Increased plasma levels of fibrinogen in acute and chronic ischemic coronary syndromes.
1999
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pathophysiological role of fibrinogen in patients with chronic or acute ischemic coronary syndromes on the basis of epidemiological and clinical evidences showing the importance of fibrinogen as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis progression. METHODS: We evaluated the behavior of plasma fibrinogen in 310 hospitalized patients with 1) acute myocardial infarction (n = 98); 2) unstable angina (n = 87); 3) chronic ischemic heart disease (n = 75); and 4) in controls without myocardial ischemia (n = 50). Fibrinogen was evaluated, by using the Clauss method, on day 1 and 5 during in hospital-stay and at 6-month follow…

Protein Adsorption Hysteresis and Transient States of Fibrinogen and BMP-2 as Model Mechanisms for Proteome-Binding to Implants
2020
Abstract Protein adsorption studies returned to the focus of medical therapeutics, when it was found that up to 2500 non-plasma proteins adsorbed to hip implants during arthroplastic surgery, challenging peri-implant healing models. Questions have re-emerged as to the implications of uncontrolled protein unfolding after adsorption. In past studies on the cooperativity of protein binding we discovered protein adsorption hysteresis, a thermodynamically irreversible process. The present precursory study comprises real-time kinetic (TIRF-Rheometry) and equilibrium (125I-tracer ) studies on the hysteretic binding of fibrinogen and rhBMP-2 to titanium and glass surfaces via transient states. Ther…
Should inflammatory pathways be targeted for the prevention and treatment of hypertension?
2019
Hypertension is the most common modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD)1 and is a leading cause of death globally.2 Hypertension and CVD share common antecedent risk factors which include physical inactivity, obesity and excess alcohol intake.3 Though these established risk factors explain a large proportion of hypertension risk, its pathogenesis is still not fully established as it appears that other additional lifestyle and genetic factors may be involved. There is therefore a need to identify and evaluate putative risk factors that may increase our knowledge of hypertension development, may have causal or predictive relevance, and which will help develop preventive and ma…
Laboratory testing in the emergency department: an Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (SIBioC) and Academy of Em…
2018
Abstract Background: The mainstay of patient-oriented laboratory testing in emergency settings entails selecting a number and the type of tests according to valid criteria of appropriateness. Since the pattern of urgent tests requesting is variable across different institutions, we designed a joined survey between the Academy of Emergency Medicine and Care (AcEMC) and the Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (SIBioC) for reaching tentative consensus about the most informative diagnostic tests in emergency settings. Methods: A survey, containing the most commonly ordered urgent laboratory tests and the relative clinical indications, was disseminated to eigh…
