Six different pathological specimens (hematoxylin–eosin, 40 × objective and 10 × ocular), colon-cancer, non-cancer, and mesentery before steroid administration (A: C-pre, C: NC-pre, E: MS-pre), and colon-cancer, non-cancer, and mesentery after steroid administration (B: C-post, D: NC-post, F: MS-post). The graph above shows the eosinophil count per HPF in 20 randomly chosen HPFs. Data are medians and interquartile ranges. ^⋆P < 0.05, one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. The graph below shows the eosinophil count per HPF in 20 randomly chosen HPFs. Data are medians and interquartile ranges. ^⋆⋆⋆P < 0.0001, t-test
