Abstract:
A two-step-acid-catalyzed-self-assembly method was used to prepare cerium-containing mesoporous bioactive glass with P123 as a template. The results showed that MBG without cerium and MBG with cerium slightly affected its surface area, and its water absorption rate was significantly higher. In vitro coagulation experiments showed that Ce-MBG significantly reduces prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), indicating that MBG containing Ce could promote coagulation and platelet adhesion compared with MBG. These suggested that Ce-MBG may be a good dressing with hemostatic properties, which could shorten the bleeding time of the wound and control the bleeding.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...
Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...
