title: [Radioimmunoassay of substance P in human hypertrophic scar].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To measure the content of substance P in human hypertrophic scar.
  
  
  METHODS
  The method of radioimmunoassay was used to determine the content of substance P in human hypertrophic scar, non-hypertrophic scar and normal skin.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The content of substance P in hypertrophic scar was significantly higher than that in non-hypertrophic scar and normal skin (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Substance P may play an important role in the process of hypertrophic scar development.
