Antiplatelet Aggregation and Vasodilation Effects of RGDS

In an attempt to demonstrate the biological activities of a short peptide.Arg-Gly-Asp- Ser (RGDS) was synthesized and used for bioassay,The data obtained here proved that RGDS ob- viously inhibited PAF- and/or ADP-induced platelet aggregation.The present paper revealed that RG- DS had vasodilative action and the cGMP accumulation may be one of the mechanisms of RGDS exer- ting bioactivities.

A latent form of essential thrombocythemia presenting as portal cavernoma

Essential thrombocythemia with abdominal thrombotic is frequently associated complications including portal cavernoma as a consequence of chronic portal vein thrombosis. Essential thrombocythemia in a latent form is difficult to identify at onset due to the absence of an overt disease phenotype. In the presented case report, the diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia was initially missed because the typical disease phenotype was masked by bleeding and hypersplenism. The correct diagnosis was only reached when the patient experienced persistent thrombocytosis and pseudohyperkalemia after a shunt operation.

Mechanism Study of Endothelial Protection and Inhibits Platelet Activation of Low Molecular Weight Fucoidan from Laminaria japonica

Several studies have indicated that fucoidan fractions with low molecular weight and different sulfate content from Laminaria japonica could inhibit the activation of platelets directly by reducing the platelet aggregation. To explore the direct effect of LMW fucoidan on the platelet system furthermore and examine the possible mechanism, the endothelial protection and inhibits platelet activation effects of two LMW fucoidan were investigated. In the present study, Endothelial injury model of rats was made by injection of adrenaline(0.4 mg kg-1) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured. v WF level was be investigated in vivo and in vitro as an important index of endothelial injury. LMW fucoidan could significantly reduce v WF level in vascular endothelial injury rats and also significantly reduce v WF level in vitro. The number of EMPs was be detected as another important index of endothelial injury. The results showed that LMW fucoidan reduced EMPs stimulated by tumor necrosis factor. In this study, it was found that by inhibiting platelet adhesion, LMW fucoidan played a role in anti-thrombosis and the specific mechanism of action is to inhibit the flow of extracellular Ca2+. All in a word, LMW fucoidan could inhibit the activation of platelets indirectly by reducing the concentration of EMPs and v WF, at the same time; LMW fucoidan inhibited the activation of platelets directly by inhibiting the flow of extracellular Ca2+.

Comparative study between rivaroxaban and conventional low molecular weight heparin anticoagulant in preventing thrombosis

After entering 2010, as main varieties patents of the global non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonists （ARB） expire, strong growth of anti-hypertensive drug market will tend to slow down. In drugs acting on the cardiovascular and blood system, antithrombotie drugs will become a new attraction on the market. Antithrombotic drugs are primarily formed by the anti-platelet aggregation, coagulation system activation of plasminogen thrombolytic drugs and the like. Antiplatelet drugs have both prevention and treatment effect, are the main category of antithrombotic drugs. According to IMS Health data, in 2008, sale of anti-thrombosis drug in global market is 180 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 16 %, while in 2009 the growth rate is only 7.95%, reaching $ 19.5 billion, growth rate of antithrombotic drugs is 7.13% in the world＇ s major pharmaceutical market.

Construction and evaluation of nitric oxide generating vascular graft material loaded with organoselenium catalyst via layer-by-layer self-assembly

A new biomimetic material for artificial blood vessel with in situ catalytic generation of nitric oxide(NO) was prepared in this study. Organoselenium immobilized polyethyleneimine as NO donor catalyst and sodium alginate were alternately loaded onto the surface of electrospun polycaprolactone matrix via electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly. This material revealed significant NO generation when contacting NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione(GSNO). Adhesion and spreading of smooth muscle cells were inhibited on this material in the presence of GSNO, while proliferation of endothelial cells was promoted. In vitro platelet adhesion and arteriovenous shunt experiments demonstrated good antithrombotic properties of this material, with inhibited platelet activation and aggregation, and prevention of acute thrombosis. This study may provide a new method of improving cellular function and antithrombotic property of vascular grafts.

Bio-inspired natural platelet hydrogels for wound healing

Wound healing has invariably been a fundamental health concern,demanding manpower and materials and causing financial burdens.In this research,inspired by the hemostatic function of platelets,we proposed a novel bionic hydrogel by covalent amidation crosslinking natural platelet and alginate for wound healing.With the natural functional groups,the platelet-derived hydrogel exhibited outstanding biocompatibility and blood compatibility.By changing the addition ratio of platelets to alginates,the mechanical properties of the achieved hydrogel were variable to cater to different wound environments.Furthermore,silver nanoparticles could be loaded into the void space of the hydrogel which endowed the composites with superior anti-infective properties.We have demonstrated that the bio-inspired platelet hydrogel could promote hemostasis of acute tissue damage,prevent bacterial proliferation,and promote angiogenesis,collagen deposition,and granulation tissue formation in wound healing.These features signify the potential values of the bio-inspired platelet hydrogel in clinical applications.
