Assessment of hemocompatibility of materials with arterial blood flow by platelet functional tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemocompatibility test of medical materials aims to detect adverse interaction between artificial surface and blood, which can activate or destruct blood components. In arterial flow conditions, due to a high shear stress, platelet is the cell critical for the hemocompatibility compliance. A classical instrumentation for the dynamic test of hemocompatibility involves a flow chamber with a contact surface between blood stream and tested plate. In the current study we investigated a simplified model of the whole blood shear stress, based on a cone and plate rotational viscometer. Several indices of platelet activation were analyzed, including plateletand granulocyte-platelet aggregates, platelet activation markers and platelet-derived microparticles. This model allowed to estimate platelet destruction, however no adhesion could be measured directly. In following tests of several polymer and metallic layer coated materials, the test revealed comparable performance to more laborious hemocompatibility experiments. We suggest, that thrombogenic potential of platelet-derived microparticles, which can be accurately measured in blood plasma, offers very useful estimate of hemocompatibility. Moreover, this parameter has already been validated in clinics and could be used for monitoring of implanted cardiovascular materials.

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. Several indices have been introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. Since the substitution of the blood pressure changes in the central arteries such as carotid with the blood pressure changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...

Lanthanum oxide (La(2)O(3)) films with good hemocompatibility and antibacterial properties have been fabricated using dual plasma deposition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that La exists in the +3 oxidation state. The band gap of the materials is determined to be 3.6 eV. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and blood platelet adhesion tests were used to evaluate the blood...
