OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of rosuvastatin on platelet deposition under controlled shear rate conditions and to identify new platelet proteins involved in the interaction with the activating substrate. METHODS AND RESULTS Platelet-vessel wall interaction and thrombosis take place under dynamic conditions involving the interaction of the exposed damaged vascular wall with the circulat...

Due to its insulating properties, transparency, and well known surface chemistry, glass represents an interesting alternative to silicon or polymers for biochip processing. However, high aspect-ratio posts for DNA electrophoresis have only been reported in expensive quartz substrates. Therefore, we investigate here metal mask transfer by fluorocarbon plasma etching in nine silica or glasses of ...

We report an electrophoretic deposition method for the fabrication of gold nanoparticle (GNP) thin films as sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. In this method, GNP sol, synthesized by a seed-mediated growth approach, and indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates were utilized as an electrophoretic solution and electrodes, respectively. From the scanning electron microsc...

Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposition of insoluble protein fibrils that stain with Congo red application and appear apple green under polarized light. The presenting symptoms result from the involvement of many affected, nonspecific and generalized organ systems. Our patient was an 80-year-old woman with no medical history. She presented with a 2-week history of nausea and vo...

Intraluminal vascular suture material, which attracts fewer than the expected number of platelets compared with the same biomaterial exposed to blood in vitro, differs from the untreated biomaterial in that it has been passed once through the vessel wall. The mechanism by which this apparently trivial maneuver reduces platelet deposition was investigated. Polypropylene suture (7-0 Prolene) was ...

MXene has been considered as a promising electrode materials for energy storage devices. This work reports using an electrophoresis effect to efficiently deposit Ti3C2Tx/rGO composite on flexible substrates, which are subsequently used the electrodes of all-solid-state supercapacitors. The deposition does not require binder in fabrication electrodes. structures and properties MXene/graphene cha...
