Changes in Hemostasis System in Outbred Female Mice with Cisplatin-Induced Procoagulant Status.

Procoagulant status was modeled in outbred female mice by single injection of cisplatin in a maximum tolerated dose and hemostasis parameters monitored over 30 days by methods of coagulogram and low-frequency piezothromboelastography (global test). Monitoring revealed waveform changes in the hemostatic potential: the structural and chronometric hypercoagulation recorded starting from the first day and attaining its maximum on days 5-7 was followed by hypocoagulation and returned to normocoagulation on day 30. This pattern reflects prolonged effect of cisplatin: formation of severe dysfunction of the endothelium providing the main anticoagulant pool of hemostasis (day 1) aggravated by disturbances of the plastic functions of the liver (days 15-20), and recovery (days 20-30).

Metabolism of a New Antiaggregant, Indolinone Derivative.

Cytochrome p450-mediated metabolism of GRS (indolinone antiaggregant) and its effects on activities of cytochrome p450 isoenzymes were studied. Inhibition of 6 isomers of cytochrome p450 in human liver microsomes was studied with the use of specific substrates. It was found that human liver cytochrome p450 enzymes could not induce degradation of GRS and that GRS was not an inductor or inhibitor of cytochrome p450 family members 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2C8, and 3A4.

Global Tests in Evaluation of the Function of Pro-and Anticoagulant Systems: Present and Future.

Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of global tests for evaluation of the blood coagulation systems demonstrated the possibility of obtaining express data on hemostasis stages I-II and III when working with native substrate (whole blood). Changes in viscous characteristics of the whole blood recorded ex vivo during hemocoagulation allowed us to propose the concept of permanency of fibrinogenesis as the obligatory in vivo process determining the hemostatic potential, an integral characteristic of the hemocoagulation cycle providing sufficient blood fluidity and limiting extravasation of blood components under conditions of permeability disturbances and damage to the vascular wall.

[Associations of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology, comorbid conditions in patients of advanced and senile age: state-of-the-art review. Part 2. Associations of periodontal diseases with comorbid conditions in patients of advanced and senile age].

The state-of-the-art review of literature on existing views on the association of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology (part 1 of the review) and comorbid conditions (part 2 of the review) is submitted. The conclusion about need of carrying out the further multicenter researches which purpose is development of new integrated indicators, in a complex and comprehensively characterizing not only the periodontal status, but also set of available somatic therapeutic pathology, especially at patients of advanced and senile age is drawn.
