Histological scoring.

Score	Infiltration	Damage of epithelium
0	No infiltration	Normal morphology
1	Infiltration around crypt basis	Loss of goblet cells
2	Infiltration reaching the lamina muscularis mucosae	Loss of goblet cells in large areas
3	Extensive infiltration reaching the lamina muscularis mucosae associated with mucosa thickening and oedema	Loss of crypts
4	Infiltration of the lamina submucosa	Loss of crypts in large areas

Scores were calculated by adding the score for two parameters, giving a maximum score of 8.
