## Abstract Poly(__N__,__N__βdimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) brushes are successfully grown from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (uPVC) by wellβcontrolled surfaceβinitiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SIβATRP). Molecular weights of the grafted PDMA brushes vary fromβββ35β000 to 2β170β000 Da

## Abstract Surface modification of cellulose acetate dialysis membranes was carried out by ^60^Co radiation induced graft copolymerization of the hydrogel, hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The degree of grafting was controlled by varying the HEMA monomer concentration in the grafting solution and
Platelet adhesion to biomaterials is often used as an index of blood compatibility, but a more clinically relevant issue is whether the adherent platelets are able to promote clot formation (i.e., if they are in the procoagulant state). Platelets rapidly generate thrombin when they are in the procoa
Two different adhesion patterns of blood platelets with different sensitivity to adenosine were demonstrated by means of reflection contrast microscopy with consecutive image analysis and cell affinity chromatography. High-performance liquid chromatography revealed that thrombin-induced serotonin re
Serotonin induces platelet activation. Purified apoprotein E of 300 pg/ml prevented morphological alterations of blood platelets stimulated with serotonin (5 pM). Lower concentrated apoprotein E showed no such clear effects. These findings suggest that apoprotein E may liter atherosclerosis by suppr
