Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone of coronary artery disease treatment and prevention. Combination of aspirin and P2Y inhibitor is recommended after acute coronary syndrome and after elective percutaneous coronary intervention. The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy depends on the individual ischemic and bleeding risk of the patient. Bleeding on dual anti platelet therapy remains the most frequent complication of antiplatelet therapy even is mostly minimal or moderate. Beyond individualized evaluation of patients' bleeding risk, management of patients with severe bleeding complications is a challenging situation and requires general and specific recommendations with interruption of the dual antiplatelet therapy in the vast majority of the cases.

The p48 MW HPC is a novel low-profile flow diverter covered by a hydrophilic polymer coating with antithrombogenic properties, which may reduce ischemic complications and enable a single antiplatelet therapy after insertion of the stent. In this single-center experience, we describe the efficacy of this device, focusing on the illustration of different therapeutic indications and the outcome in various clinical settings with regard to vessel anatomy, bleeding state, and aneurysm configuration. We retrospectively reviewed our database for all patients being treated with a p48 MW HPC flow diverter between February 2019 and July 2021.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of indobufen in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and thromboembolic disorders. The primary focus is on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), thrombosis, bleeding events, and adverse reactions. The results are intended to provide a reference for the clinical application of indobufen and suggest directions for further large-scale, multi-center, prospective studies.

The hemostatic function of platelets is complementary to blood coagulation. However, traditional platelet function tests have primarily focused on measuring platelet aggregation, reducing their clinical effectiveness for antiplatelet drug monitoring. To address this limitation, we propose a new test principle that evaluates platelet function and the effects of antiplatelet drugs through blood coagulation reactions.

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 211198, PR China. Electronic address:

Fc receptor γ subunit (FcRγ) activation plays a crucial role in cancer carcinogenesis. Here, we aimed to uncover the impact of FcRγ on circulating tumor cells (CTC) colonization and the underlying mechanism. FcRγ deficient (FcRγ) mice were used to investigate the functional effects of FcRγ in cancer metastasis, and the results demonstrated that FcRγ deficiency significantly promotes metastasis.

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of antiplatelet agent use and the lack of high-quality evidence, the CAPTAIN trial aimed to investigate the safety and provide recommendations on continuing acetylsalicylic acid perioperatively in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).

Methods: The CAPTAIN trial was a multicentre, surgeon blind, randomized controlled trial conducted from April 2016 to April 2023. Patients undergoing LIHR were eligible for inclusion.
