title: [The effect of the molecular triggers of hemostatic activity on thrombosis in early stage of electrical injuries].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the mechanisms of thrombosis in the early stage of electrical injury.
  
  
  METHODS
  Endothelin-1(ET-1), prostacylin(PGI2), platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (Gmp-140), thromboxane (TXB2), and plasminogen(PLG-A) were measured in 26 patients with electrical injury.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It was found that GMP-140 and ET-1 increased significantly(P < 0.01), PLG-A showed a significant change 2 weeks after the injury, while there was an imbalance between TXB2 and PGI2.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is believed that change in one or several mediators mentioned above may trigger thrombosis after electrical injury.
