Comparison between a new platelet count drop method PL-11, light transmission aggregometry,VerifyNow aspirin system and thromboelastography for monitoring short-term aspirin effects in healthy individuals

Platelet function has been described by many laboratory assays, and PL-11 is a new point-of-care platelet function analyzer based on platelet count drop method, which counts platelet before and after the addition of agonists in the citrated whole blood samples. The present study sought to compare PL-11 with other three major more established assays, light transmission aggregometry (LTA), VerifyNow? aspirin system and thromboelastography (TEG), for monitoring the short-term aspirin responses in healthy individuals. Ten healthy young men took 100?mg/d aspirin for 3-day treatment. Platelet function was measured via PL-11, LTA, VerifyNow and TEG, respectively. The blood samples were collected at baseline, 2 hour, 1 day during the aspirin treatment and 1 day, 5?±?1 days, 8?±?1 days after the aspirin withdrawal. Moreover, 90 additional healthy subjects were recruited to establish a reference range for PL-11. Platelet function of healthy subjects decreased significantly 2 hours after 100?mg/d aspirin intake and began to recover during 4–6 days after the aspirin withdrawal. Correlations between methods were PL-11 vs. LTA (r?=?0.614, p?<?0.01); PL-11 vs. VerifyNow (r?=?0.829, p?<?0.01); PL-11 vs. TEG (r?=?0.697, p?<?0.001). There was no significant bias between PL-11 and LTA at baseline (bias?=?1.94%, p?=?0.804) using Bland-Altman analysis, while the data of PL-11 were significantly higher than LTA (bias?=?24.02%, p?<?0.001) during the aspirin therapy. The reference range for PL-11 in healthy young individuals was from 66.8 to 90.5% (95%CI). When aspirin low-responsiveness was defined as LTA?>?20%, the cut-off values for each method were, respectively: PL-11?>?50%, VerifyNow?>?533 ARU, TEG?>?60.2%. The results of different platelet function assays were uninterchangeable for monitoring aspirin response and correlations among them were also varied. Correlations among PL-11 and other three major assays suggested the ability of PL-11 to assess the treatment effects of aspirin. But a large cohort study is needed to confirm the cut-off value of aspirin response detected by PL-11.

Who will conceive with IVF?

When considering the chances of establishing a healthy ongoing pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF), the cause of infertility plays a relatively minor role. In recent years, there has been a shift from determining the diagnosis to the individual prognosis for a given patient. A number of prognostic factors were identified, which enabled clinicians to appropriately counsel patients. Patient-determined factors are of crucial importance and some are amenable to intervention such as lifestyle and nutritional advice. However, the attention of clinicians remains on seeking adjuvant therapeutic interventions designed to improve the outcomes of IVF treatment. In this article, the patient-determined factors underlying the individual chance of conceiving and the more commonly prescribed empirical medical therapies prescribed to enhance outcomes are reviewed. It is concluded that greater attention to optimizing the health of the couple before starting IVF treatment may be more beneficial than adjuvant medical therapies during treatment.

Effects of aspirin on nasal responses in atopic subjects

Preliminary experiments indicated that solutions of aspirin (ASA) in buffered saline, pH 7.35, did not significantly change nasal airways resistance (NAR) when 0.1 ml of solution containing 22.5 mg (or less) per deciliter was sprayed into each nostril. Subsequently it was shown that this quantity of ASA administered intranasally did not significantly change NAR responses 15 min later to intranasal administration of increasing concentrations of histamine, methacholine, or an irritant (NH₃ gas). However, the same atopic subjects demonstrated significantly decreased responses to intranasal challenge with short ragweed extract (SRW) after intranasal ASA. In addition, prior oral administration of ASA, Na salicylate, and indomethacin significantly inhibited nasal challenge responses to SRW in sensitive subjects under controlled conditions.     

Tryptase and histamine release during aspirin-induced respiratory reactions

The involvement of mast cells in the pathogenesis of aspirin (ASA)-induced respiratory reactions was investigated by measuring serum levels of tryptase, a neutral protease that is a specific marker of mast cell activation. ASA challenges were performed in 17 ASA-sensitive patients with asthma and rhinosinusitis, and tryptase and histamine levels were measured in their venous blood samples. In three subjects who experienced moderate to severe respiratory reactions extending to the skin and/or gastrointestinal tract, marked elevations of tryptase levels in postreaction serum samples (peak levels, 51.9 and 40.0 ng/ml) were discovered in two of these three subjects, and a small elevation of tryptase occurred in the serum of the third subject (3.1 ng/ml peak). Plasma histamine levels in postreaction samples were significantly elevated over baseline values in all three subjects (delta mean plasma histamine, 238 pg/ml versus 56 pg/ml for the remaining 14 subjects; p less than 0.04). In the remaining 14 subjects, who experienced similar respiratory reactions without extrapulmonary symptoms during aspirin challenge, changes in tryptase and histamine levels were not observed.
