Soluble complement receptor type 1 (sCR1) in chronic liver diseases: serum levels at different stages of liver diseases.

abstract：:Functional impairments of polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) are believed to contribute to hampered inflammation and host defence in alcoholics. We studied effects of i.v. ethanol administration on PMN responses in rabbits during induction of a knee-joint synovitis. The synovitis conferred systemic effects, since ch...
