Influência da coleta, da produção e da estocagem na qualidade dos concentrados de plaquetas Influence of collection, preparation and storage on the quality of platelet concentrates
In order to verify the viability of platelet concentrate during its preservation period when added with two trypanosomicidal chemical substances, gentian violet and quinoline WR6026, we tested these concentrates and verified the following parameters: number of platelets, pH and platelet aggregation test with a pair of agonists. Significant alterations were observed in the platelet concentrate treated with gentian violet suggesting important damage to the platelet viability. With WR6026 similar values to the controls were observed, opening new perspectives for the utilization of this salt for the chemoprophylaxis of transfusional Chagas' disease in highly endemic regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
