a Determination of apelin expression in gastric tissues by Western blotting analysis during gastric lesion healing in rats exposed to WIRS for 6 h. Data are presented as box plots showing the range, quartiles (25–75 %) and median. *p < 0.05 vs. the control group; & p < 0.05 vs. the WIRS 1 day group. b Immunohistochemical staining of apelin in the gastric samples during gastric lesion healing in rats exposed to WIRS for 6 h.
