Platelet concentrates (PCs) intended for transfusion contain bioactive molecules that can be considered Biological Response Modifiers (BRMs), mainly originating from plasma regardless of the preparation process. During storage, NGAL and GDF-15 levels increase in single donor apheresis platelet concentrates (SDA-PC), whereas in buffy coat platelet concentrates (BC-PC), the levels of MIP1α, MCP-3, and HSAA increase, and GDF-15 levels decrease. These molecules, primarily released by leukocytes, may contribute to adverse reactions (ARs) following a PC transfusion. Notably, in SDA-PC or BC-PC transfusions that result in ARs, the levels of NGAL, HSAA, and GDF-15 are significantly elevated, while the levels of MDC and CX3CL1 are significantly reduced compared to transfusions without ARs. These biomarkers could potentially serve as predictors for PCs-induced ARs.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive capacity of placenta growth factor (PlGF) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels in the serum of pregnant women during early pregnancy (11-13 weeks) for fetal growth restriction (FGR).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 1602 pregnant women who gave birth at The Second Nanning People's Hospital between March 2018 and September 2019. Serum concentrations of PlGF and PAPP-A were measured during early pregnancy for all participants.

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.

In the current in vitro experiment, we fabricated and characterized placenta/platelet-rich plasma (PL/Pt) composite scaffolds and evaluated their effect on differentiating adipose stem cells (ASCs) into insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in vitro. The human placenta (PL) was decellularized (dPL), characterized, and digested in pepsin. PRP was extracted using a two-step centrifugation process and then freeze-dried.

Background: Massive hemorrhage is a leading cause of mortality among trauma patients. To date, whole blood (WB) remains the preferred resuscitation fluid on the battlefield and in pre-hospital emergency care. However, components of WB inevitably undergo storage-related damage, and differences in the duration of storage may lead to varying clinical outcomes after transfusion.

Background: Caplacizumab, a humanized anti-von Willebrand Factor (VWF) Nanobody®, is employed for immune-mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (iTTP) treatment. Its binding to the VWF A1 domain sterically inhibits VWF interaction with platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb), counteracting microthrombosis and accelerating the normalization of the platelet count. In caplacizumab-treated iTTP patients with bleeding episodes, measuring platelet-dependent VWF activity (VWF activity) is crucial for monitoring treatment with VWF concentrates.
