Detection and treatment of thrombotic diseases by activating platelet

Abstract

Nowadays thrombus has become one of the most prevalent diseases among the world, a large amount of population died of it. Thus, it is essential to improve the medical diagnose and treatment method to lower the morbidity as great as possible. Deep vein thrombus and artery thrombus, these two typical examples of thrombus will be given to illustrate the main methods of diagnose and treatment. In the stage of making diagnose, there are many traditional methods in medical fields like thrombelastogram, radiography, CT technology and X-rays. They are all proven medical technologies which can detect the thrombosis clearly through different principles. However, with the time goes by, Flow Cytometry, a new technology, has been developed through innumerable experiment and research. This technology is significant breakthrough in the history of blooding diagnose since it is more advanced than the classical method in many aspects. For instance, the thrombelastogram has low repeatability since it ‘s results are not always accurate; Radiography will cause risks since it will leave wounds for the patients; CT and X-rays are usually used in the phase of treatment but not in the early diagnose. Above all, it is better to combine these classical means with Flow Cytometry to make the diagnose more convenient and prevent getting thrombus as much as possible. For treatment of thrombus like Deep vein thrombus and artery thrombus, thrombolytic drugs, anticoagulant drugs, and antiplatelet drugs are mainly suggested. Other than those drugs, there are other drugs that may composed by other component are under ongoing research.
