The effect of prostaglandin E1 in a concentration of 0.1 gamma/ml on the aggregation and disaggregation of thrombocytes and erythrocytes in vitro was studied. Prostaglandin E1 was found to materially reduce the aggregation and to produce disaggregation of thrombocytes. A somewhat diminished aggregation of erythrocytes was also noted. Prostaglandin E1 failed to cause disaggregation of erythrocytes.

Introduction: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent platelet aggregation (PA) can cause medical errors. Currently, there is no reliable method for completely solving this problem. This study aims to solve this problem that has plagued clinical practice for many years by using oscillation method.

Objective: To compare platelet count results of specimens that yield platelet clump flags to platelet count results on these specimens after vortexing.
Method: Specimens that generated platelet count flags on Sysmex XN 3000 instruments were vortexed and rerun. Only data from specimens demonstrating elimination of platelet clump flags were used in this study.

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events, though the mechanisms linking triglycerides and platelet function with thrombosis, remain elusive. The aim of this study was to assess the association between platelet function and triglyceride levels.
Methods: We included participants from the Framingham Heart Study Third Generation cohort, OMNI, and New Offspring Spouse cohort who attended the third examination cycle (2016-2019).

Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) refers to the aggregation of platelets in anticoagulant blood in vitro and causes a false lower platelet count (PLT). For the purpose to achieve an accurate PLT, we presented an alternative vortex method to disaggregate platelet clumps and consequently generate a reliable PLT without a second venous puncture for patients. PLT, mean-platelet-volume (MPV), red blood cells (RBCs), hematoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct) and white blood cells (WBCs) were evaluated before and after vortex in 221 specimens with PTCP using vortex method, and the PLT was also compared with 85 specimens disaggregated by citrate method.
