Does a novel nonsynonymous variant of matrix metalloproteinase-7 confer risk of liver cirrhosis?
We have identified a novel genetic association of MMP-7(Asp-137) variant with liver cirrhosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Whether the MMP-7 variant can be a new marker for liver cirrhosis will be further studied.
The levels of serum SOD and hs-CRP were significantly different before and after interventional treatment. The levels of serum SOD and hs-CRP can be used as indicators for the efficacy and prognosis of interventional treatment on type 2 diabetic patients with lower extremity vascular disease.
