Article Abstract
Objective: Platelets abundantly express the membrane receptor CD36 and store its ligand thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) in the α-granules. We investigated whether released TSP1 can support platelet adhesion and thrombus formation via interaction with CD36.
Approach And Results: Mouse platelets deficient in CD36 showed reduced adhesion to TSP1 and subsequent phosphatidylserine expression. Deficiency in either CD36 or TSP1 resulted in markedly increased dissolution of thrombi formed on collagen, although thrombus buildup was unchanged. In mesenteric vessels in vivo, deficiency in CD36 prolonged the time to occlusion and enhanced embolization, which was in agreement with earlier observations in TSP1-deficient mice. Thrombi formed using wild-type blood stained positively for secreted TSP1. Releasate from wild-type but not from TSP1-deficient platelets enhanced platelet activation, phosphatidylserine expression, and thrombus formation on collagen. The enhancement was dependent on CD36 because it was without effect on thrombus formation by CD36-deficient platelets.
Conclusions: These results demonstrate an anchoring role of platelet-released TSP1 via CD36 in platelet adhesion and collagen-dependent thrombus stabilization. Thus, the TSP1-CD36 tandem is another platelet ligand-receptor axis contributing to the maintenance of a stable thrombus.

Immediate complications and risk factors following radial arterial catheterisation in paediatric patients at a tertiary centre.
Eur J Anaesthesiol
September 2025
From the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea (J-HL, J-BP, S-HJ, Y-EJ, E-HK, J-TK, H-SK).
Background: Arterial catheterisation is a critical procedure in paediatric patients undergoing surgery; however, it poses certain risks. Complications such as thrombus formation, arterial stenosis and haematoma may occur, yet their true incidence and contributing factors remain incompletely understood.
Objective: To assess the incidence of complications and identify associated risk factors following radial arterial catheterisation in paediatric patients.
Thrombotic complications after aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk stent-graft: A 10-year United Kingdom institutional experience.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Objective: Postoperative intraluminal thrombosis after frozen elephant trunk replacement has been reported to occur with a frequency of 6% to 17% and is associated with poor outcomes. The purpose of this institutional review is to analyze thrombosis rate, predisposing patient and operative factors, and assess different anticoagulation regimens.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 174 patients operated on over 10 years.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, such as Empagliflozin, are antidiabetic drugs that reduce glucose levels and have emerged as a promising therapy for patients with heart failure (HF), although the exact molecular mechanisms underlying their cardioprotective effects remain to be fully elucidated. The EmDia study, a randomized, double-blind trial conducted at the University Medical Center of Mainz, has confirmed the beneficial effects of Empagliflozin in HF patients after both one and twelve weeks of treatment. In this work, we aimed to assess whether changes in lipid profiles driven by Empagliflozin use in HF patients in the EmDia trial could assist in gaining a better understanding of its cardioprotective mechanisms.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, genetic characteristics, and differential diagnosis of glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential. Two cases of glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential were collected at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from 2013 and 2023. Immunohistochemistry and next generation sequencing (DNA-seq) were used to detect the related protein and gene variation.

Purpose: To assess the utility of inflammatory marker levels in defining orbital cellulitis (OC) severity.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at 2 tertiary care centers using a medical record search of billing codes from January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2023. Patients were categorized into 2 cohorts-uncomplicated OC and OC with complication [subperiosteal abscess (SPA), orbital abscess (OA), or cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST)].
