Evidence for the role of gastric mucosa at the secretion of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (strem-1) in peptic ulcer disease

Table 4 Correlations between sTREM-1 and TNFα and parameters of gastritis score in non and LPS stimulated supernatants of H pylori positive patients with duodenal and gastric ulcer and of patients with chronic gastritis
