Activated partial thromboplastin time Dotaz Zobrazit nápovědu
The paper deals with the production of normal and pathological plasmas for the calibration of thromboplastin. Calibration is performed according to WHO principles. We compared single charges of thromboplastin (Sevac, CSSR, human brain) with each other and a selected reference charge with British thromboplastin. Lyophilised reference plasmas produced (20-50 healthy blood donors) and plasmas taken from patients treated with coumarin derivates (single and mixtures) could replace their fresh equivalents which was confirmed by testing 4 different batches. The stability of these plasmas (for a time of at least 12 months) was proved by repeated checks. These plasmas also served as controls in other laboratories in Czechoslovakia.

An imbalance in coagulation is associated with cardiovascular events. For prevention and treatment, anticoagulants, currently mainly xabans and gatrans, are used. The purpose of the present study was to provide a head-to-head comparison since there are no studies directly evaluating these novel anticoagulants. An additional aim was to find whether selected anthropological and biochemical factors can affect their anticoagulant properties as they are used in fixed doses. In this cross-sectional study, blood from 50 generally healthy donors was collected, and coagulation responses to dabigatran, argatroban, rivaroxaban, and apixaban, at a concentration of 1 μM, were analyzed. Heparin was used as a positive control. Prothrombin time (PT) expressed as international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were measured and compared. Rivaroxaban was the most active according to PT/INR while argatroban according to aPTT. The ex vivo anticoagulant effect measured by INR correlated inversely with body mass index (BMI) in all four anticoagulants tested. Shortening of aPTT was associated with higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels. No sex-related differences were observed in response to the anticoagulant treatments. As this was an ex vivo study and pharmacokinetic factors were not included, the influence of BMI is of high therapeutic importance.

Severe coagulation factor XII (FXII) deficiency is a very rare, mysterious and not well known inherited condition. Unlike other coagulation factor deficiencies, it is totally asymptomatic. Surprisingly, it does not lead to abnormal bleeding, even with major surgical procedures. The explanation for the lack of bleeding manifestations is unknown. It is suggested, but unproven, that patients are not sufficiently protected from thrombosis. FXII deficiency is usually discovered by accident through a routine coagulation testing done prior to surgery. Since FXII plays an important role in clot formation during in vitro measurements, its deficiency causes a marked prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time in the laboratory examination. The main concern related to FXII deficiency is the unnecessary testing, delay in health care and worry of surgical interventions that may be prompted by the abnormal laboratory result.

Bleeding and coagulopathy is a common problem in the fields of internal medicine. In case of life-threatening bleeding, rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) has critical role in diagnosis and therapy of coagulopathy. In contrast to commonly used tests such as prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time, ROTEM evaluates coagulation of the whole blood as a bedside method. The use of ROTEM for rapid diagnosis and targeted therapy of coagulopathy leads to reduction in bleeding and thus to reduction in administration of blood transfusion products. ROTEM is a viscoelastic method incorporated in current European and Czech-Slovak guidelines for managing life-threatening bleeding. In this article, we provide the reader with information on the method and also a simple scheme for the treatment of coagulopathy guided by ROTEM.Key words: bleeding - coagulopathy - thromboelastometry.

OBJECTIVES: Degradation of coagulation proteins in frozen plasma may influence assay results. The aims of this study were to explore the changes in coagulation parameters in patient plasma and internal quality control (IQC) after different freezing and storage conditions during the short-term and long-term periods. METHODS: Platelet poor plasma was prepared from citrated peripheral blood collected from a group of healthy donors. The plasma was pooled, frozen and stored in a variety of freezing and storage conditions. The changes were monitored using routine coagulation assays, as well as factor VIII (FVIII) and protein S (PS) assays. RESULTS: Plasma stored in liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ) or in -80°C showed long-term stable values for routine tests for a period of over 12 months, and 6 months for FVIII. Interestingly, the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) showed a temporary significant prolongation over the first two weeks. Plasma frozen and stored in -40°C is not viable for aPTT and FVIII testing, otherwise it can be used for other parameters for up to 4 months. PS showed a significant increase in all frozen samples. Freezing rate has a significant impact on plasma quality and the final storage temperature influences the long-term stability. CONCLUSION: The optimal storage conditions are ultra-low temperatures (LN 2 or -80°C) and the highest freezing rate possible. However, frozen plasma is not viable for IQC of aPTT during a period of two weeks after freezing. This study is unique in its conception as a practical guide for the handling of frozen plasma samples in modern laboratory settings.

Biodegradable polyesters, namely polycaprolactone (PCL) and copolymer of polylactide and polycaprolactone (PLCL) were electrospun into various fibrous structures and their hemocompatibility was evaluated in vitro. Firstly, hemolytic effect was evaluated upon incubation with diluted whole blood. The results showed that the degree of hemolysis depended on chemical composition and fibrous morphology. Electrospun polycaprolactone induced slight degree of hemolysis depending on its molecular weight and fibrous morphology; copolymer PLCL did not cause detectable hemolysis. The influence of coagulation pathways was examined by measurement of coagulation times. It was showed that intrinsic coagulation pathway assessed by activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was moderately accelerated after incubation with PCL and prolonged after incubation with copolymer PLCL. Extrinsic activation of coagulation tested by prothrombin time (PT) was slightly accelerated after incubation with all tested electrospun samples. Thrombogenicity assessment of fibrous samples revealed high thrombogenic properties of fibrous materials that was comparable to high degree of collagen thrombogenicity. The level of platelet activation was dependent on chemical composition and surface morphology of tested materials.

BACKGROUND: The short shelf-life of fresh platelets limits their efficient inventory management and availability during a massive transfusion protocol. Risk of insufficient availability can be mitigated by building an inventory of cryopreserved platelets (CPs). METHODS: A comparative study of fresh apheresis platelets (FAPs) and CPs was performed. Type-O CPs were processed with DMSO frozen at -80°C and reconstituted in thawed AB plasma. All patients enrolled in the study had the following parameters evaluated on admission: vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, mean arterial pressure), blood count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen level, and, in trauma patients, international severity score. Several outcomes were evaluated: 30-day survival, adverse events, quantity of administered blood products, fibrinogen concentrate and thromboxane (TXA), and laboratory parameters after transfusion (blood count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen level). RESULTS: Twenty-five (25) patients in the study group received transfusions totaling 81 units of CPs. Twenty-one (21) patients in the control group received a total of 67 units of FAPs. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics (p > 0.05) between groups. Both groups were comparable in clinical outcomes (30-day survival, administered blood products, fibrinogen concentrate, TXA, and adverse events). Among posttransfusion laboratory parameters, platelet count was higher in the group transfused with FAPs (97.0 ×109 /L) than in the group transfused with CPs (41.5 ×109 /L), p = 0.02025. Other parameters were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION: The study suggests that CPs are tolerable and a feasible alternative to FAPs. However, larger randomized studies are needed to draw definitive conclusions.

In this study, furcellaran (FUR) obtained from Furcellaria lumbricalis was firstly employed for sulfation via various methods, including SO3-pyridine (SO3∙Py) complex in different aprotic solvents, chlorosulfonic acid and sulfuric acid with a "coupling" reagent N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Structural characterization through FT-IR, GPC, XPS and elemental analyses confirmed the successful synthesis of 6-O-sulfated FUR derivates characterized by varying degrees of sulfation (DS) ranging from 0.15 to 0.91 and molecular weight (Mw) spanning from12.5 kDa to 2.7 kDa. In vitro clotting assays, partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thrombin time (TT), and prothrombin time (PT) underscored the essential role of sulfate esters in conferring anticoagulant activity whereas FUR prepared via chlorosulfonic acid with DS of 0.91 reached 311.4 s in aPPT showing almost 4-fold higher anticoagulant activity than native FUR at the concentration 2 mg/mL. MTT test showed all tested samples decreased cell viability in a dose dependent manner while all of them are non-cytotoxic up to the concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. Furthermore, sulfated derivates deposited onto polyethylene terephthalate surface presented substantial decrease in platelet adhesion, as well as absence of the most activated platelet stages. These findings support the pivotal role of O-6 FUR sulfates in enhancing hemocompatibility and provide valuable insights for a comparative assessment of effective sulfating approaches.

Previously, we reported that the sulphated polysaccharides (SPS)-CF, a water-soluble polysaccharide isolated and purified from Korean green alga Maesaengi (Capsosiphon fulvescens, Chlorophyta), is a glucuronogalactomannan based mainly on the monosaccharide composition determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis after 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) labelling of sugars in the acid (trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)) hydrolyzates of SPS-CF, which showed mannose (55.4 mol %), galactose (25.3 mol %) and glucuronic acid (16.3 mol %) as major sugars (Na et al., Int Immunopharmacol 10:364-370, 2010). However, the results of the present study re-performed for monosaccharide composition of this polysaccharide using, in addition to HPLC of PMP-labelled sugars, other separation methods, i.e. high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD), gas chromatography with flame ionising detection (GC-FID) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC), clearly demonstrated that the most prominent neutral monosaccharides of SPS-CF are xylose (38.6-49.4 mol %) and rhamnose (39.6-45 mol %), while mannose and galactose are present at a much lesser extent or in negligible amount. These extensive monosaccharide analyses, correlation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) measurements confirmed the sulphated glucuronorhamnoxylan (ulvan) type of SPS-CF polysaccharide, whose backbone is composed of alternating sequence of 4-linked L-rhamnose-3-sulphate and D-xylose residues (ulvobiose U3s) carrying monomeric D-glucuronic acid or D-glucuronic acid-3-sulphate on O-2 of some L-rhamnose-3-sulphate units as the side chains. The SPS-CF exhibited significant in vitro anti-coagulant activity by which the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and thrombin time (TT) were significantly prolonged. The results of this study demonstrated that the ulvan SPS-CF isolated from Korean Maesaengi C. fulvescens can be considered a potential anti-coagulant agent.
