Heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter polymorphism is associated with the development of necrotizing acute pancreatitis.

ObjectivesAcute pancreatitis is a severe and frequently life-threatening disease, which can lead to pancreatic necrosis, acute lung injury, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and other complications. In this study, we hypothesized that the expression of heme oxygenase-1 determined by the numbe
