The photochemical aminomethyltrimethyl psoralen (AMT), in conjunction with UV A light (UVA), has been shown to inactivate human immunodeficiency virus-1 and model viruses in platelet suspensions under conditions that have only a minimal effect on in vitro platelet properties. A rabbit ear bleeding
BACKGROUND
As a first step toward testing the efficacy of stored platelets or platelet substitutes in vivo, a kidney injury model was developed to assess the hemostatic properties of human platelets in normal and thrombocytopenic rabbits.
METHODS
New Zealand white rabbits were made thrombocytopenic
BACKGROUND
In the event of hemorrhage and blood loss, platelets play a vital role in the coagulation process. However, there are currently no acceptable protocols for long-term storage of platelets. As a first step toward testing the efficacy of stored platelets or platelet substitutes in vivo, a
To bridge the gap between in vitro function and clinical efficacy of platelet (PLT) transfusion products, reliable in vivo PLT functional assays for hemostasis and survival in animal models are required. However, there are no standardized methods for assessing the in vivo quality of transfused human
Uptake of omega (omega)-3 fatty acids can influence membrane stability and cell mobility. We investigated the effects of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids on the hemostatic efficacy of human platelets using an in vivo rabbit bleeding model. In vitro assays such as platelet aggregation, vWF bead-mediated
The consumption of alcohol is known to have both positive and negative effects on the functioning of the cardiovascular system in general, and on platelet function in particular. Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are non-oxidative metabolite of ethanol that may mediate the ethanol effect on platelet
