IRScores of PAF-AH (nucleus and cytoplasm), pGSK3β (cytoplasma) and β-catenin (membrane) staining were correlated to each other using Spearman’s correlation analysis. Significant correlations are indicated by asterisks (*: p ≤ 0.05). Cc = correlation coefficient, p = two-tailed significance, n = number of patients.
