## Abstract Excellent in vivo thromboresistance has been obtained for FEP Teflon and for a polyether urethane prepared with electronegative surfaces using the electret effect. In vitro tissue culture studies have shown a marked improvement in tissue compatibility for negatively electrified Teflon.
## Abstract The effects of the antimicrotubular drugs colchicine and vinblastine on the blood platelet release reaction were studied by measuring release of ^14^C‐5‐hydroxytryptamine (^14^C‐5‐HT, release I) and β‐glucuronidase (release II) from gel‐filtered human platelets. β‐glucuronidase release
## Abstract Native (n) but not single stranded (ss) DNA was found to induce release of ^3^H‐serotonin (5‐HT) from platelets of the majority of normal individuals. However, ssDNA markedly enhanced 5‐HT release induced by heat‐aggregated IgG (aggIgG), while less enhancement was seen using nDNA. Simil
