Article Abstract

Platelets are among the most abundant cells in the body and play important roles in coagulation and immunity. Platelets are formed when hematopoietic stem cells proliferate and differentiate into megakaryocytes via the regulation of various cytokines. After the megakaryocytes mature in the bone marrow cavity, proplatelets are released into the blood circulation where they eventually remodel into mature platelets. Given that the production and functions of platelets involve the regulation of many factors-such as hematopoietic stem cells, the hematopoietic microenvironment, and cytokines-the causes and mechanisms of platelet-related diseases are diverse, often involving platelet production, clearance, and distribution. In this review, we examined the regulation of platelet production and summarized common disorders affecting platelet quantity, namely, thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis. In addition, we reviewed previous clinical studies and summarized the medication strategies commonly used for the treatment of different platelet disorders in different clinical scenarios.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by an invasive infection (SP-HUS) is a rare and severe disease that primarily affects children under two years of age. The pathophysiology of SP-HUS remains poorly understood, and treatment is largely supportive. Complement factor H (FH) is a key regulator of the alternative pathway of the complement system.

Obinutuzumab-induced severe acute thrombocytopenia: a case report and literature review.

Front Immunol

Department of Haematology, Mianyang Central Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Mianyang, China.

Obinutuzumab is a humanized type II anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that is widely used in B-cell lymphomas including follicular lymphoma (FL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Multiple clinical studies have shown that compared with rituximab combined with chemotherapy, obinutuzumab combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients, effectively reduce the risk of disease progression, and improve patient prognosis. The main adverse effects of obinutuzumab include infusion reactions, myelosuppression, infection, cardiotoxicity, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), etc.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of death, and clopidogrel resistance remains a major challenge in its treatment. This study aims to determine the impact of CYP2C19 genetic variants on clopidogrel resistance (CR) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in Vietnamese patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We carried out a descriptive cross-sectional study, supplemented by a prospective longitudinal follow-up, on 113 ACS patients undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stent implantation at the Department of Cardiology, Military Hospital 103, from January 2015 to May 2018.

Key Laboratory of Thrombosis and Hemostasis of National Health Commission, Jiangsu Institute of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China; Engineering Center of Hematological Disease of Ministry of Education, Cyrus Tang Hematology Center, Collaborative Innovation

Background: Megakaryocyte (MK) fragmentation into proplatelets (PPTs) and microparticles (MKMPs) is well established, yet the mechanisms underlying MKMP generation remain unclear.

Objectives: In order to investigate the role of integrin β3 and cytoskeletal dynamics during megakaryopoiesis and explore potential therapeutic targets for thrombocytopenia.

Methods: Proplatelet formation and MKMP release were evaluated both in vivo and in vitro under integrin β3 receptor impaired environment.
