ABSTRACTγ-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS) was grafted on stainless-steel and titanium substrates, and subsequently alginic acid layer was immobilized on them. Their surfaces were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurement. Blood compatibility of thus obtained substrates was evaluated in terms of both the number of the adhered platelets and blood clotting factors for plasma contacted with the substrates such as active partial thromboplastin time (PTT), prothrombin time (PT), and amount of fibrinogen (Fib). The steel and titanium substrates with alginic acid layer did not affect blood clotting factors. In vitro platelet adhesion assay indicated that those substrates adhered less number of platelets than non-treated substrates. Hence the alginic acid immobilization leads to blood compatible surfaces.

SummaryWheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and concanavalin A (Con-A) (also red kidney bean agglutinin, PHA) have been found to be inhibitors of plasma clotting in vitro. At 40 µg/ml and 250 µg/ml (4.4 µM and 10 µM in carbohydrate binding sites, final concentrations) respectively, WGA and Con-A are able to double the activated partial thromboplastin time of normal human control plasma. Their inhibitory effect is due to their capacity to interact with the carbohydrate portion of blood clotting factors. It is totally abolished in the presence of specific saccharides for WGA or Con-A and is attenuated in the presence of 4% (v/v, final concentration) of human erythrocytes. The action of WGA is mediated by its ability to interact with N-acetylneuraminic acid. When purified phospholipid vesicles plus kaolin are used as an activator instead of cephalidin, this effect persists to the same extent. These two lectins also prolong the plasma clotting time using Russell's viper venom plus purified phospholipid vesicles as an activator. Quick's time was also prolonged by WGA and Con-A but to a lesser extent in this case. WGA can interact directly with some purified blood clotting factors (IX, X and II) in a classical lectin-glycoprotein precipitin reaction. When assessed at individual factors level in whole plasma using clotting assays, direct inhibitions by WGA are only apparent.

Dextran 40 infused in doses from 1.2 to 1.5 g/kg body weight decreases the concentration of proteins in the plasma and reduces the total amount of circulating protein. Dextran 40 in vitro precipitates high-molecular weight proteins participating in blood clotting, such as factor VIII and fibrinogen and, if infused, decreases their plasma levels. Addition in vitro of Dextran 40 to blood with a high ESR reduces the value proportionally to the concentration of dextran in the blood sample: after infusion of Dextran 40 the ESR decreases by a mean value of 19.9% after infusion of 500 ml and by 36.2% after 1000 ml. No bleeding was noted with these infusions.

SummaryBlood clotting investigations have been executed in 25 patients who have undergone open heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation. A description of alterations in the activity of blood clotting factors, the fibrinolytic system, prothrombin consumption and platelets during several phases of the operation is given.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) films were exposed under argon plasma glow discharge and induced polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in order to introduce carboxylic acid group onto PET (PET-AA) assisting by ultroviolet radiation. Hirudin-immobilized PETs were prepared by the grafting of PET-AA, followed by chemical reaction with hirudin. The surface structure of the treated PET is determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The wettability and surface free energy, interface free energy of the films is investigated by contact angle measurement. Platelet adhesion evaluatiion is conducted to examine the blood compatibility in vitro. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy reveal that the amounts of adhered, aggregated and morphologically changed platelets are reduced on hirudin-immobilized PET films.

In this study, an electrochemical anodizing method was applied as surface modification of the 316L biomedical stainless steel (BSS). The surface properties, microstructural characteristics, and biocompatibility responses of the anodized 316L BSS specimens were elucidated through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, and in vitro cell culture assay. Analytical results revealed that the oxide layer of dichromium trioxide (Cr2O3) was formed on the modified 316L BSS specimens after the different anodization modifications. Moreover, a dual porous (micro/nanoporous) topography can also be discovered on the surface of the modified 316L BSS specimens. The microstructure of the anodized oxide layer was composed of amorphous austenite phase and nano-Cr2O3. Furthermore, in vitro cell culture assay also demonstrated that the osteoblast-like cells (MG-63) on the anodized 316L BSS specimens were completely adhered and covered as compared with the unmodified 316L BSS specimen. As a result, the anodized 316L BSS with a dual porous (micro/nanoporous) oxide layer has great potential to induce cell adhesion and promote bone formation.
