[Changes in cell adhesion molecules under the influence of surgical treatment in patients with acute thrombophlebitis of the subcutaneous veins in the lower extremities].
The content of soluble molecules of intercellular adhesion-1 (sICAM-1) in 60 patients with an acute thrombophlebitis (TP) of the lower extremities subcutaneous veins was studied preoperatively and 7 days after the operation using method of a solid phase immunoenzymatic analysis (IEA). The sICAM-1 level before treatment in men was increased at average by 75.8% (P < 0.001), in women--by 81.5% (P < 0.001) in comparison with control group, after treatment it was lowered somewhat. The gender differences of patients for the average sICAM-1 concentration was not noted. In ascending TP sICAM-1 higher level preoperatively and its normalization on 7th day postoperatively were observed in patients, admitted to in surgical unit and operated 3-5 days after the beginning of disease. In patients, to whom conservative treatment was performed initially (anti-inflammatory and thrombolytic therapy), but its efficacy was minimal, the content of cell adhesion molecules preoperatively and before the treatment did not differ. Positive dynamic of index was revealed after the intervention. The results of investigation trust the important role of cell adhesion in pathogenesis of an acute TP of the lower extremities subcutaneous veins and perspective of application of the sICAM-1 method determination in dynamic of the patients treatment to estimate the surgical efficacy intervention.
