Adhesion of platelets to surface-bound fibrinogen under flow

After platelet activation, fibrinogen mediates platelet-platelet interactions leading to platelet aggregation. In addition, fibrinogen can also function as a cell adhesion molecule, providing a substratum for adhesion of platelets and endothelial cells. In this report, we studied the adhesion of platelets to surface-immobilized fibrinogen under flow in different shear rates. Heparinized whole blood containing mepacrine-labeled platelets was perfused for two minutes at various wall shear rates from 250 to 2,000 s-1 in a parallel plate flow chamber. The number of adherent fluorescent platelets was quantitated every 15 seconds with an epifluorescent videomicroscope and digital image processing system. When compared with platelet adhesion and aggregation seen on glass surfaces coated with type I bovine collagen, a significant increase in platelet adhesion was observed on immobilized fibrinogen up to wall shear rates of 800 s-1. The adherent platelets formed a single layer on fibrinogen-coated surfaces. Under identical conditions, no significant adhesion was observed on fibronectin- or vitronectin-coated surfaces. Although platelet adhesion to collagen was substantially inhibited by the platelet inhibitors prostaglandin E1 and theophylline, these inhibitors had no effect on platelet adhesion to fibrinogen. Platelets adhered to recombinant homodimeric wild-type (gamma 400-411) fibrinogen, but not to the recombinant homodimeric gamma' variant of fibrinogen. Platelet adhesion to recombinant fibrinogen with RGD to RGE mutations at positions alpha 95-97 and alpha 572-574 was similar to that with plasma-derived fibrinogen. These results show that platelets adhere to fibrinogen-coated surfaces under moderate wall shear rates, that the interaction is mediated by the fibrinogen 400-411 sequence at the carboxy-terminus of the gamma chain, and that the interaction is independent of platelet activation and the RGD sequences in the alpha chain.     

The development of cellular immunity to Epstein-Barr virus after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

Epstein-Barr virus-induced lymphoproliferative disease (EBV-LPD) is a potentially lethal complication during the first 6 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). To determine whether deficiencies of EBV-specific cellular immunity contribute to EBV-LPD susceptibility and distinguish patients at risk, we performed limiting dilution analysis to quantify anti-EBV cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) frequencies in 26 recipients of unmodified or T-cell-depleted (TCD) grafts from EBV-seropositive donors. At 3 months post-BMT (n = 26), only five patients had EBV CTLp frequencies in the range of seropositive normal controls, irrespective of the type of transplant administered. By 6 months post-BMT, 9 of 13 patients tested had EBV CTLp frequencies within the normal range. The time period in which these patients had deficient cellular immunity to EBV corresponds to the period in which we have observed EBV-LPD in most prior patients. One patient with a low EBV CTLp frequency at 4 months post-BMT developed an EBV-LPD. Within 2 weeks of receiving an infusion of donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) providing less than 1,200 EBV- specific cytotoxic T-cell precursors, populations of EBV-specific CTL in the circulation were restored to levels detected in normal seropositive adults. Concurrently, the patient achieved a regression of the EBV-LPD, which has been sustained without further therapy. These studies indicate that recipients of both unmodified and TCD marrow grafts have profound deficiencies of EBV-specific T cell-mediated immunity early posttransplant, and that the period of risk for EBV-LPD closely corresponds to this interval of severe deficiency. Treatment of one patient with EBV-LPD with marrow donor-derived PBMC induced a rapid expansion of EBV-specific cytotoxic T-cell populations that occurred contemporaneously with the clinical regression of disease.     

Iron absorption in normal subjects and patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis: relationship with serum ferritin concentration.

In 52 normal subjects there was an inverse relationship between serum ferritin concentration and iron absorption. In 21 measurements in 15 patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis there was a similar inverse relationship but absorption was higher in relation to iron stores at all levels. Haemochromatotic patients with normal serum ferritin levels had abnormally high values for desferrioxamine chelatable iron and there was no correlation between chelatable iron and iron absorption.

Risk factors for development of dehydration in young children with acute watery diarrhoea: a case-control study

In a case-control study to understand the risk factors for development of life-threatening dehydration, a total of 379 children comprising 243 cases (moderate or severe dehydration) and 136 controls (non or mild dehydration) up to 2 years of age suffering from acute watery diarrhoea were studied. By univariate analysis, the presence of vibrios in stool, withdrawal of breast feeding during diarrhoea, not giving fluids, including oral rehydration solution (ORS), during diarrhoea, frequent purging (> 8/ day), vomiting (> 2/day) and undernutrition were identified as risk factors. However, by multivariate analysis after controlling for confounders, withdrawal of breast feeding during diarrhoea (odds ratio (OR) = 6.8, p < 0.00001) and not giving ORS during diarrhoea (OR = 2.1, p < 0.006) were identified as significant risk factors. The confounding variables which also contributed significantly to increasing the risk were age (≤ 12 months; OR = 2.7, p = 0.001), frequent purging (> 8/day; OR = 4.1, p < 0.00001), vomiting (> 2/day; OR = 2.4, p = 0.001) and severe undernutrition (%median <60 weight-for-age of Indian Academy of Paediatrics classification; OR = 3.1, p = 0.001). We feel that these findings will be useful for Global and National Diarrhoeal Diseases Control Programmes for formulating intervention strategies for preventing death due to diarrhoeal dehydration.     

Erythropoiesis and iron metabolism in Hodgkin's disease

Recently developed techniques for the investigation of iron kinetics were used to study the disturbance of iron metabolism in 19 untreated patients with Hodgkin's diseases (HD). The erythroid abnormality in newly diagnosed HD appears to be confined to those patients with systemic symptoms of weight loss, night sweats and fever, and consists of depression of marrow erythroid activity. These patients had a significnatly lower haemoglobin and serum iron concentration and a higher serum ferritin concentration, both when compared to normal subjects and to those patients with HD who lacked systemic symptoms. Ineffective erythropoiesis and red-cell destruction were not significantly increased. The present findings, confirm that HD patients with systemic symptoms have a depression of erythropoiesis, and that in these patients the marrow fails to respond to the stimulus of mild anaemia.
