An in vitro trauma test was conducted to determine the effects of extracorporeal circulation on platelet count and function. Fresh human blood was circulated in two identical in vitro circuits for six hours at a rate of 500 ml per minute (500 recirculations). One circuit included a G.E.--Peirce membrane lung and the other was a control. Platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, or collagen was studied before and after six hours of perfusion. No important drop in platelet count occurred in the control circuit (Control-C) following bypass, but there was a 20% drop for the lung circuit (Lung-C). Platelet aggregation was reduced by about 30% for the control circuit and 65% for the lung circuit. The large decrease in platelet function accompanied by only a moderate decrease in platelet count is discussed in terms of loss of the youngest and most active platelets, platelet inhibition due to ADP released by red blood cell lysis, and platelet trauma.

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the preoperative Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte count, and Platelet (HALP) score to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with rectal cancer (RC) and improve prediction accuracy by incorporating clinical parameters. Data from 263 patients with RC were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value (OCV) for the HALP score in predicting LNM.

Objectives: Osteoblast is known to regulate hematopoiesis according to preclinical studies but the causal relationship in human remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate causal relationships of bone mineral density (BMD) with blood cell traits using genetic data.
Methods: Summary statistics from the largest available genome-wide association study were retrieved for total body BMD (TBBMD), lumbar spine BMD (LSBMD), femoral neck BMD (FNBMD) and 29 blood cell traits including red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet-related traits.

The Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury (HRS-AKI) patients infected with methicillin-resistant (MRSA) urgently require safe and effective treatment options due to their compromised hepatic and renal functions, as well as thrombocytopenia resulting from hypersplenism. In our case, an HRS-AKI patient who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy for fluid overload developed fever with chills. His blood tests indicated elevated C-reactive protein and neutrophils, low platelet count, and bilateral lung infiltrates.

Background: In China, 80% of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is associated with cirrhosis. Portal hypertension, the most common outcome of cirrhosis progression, has a high incidence. Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio (PSL) with a cut-off value of 909 can predict the presence of esophagogastric varices and thus portal hypertension, which is also an independent risk factor for early recurrence and late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after resection.

Background: Post-traumatic cerebral infarction (PTCI) is a severe complication resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can lead to permanent neurological damage or death. The investigation of the factors associated with PTCI and the establishment of predictive models are crucial for clinical practice.
Methods: We made a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 1484 TBI patients admitted to the Neurosurgery Department of a provincial hospital from January 2018 to December 2023.
