Most of the 104 patients with ischaemic heart disease had distinct functional and structural microcirculation disorders. The slugging syndrome was revealed in 98% of the cases. In 56% of the patients microthrombus formation was noted in the microcirculatory bed, as well as a reduction of the perfusion capillary blood flow and an increase of the shunting flow, the half-resorption of sodium-131I from the skin and muscle depot being decreased. A clear relationship is noticed between the intravascular microcirculatory disorders, the functional state of the erythrocytes and platelets, the increased coagulation potential of the blood, the appearance of components that indicate the possibility of a diffuse intravascular blood coagulation (fibrinogen B, products of fibrinogen and fibrin decomposition), the changes in lipid metabolism. Stasis of the blood flow with distinct signs of the slugging syndrome, microthrombosis, activation of the kallikrein-kinin system and increasing shunting flow were revealed in patient with a severe course of the disease. Criteria for a quantitative assessment of the noted changes were developed.

Microthrombus formation is associated with COVID-19 severity; however, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated mouse models with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection by using our in vivo two-photon imaging system. In the lungs of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, increased expression of adhesion molecules in intravascular neutrophils prolonged adhesion time to the vessel wall, resulting in platelet aggregation and impaired lung perfusion.

Introduction: Early Brain Injury (EBI) significantly contributes to poor neurological outcomes and death following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The mechanisms underlying EBI post-SAH remain unclear. This study explores the relationship between serial cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes and neurological symptoms, as well as the mechanisms driving CBF changes in the ultra-early stages after experimental SAH in mice.

It remains unclear why unilateral proximal carotid artery occlusion (UCAO) causes benign oligemia in mice, yet leads to various outcomes (asymptomatic-to-death) in humans. We hypothesized that inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) both transforms UCAO-mediated oligemia into full infarction and expands pre-existing infarction. Using 900 mice, we i) investigated stroke-related effects of UCAO with/without intraperitoneal administration of the NOS inhibitor (NOSi) N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 400 mg/kg); ii) examined the rescue effect of the NO-donor, molsidomine (200 mg/kg at 30 minutes); and iii) tested the impact of antiplatelet medications.

Objective: To explore the relationship between leukocyte count and renal function in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).

Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of 100 patients with LN admitted to the Department of Nephrology between 1 January 2015 and 30 December 2023. Based on tertile of leukocyte count, they were allocated to Low, Medium, or High groups.

Supraphysiological shear rates (>2000 s) amplify von Willebrand factor unfurling and increase platelet activation and adhesion. These elevated shear rates and shear rate gradients also play a role in shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). The primary objective of this study is to investigate the contributions of major binding receptors to platelet deposition and SIPA in a stenotic model.
