This paper describes visualization of thrombus formation process on orifice flows by laser sheet beam. The aim is to investigate the effects of shear stress or shear rate on the thrombus formation or thrombus formation rate. In this investigation, by visualization of the thrombus formation in blood plasma flow, it was found that the high shear rate region of the flow has large effects of the thrombus formation.

This paper describes visualization of thrombus formation process on orifice flows by laser sheet beam and normal illumination. The aim is to investigate the effects of shear stress or shear rate on the thrombus formation or thrombus formation rate. It was found that the white thrombus formation rate is proportional to square root of shear rate, and the white thrombus is dominant when the shear rate is more than 450 (1/s).

This paper describes visualization of thrombus formation process on orifice flows by laser sheet beam. The aim is to investigate the effects of high shear stress or shear rate on the thrombus formation or thrombus formation rate. In addition, the experimental results are compared with the CFD results. As a result, it was found that the high shear rate region of the flow has large effects of the thrombus formation and prediction method based on CFD can be used.

This paper describes visualization of thrombus formation process on orifice flows and Couette flows by normal illumination. The aim is to investigate the effects of shear stress or shear rate on the thrombus formation or thrombus formation rate. It was found that (1) effect of flow types on the thrombus ratio was obtained and (2) quantitative evaluation of thrombus formation rate by our proposed CFD based prediction method was established for various flows.

AbstractFibrin is actively involved in platelet reactions essential for thrombus growth, in which von Willebrand factor (VWF) might be an important mediator. The aim of this study was to localize VWF domains that bind to fibrin and to determine their relevance in platelet adhesion. VWF binds specifically to fibrin with an apparent Kd of 2.2 μg/mL. Competition in the presence of 2 complementary fragments, SpIII (residues 1-1365) and SpII (residues 1366-2050), indicated that the high affinity binding site for fibrin is located in the C-terminal part, thus distinct from the A domains. Comparison of 2 deleted rVWF (ΔD4B-rVWF, ΔC1C2-rVWF) suggested that the C1C2 domains contained a fibrin binding site. This site is distinct from RGD, as shown by binding of D1746G-rVWF to fibrin. Perfusion studies at high shear rate demonstrated that C1C2 domains were required for optimal platelet adhesion to fibrin. With the use of a VWF-deficient mouse model, it was found that plasma VWF is critical for platelet tethering and adhesion to fibrin. These results suggest a dual role of fibrin-bound VWF in thrombus formation: first, fibrin-bound VWF is critical in the recruitment of platelets by way of glycoprotein (GP) Ib, and, second, it contributes to stationary platelet adhesion by way of binding to activated αIIbβ3.
