Abstract
BACKGROUND Major trauma often results in significant bleeding and coagulopathy, posing a substantial clinical burden. To understand the underlying pathophysiology and to refine clinical strategies to overcome coagulopathy, preclinical large animal models are often used. This review scrutinizes the clinical relevance of large animal models in hemostasis research, emphasizing challenges in translating findings into clinical therapies. METHODS We conducted a thorough search of PubMed and EMBASE databases from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2022. We used specific keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria centered on large animal models. RESULTS Our review analyzed 84 pertinent articles, including four animal species: pigs, sheep, dogs, and nonhuman primates (NHPs). Eighty-five percent of the studies predominantly utilized porcine models. Meanwhile, sheep and dogs were less represented, making up only 2.5% of the total studies. Models with NHP were 10%. The most frequently used trauma models involved a combination of liver injury and femur fractures (eight studies), arterial hemorrhage (seven studies), and a combination of hemodilution and liver injury (seven studies). A wide array of coagulation parameters were employed to assess the efficacy of interventions in hemostasis and bleeding control. CONCLUSIONS Recognizing the diverse strengths and weaknesses of large animal models is critical for trauma and hemorrhage research. Each model is unique and should be chosen based on how well it aligns with the specific scientific objectives of the study. By strategically considering each model's advantages and limitations, we can enhance our understanding of trauma and hemorrhage pathophysiology and further advance the development of effective treatments.

A Soft Zwitterionic Hydrogel as Potential Coating on a Polyimide Surface to Reduce Foreign Body Reaction to Intraneural Electrodes. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27103126. [PMID: 35630604 PMCID: PMC9147366 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27103126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Invasive intraneural electrodes can control advanced neural-interfaced prostheses in human amputees. Nevertheless, in chronic implants, the progressive formation of a fibrotic capsule can gradually isolate the electrode surface from the surrounding tissue leading to loss of functionality. This is due to a nonspecific inflammatory response called foreign-body reaction (FBR). The commonly used poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based low-fouling coatings of implantable devices can be easily encapsulated and are susceptible to oxidative damage in long-term in vivo applications. Recently, sulfobetaine-based zwitterionic hydrogels have emerged as an important class of robust ultra-low fouling biomaterials, holding great potential to mitigate FBR. The aim of this proof-of-principle in vitro work was to assess whether the organic zwitterionic—poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) [poly(SBMA)]—hydrogel could be a suitable coating for Polyimide (PI)-based intraneural electrodes to reduce FBR. We first synthesized and analyzed the hydrogel through a mechanical characterization (i.e., Young’s modulus). Then, we demonstrated reduced adhesion and activation of fibrogenic and pro-inflammatory cells (i.e., human myofibroblasts and macrophages) on the hydrogel compared with PEG-coated and polystyrene surfaces using cell viability assays, confocal fluorescence microscopy and high-content analysis of oxidative stress production. Interestingly, we successfully coated PI surfaces with a thin film of the hydrogel through covalent bond and demonstrated its high hydrophilicity via water contact angle measurement. Importantly, we showed the long-term release of an anti-fibrotic drug (i.e., Everolimus) from the hydrogel. Because of the low stiffness, biocompatibility, high hydration and ultra-low fouling characteristics, our zwitterionic hydrogel could be envisioned as long-term diffusion-based delivery system for slow and controlled anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic drug release in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A high prevalence of venom-induced consumption coagulopathy has been reported in individuals with viper snakebites. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is a rapid technique that could be advantageous in assessing and monitoring coagulation disorders. PURPOSE To explore correlations between ROTEM and standard coagulation tests. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective observational study was performed among 41 patients with viper envenomation admitted to the Vietnam Poison Control Center from April 2016 to October 2017. Standard coagulation measurements [platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and fibrinogen level] and ROTEM indicators [clotting time (CT), amplitude (at set time: 5 and 10 minutes), clot information time (CFT) and maximum clot firmness (MCF) for extrinsic (EXTEM), intrinsic (INTEM), and fibrin based (FIBTEM) ROTEM] were obtained. RESULTS For INTEM, EXTEM, the FIBTEM, proportions of patients with prolonged CT were 34.1%, 63.4%, and 61.0% respectively and the proportions of patients with decreased MCF were 62.2%, 62.2%, and 35.5%, respectively. Moderate correlations were observed between PT and EXTEM CT (r = 0.627), aPTT and INTEM CT (r = 0.626), fibrinogen and FIBTEM MCF (r = 0.723), and platelet count and EXTEM MCF (0.60). CONCLUSION ROTEM indicated a hypocoagulation state in patients with viper snakebite and was moderately correlated with standard coagulation parameters.

Abstract
Blood coagulation is a process involving several chemical reactions governed by coagulation factors, during which the shear elastic coefficient, μ, varies as the medium transitions from liquid to gel phase. This work used ultrasound to measure μ during the clotting of human plasma samples by tracking the motion of a glass sphere located inside a cuvette filled with the plasma. A 2.03 MHz ultrasonic system generated an impulsive acoustic radiation force acting on the sphere, and a 4.89 MHz pulse-echo ultrasonic system tracked the sphere displacement induced by that force. Measurements of μ were determined by fitting a μ-dependent theoretical model to the motion waveform of the sphere immersed in clotting normal plasma and plasma samples with fibrinogen (FI) concentrations of 1.2 (FI-deficiency) and 3.6 (FI-normal) g/L. For normal plasma, μ started at 14.22 Pa and increased rapidly until 2 min, then slowly until it reached 210.23 Pa at 35 min after the clotting process started. A similar trend was exhibited in plasma samples with FI concentrations of 1.2 and 3.6 g/L, with μ reaching 120.55 and 679.42 Pa, respectively. A theoretical model, related to the kinetics of clot-structure formation, describes the time changes of μ for the clotting plasma samples. The sphere-motion-based acoustic-radiation-force approach allowed us to measure the shear elastic coefficient during the coagulation process of plasma samples with normal and deficient FI concentrations. Our results suggest that the method used in this study is capable of being used to detect bleeding disorders.

Effect of emergency department fibrinogen testing on survival of trauma patients receiving blood transfusions. Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis 2021; 31:372-376.

Abstract
: Fibrinogen is the first clotting factor to reach critically low levels during blood loss and its depletion is associated with coagulopathy, increased blood loss, transfusion requirements and mortality after trauma. However, direct measurements of fibrinogen concentration or function are not included in many Emergency Department (ED) trauma laboratory testing protocols. We hypothesized that including a test of fibrinogen concentration in the ED would be associated with increased survival for trauma patients requiring blood transfusions.To test this hypothesis, we performed a single-centre retrospective study of the effect of a resulted fibrinogen concentration measurement performed in the ED on survival of trauma patients receiving blood transfusions within the first 4 h of their hospital arrival. Multivariate logistic regression was used test the effect of a fibrinogen test on hospital survival after adjusting for the influence of INR, injury severity, lowest recorded blood pressure and blood transfusion intensity defined as the number of red blood cell units transfused in the first 4 h or care.Of 11 404 trauma registry individuals from 2016 to 2017, 843 (7.4%) received any blood transfusions within the first 4 h of ED care, of whom 635 (75.3%) had a documented fibrinogen concentration ordered and resulted. Multivariate logistic regression for hospital survival demonstrated a significant interaction effect between the presence of a fibrinogen test and transfusion intensity (Whole Model P < 0.0001, Interaction P = 0.035). Repeat analysis after stratifying for those individuals receiving more than 4 units of red blood cell units within 4 h of care found that the presence of a fibrinogen test was independently associated with survival only for those receiving more than 4 units [FIB test odds ratio for survival = 3.5 (1.0, 10.8), P = 0.03].Fibrinogen testing in the ED may be a valuable addition to resuscitation of the trauma patient receiving significant blood transfusions.

Abstract
Hypofibrinogenaemia during cardiac surgery may increase blood loss and bleeding complications. Viscoelastic point-of-care tests provide more rapid diagnosis than laboratory measurement, allowing earlier treatment. However, their diagnostic test accuracy for hypofibrinogenaemia has never been reviewed systematically. We aimed to systematically review their diagnostic test accuracy for the identification of hypofibrinogenaemia during cardiac surgery. Two reviewers assessed relevant articles from seven electronic databases, extracted data from eligible articles and assessed quality. The primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values. A total of 576 articles were screened and 81 full texts were assessed, most of which were clinical agreement or outcome studies. Only 10 diagnostic test accuracy studies were identified and only nine were eligible (ROTEM delta 7; TEG5000 1; TEG6S 1, n = 1820 patients) (ROTEM, TEM International GmbH, Munich, Germany; TEG, Haemonetics, Braintree, MA, USA). None had a low risk of bias. Four ROTEM studies with a fibrinogen threshold less than 1.5–1.6 g/l and FIBTEM threshold A10 less than 7.5–8 mm had point estimates for sensitivity of 0.61–0.88; specificity 0.54–0.94; positive predictive value 0.42–0.70; and negative predictive value 0.74–0.98 (i.e. false positive rate 30%–58%; false negative rate 2%–26%). Two ROTEM studies with higher thresholds for both fibrinogen (<2 g/l) and FIBTEM A10 (<9.5 mm) had similar false positive rates (25%–46%), as did the two TEG studies (15%–48%). This review demonstrates that there have been few diagnostic test accuracy studies of viscoelastic point-of-care identification of hypofibrinogenaemia in cardiac surgical patients. The studies performed so far report false positive rates of up to 58%, but low false negative rates. Further diagnostic test accuracy studies of viscoelastic point-of-care identification of hypofibrinogenaemia are required to guide their better use during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
A continuous microfluidic viscometer is used to measure blood coagulation. The viscometer operates by flowing oil and blood into a cross section where droplets are generated. At a set pressure, the length of the droplets is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the blood sample being delivered. Because blood viscosity increases during coagulation as the blood changes from a liquid to a solid gel, the device allows to monitor coagulation by simply measuring the drop length. Experiments with swine blood were carried out in its native state and with the addition of coagulation activators and inhibitors. The microfluidic viscometer detected an earlier initiation of the coagulation process with the activator and a later initiation with the inhibitor compared to their corresponding controls. The results from the viscometer were also compared with the clinical method of thromboelastography (TEG), which was performed concurrently for the same samples. The time to initiation of coagulation in the microfluidic viscometer was correlated with the reaction time in TEG. Additionally, the total time for the measurement of clot strengthening in TEG correlated with the time for the maximum viscosity observed in the microfluidic viscometer. The microfluidic viscometer measured changes in viscosity due to coagulation faster than TEG detected the clot formation. The present viscometer is a simple technology that can be used to further study the entire coagulation process.

Abstract
Background Severe traumatic injury continues to present challenges to healthcare systems around the world, and post-traumatic bleeding remains a leading cause of potentially preventable death among injured patients. Now in its fifth edition, this document aims to provide guidance on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following traumatic injury and encourages adaptation of the guiding principles described here to individual institutional circumstances and resources. Methods The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was founded in 2004, and the current author group included representatives of six relevant European professional societies. The group applied a structured, evidence-based consensus approach to address scientific queries that served as the basis for each recommendation and supporting rationale. Expert opinion and current clinical practice were also considered, particularly in areas in which randomised clinical trials have not or cannot be performed. Existing recommendations were re-examined and revised based on scientific evidence that has emerged since the previous edition and observed shifts in clinical practice. New recommendations were formulated to reflect current clinical concerns and areas in which new research data have been generated. Results Advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of post-traumatic coagulopathy have supported improved management strategies, including evidence that early, individualised goal-directed treatment improves the outcome of severely injured patients. The overall organisation of the current guideline has been designed to reflect the clinical decision-making process along the patient pathway in an approximate temporal sequence. Recommendations are grouped behind the rationale for key decision points, which are patient- or problem-oriented rather than related to specific treatment modalities. While these recommendations provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of major bleeding and coagulopathy, emerging evidence supports the author group’s belief that the greatest outcome improvement can be achieved through education and the establishment of and adherence to local clinical management algorithms. Conclusions A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidance are key to improving patient outcomes. If incorporated into local practice, these clinical practice guidelines have the potential to ensure a uniform standard of care across Europe and beyond and better outcomes for the severely bleeding trauma patient.

Abstract
Certain blood-borne biomarkers offer a potent methodology for understanding the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with clinicians generally advocating the use of multiple biomarkers for proper risk assessment of CVDs. Herein four such CVDs biomarkers- C-reactive protein (CRP), N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and fibrinogen- were rapidly (5 min) analyzed from clinical samples (~ 4 µL) on an integrated microfluidic platform equipped with 1) immobilized highly specific aptamer probes and 2) field-effect transistor (FET)-based sensor arrays. The calibration curve from the FET sensor arrays showed good agreement in the physiological concentration ranges for CRP (0.1-50 mg/L), NT-proBNP (50-10,000 pg/mL), cTnI (1-10,000 pg/mL), and fibrinogen (0.1-5 mg/mL). The developed prototype of this fully automated portable device requires minimal reagent and sample inputs and consequently shows great promise for next-generation point-of-care devices assaying multiple CVDs biomarkers in clinical samples.

Abstract
Background Correlation of plasma fibrinogen concentration (fibrinogenClauss) with rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) parameters has not been investigated in dogs. Objectives To determine the correlation between plasma coagulation tests and fibrinogenClauss with ROTEM parameters and to evaluate their ability to predict bleeding in dogs. Animals Ninety‐seven dogs with concurrent determination of fibrinogenClauss and fibrin polymerization test (FIBTEM) analysis. Methods Signalment, pretreatment, clinical signs of bleeding, fibrinogenClauss, plasma coagulation test results, hematocrit, platelet count, FIBTEM, extrinsic (EXTEM) and intrinsic (INTEM) activated ROTEM assays were retrieved retrospectively. Correlations between fibrinogenClauss and FIBTEM maximum clot firmness (MCFFIBTEM) and between prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and ROTEM parameters were determined. Dogs were further assigned to groups with or without clinical signs of bleeding. The prognostic significance of significantly different parameters to predict bleeding was evaluated. Results FibrinogenClauss showed strong correlation with MCFFIBTEM (r = 0.860, n = 97, P < .001). PT showed strong correlation with EXTEM clotting time (CTEXTEM) (r = 0.839, n = 53, P < .001), and aPTT was strongly correlated with INTEM CT (CTINTEM) (r = 0.664, n = 31, P < .001). Platelet count, PT/aPTT, EXTEM clot formation time (CFTEXTEM), MCFEXTEM, EXTEM maximum clot elasticity (MCEEXTEM), and CTINTEM were significantly different between groups. A CTINTEM >149 seconds was 100% sensitive to detect bleeding. Conclusions and Clinical Importance The MCFFIBTEM can be used to evaluate the effect of fibrinogen on hemostasis as an alternative to determination of fibrinogenClauss. In addition, CTEXTEM and CTINTEM are strongly correlated with PT and aPTT, respectively.
