Explanation of Scale Used in the Semiquantitative Evaluation of Histological Sections
| Scale | Epithelization | PMNL | Fibroblasts | Collagen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Thickness of cut edges | Absent | Absent | Absent |
| 1 | Migration of cells (<50%) | Mild ST | Mild ST | Minimal GT |
| 2 | Migration of cells (≥50%) | Mild DL/GT | Mild GT | Mild GT |
| 3 | Bridging the excision | Moderate DL/GT | Moderate GT | Moderate GT |
| 4 | Keratinization | Marked DL/GT | Marked GT | Marked GT |
PMNL, polymorphonuclear cells; ST, surrounding tissue (tissue out of GT); GT, granulation tissue; DL, demarcation line.
