Objective:
To determine the change of P-selectin in avulsion-injured vessels.
Methods:
Different stretch forces of 60, 70, 80 and 90 g were applied to a vascular injury model. The expression changes of P-selectin were evaluated by RT-PCR.
Results:
The expression of P-selection mRNA in the injured vessels increased with the stretch force.
Conclusion:
The result associated with our previous study indicated that P-selectin may be involved in thrombosis.

Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
