1
Congested vascular structures per 1 high power field (hpf).
2
The specimens obtained from the control group was evaluated under 5 hpf and average number of neurons was taken into account as %100 (60 neurons) when comparing with other groups.
3
The specimens from the control group were evaluated as normal at 3 points and the case where the maximum gliosis was observed was scored a 0 point. 1-2 points were scored in between these cases.
