SummaryThe generation of trace amounts of thrombin at artificial surfaces in contact with blood is likely to be a contributing factor in thrombosis on biomaterials. Using an in vitro capillary perfusion system, platelet accumulation on glass surfaces, uncoated or precoated with purified bovine collagen or human plasma proteins, was determined in the presence or absence of preadsorbed purified human thrombin. Static adsorption for 15 min at 22° C from solutions of thrombin 100 NIH units (33 μg)/ml gave surface concentrations in the range 0.019-0.101 μg/cm2. Protein coated capillaries, thrombin treated or untreated, were perfused for 2 min at 37° C with suspensions of washed 111In-labeled human platelets in Tyrode's-albumin buffer containing 40% washed red blood cells, under conditions of controlled, non pulsatile laminar flow (50 s−1 or 2,000 s−1). Platelet accumulation was increased in the presence of surface adsorbed thrombin on uncoated and albumin or fibrinogen coated glass but little affected on fibronectin or collagen coated glass. On von Willebrand factor (vWF) coated glass, thrombin enhancement was observed only at high shear forces. In experiments using antibodies against human platelet α-granule proteins, thrombin stimulated platelet deposition in uncoated glass capillaries was inhibited at 2,000 s−1 by anti-vWF and to a lesser extent by anti-fibrinogen but not by antithrombospondin antibodies.

The aging process is, in part, characterized by thinning lips, This is antithetical to our culture, which idolizes youth and the plump, full lips associated with youthfulness. Because the appearance of aging lips is not desirable, and many times aging face techniques accentuate the thinning, techniques have been developed to augment aging oral labia. Substances such as fat tissue and bovine collagen are among the choices for use in injectable augmentation. Use of these products will temporarily fill thinning, wrinkled lips, as well as other perioral structures. The use of Gore-Tex provides more permanent enhancement, but is limited as to results. Vermilion border cheiloplasty is a permanent surgical procedure to augment labial tissue that can create lips of virtually any size or shape, as well as excise perioral rhytids. Herein we review 65 lip-lifts (cheiloplasty), with or without corner lifts, where the incision extends beyond commissure. These procedures may be performed together or independently on both the upper and lower labia. However, poor scar formation, asymmetries, and prolonged healing make this a procedure for those who fail lesser techniques.
