Figure 5 Thickness of the esophageal epithelium in the three groups. In the esophagitis group, the thickness of the epithelium in the lower and middle esophagus was significantly greater than that in the controls (P < 0.05). In the ES group, the thickness of the epithelium in the lower esophagus was significantly less than that in the esophagitis group (P < 0.05), and the thickness of the epithelium in the middle esophagus tended to be less than that in the esophagitis group (P = 0.066).
