In macular degeneration disease of the eye, we have studied the behaviour of vitro thrombocyte aggregation/deaggregation and ex vivo plasma beta-thromboglobulin level (Born aggregometer, RIA kit) during administration of an antiaggregant platelet drug (ticlopidine). We have observed the presence of a prothrombotic state that improves after 15 days of administration of drug. In fact platelet aggregation and beta-thromboglobulin level significantly decrease while thrombocyte deaggregation significantly increase. The correlations between deaggregation, aggregation and beta-thromboglobulin level suggest that the antiaggregant action of the ticlopidine is linked to the inhibition of platelet release reaction.

D008268 Macular Degeneration Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010314 Partial Thromboplastin Time The time required for the appearance of FIBRIN strands following the mixing of PLASMA with phospholipid platelet substitute (e.g., crude cephalins, soybean phosphatides). It is a test of the intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII) and the common pathway (fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors V and X) of BLOOD COAGULATION. It is used as a screening test and to monitor HEPARIN therapy.

D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
