The relationships between angiogenesis and the number of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-expressing cells in patients with dermatomyositis (DM). a The positive correlation between the number of VEGF-expressing cells and the angiogenesis score (AS) in the fascia in patients with DM. b The positive correlation between the number of VEGF-expressing cells and the AS in muscle in patients with DM. P values < 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance
