Protective Effect of Ultraviolet C Irradiation on the Gastric Mucosa of Rats with Chronic Gastritis Induced by Physicochemical Stimulations

Table 2

The degrees of gastric mucosal activity, chronic inflammatory response, and gastric mucosal atrophy (M, QR).

Groups	n	Gastric mucosal activity	Chronic inflammatory response	Gastric mucosal atrophy
Normal	10	0.00, 0.00	0.00, 0.00	0.00, 0.00
Model	9	2.00, 1.00	2.00, 1.00	2.00, 1.00
OMEP	9	1.00, 1.00	2.00, 2.00	1.00, 1.00
Ultraviolet C (24 s × 2)	10	1.00, 0.00	1.50, 1.00	1.00, 1.00
Ultraviolet C (48 s × 2)	9	1.00, 1.00	1.00, 1.00	1.00, 1.00

Data are expressed as median, quartile range (M, QR). versus model, versus OMEP, and versus 24 s × 2.
