[The effect of eicosapentaenoic acid enriched marine oil on the platelet function in hypercoagulable state].

The effect of EPA enriched marine oil on platelet function in 12 cases of hypertension, 15 cases of diabetes and 20 cases of coronary heart disease is reported. The result of our study showed that there was platelet hyperfunction of various degrees in patients with those three kinds of diseases. The murine oil had an effect of inhibition, which were manifested by the prolongation on bleeding time, and decreased on platelet adhesion and aggregation. TxB2 in plasma was reduced, while 6-keto-PGF increased. There was no influence of EPA enriched fish oil on blood sugar and liver or kidney function. The authors concluded that platelet hyperfunction is an important element in the development of cardio vascular and cerebro vascular complications and increases the mortality rates in these diseases. Treatment with such a drug has beneficial effect with clinical improvement.

Inherited hypercoagulable states in children.

Disorders that predispose children to venous thrombosis include inherited abnormalities of antithrombin III, protein S, protein C, fibrinogen, and plasminogen. Arterial thrombosis may result from disorders that produce endothelial damage, abnormal vascular flow, or increased platelet aggregation. We present here a case of a child who had recurrent thromboses and discuss the evaluation and management of such patients.

Hypercoagulable state in the Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit, an animal model for the progression of atherosclerosis. Effect of probucol on coagulation.

Blood coagulation in a strain of rabbits designated as Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits was examined. The activities of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, contact factors and clotting factor VIII (F VIII) and the fibrinogen level were significantly higher in WHHL rabbits than in normolipidemic rabbits (all age groups). Values for vitamin K-dependent clotting factor were already higher at 2 months of age. Contact factors and fibrinogen levels increased age after 5 to 8 months. F VIII increased between 5 and 8 months and then decreased. At 2 months of age, WHHL rabbits were divided into two groups. Group A was fed standard rabbit chow and group B standard rabbit chow containing 1% probucol. Probucol prevented the progression of atherosclerosis in group B in the absence of a significant reduction in plasma cholesterol level. F VIII and fibrinogen levels were statistically decreased in all rabbits at all ages in group B (P less than 0.05). These differences in clotting factors between the two groups were most obvious at 8 months (P less than 0.02). We conclude that vitamin K-dependent clotting factors may increase with hyperlipemia and that increases in F VIII and fibrinogen may be closely related to the progression of thromboatherosclerosis.
