Feasibility of improving platelet-rich plasma therapy by using chitosan with high platelet activation ability.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Hattori H, Ishihara M.
PMID: 28450960
Exp Ther Med. 2017 Mar;13(3):1176-1180. doi: 10.3892/etm.2017.4041. Epub 2017 Jan 13.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma containing a high number of platelets that release growth factors for wound healing and tissue regeneration. In the present study, the feasibility of improving PRP therapy by using chitosan that exhibits high platelet...

Anti-Platelet Factor 4/Heparin Antibody Plays a Significant Role in Progression of Arterial Stiffness among Hemodialysis Patients.

Acta Cardiologica Sinica

Kuo C, Tsai CC, Chen CA, Tsai YF, Chen YH.
PMID: 28344423
Acta Cardiol Sin. 2017 Mar;33(2):188-194. doi: 10.6515/acs20160818b.

BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is a determinant of cardiovascular disease in end stage renal disease. Hemodialysis patients may develop anti-platelet factor 4/heparin antibody (PF4-H Ab) because of heparin treatment in dialysis. We tested whether PF4-H Ab was associated with progression...

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia in critically ill: Diagnostic dilemmas and management conundrums.

World journal of critical care medicine

Gupta S, Tiruvoipati R, Green C, Botha J, Tran H.
PMID: 26261772
World J Crit Care Med. 2015 Aug 04;4(3):202-12. doi: 10.5492/wjccm.v4.i3.202. eCollection 2015 Aug 04.

Thrombocytopenia is often noted in critically ill patients. While there are many reasons for thrombocytopenia, the use of heparin and its derivatives is increasingly noted to be associated with thrombocytopenia. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia syndrome (HITS) is a distinct entity...

Incidence of anti-heparin/platelet factor 4 antibodies and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in medical patients.

Turkish journal of haematology : official journal of Turkish Society of Haematology

Demir M, Tekgündüz E, Edis M, Duran E, Kürüm T, Yiğitbaşı Ö, Yüksel M.
PMID: 27265628
Turk J Haematol. 2009 Dec 05;26(4):171-5.

OBJECTIVE: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life threatening complication of heparin therapy, causing thrombosis. The aim of our study was to find out the frequencies of HIT antibody seroconversion and clinical HIT in Turkish medical patients on different forms...

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia following coronary artery bypass grafting: a diagnostic dilemma.

Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives

Khanal R, Karmacharya P, Forman DA.
PMID: 26486110
J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect. 2015 Oct 19;5(5):28745. doi: 10.3402/jchimp.v5.28745. eCollection 2015.

The diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a challenge in post-cardiac surgery patients because of the high incidence of non-immune thrombocytopenia and heparin-platelet factor 4 antibodies in these groups. We present a case of HIT in a post coronary...

Components in Plasma-Derived Factor VIII, But Not in Recombinant Factor VIII Downregulate Anti-Inflammatory Surface Marker CD163 in Human Macrophages through Release of CXCL4 (Platelet Factor 4).

Bertling A, Brodde MF, Visser M, Treffon J, Fennen M, Fender AC, Kelsch R, Kehrel BE.
PMID: 29070980
Transfus Med Hemother. 2017 Sep;44(5):351-357. doi: 10.1159/000472157. Epub 2017 Aug 11.

BACKGROUND: Hemarthrosis, or bleeding into the joints, is a hallmark of hemophilia. Heme triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and destruction of cartilage and bone. The haptoglobin-CD163-heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway circumvents heme toxicity through enzymatic degradation of heme and transcription of...

Hemostasis and Thrombosis: Clinical Usefulness of Combined use of Platelet Aggregation Test and Anti PF4-H. Antibodies Elisa test for the Diagnosis of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia.

Hematology (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Rugeri L, Bauters A, Trillot N, Susen S, Decoen C, Watel A, Jude B.
PMID: 11399578
Hematology. 1999;4(4):367-372. doi: 10.1080/10245332.1999.11746461.

Background. Heparin is the most commonly used drug in patients requiring therapeutic anticoagulation. But the use of heparin has serious side effects such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). The diagnosis of HIT is often difficult. This study was designed to...

[Two cases of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia diagnosed by particle gel immunoassay.].

The Korean journal of laboratory medicine

PMID: 18156747
Korean J Lab Med. 2006 Oct;26(5):334-7. doi: 10.3343/kjlm.2006.26.5.334.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication of heparin therapy. It represents initially as thrombocytopenia and is associated with venous or arterial thrombosis. It has been reported that platelet factor 4/heparin complex antibody plays an important role in the...

Fondaparinux sodium in the prophylaxis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Expert review of pharmacoeconomics & outcomes research

Wade WE, Spruill WJ.
PMID: 20528310
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res. 2007 Jun;7(3):227-37. doi: 10.1586/14737167.7.3.227.

Fondaparinux sodium is the first in a new class of anticoagulants that selectively inhibits Factor Xa. It produces a predictable pharmacologic response, obviating the need for coagulation monitoring. Additionally, this agent does not bind to platelet Factor 4, thereby...

Molecular biology studies with primary megakaryocytes.

Methods in molecular medicine

Shou Y, Poncz M.
PMID: 21341010
Methods Mol Med. 1999;31:347-54. doi: 10.1385/1-59259-248-1:347.

Megakaryocytes are rare hematopoietic cells comprising only about 0.02-0.05% of the bone marrow nucleated cell population. Because of the relative infrequency of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow and their fragility in vitro, studies to characterize expression of platelet-specific genes...
