Is p-selectin expression , but not GPIIb/IIIa activation , enhanced in the inflammatory stage of Takayasu 's arteritis?
P-selectin expression, but not activated GPIIb/IIIa, is enhanced in ADP-activated platelets from patients in the inflammatory stage of TA. P-selectin may play a significant role in the inflammatory and thrombotic responses associated with intractable TA, presumably by inducing platelet-leukocyte interactions.
Adding B. infantis as an adjuvant to several therapeutic regimens commonly used for the eradication of H. pylori infection significantly improves the cure rates.
