The current study was carried out to evaluate the pharmacological properties of cupincin- A novel cupin domain containing metalloprotease with limited proteolysis from rice bran on blood coagulation and hydrolysis of human fibrinogen. Cupincin preferentially hydrolyzed the Aα chain of fibrinogen and then the Bβ-chain, but not the γ-chain. Cupincin reduced the re-calcification time of citrated human plasma dose dependently. Analysis of citrated whole blood in the presence of cupincin by rotem showed a decrease in coagulation time and clot formation time. Sonoclot analysis indicated that cupincin cleaved fibrinogen of whole citrated blood. SDS-PAGE and sonoclot analysis (LI-30) indicated that cupincin lacked plasmin-like activity. Global hemostasis tests like rotem and sonoclot analysis determined cupincin as a procoagulant enzyme. Cupincin did not show any effect on prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time tests suggesting its action on the common pathway of coagulation. The involvement of proteases from rice ( L.) in haemostasis has never been exploited before. This study could provide the basis for the development of new procoagulant agents from a nontoxic source like rice.

Maternal age has significantly increased among Chinese women, thereby posing risk of pregnancy-related complications. Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and coagulation analysis in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms are generally used for its diagnosis with limited efficacy. Sonoclot coagulation analyzer is effective in assessing coagulation function used during cerebral surgery and cardiovascular surgery.

Introduction The point-of-care test (POCT) is useful for blood coagulation management during cardiovascular surgery. Although thromboelastography (TEG6s) has been reported to have targeted benefits for blood transfusion in cardiac surgery, Sonoclot analysis has not yet been fully validated. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of Sonoclot, especially platelet function (PF) as a platelet concentrate (PC) transfusion parameter, compared to TEG6s in cardiovascular surgery.

The bleeding risk in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is related not only to low platelet count but also to the presence of platelet dysfunction. However, diagnosing a concomitant platelet dysfunction is challenging as most of the available platelet function assays (PFAs) require a platelet count of greater than 100,000/μL. Sonoclot coagulation and platelet function analyzer works on the principle of viscoelastometry, and results remain unaffected by the platelet counts.

Platelets play a significant role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke since they are involved in the formation of intravascular thrombus after erosion or rupture of the atherosclerotic plaques. Platelet (PLT) count and mean platelet volume (MPV) are the two significant parameters that affect the functions of platelets. In the current study, MPV and PLT count was evaluated using flow cytometry and a cell counter.

Background: As the circulating blood volume is relatively small in pediatric patients, blood components are quickly lost when bleeding, which make it more difficult to stop the bleeding. Particularly in pediatric cardiac surgery, loss of clotting factors associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) would likely to be prominent. As a result, bleeding is further promoted and the operation time is extended.
