  2. Background: Platelet transfusions are essential in the management of thrombocytopenia, bleeding disorders, and hematologic malignancies. With cannabis use rising worldwide, its impact on donor platelet quality and transfusion efficacy remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of cannabis joint extracts (CJE) on platelet activation, pro-coagulant phenotype, mitochondrial function, and cytokine/chemokine release, with implications for transfusion safety. Methods: Human platelets were exposed in vitro to increasing concentrations of two CJE with distinct cannabinoid profiles: Orchid (O-CJE, THC 10.4%, CBD 14.7%) and QCGold (G-CJE, THC 25.5%, CBD 0.04%). Platelet activation (CD62P, Annexin V), mitochondrial depolarization, ATP levels, aggregation responses, and cytokine secretion (CCL3, PF4) were assessed. RBC lysate experiments were performed to assess the role of hemolysis. The involvement of CB1 and CB2 receptors was tested using specific antagonists, and activation of p38 MAPK and NF-kB pathways was evaluated. Functional effects of platelet supernatants were examined on EA.hy926 endothelial cells. Results: CJE exposure induced dose-dependent platelet activation, characterized by increased CD62P expression, Annexin V binding, mitochondrial depolarization, and ATP depletion, consistent with metabolic stress. Platelet aggregation in response to ADP, collagen, and arachidonic acid was impaired, suggesting a pre-activated or refractory phenotype. RBC lysate did not reproduce the observed effects, indicating hemolysis is unlikely to be the underlying mechanism. CBR1 and CBR2 antagonists did not attenuate platelet activation, while signalling analysis revealed activation of p38 MAPK and NF-kB pathways. Exploratory proteomics indicated modulation of proteins involved in angiogenesis, cytoskeletal organization, and stress responses. Elevated plasma levels of CCL3 and PF4 and endothelial activation (IL-6 secretion, CD54, CD62P, CD62E expression) further suggested a pro-inflammatory environment. Conclusions: Cannabis exposure can alter platelet phenotype and signalling under in vitro conditions, potentially affecting platelet function and interactions with the vascular endothelium. However, these findings require confirmation in vivo to determine their clinical relevance. Future studies should aim to establish exposure thresholds and clarify whether cannabis use has implications for transfusion safety, given potential risks of reduced efficacy or increased thrombotic complications in recipients.

  5. Objective: To investigate the use of biological ensiling of organic residues generated by pectiniculture as a nutritive medium in the production of the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica. Theoretical Framework: Biological ensiling is a process that transforms organic residues into a nutritive source through fermentation. In this context, pectiniculture residues, specifically the soft parts of fan shells, can be recycled and used as alternative media. Microalgae, such as T. suecica, are photosynthetic organisms that require nutrients for their growth, and their cultivation can benefit from these residues. Method: Twelve vertical bioreactors were used with three experimental treatments (T1, T2, T3) and treatments, one control (CT), with three replicates per treatment. The microalgae were inoculated at a density of 70 x 104 cells mL-1 in a culture volume of 80 L. Cultures were grown in open air with constant aeration. 0-, 60-, 70-, and 80-mL L-1 of the biological silage of fan shell soft parts (EBCA) were dosed. The silage was also chemically characterized and the growth of the microalgae and its relationship with temperature, salinity and pH were determined. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the dosage of 70 mL L-1 of EBCA in T. suecica cultures favors the growth of the microalgae. A significant increase in biomass and cell density was observed compared to the other treatments, indicating that this concentration of silage provides a suitable nutrient medium. The study also analyzed how temperature, salinity and pH conditions affect the growth of T. suecica, finding that certain optimal ranges of these factors can maximize biomass production. Research Implications: Our study demonstrates that pectin culture waste can be effectively recycled as a culture medium for T. suecica production, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for waste management. This could reduce reliance on traditional culture media and promote more sustainable practices in aquaculture and the microalgal industry. Originality/Value: This study stands out for its innovative approach in the use of organic waste from pectiniculture, such as the soft parts of the fan shell, for the generation of an alternative nutrient medium for microalgae. In addition, large volumes of fan shell wastes are currently being generated, so our work contributes to the management of these wastes.
