Twenty years ago Imai & Nose introduced a whole-blood clotting test for the estimation of haemocompatibility of biomaterials in vitro In our paper a modification of this assay is described and the mechanism of clot formation further elucidated. It was found that neither the inhibition of platelet function nor the removal of platelets from blood significantly changed the clot formation rate on glass and polyvinyl chloride in comparison to the rate tor whole blood. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that platelets were not involved in clot formation near the blood/biomaterial interface. Thus, it was concluded that the system of contact activation of the coagulation cascade dominates during clot formation under static conditions. The latter conclusion was supported by the fact that preadsorption of human serum albumin or human fibrinogen onto the glass plates used, decreased the clot formation rate in the same manner.

The abdominal cavity is, in essence, an appendage of the lymphatic system, therefore, it cannot represent a completely foreign container for the blood poured out here. Indeed, the observations of Virchow, Wintrich and others show that whole blood can remain in this cavity for a long time (several days) without undergoing clotting (Pashutin). In view of this fact, it is natural to expect, as is confirmed by experiments, that most of the blood that has entered the abdominal cavity has time to be absorbed before it begins to coagulate. If a part of it, which failed to be absorbed in time, undergoes clotting, then this does not represent any particular disturbances in the overall economy of blood, the blood clot is completely absorbed after preliminary disintegration (fat). In this sense, hemorrhage into the abdominal cavity is not life-threatening, since the blood does not disappear for the body, but soon again, almost entirely, enters the total mass of the blood vessel.

AbstractCombined oral contraceptive (COC) use is a risk factor for venous thrombosis (VT) and related to the specific type of progestin used. VT is accompanied by inflammation and pathophysiological clot formation, that includes aberrant erythrocytes and fibrin(ogen) interactions. In this paper, we aim to determine the influence of progesterone and different synthetic progestins found in COCs on the viscoelasticity of whole blood clots, as well as erythrocyte morphology and membrane ultrastructure, in an in vitro laboratory study. Thromboelastography (TEG), light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were our chosen methods. Our results point out that progestins influence the rate of whole blood clot formation. Alterations to erythrocyte morphology and membrane ultrastructure suggest the presence of eryptosis. We also note increased rouleaux formation, erythrocyte aggregation, and spontaneous fibrin formation in whole blood which may explain the increased risk of VT associated with COC use. Although not all COC users will experience a thrombotic event, individuals with a thrombotic predisposition, due to inflammatory or hematological illness, should be closely monitored to prevent pathological thrombosis.
