Table 1 The characteristics of glioma patients and controls

	Cases (n)	Gender (male/female)	Age (years)	Education level (years)	MMSE
Frontal lobe	15	10/5	43.13 ± 7.53	10.20 ± 3.43	26.53 ± 1.25
Parietal lobe	12	8/4	41.17 ± 8.76	10.50 ± 4.17	27.50 ± 1.31
Temporal lobe	18	10/8	42.94 ± 8.11	9.44 ± 3.94	27.71 ± 1.33
High-grade (grade III-IV)	13	9/4	44.15 ± 9.46	9.46 ± 3.31	26.77 ± 1.09
Low grade (grade I-II)	32	19/13	41.88 ± 7.33	10.41 ± 4.27	27.56 ± 1.32
Postoperative recovery (≤12 months)	28	17/11	42.71 ± 7.31	10.04 ± 3.63	27.61 ± 1.32
Postoperative recovery (>12 months)	17	11/6	42.24 ± 9.16	10.29 ± 4.67	27.71 ± 1.26
Control	18	10/8	40.37 ± 10.7	9.38 ± 5.72	28.43 ± 1.67

Clinical cases were classified into different groups based on distinct tumor localization, malignancy and postoperative recovery time, respectively. No significant differences in age, gender, education level and score of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) were detected among the different groups (P >0.05).
