Title: Correlation between PDGF-BB and M1-type macrophage in inflammatory bowel disease:
a case-control study
Version: 1 Date: 25 Oct 2024
Reviewer:  Patroklos Katafygiotis
Reviewer's report:
Very interesting work. I would like to point out some points that I think need to be changed.
In the Abstract in the results the plural in the word “colon” is not needed.
In the paragraph Sampling and preservation in the sentence "Patients with IBD in remission
who underwent colonoscopy obtained biopsy samples from the same sampling area" you should
clarify the meaning of "same sampling area"
Regarding Immunohistochemistry, reference should be made to antibodies and the way they
stain cells.
In the discussion there is the phrase "Due to the complex and unclear etiology of IBD, long-term
treatment outcomes are often poor." which is a generalisation and I think is not needed in the text.
Also on the same page there is the phrase “In healthy intestines” which I think should be written
differently. Then there is a reference to some ratio between M1/M2 without giving any data.
Spearman correlation analysis was followed by a t-test analysis?
You can see the above comments in the text in red.
