Figure 1 The optimal sample size for measuring the volume percentage of glands (VPGL) in the glandular zone of the gastric mucosa was determined in tissue sections of seven corpus biopsy specimens. The VPGL was assessed by counting 100, 200, 400, 600, and 800 points in each tissue section. Counting 400 points appeared to be the smallest sample size that yielded optimal reproducibility.
