[PMID: 38390892 DOI: 10.1080/09537104.2024.2316743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Microfluidic technology has emerged as a powerful tool in studying arterial thrombosis, allowing researchers to construct artificial blood vessels and replicate the hemodynamics of blood flow. This technology has led to significant advancements in understanding thrombosis and platelet adhesion and aggregation. Microfluidic models have various types and functions, and by studying the fabrication methods and working principles of microfluidic chips, applicable methods can be selected according to specific needs. The rapid development of microfluidic integrated system and modular microfluidic system makes arterial thrombosis research more diversified and automated, but its standardization still needs to be solved urgently. One key advantage of microfluidic technology is the ability to precisely control fluid flow in microchannels and to analyze platelet behavior under different shear forces and flow rates. This allows researchers to study the physiological and pathological processes of blood flow, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of arterial thrombosis. In conclusion, microfluidic technology has revolutionized the study of arterial thrombosis by enabling the construction of artificial blood vessels and accurately reproducing hemodynamics. In the future, microfluidics will place greater emphasis on versatility and automation, holding great promise for advancing antithrombotic therapeutic and prophylactic measures.

Fioretti V, Sperandeo L, Gerardi D, Di Fazio A, Stabile E. Antiplatelet Therapy for Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4229. [PMID: 39064269 PMCID: PMC11277659 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13144229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The elderly represent an increasing proportion of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Various data have shown that the benefits of percutaneous coronary revascularization are maintained in elderly patients presenting with ACS. Conversely, the management of antiplatelet therapy remains challenging and controversial, because older patients are usually at a high risk of both ischemia and bleeding. Moreover, the recommended ischemic and bleeding risk scores in patients with ACS were developed from studies with a low representation of older patients. New antiplatelet strategies have been developed, but their evidence in elderly patients is limited because they are usually underrepresented in randomized clinical trials due to their clinical complexity. The aim of this review is to summarize the different factors associated with increased ischemic and/or bleeding risk and the scientific evidence about the different antiplatelet strategies in elderly patients presenting with ACS and undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization.

Therapeutic strategies in FcγIIA receptor-dependent thrombosis and thromboinflammation as seen in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT). Expert Opin Pharmacother 2024; 25:281-294. [PMID: 38465524 DOI: 10.1080/14656566.2024.2328241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fcγ-receptors (FcγR) are membrane receptors expressed on a variety of immune cells, specialized in recognition of the Fc part of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. FcγRIIA-dependent platelet activation in platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibody-related disorders have gained major attention, when these antibodies were identified as the cause of the adverse vaccination event termed vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT) during the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. With the recognition of anti-PF4 antibodies as cause for severe spontaneous and sometimes recurrent thromboses independent of vaccination, their clinical relevance extended far beyond heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and VITT. AREAS COVERED Patients developing these disorders show life-threatening thromboses, and the outcome is highly dependent on effective treatment. This narrative literature review summarizes treatment options for HIT and VITT that are currently available for clinical application and provides the perspective toward new developments. EXPERT OPINION Nearly all these novel approaches are based on in vitro, preclinical observations, or case reports with only limited implementation in clinical practice. The therapeutic potential of these approaches still needs to be proven in larger cohort studies to ensure treatment efficacy and long-term patient safety.

Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy plays a critical role in the prevention and treatment of major cardiovascular diseases triggered by thrombosis. Since the 1900s, significant progress in reducing morbidity and death caused by cardiovascular diseases has been made. However, despite the development and approval of drugs that specifically target the platelet, including inhibitors for cycloxygenase-1, P2Y12 receptor, integrin αIIbβ3, phosphodiesterases, and protease-activated receptor 1, the risk of recurrent thrombotic events remains high, and the increased risk of bleeding is a major concern. Scientific advances in our understanding of the role of platelets in haemostasis and thrombosis have revealed novel targets, such as protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4), glycoprotein Ib (GPIb)-V-IX complex, glycoprotein VI, and 12-lipoxygenase. The antithrombotic effects and safety of the pharmacologic inhibition of these targets are currently under investigation in clinical studies. This review provides an overview of drugs in early development to target the platelet and those in current use in clinical practice. Furthermore, it describes the emerging drug targets being developed and studied to reduce platelet activity and outlines potential novel therapeutic targets in the platelet.

[PMID: 36918923 PMCID: PMC10015939 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-023-00735-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is a phenolic molecule found naturally in a wide range of fruits as well as in medicinal plants. It has many health benefits due to its antioxidant properties. This study focused on finding out the neurobiological effects and mechanisms of GA using published data from reputed databases. For this, data were collected from various sources, such as PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar, SpringerLink, and Web of Science. The findings suggest that GA can be used to manage several neurological diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, strokes, sedation, depression, psychosis, neuropathic pain, anxiety, and memory loss, as well as neuroinflammation. According to database reports and this current literature-based study, GA may be considered one of the potential lead compounds to treat neurological diseases and disorders. More preclinical and clinical studies are required to establish GA as a neuroprotective drug.
