Summary“Early” fibrinogen degradation products are more potent inhibitors of thrombin-induced clotting than “late” products and also interfere with the ability of thrombin to release serotonin from platelets. “Early” and “intermediate” FDP cause moderate inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate or connective tissue particles. Serotonin release by connective tissue particles is probably not inhibited by FDP.

SummaryHuman platelets in platelet rich plasma (PRP) incubated at 37° C with 0.3–2% halothane for 5–10 min lost the ability to aggregate with ADP, epinephrine and collagen.At the same time uptake and release of 14C-serotonin was inhibited. When halothane supply was removed, platelet functions rapidly returned to normal. However, after high concentrations of halothane, the inhibition of platelet aggregation was irreversible or only partially reversible.The results suggest that halothane anaesthesia produces a transient impairment of platelet function.

SummaryDexamethasone decreases the fibrinolytic activity in cultured medium of several cell types by an induction of PAI-1 synthesis. As a result of this enhanced PAI-1 synthesis a prothrombotic state is expected in patients treated with dexamethasone. However, such a prothrombotic state is not reported as a major adverse effect. We have studied the effects of dexamethasone (dose range: 0.1–3.0 mg/kg) on the fibrinolytic system of rats after a 5 day pretreatment period. It appeared that dexamethasone dose dependently decreased the fibrinolytic activity (a dose of 1 mg/kg showed a reduction of about 40%). This reduced fibrinolytic activity could be functionally translated into an increased thrombus size as measured with a venous thrombosis model: thrombus size was increased by 50% with 1 mg/kg dexamethasone. No effects could be measured on the coagulation system, but it appeared that ex-vivo measured platelet aggregation was dose dependently inhibited by dexamethasone treatment. This effect resulted in-vivo in prolonged obstruction times as measured with a modified aorta-loop model. These results indicate that the expected prothrombotic state due to a diminished fibrinolytic activity caused by dexamethasone is counterbalanced by an inhibition of platelet aggregation.

SummaryHuman placental cytosol inhibits platelet aggregation induced by high doses of collagen. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this anti-aggregating activity was caused only by the presence of various activities already described in the placenta (an ADP-consuming enzyme, a fatty acid cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor) or whether another factor was present.Heating the cytosol at 50° C for 6 min destroyed the inhibitor of collagen-induced aggregation. ADPase and the AA pathway inhibitors were not modified by this treatment. We therefore show the presence of an additional anti-aggregating factor: it is destroyed by heating at 50° C.We also tested for the presence of an inhibitor of AA release in the placental cytosol using three different methods (rabbit platelets in PRP, washed rabbit platelets, and NRK fibroblasts) but no inhibition could be evidenced.We conclude that this new anti-aggregating factor, which is probably a protein, acts neither through AA release inhibition nor AA cascade inhibition.

SummaryPlatelet-rich plasma was obtained 24 hr after the race ended from athletes who ran in the London marathon. The platelets were only marginally less sensitive to adrenaline than were those of non-runners using conventional aggregation tests. However, the runners’ platelets were much more sensitive to inhibition by prostacyclin, a prostaglandin synthesized by endothelial cells. It appeared that this effect was due to a greater activity in the platelets of the membrane-bound adenylate cyclase enzyme which generates intracellular cyclic AMP. Cyclic AMP production is known to be stimulated by prostacyclin and to cause the inhibition of platelet aggregation. The results indicate another possible protective effect of exercise against cardiovascular disease which is independent of the known changes in lipoprotein concentrations previously observed in athletes.

Background: There is a growing interest in the correlation between antioxidants and periodontal disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of oxidative stress and the impact of two antioxidants, curcumin and rutin, respectively, in the etiopathology of experimentally induced periodontitis in diabetic rats. Methods: Fifty Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into five groups and were induced with diabetes mellitus and periodontitis: (1) (CONTROL)—control group, (2) (DPP)—experimentally induced diabetes mellitus and periodontitis, (3) (DPC)—experimentally induced diabetes mellitus and periodontitis treated with curcumin (C), (4) (DPR)—experimentally induced diabetes mellitus and periodontitis treated with rutin (R) and (5) (DPCR)—experimentally induced diabetes mellitus and periodontitis treated with C and R. We evaluated malondialdehyde (MDA) as a biomarker of oxidative stress and reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), GSH/GSSG and catalase (CAT) as biomarkers of the antioxidant capacity in blood harvested from the animals we tested. The MDA levels and CAT activities were also evaluated in the gingival tissue. Results: The control group effect was statistically significantly different from any other groups, regardless of whether or not the treatment was applied. There was also a significant difference between the untreated group and the three treatment groups for variables MDA, GSH, GSSG, GSH/GSSG and CAT. There was no significant difference in the mean effect for the MDA, GSH, GSSG, GSH/GSSG and CAT variables in the treated groups of rats with curcumin, rutin and the combination of curcumin and rutin. Conclusions: The oral administration of curcumin and rutin, single or combined, could reduce the oxidative stress and enhance the antioxidant status in hyperglycemic periodontitis rats.
