SummaryThis is a comparative study of the methods described by H. P. Wright and O’Brien for determining the adhesiveness of thrombocytes. An attempt is made to characterize and statistically correlate both techniques. With the aid of a Coulter Counter for thrombocyte counts, a normal range is presented for human, rat, and rabbit blood. Anticoagulants used are sodium citrate and Heparin.The influence of Cocaine and the Serotonin antagonist Ro 3-0837 was studied on these same substrates, to determine a pharmacological interference with results of either Wright’s test or O’Brien’s. Both drugs are found to induce a statistically significant increase in the “thrombocyte count” as compared to the corresponding controls. These effects are not real but to be attributed to an increase in particle count due to thrombocyte fragmentation as a consequence of drug application. There is no evidence for the claim that these drugs decrease the adhesiveness of thrombocytes.Numerical results of both tests often show a high and statistically significant correlation, especially following the addition of Ro 3-0837. Such is not true of individual blood samples to which no drug has been added. Evidentally, both tests are not specific for the same characteristic of normal blood platelets. But, when Ro 3-0837 is added, the breakdown of unstable platelets is induced; and the corresponding increase in count of thrombocyte fragments is expressed by both tests in the same fashion.

Blood Platelet Aggregation

SummaryThe effect of calcium and magnesium on the aggregation of rabbit blood platelets in vitro was studied, with the following results:1. Platelet aggregation induced by ADP or collagen could be prevented by EGTA or EDTA. The aggregating effect was restored by recalcification. The effect was also restored by addition of magnesium in EDTA-PRP, but not in EGTA-PRP unless a surplus of calcium was present.2. Calcium remained in concentrations of the order of 0.15–0.25 mM after dialysis or cation exchange of plasma. Aggregation of washed platelets resuspended in such plasma could not be produced with ADP or collagen, unless the calcium concentration was increased or that magnesium was added.3. The adhesiveness of blood platelets to collagen was reduced in EGTA-PRP and EDTA-PRP. Release of ADP from platelets influenced by collagen could not be demonstrated either in EGTA-PRP (presence of magnesium) or in EDTA-PRP.4. It is concluded that calcium is a necessary factor both for the reaction leading to release of ADP and for the the aggregation produced by ADP.5. Thrombin induced aggregation of washed platelets suspended in tris-buffered saline in the presence of calcium. No effect of magnesium could be observed unless small quantities of calcium were present.

The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the hemolysing action of Naja nigricollis venom on rabbit blood. To carry out this study, three batches of three rabbits were formed with two control batches and one experimental batch. Each control lot is composed of three rabbits (males or females) while the experimental lot is composed of two males and one female. Each rabbit from the control lots was separately collected in the purple tube (EDTA) and transported to the laboratory for analysis. The rabbits from the experimental batch were also collected distinctly a few minutes after the injection of the venom of Naja nigricollis for the analysis of haematological parameters. However, before the analysis of the hematological parameters of the rabbits from the control and experimental batches, an in vitro hemolysis test of Naja nigricollis venom was performed to verify its hemolysing power. The results showed that Naja nigricollis venom has a dose-dependent in vitro hemolysing power. As for the haemogram, it revealed that the venom of Naja nigricollis has a decreasing effect on blood cells (red and white blood cells), on haemoglobin and on haematocrit, and an elevation on MGVs thus promoting anaemia.

During incubation with rabbit blood in vitro rabbit-muscle lactate dehydrogenase-5 was inactivated at a rate similar to that observed in vivo. By contrast plasma and plasma containing erythrocytes had no effect on the enzyme activity, but plasma containing leucocytes inactivated the enzyme at the same rate as whole blood. The results obtained support the concept that intravascular inactivation accounts for the disappearance of enzymes from the circulation.
