[Structural and functional characteristics of thrombocytes in chronic ischemic heart disease]. 1993

A S Gavrish, and O V Sergienko, and T I Ivashchenko, and E N Poradun

Platelets from 103 patients with chronic coronary heart disease were studied electron microscopically, cytochemically, fluorescence microscopically and with radionuclides. The platelets showed polymorphism indicated by diverse sizes, various content of alpha-granules in platelets, emergence of degenerative hyperosmiophilic forms. Shorter life cycle of the platelets was observed in line with a compensatory increase in the number of their immature forms. Abundance of reversibly and irreversibly activated and degranulated cells impaired platelet aggregation. These changes entailed rearrangement of platelet glycocalyx. The findings evidence noticeable structural shifts in platelets which diminish their resistance to factors stimulating atherogenesis and underlying aggravations of coronary heart disease.

D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
