Fig. 2From: The pattern of collagen production may contribute to the gluteal muscle contracture pathogenic processContracture site had more type III collagen. A Area measurement method for type I and III collagen under polarized light for Sirius red-stained sections; three typical visual fields were selected from each slice for measurement, and the average value of the three visual fields was used for the final statistics. The unit is pixel. B Mann–Whitney U test results for type III and C type I collagen pixel area in GMC and recurrent GMC patients. D Mann–Whitney U test results for ratio of type I/III collagen in GMC and recurrent GMC patients. E Standard curve of the ELISA kit in use. F Mann–Whitney U test results for type III collagen concentration in 1 g contracture tissue in GMC and recurrent GMC patientsBack to article page
