Objective To study the dissociation of EDTA-dependent pseudo platelet aggregation by amikacin and to clarify the potential mechanism.Methods At different time points,two concentrations of amikacin (6.5 mg/ml and 10.0 mg/ml) were respectively added to EDTA-K2 anti-coagulated whole blood samples collected from two subjects with EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia.The aggregated-platelet dissociation was investigated by platelet count and microscopical examination.CD41,CD61,CD62p,PAC-1,and IgG on the platelets of the two patients and of a normal control were determined by the FCS under various conditions.Results When amikacin (6.5 mg/ml) was added within 1 hour after blood collection,it dissociated the EDTA induced platelet aggregation and the platelet counts returned to the normal level. The expression of CD62p,PAC-1,and PA-IgG on the platelets was decreased,yet the expression of CD41 and CD61 had no change.Conclusion Amikacin supplementation (6.5 mg/ml) within 1 hour after blood sampling may dissociate the aggregated platelets caused by EDTA. The mechanism may be associated that amikacin might inhibit the expression of CD62p,PAC-1,and PA-IgG on platelets. The amikacin supplementation would be an inexpensive,effective,and practical method to solve the platelet aggregation induced by EDTA.

This article analyzed, organizde, and summarized the specific meaning of yin and yang in Shang Han Lun, holding the idea that Zhongyang in Shang Han Lun contains fluid. YE Tian-shi's Tong Yang Bu Zai Wen Er Zai Li Xiao Bian is derived from Zhong jing method, and is more suitable to be used in damp-heat syndromes, reflecting that YE Tian-shi is not confined to traditional methods, but follows traditional prescriptions and flexible thoughts, which provides references for learning and flexibly applying prescription ideas.
