## Abstract Endostatin is an angiogenesis inhibitor that is an endogenously produced proteolytic fragment of type XVIII collagen. Serum levels of endostatin have been studied extensively in patients with malignant diseases. Recently, elevated serum endostatin levels were observed in patients with s

## Background: Elevated levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (svcam-1) and soluble e-selectin (se-selectin) have previously been reported in patients with various inflammatory diseases, but not in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (pm/dm). ## Objectives: To determine serum
Patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMD) show a high frequency of thrombosis. For this reason we evaluated endothelial cell markers, soluble adhesion molecule E-selectin (sELAM), and thrombomodulin (TM) in 25 patients with CMD. Among them nine presented thromboses in their past histo
