Aim: Management of ticagrelor-induced bleeding is challenging as platelet transfusion is ineffective. An effective strategy is needed. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of four haemostatic drugs (HDs), namely recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa), fibrinogen concentrate (Fib), tranexamic acid (TXA) and factor XIII concentrate (FXIII) to improve the haemostatic capacity in the presence of ticagrelor.
Methods: Blood was spiked with ticagrelor then supplemented by either HD or control. Several assays were performed: ADP-induced platelet aggregation measured by impedance aggregometry, light transmission and two global assays, thrombolastography with the platelet mapping device (TEG-PM) and a platelet-dependent thrombin generation assay (TGA).
Results: Ticagrelor inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation and decreased the clot strength maximum amplitude (MA) in TEG-PM. None of the HDs corrected these parameters. However, rFVIIa shortened the coagulation time R using TEG-PM and the time to peak prolonged by ticagrelor in TGA. Fib increased MA and FXIII decreased LY30. TXA had no effects.
Conclusions: Whereas none of the HDs corrected ticagrelor-induced platelet inhibition, rFVIIa shortened coagulation times, Fib increased clot firmness and FXIII decreased fibrinolysis. Consequently, they may bypass ticagrelor effects by acting on fibrin formation or fibrinolysis. Further studies are needed to confirm these data .

Marine organisms, including shrimps, have gained research interest due to containing an abundance of bioactive lipid molecules.This study evaluated the composition and the in vitro biological activities of amphiphilic bioactive compounds from four different wild shrimp species: , , , and . Total lipid (TL) extracts were obtained from shrimp and separated into total amphiphilic (TAC) and total lipophilic (TLC) compounds.

We hypothesized that a strategy employing tissue-specific endothelial cells (EC) might facilitate the identification of tissue- or organ-specific vascular functions of ubiquitous metabolites. An unbiased approach was employed to identify water-soluble small molecules with mitogenic activity on choroidal EC. We identified adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as a candidate, following biochemical purification from mouse EL4 lymphoma extracts.

Objective: To study the associations of genetic markers influencing the residual reactivity of platelets during antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid, and clinical and laboratory parameters, including parameters of the platelet hemostasis, in patients with non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke (IS) for a deeper understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms and prediction of response to therapy and clinical outcome.
Material And Methods: The study included 296 patients (average age 64.65 [55; 76] years) undergoing treatment at the City Clinical Hospital named after.

Most Kunitz inhibitors exhibit serine protease inhibitory activity, but limited information is available on the regulation of platelet function. Herein, we report the purification and characterization of a novel single Kunitz domain inhibitor (Sibanin) from the salivary glands of the black fly Simulium bannaense. Recombinant Sibanin prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time, and exhibited high-affinity binding to FXa and elastase with a KD of 5.

In vitro and in vivo effects of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) on the functional activity of platelets were studied in experiments on white rats. MSN particles, neither uncoated nor coated with calcium alginate, induced spontaneous platelet aggregation when added to platelet-rich plasma, but significantly enhanced ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Subcutaneous administration of uncoated and calcium alginate-coated MSN resulted in increased maximum size and rate of platelet aggregate formation 1 day post-injection.
