Title:Intraepithelial lymphocyte distribution differs between the bulb and the
second part of duodenum
Version: 1Date:16 April 2013
Reviewer: Fei Bao
Reviewer's report:
Minor Essential Revisions:
1) Page 5, line 7: In each specimen areas of mostly expressed
histopathological changes ie low villus/crypt ratio, increased numbers of
lymphocytes were recognized. the word "ie" could be changed to "including".
2) Page 5, line 8: "CD3 sections" could be changed to "CD3 immunostained
sections".
3) Page 5, line 11: "was calculated" could be changed to "were calculated".
4) Page 6, line 6: The study results are depicted by mean and 95% confidence
interval (CI)" could be changed to "The study results were depicted by mean and
95% confidence interval (CI)".
5) Page 7, line 7: A reference is needed for the sentence "Intraepithelial
lymphocytosis (i.e. >25 IELs/100 enterocytes, corresponding to Marsh grade I)".
Level of interest: An article of outstanding merit and interest in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
