Dipyridamole forms an inclusion complex with beta-cyclodextrin (dip-beta-CD) which shows better solubility and bioavailability than the uncomplexed compound. The present studies have demonstrated that dip-beta-CD is more effective than dipyridamole either as base or HCl (dispersed or not in lactose) on some important cardiovascular parameters when orally administered to conscious animals. In particular, dip-beta-CD causes a stronger and prompter coronary and carotid vasodilatation in dogs, at doses which weakly influence the systemic arterial pressure and the heart rate. In addition, platelets collected from treated rabbits at various intervals appear to be protected from sodium adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation in vitro more effectively and rapidly by dip-beta-CD than by dipyridamole. Studies on tail bleeding time have confirmed that dip-beta-CD is more active than dipyridamole when given orally to mice. These biological findings are fully in agreement with other oral bioavailability studies in dogs and men indicating that dip-beta-CD gives quicker and higher blood levels with smaller interindividual variability than dipyridamole.

Catheter replacement combined with antiplatelet therapy in hemodialysis catheter-related right atrial thrombus: a potential treatment approach.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord

Background: Catheter-related right atrial thrombus (CRAT) is a severe complication in hemodialysis patients that can lead to catheter dysfunction and pulmonary embolism (PE). However, no standardized treatment strategy currently exists for hemodialysis-related CRAT. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of catheter replacement and antiplatelet therapy in managing hemodialysis CRAT.

Arteriovenous grafts (AVG) can be the only bailout solution for patients who require kidney replacement therapy but are unsuitable for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. Currently, high-level evidence on the effectiveness and safety of antithrombotic therapy in AVG patients is scarce. Following the PICO (patient; intervention; comparator; outcome) model and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a data search of the English literature in PubMed, SCOPUS, Central Cochrane was conducted, until March 1st, 2023 (PROSPERO Protocol Number: CRD42023401785).

Aim: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease initiated by dysbiosis of the local microbial community. As a non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, dipyridamole features anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dipyridamole in an experimental rat model of periodontitis.

Vascular occlusive diseases remain a major health burden worldwide, necessitating a deeper understanding of the adaptive responses that mitigate their impact. Arteriogenesis, the growth and remodeling of collateral vessels in response to arterial occlusion, is a vital defense mechanism that counteracts fluid shear stress-induced vascular stenosis or occlusion. While physical factors driving arteriogenesis have been extensively studied, the specific cellular mediators involved are poorly understood.
