Platelet adsorptive properties and platelet extracts in thromboplastin generation.

Mean Platelet Volume and Immature Platelet Fraction in Autoimmune Disorders

Mean platelet volume (MPV), measured using automated blood analysers, has been appraised as a potential biomarker in cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. The test, a useful tool in differentiation of thrombocytopenic states, has now been carried out for autoimmune disorders, but data are yet scarce. Controversial results have been obtained in systemic and organ-specific autoim...

The immature platelet fraction (IPF) in neonates

Young (immature) platelets containing residual RNA, so-called reticulated thrombocytes, appear in the peripheral blood after the release from bone marrow. It has been shown that the count of the reticulated platelet correlates with the megakaryocyte mass. As of late, the immature platelet fraction (IPF) may be reliably quantified with the fully automated blood analyzer Sysmex XE-2100. IPF may b...

Efficacy of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Activated By Thromboplastin-D on the Repair and Regeneration of Wounds in Dogs

Objective- To evaluate the effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on wound healing in dogs. Design- Experimental in-vivo study. Animals- 5 mix-breed male adult dogs. Procedures- Under general anesthesia, six 2 × 2-cm, full-thickness skin wounds were created on the back of dogs symmetrically. In each dog, three right side wounds were treated topically with 1.5 ml PRP jelly, whereas lef...

Lipoid Thromboplastin and Trypsin *

Trypsin is known to activate certain proenzymes, including trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen.7 It also activates prothrombin." In the case of prothrombin activation, platelets have been shown to complement the effect of trypsin. Small quantities of trypsin and platelets together exert a much greater effect than the sum of their separate effects.9 Lipoid thromboplastin has been found to complemen...
