ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between change of serum D-dimer (D-D), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1), P-selectin and thrombosis after limb fracture surgery.Methods:289 patients with limb fractures who were treated in the emergency department of Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into deep vein thrombosis (DVT) group ( n=62) and non-DVT group ( n=227) according to whether DVT occurred after operation. The levels of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), D-D, sVCAM-1 and P-selectin were measured before and after operation in all patients. The levels of PT, APTT, D-D, sVCAM-1 and P-selectin were compared between DVT group and non-DVT group. Logistic sequential stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of postoperative thrombosis in patients with limb fractures. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in PT and APTT between 289 patients with limb fractures after operation and before operation (all P>0.05), while the levels of serum D-D, sVCAM-1 and P-selectin after operation were higher than that before operation (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in general data between DVT group and non-DVT group (all P>0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in PT and APTT before and after operation between DVT group and non-DVT group (all P>0.05). The levels of serum D-D, sVCAM-1 and P-selectin before and after operation in DVT group were higher than those in non-DVT group (all P<0.05). Logistic sequential stepwise regression analysis showed that high levels of D-D, sVCAM-1 and P-selectin were risk factors for thrombosis after limb fracture surgery (all P<0.05). Conclusions:High levels of D-D, sVCAM-1 and P-selectin are risk factors for thrombosis after limb fracture surgery.

ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether platelet parameters and pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with platelet activation could be surrogate markers of the diabetic retinopathy stages in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: This prospective case-control study included 108 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and 48 healthy controls. After fundoscopic examination, patients were divided into three groups: no retinopathy, nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, or proliferative retinopathy. Platelet selectin, interleukin-1alpha, and interleukin-6 values were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance formula was used to assess insulin resistance in patients. RESULTS: Mean platelet volume was lower and interleukin-1alpha was higher in the patients compared to the healthy controls (p=0.046 and p<0.001, respectively). In addition, a positive correlation between the platelet distribution width and HbA1C levels was observed in the patients (r=0.334, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: In the studies evaluating the utility of platelet indices and the associated cytokines in diabetic retinopathy, there is a need for the standardization of the measurements. All medications that can affect platelet activation should be taken into consideration.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina (UA), is the most threatening and lethal form of coronary heart disease. ACS has an abrupt onset and rapid development, which may lead to fatal conditions at any time. Thus, it is never too early to detect and diagnose patients with ACS. The objective of this work was to explore the significance of the combined detection of plasma thrombus precursor protein (TpP) and serum P-selectin (Ps), in the detection and diagnosis of patients with early ACS. A total of 126 subjects were included in the study, 64 ACS patients, 30 individuals with stable angina (SA) and 32 healthy persons who were selected as the control groups. There were no differences in gender, age, ethnicity, or blood glucolipid levels among the groups. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa) was used to quantitatively determine the plasma levels of TpP and Ps. The levels of the two biomarkers in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control groups. Among the ACS patients, the levels of TpP and Ps were higher in AMI patients than in the UA patients. In addition, there was no significant differences in the levels of Ps between SA patients and healthy persons. In conclusion, plasma TpP and serum Ps are remarkably increased in patients with ACS. Therefore, TpP and Ps may serve as ACS indicators, and their measurement may provide a support for an early clinical identification of ACS.
Resumen El síndrome coronario agudo (SCA), que incluye el infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) y la angina inestable (AI), es la forma más amenazante y letal de enfermedad coronaria. El SCA tiene un inicio abrupto y un desarrollo rápido, lo que puede conducir a condiciones fatales en cualquier momento. Por lo tanto, nunca es demasiado pronto para detectar y diagnosticar pacientes con SCA. El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar la importancia de la detección combinada de la proteína precursora de trombos plasmáticos (TpP) y la selectina P sérica (Ps), en la detección y diagnóstico de pacientes con SCA precoz. Se incluyeron en el estudio un total de 126 sujetos, 64 pacientes con SCA, 30 individuos con angina estable (AE) y 32 personas sanas que fueron seleccionadas como grupos de control. No hubo diferencias en el género, la edad, el origen étnico o los niveles de glucolípidos en sangre entre los grupos. Se usó el ensayo inmunoabsorbente ligado a enzimas (Elisa) para determinar cuantitativamente los niveles plasmáticos de TpP y Ps. Los niveles de los dos biomarcadores en el grupo de casos (SCA) fueron significativamente más altos que los de los grupos de control. Entre los pacientes con SCA, los niveles de TpP y Ps fueron más altos en los pacientes con IAM que en los pacientes con AI. Además, no hubo diferencias significativas en los niveles de Ps entre pacientes con SA y personas sanas. En conclusión, la TpP plasmática y la Ps sérica están notablemente aumentadas en pacientes con SCA. Por lo tanto, TpP y Ps pueden servir como indicadores de SCA y su medición puede proporcionar un apoyo para una identificación clínica temprana de SCA.
ABSTRACT
Tumor metastasis is responsible for most mortality in cancer patients, and remains a challenge in clinical cancer treatment. Platelets can be recruited and activated by tumor cells, then adhere to circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and assist tumor cells extravasate in distant organs. Therefore, nanoparticles specially hitchhiking on activated platelets are considered to have excellent targeting ability for primary tumor, CTCs and metastasis in distant organs. However, the activated tumor-homing platelets will release transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which promotes tumor metastasis and forms immunosuppressive microenvironment. Therefore, a multitalent strategy is needed to balance the accurate tumor tracking and alleviate the immunosuppressive signals. In this study, a fucoidan-functionalized micelle (FD/DOX) was constructed, which could efficiently adhere to activated platelets through P-selectin. Compared with the micelle without P-selectin targeting effect, FD/DOX had increased distribution in both tumor tissue and metastasis niche, and exhibited excellent anti-tumor and anti-metastasis efficacy on 4T1 spontaneous metastasis model. In addition, due to the contribution of fucoidan, FD/DOX treatment was confirmed to inhibit the expression of TGF-β, thereby stimulating anti-tumor immune response and reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment. The fucoidan-functionalized activated platelets-hitchhiking micelle was promising for the metastatic cancer treatment.

The clinic data of patients in two groups were analyzed.Results:The serum P-selectin and TPO levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group: (62.35 ± 16.71) μg/L vs. (25.42 ± 9.18) μg/L, (12.64 ± 3.26) μg/L vs. (6.93 ± 1.77) μg/L ( P<0.01). In patients with different severity of glioma, serum P-selectin and TPO levels in the high-grade group were significantly higher than those in the low-level group: (65.14 ± 17.19) μg/L vs. (53.71 ± 15.26) μg/L, (14.57 ± 3.38) μg/L vs. (9.04 ± 1.97) μg/L ( P<0.01). Serum P-selectin and TPO levels in patients with glioma after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment: (57.28 ± 16.22) μg/L vs. (62.35 ± 16.71) μg/L, (10.85 ± 2.97) μg/L vs. (12.64 ± 3.26) μg/L ( P<0.01). Spearman correlation analysis result showed that there was a significant positive correlation between serum P-selectin, TPO levels and WHO classification in patients with glioma ( r = 0.417 and 0.361, P<0.05). The results of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of serum P-selectin in the diagnosis of glioma was 0.859 (95% CI 0.794 to 0.910, P<0.01), the sensitivity was 90.00%, and the specificity was 74.53%. The ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of serum TPO in the diagnosis of glioma was 0.720 (95% CI 0.643 to 0.789, P<0.01), the sensitivity was 69.81%, and the specificity was 72.00%. Conclusions:Serum P-selectin and TPO are abnormally expressed in glioma patients, and their level changes are related to the severity of the disease.

Aim To investigate the effects of salidro-side on oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation ( OGD/R) injury in human umbilical vein cells ( HU-VECs ) and the possible mechanism. Methods OGD/R model was built after the density of cell growth reached 80％ ～85％. The OGD time point was deter-mined by MTT method to detect cell viability;LDH ac-tivity detection was used to explore the best dosage sol-ubility;NO content assay was applied to determine the best drug solubility, the degree of apoptosis was detec-ted by Annexin V/PI, and the expression of P-selectin was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results MTT detection determined that the time point of OGD was 16 h; LDH activity detection and NO content detection showed that the best efficacy of salidroside was 10μmol · L-1 . Compared with control group, Annexin V/PI detection showed that the apoptotic rate increased significantly ( P <0.01 ) after OGD/R, and the ex-pression of P-selectin in OGD/R group obviously in-creased ( P <0.01 ) . Compared with OGD/R group,the expression of P-selectin obviously declined ( P <0.05 ) , while the cell apoptotic rate increased ( P <0.05) after the administration. Conclusions Salidro-side may protect HUVEC cells from OGD/R injury and its mechanism may be related to related to the down-regulation of P-selectin and the inhibition of the pro-duction of inflammation.

ABSTRACT
Gene therapies have been applied to the treatment of cardiovascular disease, but their use is limited by the need to deliver them to the right target. We have employed targeted contrast ultrasound-mediated gene transfection (TCUMGT) via ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) to transfer therapeutic genes to specific anatomic and pathological targets. Phospholipid microbubbles (MBs) with pcDNA3.1-human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165) plasmids targeted to P-selectin (MB+P+VEGFp) were created by conjugating monoclonal antibodies against P-selectin to the lipid shell. These microbubbles were divided into four groups: microbubble only (MB), microbubble+P-selectin (MB+P), microbubble+pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 plasmid (MB+VEGFp), and microbubble+ P-selectin+pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 plasmid (MB+P+VEGFp). The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results showed that the VEGF gene was successfully transfected by TCUMGT and the efficiency is increased with P-selectin targeting moiety. UTMD-mediated delivery of VEGF increased myocardial vascular density and improved cardiac function, and MB+P+VEGFp delivery showed greater improvement than MB+VEGFp. This study drew support from TCUGMT technology and took advantage of targeted ultrasound contrast agent to identify ischemic myocardium, release pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 recombinant plasmid, and improve the myocardial microenvironment, so promoting the restoration of myocardial function.
