Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of standardized semiquantitative scoring of color Doppler ultrasound combined with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) of sound touch elastography (STE) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, providing a reference for the liver fibrosis diagnosis.

Methods: We performed ultrasound and STE on CHB patients, with liver biopsies as the benchmark. We compared the differences in ultrasound standardized semiquantitative scoring and LSM among patients with different stages of liver fibrosis, and evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of significant liver fibrosis using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curve alone or in combination.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, West China Hospital/West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Department of Endocrinology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan, Ningxia Department of Internal Medicine, Leshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Leshan, Sichuan, China.

Objective: The butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) G16071A gene polymorphism has been implicated in the susceptibility to granulomatous diseases, but the results were inconclusive. The objective of the current study was to precisely explore the relationship between BTNL2 G16071A gene polymorphism and granulomatous disease susceptibility by the meta-analysis including false-positive report probability (FPRP) test.

Methods: A systematic literature search in the PubMed, Embase, and Wanfang databases, China National Knowledge Internet, and commercial Internet search engines was conducted to identify studies published up to April 1, 2016.
