After understanding platelet activation function, this article will now introduce the clinical significance of platelet activation. Normal platelet activation and aggregation are necessary defense mechanisms that help with hemostasis and repair of damaged blood vessels. However, excessive activation can lead to thrombotic disorders. Modern clinical research has shown that many diseases, especially...
Cluster of Differentiation (CD Markers), as small proteins secreted by immune cells, play a key role in maintaining immune system stability and regulating pathological processes. It has a wide range of clinical applications, including auxiliary diagnosis, prognosis assessment, identification of infectious sources, early warning of cytokine storms, and monitoring of tumor immunity. In addition, the...
The bactericidal ability of HBP as well as the heparin-binding ability are related to its strong positive charge. HBP, as a chemotactic substance, can activate monocytes and macrophages, induce vascular leakage and tissue edema. Inactivating HBP blocks endothelial hyperosmocyte hyperpermeability caused by neutrophils. At present, HBP, as an acute phase protein, is an effective biomarker to assess ...
Infectious diseases are one of the common diseases in the emergency department, and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection is the most fundamental pathophysiological change in sepsis. Due to the complexity of the systemic inflammatory response, there are no ideal diagnostic, stratification, prognostic tools, and effective treatment options. A number of studies have demonst...
Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease Hypertension: one of the main controllable risk factors, accounting for 50% of cardiovascular disease morbidity and 20% of deaths, but the awareness rate is only 46.9%, and the blood pressure control rate is even lower to 15.3%. Dyslipidemia: Studies have shown that the awareness, treatment and control rates of dyslipidemia in ≥ 18-year-olds need to...
