Platelet hyperreactivity contributes significantly to thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction and stroke. While antiplatelet drugs are used, residual ischemic risk remains. Intermittent fasting (IF), a dietary pattern characterized by alternating periods of eating and fasting, has shown cardiovascular benefits, but its effect on platelet activation is unclear. This study demonstrates that IF inhibits platelet activation and thrombosis in both patients with coronary artery disease and apolipoprotein E () knockout ( ) mice, by enhancing intestinal flora production of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA). Mechanistically, elevated IPA in plasma directly attenuates platelet activation by binding to the platelet pregnane X receptor (PXR) and suppressing downstream signaling pathways, including Src/Lyn/Syk and LAT/PLCγ/PKC/Ca. Importantly, IF alleviates myocardial and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice. These findings suggest that IF mitigates platelet activation and thrombosis risk in coronary atherosclerosis by enhancing intestinal flora production of IPA, which subsequently activates the platelet PXR-related signaling pathways.

The heat treatment process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy alters its microstructural features such as prior-β grain size, Widmanstatten α lath thickness, Widmanstatten α volume fraction, grain boundary α lath thickness, total α volume fraction, α colony size, and α platelet length. These microstructural features affect the material's mechanical properties (UTS, YS, and %EL). The relationship between microstructural features and mechanical properties is very complex and non-linear.

The effect of the gut microbiota extends beyond their habitant place from the gastrointestinal tract to distant organs, including the cardiovascular system. Research interest in the relationship between the heart and the gut microbiota has recently been emerging. The gut microbiota secretes metabolites, including Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids (BAs), indole propionic acid (IPA), hydrogen sulfide (HS), and phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln).

Thrombosis is a critical complication in lymphomas, driven by chronic inflammation. To observe this systemic mechanism, we evaluated inflammatory cytokines, neutrophil and monocyte activation, and platelet function in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), with and without thrombosis using ELISA and flow cytometry according to laboratory and clinical data. Interleukin-1β was elevated across lymphomas and inversely correlated with the Khorana score for venous thromboembolism, while increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was inversely associated with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) in thrombosis-associated lymphomas.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have received significant attention in recent years for their role in both the immune response and the vascular damage associated with inflammation. Platelets have been described as critical components of NETs since the initial description of this physio-pathological response of neutrophils. Platelets have been shown to play a dual role as responders and also as stimulators of NETs.
