ABSTRACT
Background: Potato peel extract has demonstrated the ability to reduce platelet aggregation in vitro, suggesting its potential as a dietary intervention for preventing atherothrombotic disorders. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of a potato peel-rich diet on platelet aggregation. Methods: A randomized, crossover-controlled, open two-period study was carried out with the participation of 12 healthy volunteers. Platelet aggregation was assessed before and after a seven-day dietary intervention. Participants consumed either a diet rich in potato peel (2 g/kg/d) or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as a reference (100 mg/d). Platelet aggregation percentages were measured following stimulation with arachidonic acid (AA, 150 µg/mL), adenosine diphosphate (ADP, 10 µM), and collagen (COL, 10 µg/mL). Results: The potato peel-rich diet resulted in a slight but significant reduction in platelet aggregation when stimulated with arachidonic acid compared to baseline values (85.0±2.0% vs. 91.3±1.7%, p<0.05). This effect was less pronounced than the reduction achieved with ASA (16±1.9%, p<0.001). Conclusion: The administration of a diet rich in potato peel reduces platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid, suggesting its potential role in the prevention of atherothrombotic disorders.
Introducción: El extracto de cáscara de patata ha demostrado su capacidad para reducir la agregación plaquetaria in vitro, lo que sugiere su potencial como intervención dietética para prevenir trastornos aterotrombóticos. Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto de una dieta rica en cáscara de patata en la agregación plaquetaria. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio aleatorizado, controlado, cruzado y abierto con la participación de 12 voluntarios sanos. Se evaluó la agregación plaquetaria antes y después de una intervención dietética de siete días. Los participantes consumieron una dieta rica en cáscara de patata (2 g/kg/d) o ácido acetilsalicílico (ASA) como referente (100 mg/d). Se midieron los porcentajes de agregación plaquetaria después de la estimulación con ácido araquidónico (AA, 150 µg/mL), difosfato de adenosina (ADP, 10 µM) y colágeno (COL, 10 µg/mL). Resultados: La dieta rica en cáscara de patata resultó en una ligera pero significativa reducción en la agregación plaquetaria cuando se estimuló con ácido araquidónico en comparación con los valores iniciales (85,0 ± 2,0% vs. 91,3 ± 1,7%, p <0,05). Este efecto fue menos pronunciado que la reducción lograda con ASA (16 ± 1,9%, p <0,001). Conclusión: La administración de una dieta rica en cáscara de patata reduce la agregación plaquetaria inducida por ácido araquidónico, lo que sugiere su papel potencial en la prevención de trastornos aterotrombóticos.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis and antiplatelet therapy in patients with stroke warning syndrome (SWS), as well as influencing factors of the outcome in patients with SWS.Method:Patients with SWS admitted to the 521 st Hospital of Ordnance Group from June 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023 were retrospectively included. Some patients were treated with ateplase intravenous thrombolysis, followed by oral antiplatelet therapy; some patients only received antiplatelet therapy. The main outcome measure was the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days after onset, with a score of 0-2 defined as good outcome. Results:A total of 35 patients with SWS were included, including 26 males (74.3%) with an age of 58.29±11.06 years. Nineteen patients (54.3%) received intravenous thrombolysis, and 27 (77.1%) had good outcome at 90 days. There was no statistically significant difference in demographic, baseline data, and good outcome between the intravenous thrombolysis group and the antiplatelet therapy group. One patient had new stroke and one had transient ischemic attack in the intravenous thrombolysis group. There were statistically significant differences in ABCD2 score, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, highest National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at onset, and symptom duration between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis is similar to that of antiplatelet drugs alone in treating SWS. ABCD2 score, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, highest NIHSS score at onset, and duration of symptoms may be influencing factors for the outcome of patients with SWS.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of preoperative ticagrelor application on postoperative NF-κB signa-ling pathway,platelet aggregation and myocardial microcirculatory perfusion in patients with acute myocardial in-farction(AMI)and multivessel lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:A total of 120 AMI patients with multivessel lesions treated in our hospital were selected,randomly and equally divided into clopidogrel group and ticagrelor group.Corresponding drugs were given in each group before and after PCI.NF-κB signaling pathway related indexes,platelet aggregation rate,myocardial microcirculatory indexes before and af-ter medication,and incidence of major adverse cardio-and cerebrovascular events(MACCE)were observed and compared between two groups.Results:On 7d after PCI,compared with clopidogrel group,there were significant reductions in corrected TIMI frame count(CTFC)of left anterior descending(LAD)[(23.83±2.69)vs.(20.48± 3.05)],left circumflex(LCX)[(20.93±2.82)vs.(18.35±2.37)]and right coronary artery(RCA)[(23.68± 3.15)vs.(21.13±2.79)]in ticagrelor group,P=0.001 all;compared with clopidogrel group after 30d treatment,there were significant reductions in platelet maximum aggregation rate,maximum depression amplitude of ST seg-ment,ST segment depression time,24h ischemia onset times,levels of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)protein,NF-κB protein,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-a and interleukin(IL)-6 in ticagrelor group,P=0.001 all.There was no significant difference in incidence rate of MACE between two group within six months,P=0.186.Conclu-sion:Ticagrelor can improve myocardial microcirculation,inhibit platelet aggregation,and reduce inflammatory re-sponse in AMI patients with multivessel lesions,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB sig-naling pathway activity by ticagrelor.

ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: In order to search for coumarin-based anti-platelet aggregation compounds with high efficacy and good druggability, twenty-five 3-acetyl-7-hydroxy-coumarin oxime derivatives (6a-6y) were synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack reaction, Knoevenagel reaction, Williamson reaction, electrophilic substitution reaction and oximation reaction from resorcinol. Their structures were confirmed by HRMS and 1H NMR spectra. The anti-platelet aggregation activity of the target compounds was evaluated using Born’s turbidimetric method. The results revealed that most of them could significantly inhibit platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, arachidonic acid (AA) and thrombin. Among them, the target compounds 6a and 6b not only had strong inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation induced by the four inducers, but also exhibited good water solubility (3.46 mg/mL and 3.85 mg/mL, respectively) and lipid-water partition coefficient (2.56 and 2.85, respectively) and were expected to become a preclinical candidate compound with multi-target action against platelet aggregation.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of multiple apheresis platelet donation on platelet indexes and aggregation function in platelet donors, and to analyze the relationship between platelet indexes and their relationship with platelet aggregation rate. 【Methods】 A total of 83 platelet donors were randomly selected from Foshan Central Blood Station from September 2021 to October 2022, and were divided into control group (n= 9, first-time platelet donors or donors with the time interval from the last platelet donation >1 year) and study group (n= 74, repeat platelet donors or donors with the time interval from the last platelet donation ≤ 1 year) according to the times of blood donation. The study group was divided into 4 subgroups: 2-5 times group, 6-10 times group, 11-15 times group and 16 times group. The platelet count(Plt), platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), large platelet ratio (P-LCR), and maximum platelet aggregation rate (MAR) before donation in each group were detected and analyzed. 【Results】 There were no significant differences in Plt, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and MAR between the subgroups and the control group (P>0.05), and there were no significant differences in Plt, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and MAR between each subgroup (P>0.05) .There was a positive correlation between Plt and MAR in blood donors (P<0.05), and the correlation coefficient was 0.445. MPV, PDW and P-LCR were negatively correlated with MAR (P<0.05), and the correlation coefficients were -0.282, -0.233 and -0.217, respectively. Plt was negatively correlated with MPV, PDW and P-LCR (P < 0. 05), and the correlation coefficients were -0.399, -0.307 and -0.339, respectively. MPV, PDW and P-LCR are positively correlated with each other. The correlation coefficient between MPV and PDW was 0.792, that between MPV and P-LCR was 0.863, and tthat between PDW and P-LCR was 0.817. 【Conclusion】 There was no significant effect of multiple platelet donations on Plt, PDW, MPV, P-LCR and MAR in blood donors. Plt has the most significant impact on MAR among platelet indexes of platelet donors.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate whether the blood donors' coagulation status may lead to apheresis platelet aggregation in vitro. 【Methods】 Thirty blood donors with aggregation in apheresis platelets collected by AMICUS blood cell separator no less than 3 times previously and occurred when the last time of apheresis donation were observed in aggregated group (referred to as the experimental group); Thirty donors without aggregation in apheresis platelets collected by AMICUS blood cell separator no less than 3 times were observed in the control group simultaneously. The basic platelet parameters in the two groups, including Plt, MPV, PDW, Pet, P-LCR were detected by automatic blood cell analyzer (BC-3000Plus), and thromboelastogram indexes including reaction time(R), kinetics time(K), kinetics of clot development(α), maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation index(CI) were tested by Thrombosis elastography (TEG) before collection. With SPSS24.0 software, t test was used to compare the differences between the two groups. 【Results】 The CI value in experimental group was significantly different from that of the control group (0.48± 1.00 vs -0.99 ±1.96, P0.05 ) . 【Conclusion】 The coagulation status of blood donors may be an independent risk factor for the in vitro aggregation of apheresis platelets.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of Tirofiban on different shear-induced platelet aggregation, and to provide medication suggestions for the treatment of thrombosis in different hemodynamic environment. Methods Polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS)-glass microchannel chips were fabricated by soft lithography. The whole blood of healthy volunteers anticoagulated with sodium citrate was collected and incubated with different concentrations of Tirofiban in vitro. The blood flowed through the straight microchannel or channel with 80% narrow for 150 seconds at the speed of 11 μL/ min and 52 μL/ min, respectively. The wall shear stress rates in straight channel at 11 μL/ min and 52 μL/ min were 300 s-1 and 1 500 s-1, respectively. The maximum wall shear rates in the channel with 80% occlusion at 11 μL/ min and 52 μL/ min were 1 600 s-1 and 7 500 s-1, respectively. The adhesion and aggregation images of fluorescent labeled platelets on glass surface were photographed with the microscope, and the fluorescent images were analyzed with Image J. The platelet surface coverage ratio was used as a quantitative index of platelet aggregation behavior, and the IC50 of Tirofiban for platelet inhibition was calculated under different shear rates. Flow cytometry was used to detect the platelet activation index (CD62P, PAC-1) in the whole blood at 52 μL/ min in channel with 80% occlusion. Results Tirofiban inhibited platelet aggregation in a dose-dependent manner, and the inhibitory effect was related to the shear rate. Under the shear rates of 11 μL/ min and 52 μL/ min, the aggregation was almost completely inhibited when the concentration in straight channel reached 100 nmol / L. When the concentration in channels with 80% occlusion reached 1 μmol / L, the aggregation was almost completely inhibited. IC50 values at 11 μL/ min and 52 μL/ min in straight channel were 2. 3 nmol / L and 0. 5 nmol / L, respectively. IC50 values at 11 μL/ min and 52 μL/ min in channels with 80% occlusion were 20. 73 nmol / L and 4. 5 nmol / L. Pathologically high shearforce induced an increase in platelet activation, which could be inhibited by Tirofiban. Conclusions Tirofiban can effectively inhibit shear-induced platelet aggregation, and different concentrations of Tirofiban should be given according to the thrombus formed in different shear force environment in clinic practice
ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the antiplatelet effect of ticagrelor by microfluidic chip and flow cytometry under shear stress in vitro. Methods Microfluidic chip was used to examine the effect of ticagrelor on platelet aggregation at the shear rates of 300/s and 1500/s.We adopted the surface coverage of platelet aggregation to calculate the half inhibition rate of ticagrelor.The inhibitory effect of ticagrelor on ADP-induced platelet aggregation was verified by optical turbidimetry.Microfluidic chip was used to construct an in vitro vascular stenosis model,with which the platelet reactivity under high shear rate was determined.Furthermore,the effect of ticagrelor on the expression of fibrinogen receptor (PAC-1) and P-selectin (CD62P) on platelet membrane activated by high shear rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results At the shear rates of 300/s and 1500/s,ticagrelor inhibited platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner,and the inhibition at 300/s was stronger than that at 1500/s (both P<0.001).Ticagrelor at a concentration ≥4 μmol/L almost completely inhibited platelet aggregation.The inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by ticagrelor was similar to the results under flow conditions and also in a concentration-dependent manner.Ticagrelor inhibited the expression of PAC-1 and CD62P. Conclusion We employed microfluidic chip to analyze platelet aggregation and flow cytometry to detect platelet activation,which can reveal the responses of different patients to ticagrelor.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of platelet aggregation rate for early neurological deterioration (END) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Consecutive patients with AIS received IVT at the Department of Neurology, Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya School of Medical, Central South University from November 2020 to July 2023 were retrospectively included. The maximum platelet aggregation rate (MAR) was measured using the PL-12 multi-parameter platelet function analyzer. END was defined as an increase of ≥4 from baseline in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score within 24 h after IVT. The demographic, baseline data, laboratory findings, and imaging results between the END and non-END groups were compared, and the dynamic changes in MAR induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) before, immediately after, and 2 h after IVT were observed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for END. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the predictive value of MAR for END at different time points. Results:A total of 300 patients were included, aged 64.88±8.82 years, with a median baseline NIHSS score of 11 (interquartile range, 8-15) and the onset-to-needle time was 172.03±53.96 min. Among them, 66 patients (22.0%) developed END. The MAR-AA and MAR-DP levels before, immediately after, and 2 h after IVT in the END group were significantly higher than those in the non-END group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MAR-AA (odds ratio 1.098, 95% confidence interval 1.039-1.161; P<0.001) and MAR-ADP (odds ratio 1.100, 95% confidence interval 1.038-1.167; P<0.001) at 2 h after IVT were the independent risk factors for END. ROC curve analysis shows that MAR-AA and MAR-ADP before, immediately after, and 2 h after IVT had good predictive value for END. Among them, the area under the curve corresponding to MAR-AA and MAR-ADP at 2 h after IVT was the largest, with values of 0.745 and 0.710, respectively. The optimal cutoff value of MAR-AA was 39.28%, and the sensitivity and specificity for predicting END were 74.2% and 76.1%, respectively. The optimal cutoff value of MAR-ADP was 43.35%, and the sensitivity and specificity for predicting END were 69.7% and 66.2%, respectively. Conclusion:The MAR measured by PL-12 is closely associated with the risk of END in patients with AIS after IVT treatment, and has good predictive value for END.
ABSTRACT
Dual antiplatelet therapy has been widely used for the secondary prevention in patients with minor stroke and high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA). Currently, the commonly used antiplatelet drugs are aspirin and clopidogrel. The therapeutic effect of antiplatelet drugs varies among individuals, namely platelet resistance. Among them, aspirin resistance is often caused by poor drug compliance, while clopidogrel resistance is often associated with CYP2C19 allele mutations. Patients with minor stroke and high-risk TIA carrying CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles have poor preventive effects when using clopidogrel. Early screening of the CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles and targeted measures can benefit such patients. This article reviews the research progress on the selection of antiplatelet therapy for minor stroke or high-risk TIA patients carrying the CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles.
ABSTRACT
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are leading causes of death and disability in the world population. Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) is a rare clinical syndrome of AMI combined with AIS, which refers to the critical symptoms of simultaneous acute focal neurological deficits and precordial pain or electrocardiogram changes. The incidence of CCI ranges from 0.09% to 1.6%, but patients have a critical condition, poor prognosis, and high mortality and disability rates. Due to the complexity of the condition, diverse etiology, and limited evidence and mechanistic research, the management of patients with CCI is challenging. This article summarizes the pathogenesis related to CCI, the effectiveness of drug treatment, indications for endovascular treatment, and the selection of surgical sequence, with the aim of shortening thrombolysis/endovascular treatment time and improving outcomes of patients.
ABSTRACT
Antiplatelet drugs are the cornerstone of long-term treatment and secondary prevention for ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) recommended by guidelines, aimed at reducing the risk of recurrent stroke and other cardiovascular events. However, some patients with ischemic stroke/TIA may still experience ischemic events during antiplatelet therapy, known as high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR), which typically occurs in patients taking aspirin or clopidogrel. This article elaborates the incidence, risk factors, and commonly used evaluation methods of HTPR in patients with ischemic stroke/TIA, and elucidates the clinical significance of HTPR in patients with ischemic stroke/TIA, and investigates the antiplatelet treatment protocol of patients with HTPR.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the mechanism of Panax notoginseng in treatment of platelet aggregation based on network pharmacology. Methods:Traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) was queried to screen the drug components of P. notoginseng, and Swiss Target Prediction was used to predict the target of drug components. The GeneCards database was used to obtain disease targets for platelet aggregation, and Venny 2.1 was used to obtain intersection targets. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) was analyzed with String and network diagram with the Cytoscape. The drug-target-pathway network map was constructed by using the Cytoscape software. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) were analyzed with the Metascape. Results:Seven active components of P. notoginseng directly acted on 142 disease targets through multiple pathways to treat platelet aggregation. Among them, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, quercetin, and ginsenoside Rh 2 were core components. Tumor protein p53 (TP53), mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), JUN, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and protein kinase B1 (AKT1) are critical targets. GO enrichment analysis found that biological process (BP) most likely related to cell response to lipids, hormone response, and cell response to nitrogen compounds; Cell components (CC) mainly involved membrane rafts, membrane microregions, pits, and plasma membrane rafts. Molecular functions (MF) mainly involve DNA binding transcription factor binding, transcription factor binding, RNA polymerase Ⅱ specific DNA binding transcription factor binding, etc. KEGG pathway analysis suggested that P. notoginseng was mainly involved in advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), TNF, and MAPK. Conclusions:P. notoginseng mainly regulates disease targets such as TP53, MAPK1, JUN, TNF, IL6, and AKT1 in AGE-RAGE, PI3K/AKT, HIF-1, TNF, MAPK, and other signaling pathways, and regulates enzyme activity to treat platelet aggregation.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the performance of the automated digital cell morphology instrument in detecting platelet (PLT) clumps.Methods:A total of 4271 blood samples whose PLT reached the reviewing rules of thrombocytopenia were selected from inpatients having blood analysis in Xijing Hospital from January 1 st to June 30 th, 2019, including 2 200 males and 2 071 females,with a median age of (35±7.03) years old. The smears for these cases were made, stained by Wright-Giemsa, and examined to capture PLT clumps by digital cell morphology system and manual microscope separately. The digital cell analysis system (hereinafter referred to as the instrument method) as an evaluation method and the microscope method as a reference method were used to calculate the positive rate of platelet clump detection and evaluate the comparison of two methods and bias assessments. The chi-square test was used to compare counting data rates. Results:Among 4, 271 samples reaching the reviewing rule of thrombocytopenia, 128 cases with platelet clumps were detected by manual microscope(initial) with a positive detection rate of 96.24%, and a total 133 of cases with PLT clumps were detected by microscope (initial+reconfirmation) with a positive detection rate of 100 %. Meanwhile, 129 cases with platelet clumps were detected by instrument method with a positive detection rate of 96.9%. There was no significant difference in terms of positive rate of PLT clumps detection between the instrumental method and the microscope method (initial) ( χ2 =0.115, P=0.73); the positive rate of clumps detection by the instrumental method was lower than microscope method (initial+reconfirmation), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 =4.061, P=0.04). For instrument method, the positive rate of PLT clumps detection by simultaneous observation of RBC analysis interface+PLT aggregation interface+WBC analysis interface was higher than only observation of PLT aggregation interface, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 =5.090, P=0.02). The average error of the deviation of PLT counting results before and after correction of the cases with PLT plumps missed by instrument method was significantly higher than microscope method (initial), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 =56.26, P<0.001). Conclusion:The automated digital cell morphology system has a good consistency with manual microscope(initial) in terms of the sensitivity of platelet clumps detection and can be used as a supplementary method for detecting platelet aggregation.

ABSTRACT
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from dysregulated host responses to infections.Platelet-related indicators are closely related to the prognosis of sepsis,including platelet(PLT)count,mean plate-let volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW)and platelet aggregation rate(PAR),which can serve as im-portant evaluation indicators for the occurrence and development of sepsis.This paper elaborates the value of plate-let-related indicators in evaluating the prognosis of patients with sepsis,aiming to help clinicians understand the clinical value of monitoring platelet-related indicators in sepsis patients and accurately identify high-risk sepsis pa-tients.
ABSTRACT
Long-term antiplatelet therapy is critical for children with Kawasaki disease.Commonly used antiplatelet drugs have their own advantages and adverse reactions, so they need to be chosen carefully.Some studies have shown that drug resistance may occur in children with Kawasaki disease during antiplatelet therapy, which increases the risk of cardiovascular adverse events, and platelet aggregation function needs to be monitored during medication.This paper reviews the antiplatelet drugs in common use, the drug resistance of antiplatelet drugs and the detection methods of platelet aggregation function in Kawasaki disease, which is helpful to improve the safety of drugs use and reduce the incidence of complications in children.
