Rheometer Test

Ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure. However, patients who undergo long-term application of VADs experience a series of VAD-related adverse effects including pump thrombosis, which is induced by rotate impeller-caused blood cell injury and hemolysis. Blood cell trauma-related flow patterns are the key mechanism for understanding thrombus formation. In this study, we established a new method to evaluate the blood cell damage and investigate the real-time characteristics of blood flow patterns in vitro using rheometer and bionic microfluidic devices. The variation of plasma free hemoglobin (PFH) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the rheometer test showed that high shear stress was the main factor causing erythrocyte membrane injury, while the long-term exposure of high shear stress further aggravated this trauma. Following this rheometer test, the damaged erythrocytes were collected and injected into a bionic microfluidic device. The captured images of bionic microfluidic device tests showed that with the increase of shear stress suffered by the erythrocyte, the migration rate of damaged erythrocyte in bionic microchannel significantly decreased and, meanwhile, aggregation of erythrocyte was clearly observed. Our results indicate that mechanical shear stress caused by erythrocyte injury leads to thrombus formulation and adhesion in arterioles.

Arteries And Veins

A model is proposed by which the formation of the vascular network in animals proceeds via progressive penetration of the vessel ramification into a capillary mesh, by means of a laplacian growth mechanism of hydrodynamical origin. In this model, the growth of both arteries and veins follows the directions of high shear stress provoked by the blood flow on the endothelial wall of a pre-existing capillary mesh. This process is shown to be identical to the phenomenon of dendritic growth, which is responsible for the formation of such well-known patterns as dendritic crystals, lightning sparks or branching aggregates of bacteria. A number of straightforward consequences of potentially important medical and physiological interests are deduced. These include the natural and spontaneous organization of the arterial and venal trees, the spontaneous and unavoidable tropism of arteries towards veins and vice-versa, the hierarchical character of the vessels and the possibility of computerized prediction of the vascular pattern from the shape of the capillary bed.

Induced Aggregation

Antiplatelet agents are important in the pharmacotherapeutic regime for many cardiovascular diseases, including thrombotic disorders. However, bleeding, the most serious adverse effect associated with current antiplatelet therapy, has led to many efforts to discover novel anti-platelet drugs without bleeding issues. Of note, shear stress-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) is a promising target to overcome bleeding since SIPA happens only in pathological conditions. Accordingly, this study was carried out to discover antiplatelet agents selectively targeting SIPA. By screening various herbal extracts, Paeonia suffruticosa and its major bioactive constituent, paeoniflorin, were identified to have significant inhibitory effects against shear-induced aggregation in human platelets. The effects of paeoniflorin on intraplatelet calcium levels, platelet degranulation, and integrin activation in high shear stress conditions were evaluated by a range of in vitro experiments using human platelets. The inhibitory effect of paeoniflorin was determined to be highly selective against SIPA, through modulating von Willebrand Factor (vWF)-platelet glycoprotein Ib (GP Ib) interaction. The effects of paeoniflorin on platelet functions under high shear stress were confirmed in the ex vivo SIPA models in rats, showing the good accordance with the anti-SIPA effects on human platelets. Treatment with paeoniflorin significantly prevented arterial thrombosis in vivo from the dose of 10 mg/kg without prolonging bleeding time or blood clotting time in rats. Collectively, our results demonstrated that paeoniflorin can be a novel anti-platelet agent selectively targeting SIPA with an improved safety profile.
