Here, we report a case of ITP that developed during the follow-up of PBC in a 74-year- old man. The patient had been diagnosed with PBC 12 years previously, and had received treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid. The platelet count decreased from approximately 60 × 109/L to 8 × 109/L, and the association of decompensated liver cirrhosis (PBC) with ITP was diagnosed. Steroid and immune gamma globulin therapy were successful in increasing the platelet count. Interestingly, human leukocyte antigen genotyping detected the alleles DQB10601 and DRB10803, which are related to both PBC and ITP in Japanese patients. This case suggests common immunogenetic factors might be involved in the development of PBC and ITP.展开更多

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a combination therapy for the prevention of no-reflow in patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing primary PCI. Methods A total of 621 patients with STEMI who underwent emergency primary PCI were enrolled in this study. Patients with high risk of no-reflow (no-flow score 〉 10, by using a no-flow risk prediction model, n = 216) were randomly divided into a controlled group (n = 108) and a combination therapy group (n = 108). Patients in the controlled group received conventional treatment, while patients in combination therapy group received high-dose (80 mg) atorvastatin pre-treatment, intracoronary administration of adenosine (140 ~tg/min per kilogram) during PCI procedure, platelet membrane glycoprotein lib/Ilia receptor antagonist (tirofiban, 101.tg/kg bolus followed by 0.15 ~tg/kg per minute) and thrombus aspiration. Myocardial contrast echocardiography was performed to assess the myocardial perfusion 72 h after PCI. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were followed up for six months. Results Incidence of no-reflow in combination therapy group was 2.8%, which was similar to that in low risk group 2.7% and was significantly lower than that in control group (35.2%, P 〈 0.01). The myocardial perfusion (A= 13) values were higher in combination therapy group than that in control group 72 h after PCI. After 6 months, there were six (6.3%) MACE events (one death, two non-fatal MIs and three revasculafizations) in combination therapy group and 12 (13.2%) (four deaths, three non-fatal MIs and five revascularizations, P 〈 0.05) in control group. Conclusions Combination of thrombus aspiration, high-dose statin pre-treatment, intmcoronary administration of adenosine during PCI procedure and platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱ b/Ⅲa receptor antagonist reduces the incidence of no-reflow after primary PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction who are at high risk of no-reflow.展开更多

Methods.Using 125 I labeled human fibrinogen(Fg),specific Fg binding to human platelets induced by HI117 and SJ9A4 was measured as indication of activation of platelet integrin αbβ3 by the two mAbs. Results.HI117 and SJ9A4(10μg/ml and 20μg/ml) induced evident specific Fg binding to human platelets,suggesting that the two mAbs evoked activation of platelet integrin αbβ3.Further study indicated that HI117 and SJ9A4 induced integrin αⅡbβ3 activation independent of platelet Fc receptors, and that HI117 and SJ9A4 induced integrin αbβ3 activation was inhibited by sphingosing, aspirin, apyrase, and/or PGI2. Conclusion.The anti platelet tetraspanin(CD9)mAbs,HI117 and SJ9A4, can induce platelet integrin αⅡbβ3 activation independent of Fc receptors.Three signaling pathways,i.e.thromboxane,secreted ADP, and cAMP pathways may be involved in the process,with protein kinase C activation presumably being the common step of the three pathways.展开更多
