SummaryIn dilute suspensions of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or gel-separated platelets (GSP), dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP) and monobutyryl-cAMP inhibited platelet-mediated fibrin clot retraction in concentrations of 2–3 × 10–6M, with complete inhibition at 1–3 × 10–4M. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which inhibited fibrin clot retraction in concentrations greater than 1.5–3 × 10–8M, was a more effective inhibitor than either PGE2 or PGF2α. In the presence of theophylline (10–4M), concentrations of DBcAMP, PGE1 PGE2 and PGF2α necessary to inhibit fibrin clot retraction were reduced 50-fold for DBcAMP and 2.5 to 20-fold for the prostaglandins. In dilute PRP or GSP, inhibition of fibrin clot retraction does not result from inhibition of thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Thus, compounds which increase platelet cAMP levels result in the inhibition of platelet-mediated fibrin clot retraction, and this inhibitory effect may be mediated, at least in part, through suppression of platelet contractility. Cyclic GMP, dibutyryl-cGMP and carbamylcholine-Cl (which stimulates guanylate cyclase) did not influence fibrin clot retraction, and did not prevent inhibition of fibrin clot retraction by DBcAMP and PGE?. Colchicine, in concentrations known to disrupt platelet microtubules (2.5 × 10–6M to 2.5 x 10–3M), had little inhibitory effect on either fibrin clot retraction or platelet (3H)-serotonin release.

In the scope of studies that investigate the effects of manipulation in verbal antecedents upon the related non verbal behavior, the present study evaluated the effect of differential reinforcement of one response class (choice of phrases about positive aspects about reading, interpreted as tacts with positive qualifying autoclitics) upon other class (the choice of reading behavior), reinforcing choices of phrases about positive aspects of reading and observing its effects upon the emission of reading behavior. It were registered activities and photographs chosen before and after the training. During training, four phrases appeared in a computer screen and just the choice of one of them (related to reading) was reinforced with points. The results indicated an augment of the choices in reading behavior as well as in the time of reading for the majority of the participants and an augment of the choices of choosing photographs related to reading, when compared to the results of the baseline. The results are interpreted according to behavior verbally governed.

Check-in/Check-Out (CICO) has a long line of research evidence demonstrating its effectiveness in increasing prosocial behavior. The current paper demonstrated an electronic application of CICO utilizing Google Sheets® with teacher feedback. Google Sheets® offers an inexpensive, collaborative, and remote method for tracking behaviors. In the first study, 2,322 teacher ratings (from 38 teachers) were compared between traditional paper CICO forms or electronic Google Sheets®. Results found that teacher ratings were significantly more complete with the use of the electronic forms. In the second study, an electronic CICO form was used for progress monitoring and performance feedback with a middle school student. Through the form we were able to successfully track our participant’s behavior change in response to CICO with the combination of feedback and a differential reinforcement intervention. Social validity showed that overall teacher ratings were high with respect to ease of use, usefulness, cost-effectiveness, and convenience of the electronic Google Sheets®.
