When fresh rabbit aorta is incubated with plasma, prostacyclin, a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, is normally released. Plasma obtained from 2 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) inhibited prostacyclin activity, while plasma from 22 other patients with SLE and 40 normal control subjects showed normal activity. Absence of prostacyclin activity did not appear to correlate with the clinical severity of the underlying disease. The possible association of this finding and the presence of thrombotic lesions in both patients is discussed.
当新鲜兔主动脉与血浆一起孵育时,通常会释放出前列环素,一种有效的血小板聚集抑制剂。从2例系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者获得的血浆抑制了前列环素活性,而来自其他22例SLE患者和40名正常对照者的血浆显示出正常活性。前列环素活性的缺乏似乎与基础疾病的临床严重程度无关。讨论了这一发现与两名患者血栓性病变存在之间的可能关联。
