Abstract:

Objective To investigate the feasibility of berberine(BB) in the treatment of Kawasaki disease(KD) in children,and to provide a reference for KD treatment. Methods A total of 71 ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid anticoagulant blood samples were collected from healthy children and children with KD,respectively. Platelet(PLT) rich plasma(PRP) was separated,which was washed with 0.9% NaCl and added with 5 mg/mL BB. Adenosine diphosphate was used to induce aggregation in vitro. The aggregation rate was determined. Results After BB was added,the PLT aggregation rate decreased with statistical significance(P<0.05). Conclusions BB has a good ability of anti-PLT aggregation in vitro. It can be considered to further investigate the application of BB in anti-thrombosis treatment of KD patients.
