The proportion of APRIL-expressing AECs in the alveolar walls of control subjects, and patients with COPD alone, NSCLC alone or patients with both COPD and NSCLCs: The percentages of APRIL-positive AECs in the alveolar walls of NSC, SC, patients with COPD alone, NSCLC alone and both COPD and NSCLC are shown. The box plots show the median values and the 5 and 95 % confidence intervals, and the error bars are the standard deviations. * indicates p < 0.03 vs. NSC or vs. the group indicated
