The expression kinetics of CD137 in chronic hepatitis C patients treated with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at risk of developing metabolic bone disease. In diagnosing osteoporosis, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements play a key role. Our aims in this study were to assess the skeletal status with quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and to evaluate the ability of thi...
