Plasma level of cytokines in all subjects and comparison between different groups in ACHBLF patients. Level of both TNF-α (a) and IL-6 (b) was significantly increased in ACHBLF patients than chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and healthy controls. c In patients with ACHBLF, level both TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly higher in methylated group (defined as either CpG island was methylated, n = 51) than those in unmethylated group (defined as neither CpG island was methylated, n = 30). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
