-Human blood was withdrawn, anticoagulated with citrate, and centrifuged, yielding platelet rich plasma (PRP). Recalcification times (i.e. the time taken to form a clot following the addition of sufficient calcium ions) were measured with a semiautomatic device. There were no changes in the recalcification time of PRP sample immediately following exposure to continuous wave 1 MHz ultrasound at ...

The conventional plasma recalcification test is improved by incubation of test plasma with Celite suspended in distilled water. This effectively activates factor XII and releases platelet factor 3, thereby markedly shortening the clotting time. The modified plasma recalcification test has several advantages that contribute to its usefulness as a general screening test for coagulation abnormalit...

( plasma recalcification time after addition of red blood cells plasma recalcification time of pooled normal plasma ) x0 The greater the percentage the greater the procoagulant activity. The plasma recalcification time was significantly decreased in the washed, packed red blood cells of patients with falciparum malaria (mean (SD) decrease 44-67 (11-97)",,; range 27-780,; n=37) compared with tha...

Bypass agents are the common treatment for haemophilia patients who develop inhibitory antibodies. Laboratory assessment of the efficacy of bypassing agent therapy is a challenge. In the present work we modified the conditions triggering thrombin generation (TG) assay in order to find the most sensitive assay for detection of rFVIIa and its analogue NN1731 in haemophilic plasma. TG was measured...

The clearing of lipid emulsions by postheparin plasma from rabbits or human beings was accompanied regularly by a sharp reduction in the recalcification time of the plasma. No change in blood coagulation took place when the activity of lipoprotein lipase, the clearing enzyme, was inhibited by means of heat or the action of a surface-active agent. In control studies, the recalcification time of ...

artemisinin extracted from artemisia annua l. is the best medicine with the highest efficiency, the most effective and the lowest toxicity in treating ague nowadays. at present, most studies focus on artemisinin and its derivatives, while the study and report about the other active components are rare. this paper purposed to further discover new indication of artemisia annua l. connecting with ...

BACKGROUND Palliative irradiation of osteolytic lesions is a considerable component in the treatment for patients with multiple myeloma. In this study, we analyzed the efficacy of irradiation in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 153 patients with multiple myeloma who were admitted to our department between 1989 and 2013. According to the staging system of Durie ...

ウ蝕の保存治療に際 して軟化象牙質をどのよう に取 りあっかうかは極めて重要な問題である。従 来軟化象牙質は罹患 もしくは感染 した象牙質であ るとの考えに基づいて,す べて除去することが一 般的な臨床指針 とされていた1)『4)。しかし,ウ蝕が 深部 に達している場合,軟 化象牙質 を完全 に取 り 除こうとすると,露 髄の危険を生ずるので,む し ろ若干の軟化象牙質を残 しても露髄を避 ける方が 臨床的結果がよいのではないかとい う考 え方が生 じてきた。実際の臨床においてもすでにこの考え 方に基づいた治療が行われ始めてお り,歯 髄に何 ら炎症々状がない と判断された場合に,酸 化亜鉛 ユージノールセメン トや水酸化カルシウムなどで 間接覆髄を行って,さ らに充填を施す とい う治療 法が世界の各地で行われ,臨 床的には好成績が報 告 されている5)-13)。 このような治療を...
