Total	83.2	8.4	34.0	20.5

^{^a}

Total of the maximum sectional areas of 1–8 nodes at the site.

^{^b}

Proportion of the sectional area of the DCs cluster in the total sectional area of the nodes at the site.

^{^c}

Proportion of the total length of the subcapsular DCs cluster in the circumferential length of nodes at the site.

^{^d}

Numbers of DC rosettes in the maximum sectional areas of 1–8 nodes at the site.
