Background: A high activation level is a normal characteristic of lyophilized platelets (LPs); however, the effects of this activation level on the efficacy and safety of LPs after transfusion are debated.
Objectives: We aimed to test the efficacy and safety of pre-activated LPs (PLPs) in rabbits with traumatic bleeding and shock.
Methods: In vitro characteristics of PLPs, including activation level, aggregation, migration, and thromboelastography parameters, were evaluated. Limb soft tissue injury accompanied by seawater immersion and controlled hemorrhagic shock was induced in 50 rabbits, which were then divided into five groups: A (no resuscitation), B (resuscitation with Lactated Ringer's solution, LR), C (resuscitation with LR and fresh platelets), D (resuscitation with LR and LPs), and E (resuscitation with LR and PLPs pre-activated by thrombin). Blood loss, platelet count, blood urea nitrogen and lactic acid concentrations, and in vivo thromboelastography value and maximum amplitude were recorded. Biotin-X-N-hydroxysuccinimide labeling and flow cytometry were used to measure the number of infused platelets left in circulation. Histology was used to assess whether aberrant thrombi were formed in the kidney, lung, or liver.
Results: PLPs exhibited an increased P-selectin level, enhanced aggregation, and shortened values, with no obvious changes in migration ability or maximum amplitude. PLPs transfusion had a non-inferior effect on all in vivo parameters compared with fresh platelet transfusion, and the circulation time of PLPs was much shorter than that of fresh platelets. No obvious thrombi were found.
Conclusions: PLPs transfusion demonstrated non-inferior efficacy and safety compared with fresh platelet transfusion.

The present study aimed to (1) evaluate the effects of different concentrations of the polysaccharide extract of Cissus sicyoides (PE-Cs) during in vitro culture of preantral follicles included in goat ovarian tissue on (i) follicular morphology and activation, (ii) ovarian stromal density, (iii) follicular and oocyte diameters, (iv) antioxidant enzymes activity (SOD, CAT, and GPx), (v) quantification of MDA, thiol, and nitrite levels; as well as to (2) measure the total antioxidant capacity of the extract. The ovarian cortex fragments were cultured at 39 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO for 6 d in alpha-modified minimum essential medium (αMEM) supplemented with insulin, transferrin, and selenium; hypoxanthine; glutamine; and bovine serum albumin, which was called αMEM alone or added of PE-Cs at 20, 40, or 80 µg/mL. At the end of the culture period, a reduction in the percentage of normal follicles in all treatments using PE-Cs compared to fresh control and αMEM.

Background: Shift work is associated with irregular dietary habits and poor nutritional intake, increasing the risk of chronic diseases. This study aimed to assess dietary quality and nutritional intake according to shift work status among Korean adult workers.
Methods: Data from 15,121 adult workers aged ≥20 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted between 2013 and 2021 were analyzed.

New treatment strategies are required to combat the spread of drug-resistant malaria. The synthesis and preclinical evaluation of novel 3-hydroxy-propanamidines (HPAs), with modifications of the phenanthrene and the 4-fluorobenzamidine moieties, has yielded several analogs exhibiting excellent in vitro growth inhibition of drug-sensitive or resistant fresh clinical isolates and culture-adapted strains. No cytotoxicity in the human HepG2 cell line was observed, demonstrating notable parasite selectivity.
