Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin in vessel walls of the patients with thromboangiitis obliterans(TAO).Methods The vessel tissues were taken from 18 cases of amputation operation due to TAO and 16 cases of amputation operation due to non-vascular diseases.The expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin were assessed by the immunohistochemical method.Results The positive expression rate of VCAM-1 in vessel wall of the patients with TAO was 77.8%(14/18),which of E-selectin was 72.2%(13/18);both of them were obviously higher than 6.3%(1/16) and 6.3%(1/16) in the control group.The positive rate of VCAM-1 and E-selectin had no correlation with the age,smoking amount,smoking time and drug use (P>0.05).Conclusion The expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin have close correlation with the occurrence and development of TAO.Detecting the expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin can serve as a diagnostic indicator of TAO.
