  1. aHistologic grading was based on the following scale: 0, absent; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe. Statistical analysis was performed using the method of the “mode,” which identifies the predominant value in each group (n = 7).
  2. bBased on the approximate fraction of cells involved: 0, 0%–25%; 1, 25%–50%; 2, 50%–75%; 3, 75%–100%.
