近10余年来,对前列腺素(prosraglandins,简称PG)的研究取得了很大的进展。前列腺素的结构、代谢及功能已逐渐被阐明。人们认识到它们在许多不同的生理与病理过程,特别是在炎症、过敏、止血及心血管疾病中起着重要的作用。同时,在临床上还发现了一类新的遗传性血小板病——先天性前列腺素合成障碍(表1)。 In the past 10 years, great progresses have been made in the research of prosraglandins (PGs). Prostaglandin structure, metabolism and function have been gradually elucidated. People realize that they play an important role in many different physiological and pathological processes, especially in inflammation, allergy, hemostasis and cardiovascular diseases. In the meantime, a new class of hereditary thrombocytopathosis - congenital prostaglandin synthesis disorder has also been found clinically (Table 1).
