Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an increasingly important food source and functional food. Platelet aggregation plays an important role in thrombogenesis and atherosclerosis. Here, we studied the anti-platelet aggregating effects of solvent extracts from Korean soybean varieties and isoflauone derivatives. Nine Korean soybean varieties were extracted by solvents (methanol and buthanol and their extracts was investigated for the inhibition against tile aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by collagen or thrombin. Maximal inhibition of buthanol extracts against platelet aggregation induced by collagen was $95\%$ in Black-kong and Jinpum - kong. The potency of their inhibition was in the following order : Black > Jinpum > Bokwang > Hwangkum > Pureun > Malli > Danbaek > Danyeob > Jangsu - kong. The Black - kong only seemed to produce the maximal inhibition against platelet aggregation induced by thrombin. Total isoflavone content measured was Jinpum-kong ($1347.8{\mu}g/g$) and Black-kong ($918.7{\mu}g/g$). Maximal inhibition of isoflavone derivatives against platelet aggregation induced by collagen was $97\%$ in genistein. The potency of their inhibition was in the following order: genistein>daidzein>genistin. The isoflavone derivatives did not affect the platelet aggregation induced by thrombin. However, Black-kong cortex seemed to Produce the optimal inhibition against platelet aggregation induced by collagen. These results suggest that Black-kong and Jinpum-kong may be a good source for antiplatelet agents, and their antiplatelet effect be related to tile content and the chemical structure with the number of -OH group and the attached glycoside in the isoflavone derivative.

The $CHCl_3$, EtOAc, and n-BuOH fractions showed a marked inhibition of 5% fatal bovine serum (FBS)-induced cell proliferation. The $IC_{50}$ values of the chloroform fractions from leaf, stem, and root as well as the n-BuOH and EtOAc fraction from root on cell proliferation were $1.2{\pm}0.4$, $17.2{\pm}6.4$, $81.8{\pm}33.2$, $40.8{\pm}8.0$, and $237.1{\pm}85.6\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. On the other hand, the EtOAc fractions, and the $CHCl_3$ fraction significantly inhibited collagen-, arachidonic acid-, U46619-, and thrombin-induced platelet aggregations. The $IC_{50}$ values of EtOAc fraction from leaf, and the $CHCl_3$ and EtOAc fraction from stem were $214.1{\pm}12.2$, $134.3{\pm}2.5$, and $42.6{\pm}7.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ with collagen, $312.4{\pm}7.5$, $158.9{\pm}1.7$, and $82.2{\pm}2.7\;{\mu}g/mL$ with arachidonic acid, $31.1{\pm}2.4$, $48.7{\pm}0.3$, and $29.7{\pm}1.1\;{\mu}g/mL$ with U46619, and $36.7{\pm}2.4$, $69.1{\pm}11.3$, and $34.2{\pm}0.1\;{\mu}g/mL$ with thrombin, respectively. Taken together, these data provide new evidence that fractions from Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum (AVP) are able to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and platelet aggregation, which may be a novel resource for the development of anti-atherothrombotic agents.

Objective : Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage is a life-threatening disease, and non-lesional spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage (nIPH) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are the leading causes of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. Only a few studies have assessed the association between prior physical activity or triggering events and the occurrence of nIPH or aSAH. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of specific physical activities and triggering events in the occurrence of nIPH and aSAH. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 824 consecutive patients with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage between January 2010 and December 2018. Among the 824 patients, 132 patients were excluded due to insufficient clinical data and other etiologies of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. The medical records of 692 patients were reviewed, and the following parameters were assessed : age, sex, history of hypertension, smoking, history of stroke, use of antiplatelet or anticoagulation agents, season and time of onset, physical activities performed according to the metabolic equivalents, and triggering event at onset. Events that suddenly raised the blood pressure such as sudden postural changes, defecation or urination, sexual intercourse, unexpected emotional stress, sauna bath, and medical examination were defined as triggering events. These clinical data were compared between the nIPH and aSAH groups. Results : Both nIPH and aSAH most commonly occurred during non-strenuous physical activity, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (p=0.524). Thirty-two patients (6.6%) in the nIPH group and 39 patients (8.1%) in the aSAH group experienced triggering events at onset, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.034). The most common triggering events were defecation or urination in both groups. Conclusion : Specific physical activity dose no affect the incidence of nIPH and aSAH. The relationship between the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage and triggering events is higher in aSAH than nIPH.
