Article Abstract
Objectives: Evaluate the hematological parameters and indices in the blood count collected on the first day of life (D1) in very premature infants born to mothers with early-onset preeclampsia (PE) and their correlation with increased neonatal morbimortality.
Background: Changes in hematologic parameters in the blood counts collected after birth associated with PE have been demonstrated by recent studies, although inconsistently.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study between 2008 and 2023, at a level III neonatal intensive care unit, including preterm infants with a gestational age below 30 weeks. A blood count was collected on D1 and a comparison of hematological parameters and indices was made between infants exposed or not to PE.
Results: We included 206 newborns (PE = 39; no PE = 167). The multivariate analyses showed no significant hematological changes. PE-exposed infants required significantly more platelet transfusions (PE: n = 20 [51.8%]; no PE: n = 34 [20.36%]; P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: PE-exposed preterms required more platelet transfusions, which increases the risk of associated complications.

Prognostic Value of C-Reactive Protein/Platelet Ratio as a Biomarker Prior to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Malignant Lymphoma.

Previous studies have shown that the pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)/platelet ratio (CP ratio) is a predictor of survival. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical significance of CP ratio in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT). The cohort included patients with ML who underwent first alloHCT from 2007 to 2021.

Platelet transfusion not only attenuates bleeding and promotes hemostasis but also plays a critical role in vascular stability and endothelial barrier integrity. Under amotosalen-UVA pathogen reduction of platelets, pathogen nucleic acids undergo adduction, which prevents their replication and greatly reduces the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections. Although pathogen-reduced (PR) platelets are increasing in clinical use, the physiologic effects of pathogen reduction on platelets, particularly its impact on platelet-endothelial interactions, have yet to be described.

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.

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.

Background: Human platelets experience structural and functional deterioration during extra-corporeal storage at either room temperature or in the cold, impairing their reactivity and diminishing their hemostatic effectiveness following transfusion. PECAM-1 is an inhibitory receptor on platelets that exerts its inhibitory effects via phosphorylation of tyrosine residues that lie within its cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). The purpose of this investigation was to attempt to restore platelet reactivity by impairing the inhibitory activity of PECAM-1.
