Statement Of Problem: Osseointegration is now primarily established, but soft tissue integration is still susceptible to failure and problematic on implant surfaces. So, implant dentistry is increasingly focusing on improving peri-implant soft tissue integration.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the blood fibrin clot formation and adhesion on the abutment after cleaning and decontamination and determine the suitable abutment surface associated with fibrin clot attachment.

Materials And Methods: Forty-two abutments (14 per group) were used in the present study: a brand-new (BN), contaminated with biofilm (CO) and decontaminated with an enzymatic cleaner and autoclave sterilization (DEC). For a fibrin clot, 9 mL of whole human blood and abutments was centrifuged at 2700 rpm for 12 min. Clots were divided into two parts for histomorphometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Twelve abutments disconnected from the clot and two not treated with blood were observed under SEM.

Results: Residual debris and biofilm were observed on the abutment surface in the CO group but not in other groups. Healthy and organized fibrin clots formed on all abutments. The fibrin extension areas are distributed uniformly in BN and DEC groups but irregularly in CO. The surface percentage of the fibrin clot extensions was 41.76% ± 6.73, 26.99% ± 6.40, and 37.83% ± 9.72 for the BN, CON, and DEC groups, respectively. The blood clot-attached areas in the CO group were statistically lower than the other groups. No difference was observed between the BN and DEC groups.

Conclusions: This study confirmed that surface contamination could influence blood clot attachment on the abutment surfaces. Cleaning and sterilization can have a favorable effect on soft tissue healing on abutment surfaces.

Unlabelled: Group A (GAS) is a major human pathogen that causes several invasive diseases including necrotizing fasciitis. The host coagulation cascade initiates fibrin clots to sequester bacteria to prevent dissemination into deeper tissues. GAS, especially skin-tropic bacterial strains, utilize specific virulence factors, plasminogen binding M-protein (PAM) and streptokinase (SK), to manipulate hemostasis and activate plasminogen to cause fibrinolysis and fibrin clot escape.

Rapid control of hemorrhage is vital in first-aid and surgery. As representative of emergency hemostatic materials, inorganic porous materials achieve rapid hemostasis through concentrating protein coagulation factors by water adsorption to accelerate the coagulation reaction process, however their efficacy is often limited by the insufficient contact of material with blood and the lack of blood clot strength. Herein, we report an ultrafast dispersing and in situ gelation sponge (SG/DB) based on anchoring interface effect for hemorrhage control using freeze drying method after mixing fish scale gel (SG) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) pre-crystallized diatom biosilica (DB).

Background:  Fibrinolysis is spatiotemporally well-regulated and greatly influenced by activated platelets and coagulation activity. Our previous real-time imaging analyses revealed that clotting commences on activated platelet surfaces, resulting in uneven-density fibrin structures, and that fibrinolysis initiates in dense fibrin regions and extends to the periphery. Despite the widespread clinical use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), their impact on thrombin-dependent activation of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and fibrinolysis remains unclear.

Background: Germline haplodeficiency (RHD) is associated with thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction and predisposition to myeloid malignancies. Platelet expression profiling of a RHD patient showed decreased encoding for the A subunit of factor XIII, a transglutaminase that cross-links fibrin and induces clot stabilization. FXIII-A is synthesized by hematopoietic cells, megakaryocytes and monocytes.

Background And Purpose: Patients with active cancer face an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Also, stroke may be an initial indicator of cancer. In patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke treated with thrombectomy, analysis of the clot composition may contribute new insights into the pathological connections between these two conditions.
