Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor (PBEF) gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to and prognosis of acute lung injury (ALI) in several populations of Caucasians. The aim of this study was to detect the distribution of PBEF alleles and to evaluate any potential relationship between PBEF polymorphisms and ALI, sepsis, and pneumonia in the Han...
