comparison between THE RT group and control group. Continuous data presented nonnormal distribution (age, NIHSS, and infarct volume) were expressed by median (range) and analyzed by Mann–Whitney test. Continuous data presented normal distribution (BMI, FPG, TC, TG, LDLC, HDLC, CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-11) were expressed by and analyzed by Student’s test. Chi-square test was used for rates (sex, current smoker, complication, and infarct location).
