Fig. 1

Differential expression of miRNAs in 34 THS patients and 34 TCE contacts. A shows SYBR™ Green PCR validation of five differential miRNAs. B shows Taqman® MGB PCR further validation of two differential miRNAs. Differential were analyzed using Student's t test (normally distributed) or Wilcoxon test (non-normally distributed). * p < 0.05 vs TCE contacts. THS represented THS patients and Control represented TCE contacts
