adenosine diphosphate/inflammation

OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of disease activity on platelet function in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA). METHODS Ninety-six patients with an established diagnosis of IA (RA, PsA, seronegative SpA) were recruited. Patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes

The sample population in this initial case control study of the adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT) response of inflammatory bowel disease patients included: 23 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)-active and inactive, 13 patients with Crohn's disease (CD)-active and inactive, 14

Extracellular adenosine diphosphate (ADP) mediates a wide range of physiological effects as an extracellular signaling molecule, including platelet aggregation, vascular tone, cell proliferation, and apoptosis by interacting with plasma membrane P2 receptors. However, the effect of ADP on cell

Septic shock is characterized by systemic inflammation and can lead to hemorrhage and necrosis in multiple organs. Septic shock is one of the leading causes of death. Studies have reported that septic shock is strongly associated with coagulation abnormality. The adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor

BACKGROUND The no-reflow (NR) phenomenon exists despite percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and is especially prevalent in diabetics. The causes(s) of NR are not fully elucidated, but may be associated with impaired residual platelet and inflammatory reactivity during dual-antiplatelet

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has wide applications in orthopaedic care. Its beneficial effects are attributed to the growth factor profile from the platelet secretome. In theory, these effects would be diminished by medications that inhibit platelet

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) 1-5 containing an N-acyl hydrazone subunit were prepared and their antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities assessed in vitro and in vivo. Compounds 1-5 inhibited the platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate and/or arachidonic acid, with

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the effects of long-term clopidogrel and aspirin administration on platelet aggregation, activation, and inflammation. BACKGROUND Clopidogrel resistance was described in 15% to 30% of patients with short-term therapy, but its antiplatelet effects with

Twenty-six healthy volunteers were given the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug nabumetone (1 g/day p.o.) for 10 days. Platelet aggregation tests in response to adenosine diphosphate, adrenaline, collagen, arachidonic acid, and ristocetin and bleeding time and coagulation screening tests were

The preparation and screening of antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, gastroprotective and antiplatelet activities of original non-acidic aminobenzo-pyranopyrimidine derivatives are described. Major and dose-dependent analgesic and antipyretic properties were detected in all the compounds

Glycyrrhizin, a major active constituent of liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), has a free radical scavenging property, and its effects were evaluated on an animal model of spinal cord injury (SCI) induced by the application of vascular clips (force of 24 g) to the dura via a four-level T5-T8

The expression of P-selectin on the surface of platelets and platelet-leukocyte conjugate formation are considered to be an indicator of platelet activation and are important in thrombotic and inflammatory disease. Previous studies have reported the inhibitory effects of sevoflurane on platelet

Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerases consist of 16 members that modify nuclear proteins by building adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymers. Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase 1, the prototype poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase, and some poly(adenosine

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-2 is expressed during acute cardiac allograft rejection in association with death of heart muscle cells. The nuclear enzyme poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) synthase (PARS) is activated by agonists such as NO and peroxynitrite, which cause single-strand
