This study aims to develop a novel regimen for enhanced efficacy and reduced side effect in inhibiting platelet aggregation and blood coagulation by concurrent administration of triflusal and ibudilast as anticoaggulants. The result shows this combination of triflusal and ibudilast (300~500 ${\mu}M$, respectively) has additive effect in inhibiting platelet aggregation and blood coagulation over the administration of truflusal or ibdilast as a single treatment. This pharmaceutical composition is expected to be useful for the prevention or treatment of various diseases and symptoms, for example, ischemic heart disease, ischemic cerebral infarction, arteriosclerosis, and thrombosis caused by the insertion of a stent.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of garlic diet on blood coagulation in cholesterol-fed rats. 36 male rats were divided into six groups and fed experimental diet for three weeks. Two-levels (2% and 4%) of fresh and boiled garlic were supplemented to the stock diet with 2% cholesterol and 0.25% bile salt for the experimental diet. After the rats fed with experimental diets during 3 weeks, the whole blood coagulation time, the content of plasma fibrinogen, the fibrinolytic activity and the prothrombin time were measured. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Garlic diet have no influence on body weight and food consumption in rats. 2. In the case of cholesterol-fed group, the whole blood coagulation time was decreased 24.3% compared with the normal group(A). But garlic diet group(C) was similar to the normal group(A) and groupD-F was increased 4.9-11.5%. 3. The content of plasma fibrinogen of cholesterol-fed group was higher 114.5% than that of normal gropu(A). In the garlic diets(C-F) the contents of plasma fibrinogen were increased 33.1-63.8%. 4. The fibrinolytic activity of cholesterol diet was decreased 16.2% compared with the normal group(A) but was increased 10.9-44.5% compared to the garlic diets(C-F). 5. The prothrombin time of cholesterol-fed group was decreased 8.9% compared with normal group(A) but was increased 8.0-46.3% in garlic diets(C-F). As mentioned above, the garlic diets increased whole blood coagulation time, prothrombin time and fibrinolytic activity and decreased the content of fibrinogen. For that reason it is thought that the garlic diets have a anticoagulation effect regulating the fibrinogen synthesis in liver.

A study on relation of angiogenesis and blood stagnation in cancer was done, and the results were as follows. 1. Angiogenesis is a sequence of vascular proliferation and accomplished by regulation of anti-angiogenesis factor and indicating factor. These factors are secreted in the course of blood coagulation, inflammation, and regeneration. 2. Angiogenesis in cancer is a important action in growth of tumor and metastasis because it supply oxygen and nutrition. 3. The complicated processes, for example, platelet coagulation, action of coagulator factor & dissolution factor and interaction of variety factors are related to blood stasis and promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis in oriental medicine. 4. Promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis is expected to suppress angiogenesis, and we expect advanced study will be accomplished in future.

Clotting properties of human blood are important clinical information to monitor for patients with platelet and coagulation disorders. Most devices used to diagnose these disorders utilize blood plasma together with tissue factors and $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ additives. In some instruments, magnetic particles were mixed with blood samples and a rotating magnetic field was applied, resulting in the rotation of magnetic particles, which was probed by impinging light. The working principle seems obvious yet had not been investigated in depth. We modeled the collective behavior of light propagating through magnetic needles, aligned in the direction of the rotating external magnetic field, with scattering light analysis software. Simulation results indicated that the scattering pattern undergoes periodic undulations with respect to the slant angle of the magnetic needles. Also provided is a means of extracting meaningful information from the scattering measurement.

The coagulation factor activity compared two groups of the lower 10% (29.1~30.9 sec) and the upper 10% (38.0~41.9 sec) of the normal reference range of aPTT. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sex, age, and ABO blood type on coagulation factor activity. There was significant difference in the activity of the coagulation factor assay based on age. The VIII (p<0.0001) and IX (p=0.0050) in the lower group of samples from those over sixty years of age is higher than from those under sixty. In contrast, XII (p=0.0285) for samples over sixty was lower than for samples under sixty. While in the upper group V (p=0.0219), VIII (p=0.0005), and IX (p=0.0014) for samples from the over sixty group was higher than those under sixty. In the case of activity of coagulation factor between O and non-O blood type, VIII (p<0.001) activity of the non-O blood type was higher than that of the O blood type in the both groups. The XII (p=0.016) activity of non-O blood type was lower than that of O blood type in the upper group. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, when other variables are under the same conditions between lower and upper groups, there is a strong possibility for the lower group when activity of V (p=0.001), VIII (p<0.001), X (p<0.001) and XII (p<0.001) is increased. Furthermore, there is also a strong possibility of upper group when activity of II (p=0.004) and IX (p=0.012) is increased. However, no significant difference in between sex, age and XI was observed.

Background: Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has been widely used to prevent the massive blood loss during hepatic carcinoma. The influences of ANH on coagulation function are still controversy, especially in elderly patients. The study observed ANH effects on coagulation function and fibrinolysis in elderly patients undergoing the disease. Materials and Methods: Thirty elderly patients (aged 60-70 yr) with liver cancer (ASA I or II) taken hepatic carcinectomy from February 2007 to February 2008 were randomly divided into ANH group (n=15) and control group (n=15). After tracheal intubation, patients in ANH group and control group were infused with 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) and Ringer's solution, respectively. Blood samples were drawn from patients in both groups at five different time points: before anesthesia induction (T1), 30 min after ANH (T2), 1 h after start of operation (T3), immediately after operation (T4), and 24 h after operation (T5). Then coagulation function, soluble fibrin monomer complex (SFMC), prothrombin fragment (F1+2), and platelet membrane glycoprotein (CD62P and activated GP IIb/GP IIIa) were measured. Results: The perioperative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion were recorded during the surgery. The perioperative blood loss was not significantly different between two groups (p>0.05), but the volume of allogeneic blood transfusion in ANH group was significantly less than in control group ($350.0{\pm}70.7$) mL vs. ($457.0{\pm}181.3$) mL (p<0.01). Compared with the data of T1, the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) measured after T3 were significantly longer (p<0.05) in both groups, but within normal range. There were no significant changes of thrombin time (TT) and D-dimer between two groups at different time points (p>0.05). SFMC and F1+2 increased in both groups, but were not statistically significant. PAC-1-positive cells and CD62P expressions in patients of ANH group were significantly lower than those at T1 (p<0.05) and T2-T5 (p>0.05). Conclusions: ANH has no obvious impact on fibrinolysis and coagulation function in elderly patients undergoing resection of liver cancer. The study suggested that ANH is safe to use in elderly patients and it could reduce allogeneic blood transfusion.

Effects on thrombin by an amphipathic cation, dequalinium, which has been recognized as an anticarcinoma agent were investigated with small chromogenic substrates such as Na-benzoyl-DL-argininep-nitroanilide (BApNA), H-D-phenylalanyl-L-pipecoyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide (S-2238), and Na-p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (TAME). Among them, only TAME hydrolysis due to an esterase activity of the enzyme was significantly activated to 81% at 20 ${\mu}M$ dequalinium in the absence of NaCl. This stimulation became even higher in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl to 3.5-fold at 60 ${\mu}M$ dequalinium. This specific activation of thrombin was well correlated with the results of in vitro coagulation tests measuring the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and the prothrombin time (PT) It is pertinent. therefore, to suggest that the esterase activity should be examined in addition to the effects on 5-2238 hydrolysis when especially any regulators not directed to an active site of thrombin need to be studied. We also expect that dequalinium could be a useful tool for studying structure-function relationship of thrombin and blood coagulation.
