate > 20 breaths/min or hyperventilation with a partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) < 32 mmHg; (4) white blood cell (WBC) count >1 2,000μL-1 or < 4000 μL-1 , or > 10% immature cells. | |

normal control For the healthy control outpatients, possibilities of acute or past chronic diseases were excluded. Moreover, we made sure that the healthy control subjects had not been hospitalized or taken vitamin-based substitutive drugs in the last 12 months, and proved normal in physical checkups and lab examinations. |
