Association of two polymorphisms of tumor necrosis factor gene with acute biliary pancreatitis

Figure 1 Lane1 and 4, TNF2 homozygote; Lane 2, TNF1/TNF2 heterozygote; Lane 3, TNF1 homozygote.

Figure 2 Lane 1 and 3, TNFB1/TNFB2 heterozygote; Lane 2, TNFB1 homozygote; Lane 4, TNFB2 homozygote.

Figure 3 Baseline concentrations of TNF-α at inclusion in ASBP complicated by septic shock or not. P = 0.643. No significant differences were found in baseline TNF-α levels between sep-tic shock group and no septic shock group.

Figure 4 Comparison of TNF-α levels (pg/mL) in ASBP pa-tients based on TNF2 allele. No significant difference was found in TNF-α levels between TNF2 carrier and TNF1 carrier.

Figure 5 Comparison of TNF-α levels (pg/mL) in ASBP patients based on TNFB2 allele. No significant difference was found in TNF-α levels between TNFB2 carrier and TNFB1 carrier.
