Text: concentrations of ET-1, ratio of ET-1 / ANP and counts of macrophage in peritoneal fluid with PVCSS were lower than those in control (P < 0. 005, P < 0. 001, P < 0. 001) and all had significant negative correlation with scores quantifying the severity of PVCSS (P < 0. 05), but volumes of peritoneal fluid in PVCSS were larger than that in control (P < 0. 001) ; counts of macrophage in peritoneal fluid had significant positive correlation with the concentrations of ET-1 of peritoneal fluid in all the three groups (P < 0. 05) ; plasma concentrations of ET-1 and ANP did n't show any significant differences among the three groups (P > 0. 05).
