Thrombus formation in vivo.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To examine thrombus formation in a living mouse, new technologies involving intravital videomicroscopy have been applied to the analysis of vascular windows to directly visualize arterioles and venules. After vessel wall injury in the microcirculation, thrombus development can be imaged in real time. These systems have been used to explore the role of platelets, blood coagulation proteins, endothelium, and the vessel wall during thrombus formation. The study of biochemistry and cell biology in a living animal offers new understanding of physiology and pathology in complex biologic systems.

Correlation of plasma serotonin changes with platelet aggregation in an in vivo dog model of spontaneous occlusive coronary thrombus formation.
The role of platelets in contributing to occlusive coronary artery thrombus formation remains unresolved. A large number of studies have utilized in vitro techniques to study platelet aggregation. This report describes a model of spontaneous in vivo thrombus formation which involves application of current in the left circumflex coronary artery of the dog. Changes in mean coronary blood flow vel...

We studied the dose-response effects of the F(ab')2 fragments of murine monoclonal antibodies to the platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor (7E3 and 10E5) on in vivo platelet thrombus formation in a well-characterized monkey model in which the carotid artery is stenosed and thrombus formation is provoked and augmented by intimal damage and the infusion of subaggregating doses of epinephrine. Both antibod...

BACKGROUND Experimental studies have demonstrated that intracoronary platelet aggregation and thrombus formation may induce marked vasoconstriction of epicardial arteries with endothelial injury. METHODS AND RESULTS To examine the effects of intracoronary thrombus formation on coronary vasomotor tone of human epicardial arteries in vivo, we studied 15 patients who developed intracoronary thro...

متن کاملHypereosinophilic Cardiac Involvement Presenting With Left Ventricular Massive Thrombus and Cardioembolic Stroke: A Case Report
Introduction: It is well known that the tendency toward thrombosis is increased in cancer patients. The increase in cancer procoagulant and tissue factor levels, endothelial damage, and stasis due to compression are among the most accused causes of thrombosis in cancer patients. Hypereosinophilia is a rare condition that causes endothelial damage leading to thrombosis. <s...

Platelets as cellular elements are the constituants of blood tissue and their main function is to participate in hemostatic processes. The glycocalyx which intimately surrounds the platelets contains a number of glycoproteins which are responsible for blood group specificity (ABO), tissue compatibility (human leukocyte antigen = HLA) , and platelet antigenicity. Platelets contain granules which...
