This study assessed the effect of low (40 mg) and high (324 mg) single dose aspirin on cardiac release of thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin as assessed by measurement of coronary sinus levels of metabolites in patients with coronary artery disease. Measurements were done in the resting state and in the presence of pacing stress prior to and 24 h after aspirin administration. There was no consistent response in prostaglandin release under conditions of tachycardia stress as compared to control. Following both doses of aspirin, thromboxane could not be detected at rest or with pacing, and prostacyclin metabolic levels were undetectable in six of seven patients. Prostaglandin levels were not related to myocardial lactate extraction or production and lactate levels had no consistent relationship to aspirin administration. These data indicate that both low and high doses of aspirin inhibit both thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin production in humans. Selective thromboxane inhibition might not be possible.

Effects of exercise on cAMP-mediated platelet inhibition in young women: a pilot study.
Eur J Appl Physiol
December 2024
UCD School of Medicine, UCD Conway Institute, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Purpose: Exercise has been shown to reduce platelet reactivity and increase platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin, an endothelium-derived inhibitor of platelet activation, in middle-aged men and women. It is currently unknown if these beneficial effects can also be observed in young women and the intracellular mechanisms involved have not been identified. In this study, the feasibility of detecting changes in platelet reactivity, prostacyclin sensitivity and cAMP signalling were tested.

Article Synopsis
- The best aspirin dose for preventing preeclampsia is still debated, with no global agreement on the ideal regimen.
- Aspirin works by selectively blocking COX-1, helping maintain blood vessel health in the placenta, and higher doses (≥100 mg) are more effective than lower ones.
- New research indicates that certain factors, like pregnancy-related changes and obesity, may make lower doses less effective, but a 162 mg dose has proven to be more effective without increasing safety concerns compared to the commonly used 81 mg.
Effects of on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells.

Atherosclerosis is initiated by injury or damage to the vascular endothelial cell monolayer. Therefore, the early repair of the damaged vascular endothelium by a proliferation of neighbouring endothelial cells is important to prevent atherosclerosis and thrombotic events. (AP) has been used as a dietary supplement, mainly due to its high content of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and pigments such as chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycocyanin, ingredients with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic properties.

Objective: Explore the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) combined with somatostatin in the treatment of severe pancreatitis (SAP) patients.
Methods: A retrospective study method was adopted to select 95 patients with SAP who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 for clinical research. Among them, 48 patients received routine treatment+somatostatin (control group), and other 47 patients received ultrasound guided PCD treatment on the basis of the control group (research group).

The aim of this study is to assess the possible effect of olive seed oil (OSO) and destoned and dehydrated olive oil (DDOO), in comparison with extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), on some cardiovascular biomarkers in an experimental model of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic animals showed evident alterations in biomarkers involved in the evolution of diabetic vasculopathy, marked by increases in biomarkers that favor vascular damage, which was between 1.5 and five times as many as those in non-diabetic animals, and a smaller number of biomarkers that protect against such damage (25-75% less than in healthy controls) was observed.
