Von Willebrand’S Disease

SummaryWe have investigated the effects of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) infusion on platelet count and bleeding time in 4 patients with type IIB von Willebrand’s disease (vWd). Three of four patients showed a normalization of the bleeding time within 1 h after the infusion, while bleeding time was not modified in the fourth. In accordance with the literature, thrombocytopenia was observed after DDAVP infusion, but this thrombocytopenia was due to the anticoagulants used for blood collection. In two patients (F. I., G. F.) no thrombocytopenia was observed when platelets were counted by fingerstick method but there was a 20% platelet decrease in blood samples collected in sodium citrate and a 50% decrease in samples collected in EDTA. Dramatic falls in platelet counts (70–95%) were observed in the additional two patients (C. A., D.Z.) after DDAVP infusion, when both sodium citrate or EDTA were used as anticoagulants. In the latter two patients there was also a 50% decrease in platelet count when the fingerstick method was used. The decrease in the patient’s platelet count in EDTA samples after DDAVP infusion could be prevented, in part, by the previous additions of an anti GPIb monoclonal antibody and an anti GPIIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody.Thus, the thrombocytopenia observed in the four IIB vWd patients studied after DDAVP infusion seems to be, at least partially, a pseudothrombocytopenia depending on the calcium concentration in the blood samples and the availability of GPIb and GPIIb-IIIa receptors. These findings and the normalization of the bleeding time observed in three of the four patients has led us to reconsider the possible use of DDAVP in the treatment of our IIB vWd patients.

Factor X

SummaryHuman factor X was purified by several different procedures yielding products which had varying amounts of factor VII and factor IX. Treatment with CHC13 during the fractionation of the factor X removed 95% of the factor VII and factor IX activity and the resulting factor X activated more slowly when incubated in 25% sodium citrate. Removal of residual factor VII by DEAE cellulose chromatography yielded a factor X which activated still more slowly and less completely. When the factor VII, removed by chromatography, was added to the chromatographed factor X, the ability to be activated in 25% sodium citrate was restored. Confirmatory evidence for the role of factor VII in this reaction was the inhibition of the conversion of the factor X by both DFP and SBTI.

SummaryAn in vitro system is described in which adhesion of blood platelets to washed and tannic acid-treated red cells was assayed quantitatively by microscopic observation. ADP, epinephrine and TAME produced a reversible increase in platelet adhesiveness which was antagonized by AMP. With Evans blue, polyanetholsulfonate, phthalanilide NSC 38280, thrombin and heparin at concentrations above 1-4 u/ml the increase was irreversible. The ADP-induced increase in adhesiveness was inhibited by sodium citrate, EDTA, AMP, ATP and N-ethylmaleimide. EDTA, AMP and the SH-blocker N-ethylmaleimide also reduced spontaneous platelet adhesion to red cells. No significant effects were observed with adenosine, phenprocoumon, 5-HT, phthalanilide NSC 57155, various estrogens, progestogens and fatty acids, acetylsalicylic acid and similarly acting agents, hydroxylamine, glucose and KCN. The method may be useful for the screening of thrombogenic and antithrombotic properties of drugs.

Summary1. The presence of citrate in the normal fibrin enhanced the fibrinolytic activity of plasminogen activators, including trypsin. The effect of proteases (on normal or on heated fibrin, containing citrate) was not significantly influenced.2. The effect of plasminogen activators was also increased when excess of plasminogen was present in the normal fibrin plates.3. Fumaric acid and maleic acid belong to the polycarboxylic acids producing an enhancing effect.

SummaryThis is a comparative study of the methods described by H. P. Wright and O’Brien for determining the adhesiveness of thrombocytes. An attempt is made to characterize and statistically correlate both techniques. With the aid of a Coulter Counter for thrombocyte counts, a normal range is presented for human, rat, and rabbit blood. Anticoagulants used are sodium citrate and Heparin.The influence of Cocaine and the Serotonin antagonist Ro 3-0837 was studied on these same substrates, to determine a pharmacological interference with results of either Wright’s test or O’Brien’s. Both drugs are found to induce a statistically significant increase in the “thrombocyte count” as compared to the corresponding controls. These effects are not real but to be attributed to an increase in particle count due to thrombocyte fragmentation as a consequence of drug application. There is no evidence for the claim that these drugs decrease the adhesiveness of thrombocytes.Numerical results of both tests often show a high and statistically significant correlation, especially following the addition of Ro 3-0837. Such is not true of individual blood samples to which no drug has been added. Evidentally, both tests are not specific for the same characteristic of normal blood platelets. But, when Ro 3-0837 is added, the breakdown of unstable platelets is induced; and the corresponding increase in count of thrombocyte fragments is expressed by both tests in the same fashion.

Autoprothrombin C

SummarySuitable conditions were found for the generation of autoprothrombin C from purified prothrombin with the use of Russell’s viper venom or trypsin. DEAE chromatographed prothrombin is structurally altered and has never been found to yield autoprothrombin C and also did not yield it when Russell’s viper venom or trypsin were used. Autoprothrombin C is derived from prothrombin with tissue extract thromboplastin, but not in large amounts with the intrinsic clotting factors. With the latter thrombin and autoprothrombin III are the chief activation products. Autoprothrombin III concentrates were prepared from serum and upon activation with 25% sodium citrate solution or with Russell’s viper venom large amounts of autoprothrombin C were obtained, and this was of high specific activity. Theoretically trypsin is not a thrombolytic agent, but on the contrary should lead to intravascular clotting.

SummaryThe mechanism of collagen-induced sudden death in rabbits was studied by measuring blood pressure (BP), heart rate, ECG, the continuous platelet count and the plasma levels of thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and 6-keto prostaglandin Fia (6-keto PGF1α). Death was preceded by myocardial ischaemia and a sharp fall in BP which occurred before any fall in platelet count was observed. The calcium entry blockers (CEBs), verapamil, nifedipine and PY 108-068 protected the rabbits from sudden death without any significant effect on the decrease in the platelet count or increase in plasma TxB2 levels. 6-keto PGF1α could not be detected in any plasma samples. Indomethacin and tri-sodium citrate also protected the rabbits but significantly reduced the fall in platelet count and plasma TxB2. In vitro studies on isolated aortae indicated that verapamil non-specifically inhibited vasoconstriction induced by KC1, adrenaline and U46619 (a thromboxane agonist). It is concluded that CEBs physiologically antagonize the vasoconstricting actions of platelet-derived substances and that it is coronary vasoconstriction that is primarily the cause of death.

Gold nanoparticles are considered the newest drug carriers for different diseases. Therefore it is appropriate continuous optimization of their preparation. In this study, gold colloids with an average size of 1 - 26 nm were obtained by the reduction of tetrachloroauric acid with trisodium citrate. The nanomaterials were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering technique. In addition, zeta potential was measured for samples synthesized in order to determine the stability of the colloids. A Two-level Full Factorial design was chosen to determine the optimum set of process parameters (chloroauric acid concentration and sodium citrate concentration) and their effect on various gold nanoparticles characteristics (size and zeta potential). These effects were quantified using Design of Experiments (DoE) with 5 runs and 1 centerpoint. The selected objective and process model in this investigation are screening and interaction. Findings from this research show that to obtain particles larger than 35 nm, it is recommended to increase sodium citrate concentration, at low chloroauric acid values. These conditions will help to achieve smaller zeta potential, too.

Partition Behavior

We have reported that NH4NO3 (AN, 8 mM, pH 4.2), applied as simulated spray droplets, enhanced penetration of 14C-NAA through isolated leaf and fruit cuticles. One explanation for this response is that AN depresses NAA (pKa= 4.2) dissociation, increasing the nondissociated moiety, which penetrates more readily than the anion (NAA'). Direct measurement of AN (concn. 0-800 mM) effect on NAA (215 μM) dissociation as indexed by change in solution pH revealed no significant effect, with a pH change from 4.19 to 4.05. This change is not sufficient to account for the observed enhancement. When 14C-NAA, buffered (20 mM sodium citrate) at pH 3.2, 4.2, 5.2, 6.2, was partitioned against chloroform, there was a marked increase in NAA partitioning into chloroform as pH was decreased. AN (8 mM) did not alter this partition behavior, also indicating no effect on NAA dissociation. However, in cuticle penetration studies, using a finite dose system with 14C-NAA buffered at pH 3.2, 4.2, 5.2, 6.2, and in the presence and absence of 8 mM AN, there was no marked or consistent pH or AN (-70 to + 232 % of no AN control) effect on penetration as indexed by initial slope (4-12 h) or penetration after 120 h. The possible effects of AN and buffer on penetration of 14C-NAA from the droplet deposit will be discussed.
