Figure 5 Number of inflammatory cells infiltrating interstitial space of ulcer scar with flat or non-flat pattern assessed by chromoendoscopy in patients with macroscopically healed gastric ulcer.
The number of neutrophils and macrophages is much higher in non-flat than in flat pattern. The number of macrophages is increased five times vs neutrophils in non-flat scar. n = 6, bP < 0.01 vs flat group.
