The booklet of Platelet-Vessel Wall Interactions, the second one monograph within the Bloomsbury sequence in medical technological know-how, is particu­ larly welcome as its visual appeal indicates the extra improvement of the sequence and its capability for the long run. The subject matter of this monograph is the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, a subject matter that symbolises the purpose of the sequence, particularly to spotlight the $64000 interfaces among easy clinical technology and scientific perform. Our congratulations to the Editors and participants. London, December 1987 lack Tinker Preface within the Western global, atherosclerosis reasons extra disease and loss of life than the other affliction. regardless of its devastating results, the pathogenesis of the illness continues to be a question for speculation and con­ jecture. This monograph owes its notion to a programme of labor directed in the direction of realizing the elemental pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. The circulatory process is coated by means of vascular endothelium which has a relevant position in holding the integrity of the vessel wall and stop­ ing thrombosis. The typical equilibrium latest among general en­ dothelium which helps blood stream, and platelets which serve to re­ pair broken endothelium, is explored within the first chapters. Atherosclerosis constructing as a reaction to endothelial harm is one speculation which has inspired frequent curiosity, and re­ seek has principally been directed in the direction of discovering the injurious agent.

Furthermore, the endothelium is responsible for the control of vascular permeability. Some consideration will now be given to the morphology, and to a lesser extent the functional aspects, of endothelium. Endothelial Folds When examined both by light and electron microscopy, the arterial endothelium typically has a scalloped morphology. This has appeared as folds when the endothelial surface has been examined by scanning electron microscopy (Groniowski et al. 1971; Kawamura et al. 1974a; Shimamoto 1969; Shimamoto et al.
