Popis: Cellulose is one of the hemostyptic biomaterials, which are able to initiate or accelerate blood coagulation at the site of their application. It belongs to surgical sealants. The mechanism of its action is not clearly understood. We studied the participation of blood platelets in this mechanism. As a marker of platelet activation we used serotonin release reaction. Serotonin release in platelet rich plasma incubated with various concentrations of oxidized cellulose (0.5%-2.0%) started in about 20 min. Washed platelets were not directly activated by oxidized cellulose within one hour. Washed platelets reconstituted in plasma obtained from two patients with coagulation factor XII deficiency were activated by oxidized cellulose with a prolonged lag phase. Our results demonstrate the significant influence of factor XII on blood platelets activation by oxidized cellulose.
