Evaluation of serum procollagen C-proteinase enhancer 1 level as a fibrosis marker in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the two clinical forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Diverse studies have shown the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in molecules of the immune system and the occurrence of IBD. Here, several SNPs of the immune system with controversial resu...
