From: Angiogenesis and VEGF-expressing cells are identified predominantly in the fascia rather than in the muscle during the early phase of dermatomyositis

Comparison of the angiogenesis score (AS) and the number of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-expressing cells in the dermatomyositis (DM) group with the respective scores in the polymyositis (PM) group in the fascia and muscle. a The AS in the fascia of patients with DM or PM. b The AS in the muscle of patients with DM or PM. c The number of VEGF-expressing cells in the fascia of patients with DM or PM. d The number of VEGF-expressing cells in the muscle of patients with DM or PM. The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. P values < 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance
