The Increased Expression of CCL20 and CCR6 in Rectal Mucosa Correlated to Severe Inflammation in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis

Table 2

The relationship between pathological inflammation severity and CCL20 and CCR6 expression.

	Mild	Moderate	Severe	value
CCL20 IHC score	1.65 ± 0.32	2.43 ± 0.38	3.18 ± 0.38	< 0.05
CCR6 score	0.92 ± 0.68	1.14 ± 0.84	1.34 ± 0.72	< 0.05

Correlations were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney test. A value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
In upper area of Table 2, : demonstrated the comparison between mild and severe group and : demonstrated the comparison between moderate and severe group in CCL20 score (). In lower area of Table 2, : demonstrated the comparison between mild and severe group in CCR6 ().
