To confirm the activation of platelets (PLT) and explore the role of activated PLT in post-dissection inflammation.
An acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) canine model was established. Mean platelet volume/platelet count (MPV/PTC), platelet size distribution width (PDW), and inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] and interleukin-6 [IL-6]) were measured between anesthetization and thoracotomy (T1), at the end of the operation (T2), and at 2 h (T3), 4 h (T4), and 6 h (T5) after the operation. Bivariate analysis was used to determine the correlations between the peak MPV/PTC, PDW, and inflammatory cytokines at T4.
An AAD canine model was successfully established. Both MPV/PTC and PDW values were significantly higher at T3-T5 than at T1 (P < 0.05). Both were also significantly higher at T3-T5 in the dissection group than in the sham operation (SO) group (P < 0.05). Inflammatory cytokine levels were remarkably higher at T3-T5 than at T1, and were higher at T3-T5 in both the dissection and the SO group (P < 0.05). Bivariate analysis demonstrated positive correlations between MPV/PTC and both TNF-α (r = 0.826, P = 0.011) and IL-6 (r = 0.806, P = 0.016).
Activated PLT were identified after AAD, and played a critical role in the initiation of post-dissection inflammation.
确认血小板(PLT)的激活,并探讨活化血小板在夹层分离后炎症中的作用。
建立急性A型主动脉夹层(AAD)犬模型。在麻醉与开胸手术之间(T1)、手术结束时(T2)以及术后2小时(T3)、4小时(T4)和6小时(T5)测量平均血小板体积/血小板计数(MPV/PTC)、血小板体积分布宽度(PDW)和炎性细胞因子(肿瘤坏死因子-α [TNF-α]和白细胞介素-6 [IL-6])。采用双变量分析确定T4时MPV/PTC、PDW峰值与炎性细胞因子之间的相关性。
成功建立AAD犬模型。T3 - T5时MPV/PTC和PDW值均显著高于T1(P < 0.05)。夹层分离组T3 - T5时两者也显著高于假手术(SO)组(P < 0.05)。T3 - T5时炎性细胞因子水平显著高于T1,夹层分离组和SO组T3 - T5时均较高(P < 0.05)。双变量分析显示MPV/PTC与TNF-α(r = 0.826,P = 0.011)和IL-6(r = 0.806,P = 0.016)均呈正相关。
AAD后可识别出活化血小板,其在夹层分离后炎症的起始中起关键作用。
