Device‐Induced Blood Damage in Pump‐Assisted Circulation: A Comparative Study of HeartMate III and BrioVAD Pumps

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Shear‐induced blood damage—including hemolysis, platelet and neutrophil injury, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) degradation—was evaluated for the BrioVAD and HM3 using an in vitro circulatory loop under clinically relevant conditions. Across 15 biomarkers (n > 6 per group), no significant differences were observed between the two devices.

Neutrophil extracellular traps induced by activated platelets as a cause of neutrophil–platelet aggregation in β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Abnormal neutrophils and platelets in splenectomised β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E (HbE) disease contribute to neutrophil–platelet aggregation, leading to a high risk of thrombus formation. Activated platelets induce neutrophils to generate neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) via the P‐selectin–P‐selectin glycoprotein ligand‐1 (PSGL1) pathway, which ...

Thrombocytosis and the generation of platelet‐derived microparticles in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Thrombocytosis is associated with an increased production of platelet‐derived microparticles from activated platelets, which contribute to vaso‐occlusion in sickle cell disease by perpetuating the cycle of inflammation, procoagulant state and endothelial dysfunction.

The metalloproteinase ADAM17 promotes acute lung inflammatory responses during pancreatitis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a multifactorial upper gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder that in severe cases (~20% of all AP) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, the latter coincident with multiorgan dysfunction, particularly acute lung injury (ALI).

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Potential Role of Soluble CD40 Ligand as Inflammatory Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer Patients

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2014
Platelet activation observed in cancer patients is associated with the release of various cytokines, including P-selectin and CD40 ligand (CD40L). We analyzed the plasma levels of sCD40L in association with adhesion molecules (sP-selectin and sVCAM-1) to

Endothelial Function Is Associated With Incident Diabetes Mellitus: The ELSA‐Brasil Cohort Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Diabetes mellitus is associated with endothelial dysfunction, but the bidirectional nature of this relationship remains debated. We aimed to evaluate the association between microvascular endothelial function and incident diabetes in Brazilian adults and to assess potential effect modification by obesity status.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

肿瘤患者血浆可溶性P-选择素的检测及意义

Zhongguo shiyan zhenduanxue, 1998
探讨肿瘤患者血浆可溶性Ｐ－选择素（Ｐ－ｓｅｌｅｃｔｉｎ）检测的意义。方法用ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测１１６例不同肿瘤患者血浆中可溶性Ｐ－ｓｅｌｅｃｔｉｎ的含量。结果各组肿瘤患者血浆可溶性Ｐ－ｓｅｌｅｃｔｉｎ均明显高于正常人对照组（Ｐ＜０．０５或Ｐ＜０．０１）。结论肿瘤患者血浆可溶性Ｐ－ｓｅｌｅｃｔｉｎ含量与正常人有差异，检测可溶性Ｐ－ｓｅｌｅｃｔｉｎ有可能成为肿瘤辅助诊断的一项有价值的指标。

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.
