Abstract
Colcemid was found to induce a dose and schedule dependent marrow magakaryocytosis and peripheral thrombocytosis. The response could be divided into early and late components. The early component appears to have been due to a direct stimulatory effect, probably by enhancement of endoreduplication in metaphase arrested megakaryocyte precursors. The ealy stimulatory response was blunted on toxic drug schedules. In contrast, the late component of the thrombopoietic response was demonstrated best on the most toxic drug schedules. It coincided temporally with the reactive restoration of the mononuclear marrow and blood cell elements, respectively. Thus, the late component appears to be a nonspecific rebound phenomenon. On comparing the thrombopoietic properties of Colcemid with those of the vinca alkaloids in experimental systems, the former appears to have a more favorable therapeutic index. The data suggest that colchicine and its derivatives may be useful agents in the treatment of clinical thrombocytopenic states.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
