High-speed platelet adhesion under conditions of rapid flow.
The recognition of exposed collagen by circulating platelets is an initial step in the formation of the hemostatic plug or a thrombus after vascular injury. Theoretical calculations of the speed of platelet function required for effective hemostasis have suggested very short reaction times. However, it is not known how fast platelets can adhere to collagen under arterial flow conditions or whic...
متن کاملPlatelet adhesion to collagen type IV under flow conditions.
Collagen type IV is a sheet-forming collagen and a major constituent of the vessel wall. To find out which conditions are important for platelet adhesion to collagen type IV, we performed perfusion studies with anticoagulated blood in parallel plate perfusion chambers. The role of divalent cations was investigated by using plasmas with variable concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. When Mg2+ co...
متن کاملEndothelial C-reactive protein increases platelet adhesion under flow conditions.
While data regarding the pathogenetic role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in atherothrombosis are accumulating, it is still controversial whether local CRP secretion is of any pathobiological significance. The present study examined whether endothelial-derived CRP modulates autocrine prothrombotic activity. Endothelial cells were isolated from hearts of mice transgenic to human CRP and grown in pr...
متن کاملPlatelet shape changes and adhesion under high shear flow.
Recent studies have revealed that the platelet adhesive process under flow is tightly regulated by multiple ligand-receptor interactions. However, platelet morphological changes during this process, particularly its physiological relevance, remain unknown under blood flow conditions. Using epifluorescence and scanning electron microscopy, we evaluated the real-time changes in platelet morpholog...
متن کاملRapid quantitation of high-speed flow jets.
Flow jets containing velocities up to 5-7 m/s are common in patients with congenital defects and patients with valvular disease (stenosis and regurgitation). The quantitation of peak velocity and flow volume in these jets is clinically significant but requires specialized imaging sequences. Conventional 2DFT phase contrast sequences require lengthy acquisitions on the order of several minutes. ...
