The role of MR imaging in detection of hepatic iron overload in patients with cirrhosis of different origins.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Gastric cancer can progress from a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa resulting from Helicobacter pylori infection that activates the inflammatory response of the host. Therefore, polymorphisms in genes involved in the inflammatory response, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2), have been i...
