METHODPlatelet adhesion rates were measured with the rotating disk and chamber shown in Figure 1". A glass cover slip to which platelets adhered was attached to the disk face (E). The disk, 12 mm in diameter, was held on the support shaft (A) by means of a set screw. The support shaft and disk rotated on precision ball bearings which were pressed into an aluminum bearing housing (B). The bearing housing was able to slide freely in the support top (C) which was force-fit into the polycarbonate flow chamber (D). A circular recess (F), 14 mm in diameter and 2 mm deep was machined in the center of the chamber bottom such that the disk face was positioned midway into this depression when the bearing housing was at its lowest position. This recess allowed the disk to be submerged in a small quantity of fluid when blood entered the chamber, preventing the presence of a blood-air interface at the disk surface. Such an interface is believed to have deleterious effects on subsequent platelet adhesion (9). The supporting shaft was driven with an electric motor which was coupled to the shaft by means of inter-changeable timing belts and pulleys. The motor (GK Heller Co., Model 2T60–540) had a variable speed range of 100–4000 rpm and was regulated by an electronic controller (B and B Motor Co., SCR05). The motor and controller were such that operating speed could be reached and also returned to zero speed well within one second using electrical braking. Various sizes of pulleys were used to reduce the motor speed to as low as 50 rpm. Motor speed was determined by use of a stroboscope (Strobotac, General Radio Co.); however, whenever possible the rotational speed was checked by timing the revolutions with a stop watch. The complete experimental system for the measurement of platelet adhesion rates consisted of the rotating disk system, the experimental animal, and an acutely implanted shunt which connected the animal to the rotating disk system. The interconnection of these elements is shown in Figure 2. Prior to an experiment a mongrel dog was anesthetized by intravenous injection of sodium pentobarbital at a dose of 30 mg/Kg. Heparin, an anticoagulant which does not affect platelet adhesion, was administered to the animal with an initial dose of 10,000 units and thereafter continuously at a rate of 5,000 units/hr. Two blood vessels, either the femoral artery and vein or the carotid artery and jugular vein, were surgically exposed and each was cannulated with teflon tubing of 1/8" OD under sterile conditions. The teflon cannulae were connected to separate pieces of polyvinyl tubing of 1/8” ID and the ends of the polyvinyl tubing joined through 2 parts of a 3-way stopcock. This valve (V1) allowed blood to flow continuously between the artery and the vein or to be diverted from the artery into the flow chamber.Valve V1 was then connected to an additional piece of polyvinyl tubing to which another 3-way stopcock (V2) was attached. The remaining 2 ends of the second stopcock were connected to the lower portal of the flow chamber and a 30 ml syringe. Blood diverted from the artery could be directed to either the syringe or the flow chamber. Both V1 and V2 could be manually adjusted to allow both entrance of blood from the animal to the chamber and return of blood from the chamber back to the animal.
