Aggregation Principle

SummaryThe minimal concentration of the platelet aggregation principle (Platelet Aggregoserpen- tin, PAS) necessary to induce platelet aggregation was 10 ng/ml, about one-hundredth of that of the crude venom. PAS induced the release of platelet factors 3 and 4 from platelets, but the released platelet factor 3 was easily inactivated by the anti-phospholipid effect of PAS. Pretreatment of platelets with neuraminidase potentiated PAS-induced platelet aggregation. PAS-induced platelet aggregation was independent on released ADP; it could occur in the ADP-removing systems, such as apyrase or a combination of phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase. However, PAS-induced platelet aggregation could be inhibited by adenine nucleotides and adenosine.PAS-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited by some anti-inflammatory agents, antimalarial drugs, local anesthetics, antihistamine and smooth muscle relaxants. After deaggregation of PAS-treated platelets, thrombin and sodium arachidonate could further induce platelet aggregation, but ADP and second dose of PAS could not. It is concluded that PAS-induced platelet aggregation is due to prostaglandin synthesis. Recent literatures on the mechanism of platelet aggregation were surveyed and the actions of PAS were discussed.

The Tonsillectomy in children or adults is an intervention commonly encountered in the ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) and Head and Neck surgeon practice. The current tendency is to perform this type of surgery in major ambulatory surgery centers. Two objectives are thus pursued: first of all, the increase of the patient quality of life through the reintegration into the family as quickly as possible and secondly, the expenses associated with continuous hospitalization are reduced. Any tertiary (multidisciplinary) sleep center must ensure the complete diagnosis and treatment (including surgery) of sleep respiratory disorders. Under these conditions the selection of patients and especially the implementation of the specific protocols in order to control the postoperative complications it becomes essential. The present paper describes our experience of tonsillectomy as treatment for selected patients with chronic rhonchopathy (snoring) and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. It was presented the impact of antibiotics protocols in reducing the main morbid outcomes following tonsillectomy, in our day surgery center. The obtained results can also be a prerequisite for the integrative approach of the patients with sleep apnoea who were recommended surgical treatment. Considering the wide range of therapeutic modalities used in sleep apnoea, each with its specific advantages and disadvantages, more extensive and multicenter studies are needed.
