Correlation analysis between the indexes in UC patients.

	IL-17	TGF-β1	Th17	Treg
Clinical activity index	0.498 (0.000)^△	−0.032 (0.762)	0.653 (0.000)^△	−0.404 (0.000)^△
Endoscopic index	0.448 (0.000)^△	−0.068 (0.379)	0.488 (0.000)^△	−0.419 (0.000)^△
IL-17	—	—	0.562 (0.000)^△
TGF-β1	—	—		0.209 (0.004)

The numbers are shown as (). . The correlation coefficient shows positive correlation; stands for negative correlation. ^△ and indicates the significant correlation between the two indexes.
