Table 1. The immunohistochemical (IHC) scoring criterion is shown below.

Score Staining intensity Proportion of positive cells
0 Negative <5%
1 Weak 5−25%
2 Moderate 26−50%
3 Strong 51−75%
4 NA >75%

Staining score = staining intensity × proportion of positive cells (0−12). IHC results of miRNA-21 were scored as follows: 0, staining value 0−3; 1, staining value 4−6; 2, staining value 7−9; 3, staining value 10−12. NA: not applied. IHC results were scored by two experienced pathologists.
