Article Abstract
Objective: The assessment of platelet functions is necessary to prevent both thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications under dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Using the VerifyNow (Accumetrics, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) assay, this study aimed to reveal time-dependent changes in platelet functions after carotid artery stenting (CAS).
Methods: We enrolled retrospectively 43 patients who underwent CAS under DAPT. Aspirin reaction unit (ARU) and P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) values were determined on the day before and on days 1, 3, and 7 after the procedure. Multiple comparison tests (MCTs) were performed among ARU and PRU measurement points, and the proportions of hypo- and hyper-responses were compared.
Results: The median ARU values were 408 (interquartile range: 392-497) before CAS and 418 (405-470) on day 1, 405 (393.0-460.5) on day 3, and 402 (388.5-477.5) on day 7 (not significant in MCTs). The percentages of hypo-responses were 16.3%, 7.0%, 2.3%, and 7.0%, respectively (p = 0.11). The significantly different median PRU values were 173 (116.5-209.5), 233 (166.5-273.5), 139 (70.5-205.5), and 51 (9.0-79.5), respectively. The median PRU was before the procedure within the therapeutic range but exceeded the upper cutoff on day 1 and was below the lower cutoff on day 7. The percentages of hypo-responses were 14.0%, 51.2%, 18.6%, and 11.6%, respectively (p <0.001) and the percentages of hyper-responses were 9.3%, 2.3%, 23.3%, and 62.8%, respectively (p <0.001).
Conclusion: In the periprocedural CAS period, ARU values were stable, but PRU values showed time-dependent changes. PRU values were above the therapeutic range the day after CAS but decreased below this range on day 7.

Objective: Vitamin C has been linked to alterations in platelet count and aggregation behavior. Given recent findings suggesting an association between vitamin C and adverse outcomes in patients with septic shock, we aimed to investigate whether vitamin C influences mortality in septic patients through its impact on platelets.
Design: Post hoc analysis of the Lessening Organ Dysfunction With Vitamin C (LOVIT) randomized trial (clinicaltrials.

The vascular endothelium is responsible for regulating vascular tone, maintaining fluid homeo-stasis, and preventing platelet aggregation, exhibits regulatory properties in vasorelaxation and vasoconstriction - it produces, among others, nitric oxide and endothelin. The imbalance of vasoactive molecules leads to the loss of their function, known as endothelial dysfunction. Impaired endothelial function is observed in people with metabolic disorders, often preceding the onset of the disease by several years.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance to PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD4202461663). A comprehensive search was done in the following databases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar.
The inhibitory effect of antiplatelet drugs on spontaneous platelet aggregation on glass surfaces: an analysis based on microscopic three-dimensional topography.

In vitro assessment of the inhibitory effect of antiplatelet drugs on platelet aggregation is frequently employed to guide personalized antiplatelet therapy in clinical practice. However, existing methods for detecting platelet aggregation rely heavily on high concentrations of exogenous agonists, which may obscure part of the inhibitory effect of antiplatelet drugs and lead to an underestimation of their effects. This study validates a novel analytical strategy for evaluating the effects of antiplatelet drugs by quantifying the microscopic three-dimensional morphological parameters of platelet aggregates formed through spontaneous aggregation on a glass surface.

To compare the efficacy of using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) exosomes and injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF) on the submandibular salivary glands (SMGs) of aged albino rats in restoring salivary gland structure and function. A total of 40 healthy male albino rats were used, two for obtaining the BM-MSCs, 10 for i-PRF preparation and seven adult rats (6-8 months old) represented the control group (Group 1). The remaining 21 rats were aged (18-20 months old) and divided into three groups of seven rats each; (Group 2): received no treatment, (Group 3): each rat received a single intraglandular injection of BM-MSC exosomes (50 μg/kg/dose suspended in 0.
