[H-3] THYMIDINE LABELING OF DERMAL ENDOTHELIAL CELLS IN SCLERODERMA

[摘要] The purpose of this study was to estimate (3H]thymidine labeling of endothelial cells of skin capillaries in localized scleroderma (LS) and systemic scleroderma (SS). Skin specimens from 14 patients with SS, 5 with LS, and 9 matched controls were studied by in vitro autoradiography. Capillaries from patients with SS showed a statistically significant increase in endothelial cell labeling when compared to vessels from controls (P < 0.0005).
