Background: This study was designed to investigate the effect of clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms on platelet reactivity and clinical outcome in Chinese Han patients.

Materials And Methods: Three hundred and thirty-six percutaneous coronary intervention - treated patients were recruited and followed for 1 year. Blood samples were collected from all patients for DNA genotyping. The platelet reactivity unit was measured by the VerifyNow technique. The CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, CYP2C19*17, ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1, ITGB3, CYP2C9*3, CYP2B6*9, and P2Y12 alleles were assessed.

Results: The clinical endpoints were related to previous heart disease history (11.90% vs. 28.57%, = 0.017), stroke (12.24% vs. 16.67%, = 0.039), and diabetes (27.55% vs. 52.38%, = 0.047). High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was frequent in advanced age ( = 0.019), male gender ( = 0.016), hypertension ( = 0.033), and chronic renal failure ( = 0.040). There were more endpoints in the CYP2C19*2 and P2Y12 mutant carriers (76.19% vs. 43.20%, < 0.001; 50.00% vs. 35.71%, = 0.001, respectively), whereas fewer in the CYP2C19*17 mutant carriers (11.90% vs. 56.46%, = 0.001). CYP2C19*2 and P2Y12 polymorphism manifested HTPR (194.25 ± 45.91 vs. 151.38 ± 58.14, < 0.001; 180.33 ± 67.25 vs. 161.89 ± 56.49, = 0.008, respectively), whereas CYP2C19*17 mutant improved platelet reactivity (97.17 ± 45.38 vs. 169.08 ± 57.15, = 0.003). However, there were no further cardiovascular deaths in endpoint patients.

Conclusion: In Han Chinese people of mainland China, clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms are related to variable platelet reactivity after clopidogrel maintenance dosing, which influences major adverse cardiovascular events, without an effect on cardiac death.

Purpose: Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory neurodegenerative disease characterised by blood-brain barrier dysfunction and leukocyte infiltration into the CNS. Platelets are best known for their contributions to haemostasis, however, upon activation, platelets release an abundance of soluble and vesicular-associated proteins, termed the platelet releasate (PR). This milieu contains numerous inflammatory and vasoactive proteins, that can attract leukocytes and alter endothelial permeability.

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.

Background: The incidence of serious bacterial infections (SBI) in febrile infants under three months is high. Complete blood count parameters, an easily accessible and low-cost test, may have diagnostic potential for SBI.

Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy of absolute neutrophil count (ANC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), platelet-to-mean platelet volume ratio (PLT/MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in distinguishing febrile infants under three months with SBI.

Activation of Evolutionarily Young Endogenous Retroviruses Is Implicated in COVID-19 Immunopathology.

The dysfunction of the innate immune system is well-described as a clinical characteristic of COVID-19. While several groups have reported human endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) as enhancing factors of immune reactivity, characterization of the COVID-19-specific ERVs has not yet been sufficiently conducted. Here, we revealed the transcriptome profile of more than 500 ERV subfamilies and innate immune response genes in eight different cohorts of platelet, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), lung, frontal cortex of brain, ventral midbrain, pooled human umbilical vein endothelial cells (pHUVECs), placenta, and cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMEC) from COVID-19 patients (total; n = 124) and normal samples (total; n = 53) using publicly available datasets.

Introduction: This prospective, single-arm pharmacodynamic study assessed the effect of colchicine (COLC) [Strides Pharma UK Ltd, Watford, Hertfordshire, England] 0.5 mg administered orally once daily for 14 days on platelet reactivity with respect to aspirin reaction units (ARUs) and P2Y reaction units (PRUs).

Methods: Twenty-two patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with daily maintenance aspirin and clopidogrel were recruited.
