0070] In this case, the analyzing section 42 determines whether or not the aggregability of the platelets is good depending on whether the shortening width (or delay width) Δt of the blood coagulation time of the sample blood to which the platelet activating agent etc. is added is larger or smaller than the reference value (Δts). Specifically, the analyzing section 42 determines that the aggregability of the platelets is high if the shortening width Δt of the blood coagulation time of the sample blood to which the platelet activating agent is added is larger than the reference value (Δts). Conversely, the analyzing section 42 determines that the aggregability of the platelets is low if the shortening width Δt is smaller than the reference value (Δts). Alternatively, the analyzing section 42 determines that the aggregability of the platelets is high if the delay width Δt of the blood coagulation time of the sample blood to which the platelet inactivating agent is added is larger than the ...

Platelets play a major role in the complex interactions involved in blood coagulation via multiple mechanisms. As reported in this issue, Schoergenhofer et al. tested the hypothesis that platelet inhibition by prasugrel, a potent platelet P2Y12 ADP receptor antagonist, attenuates the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the blood coagulation system in healthy human subjects. LPS, a bacterial product with potent pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic effects, plays a central role in sepsis. It activates monocytes and endothelial cells via Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and other TLRs to stimulate production of TF and other pro-coagulant molecules, chemokines and cytokines. Treatment with prasugrel did not decrease biomarkers of coagulaion. A better understanding of the relative roles of platelet and coagulation mechanisms in triggering the pro-thrombotic state may lead to more effective antithrombotic strategies. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Activation of blood coagulation in autoimmune skin disorders. AU - Cugno, Massimo. AU - Tedeschi, Alberto. AU - Crosti, Carlo. AU - Marzano, Angelo V.. PY - 2009/9. Y1 - 2009/9. N2 - The immune system and blood coagulation are simultaneously activated in several inflammatory systemic disorders, such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, induce the expression of tissue factor, the main initiator of blood coagulation. Activated proteases of coagulation in turn act on protease-activated receptors, inducing the expression of various proinflammatory cytokines. This cross-talk between inflammation and coagulation amplifies and maintains the activation of both systems. This review focuses on three skin disorders: chronic urticaria (CU), which is considered autoimmune in approximately 50% of cases, bullous pemphigoid (BP), which is the prototype of autoimmune blistering disease, and psoriasis, ...

Blood coagulation functions as part of the innate immune system by preventing bacterial invasion and it is critical to stopping blood loss (hemostasis). Coagulation involves the external membrane surface of activated platelets and leukocytes. Using lipidomic, genetic, biochemical, and mathematical modeling approaches, we found that enzymatically oxidized phospholipids (eoxPLs) generated by the activity of leukocyte or platelet lipoxygenases (LOXs) were required for normal hemostasis and promoted coagulation factor activities in a Ca2+- and phosphatidylserine (PS)- dependent manner. In wild-type mice, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid-phospholipids (HETE-PLs) enhanced coagulation and restored normal hemostasis in clotting-deficient animals genetically lacking p12-LOX or 12/15-LOX activity. Murine platelets generated 22 eoxPL species, all of which were missing in the absence of p12-LOX. Humans with the thrombotic disorder antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) had statistically significantly increased ...

Research could lead to new therapies. In our not-so-distant evolutionary past, stress often meant imminent danger, and the risk of blood loss, so part of our bodys stress response is to stock-pile blood-clotting factors. Scientists in the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit (MMPU), a collaboration between the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, and the University of Heidelberg Medical Centre, have discovered how stressed cells boost the production of the key blood-clotting factor, thrombin. Their work, published today in Molecular Cell, shows how cancer cells may be taking advantage of this process, and opens new possibilities for fighting back, not only against cancer but also against septicaemia, where increased blood clotting is still one of the leading causes of death.. Blood clots tend to form more often in the veins of people with cancer, a syndrome first described almost 150 years ago by French physician Armand Trousseau. In recent years, doctors have ...

Background: In recent years, research has been done into various aspects of blood coagulation system, while the effect of exercise on this system has not been studied. Exercise may be able to contribute to the processes of coagulation and fibrinolysis cascades.Aim: To investigate the effect of six months of aerobic exercise on proteins C, S and platelets in sedentary middle-aged women.Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 19 inactive middle-aged women were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group attended aerobic exercise with the intensity of 55 to 65% of the heart rate reserve for six months; three sessions per week, each 60 minutes. A Coulter type CO-BASS device measured the coagulation factors. Data were analyzed by SPSS ver. 16, independent and paired t-tests.Results: the mean age was 42.2 ± 3.3 years old and weight 64.0 ± 8.6 kg. Sample were identical and normal confirmed by statistical tests of levene and Shapiro-Willkie (p|0.05). The results of

The process of fibrin formation takes place in two different pathways of the coagulation cascade of the secondary hemostasis. The pathways are the contact activation and the tissue factor pathway.. Contact activation pathway (intrinsic pathway). The step starts with the formation of collagen (Laposata, M. 2011, p. 109).. This step has a minor role in initiating the clot formation process compared to the tissue factor pathway as evidenced by lack of bleeding disorder in patients with severe deficiencies of FXII, prekallikrein, and HMWK.. The course is however, much involved in the process of inflammation.. Tissue factor pathway (extrinsic pathway). This pathway generates the thrombin bust that leads to the release of thrombin from the complex prothrombinase.. Thrombin is a very important component of the coagulation cascade as it activates feedback.. It also activates the other components of the coagulation cascade. The process starts when the blood vessels are damaged (Amy M. K., 2012, p. ...

Haemostasis is a dynamic process to stop bleeding after vessel wall damage. Platelets form a platelet plug via activation, adherence, and aggregation processes. The coagulation proteins are activated one-by-one, cascading towards fibrin polymerization, a process controlled by thrombin generation. Fibrinolysis is the process responsible for fibrin mesh degradation, which is also controlled by thrombin. Besides procoagulant proteins, anticoagulant proteins maintain a balance in the haemostatic system. Measuring platelet count and function can be done as part of the monitoring of haemostasis, while coagulation times are measured to assess the coagulation proteins. Degradation products of fibrin and lysis times give information about fibrinolysis. Point-of-care monitoring provides simple, rapid bedside testing for platelets and for whole blood using viscoelasticity properties. In trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) platelet counts and coagulation times are still common practice to evaluate haemostasis, but

The 14-3-3 family of adaptor proteins regulate diverse cellular functions including cell proliferation, metabolism, adhesion and apoptosis. Platelets express numerous 14-3-3 isoforms, including 14-3- z , which has previously been implicated in regulating GPIb a function. Here we show an important role for 14-3-3 z in regulating arterial thrombosis. Interestingly, this thrombosis defect is not related to alterations in von Willebrand factor (VWF)-GPIb adhesive function or platelet activation, but instead associated with reduced platelet phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and procoagulant function. Decreased PS exposure in 14-3-3 z -deficient platelets is associated with more sustained levels of metabolic ATP and increased mitochondrial respiratory reserve, independent of alterations in cytosolic calcium flux. Reduced platelet PS exposure in 14-3-3 z -deficient mice does not increase bleeding risk, but results in decreased thrombin generation and protection from pulmonary embolism, leading to ...

Contrary to previous models based on plasma, coagulation processes are currently believed to be mostly cell surface-based, including three overlapping phases: initiation, when tissue factor-expressing cells and microparticles are exposed to plasma; amplification, whereby small amounts of thrombin induce platelet activation and aggregation, and promote activation of factors (F)V, FVIII and FXI on platelet surfaces; and propagation, in which the Xase (tenase) and prothrombinase complexes are formed, producing a burst of thrombin and the cleavage of fibrinogen to fibrin. Thrombin exerts a number of additional biological actions, including platelet activation, amplification and self-inhibition of coagulation, clot stabilisation and anti-fibrinolysis, in processes occurring in the proximity of vessel injury, tightly regulated by a series of inhibitory mechanisms. Classical anticoagulants, including heparin and vitamin K antagonists, typically target multiple coagulation steps. A number of new

In this study, we present a novel modeling approach which combines ordinary differential equation ODE modeling with logical rules to simulate an archetype biochemical network, the human coagulation cascade. The model consisted of five differential equations augmented with several logical rules describing regulatory connections between model components, and unmodeled interactions in the network. This formulation was more than an order of magnitude smaller than current coagulation models, because many of the mechanistic details of coagulation were encoded as logical rules. We estimated an ensemble of likely model parameters N 20 from in vitro extrinsic coagulation data sets, with and without inhibitors, by minimizing the residual between model simulations and experimental measurements using particle swarm optimization PSO. Each parameter set in our ensemble corresponded to a unique particle in the PSO. We then validated the model ensemble using thrombin data sets that were not used during training. The

Schistosomes, parasitic worms that cause the tropical disease schistosomiasis, are able to survive in the hosts bloodstream for up to 30 years. Their survival in this hostile environment without activation of the coagulation system or clearance by the immune system is remarkable. The aim of this thesis is to describe ... read more the strategies used by schistosomes to allow their survival in the circulation. Blood coagulation around the parasite is inhibited at many different levels by schistosomes. In addition, the parasitic surface forms a protective barrier against immune recognition and immune damage. Furthermore, schistosomes have several strategies to inhibit or modulate host immune responses. These different strategies are often a clever combination of mimicking or using host mechanisms for regulation of the immune and haemostatic system and schistosome specific strategies to inhibit host blood coagulation and immune responses or to protect the parasite from immune damage.

When an artery to the heart becomes narrow or blocked due to plaque build-up, doctors may try to surgically widen the artery in a procedure called balloon angioplasty. After surgery, blood clots are more likely to form, raising chances for heart attacks. To avoid this, doctors give blood-thinning medications. Researchers wanted to test the anti-clotting capacity of omega-3s. Fifty-four men and women, average age 63, with stable coronary artery disease and a recent successful balloon angioplasty, took the standard anti-clot medications, aspirin and clopidogrel, with or without 460 mg of EPA plus 380 mg of DHA per day. Compared to those who did not take EPA and DHA, those who did had fewer abnormal blood-clotting factors, better blood-clotting traits, and a more balanced and controlled clotting process. Doctors also observed less oxidative stress in the omega-3 group. Reference: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology; 2011, Vol. 31, No. 7, 1696-702 ...

Blood clots are typically a very useful mechanism within the body. When you get a papercut or other minor injury, you may notice that the blood eventually stops flowing. This stoppage happens because of blood clots at the site of the wound, preventing you from losing all of your blood through one small cut. When the blood within your veins forms a clot, however, this same mechanism that usually protects you can turn deadly instead. Blood clots in your veins can break off and travel to important organs, causing a heart attack or stroke, among other issues. It is important to know what the common causes of blood clots are, to find out if you may be at a higher risk for this complication.. ...

Acquired coagulopathy is a relatively uncommon occurrence in acute paediatrics but when it occurs is usually associated with significant underlying pathology and often with critical illness. It can be caused by a number of disease processes but infection, blood loss, iatrogenic causes and liver dysfunction are among the commonest. The blood coagulation cascade is complex and intersects with many other physiological pathways. It is also subject to developmental changes, and normal coagulation and haemostasis change considerably during early life. The diagnosis of abnormal coagulation and when treatment should be initiated is influenced both by age and developmental status and limited by the range of tests routinely available to clinicians. Treatment has predominantly involved transfusion of plasma products (usually fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate) but a number of pharmaceutical and human-derived options are now available. Although plasma products are less frequently transfused than red ...

In the coagulation system two mechanisms operate that are indispensable to life and normally work in opposite directions, each counterbalancing the other. On the one hand, coagulation involves a thickening of the blood so that a plug can form and prevent excessive bleeding from damaged vessels. On the other hand, there is fibrinolysis, a process that keeps the blood fluid and breaks down clots. In the case of the anxiety-disorder patients, however, the researchers observed through close analysis of the blood an activation of coagulation accompanied by an inhibition of fibrinolysis. Yet, apart from the prick for blood sampling, no real injury had occurred. For these types of patients, the coagulation system goes out of balance as the coagulation tendency rises possibly with dangerous consequences. In extreme cases the imbalance can lead to blockage of a coronary artery ...

2 pp. (accepted). Fibrin polymerization is a process that completes the blood coagulation cascade. Fibrin polymer forms clots. The approaches to mathematical description of blood coagulation developed up to now generally restricted by the reactions of thrombin generation. Thrombin is a key factor of blood coagulation cascade that transforms fibrinogen molecules to fibrin-monomer. The kinetics of thrombin generation depends upon a set of blood coagulation factors. Its change in time is usually described by complicated nonlinear mathematical models. In this work we made an attempt to expand thrombin generation model by the equations of fibrin polymerization. Fibrin polymerization is described by Smoluchowski equations, in correspondence with the polymerization theory [1]. Thus our model takes into account generation of fibrin-monomers, their polymerization, polymer fragmentation and degradation. The change of aggregate state of blood is a result of formation of fibrin gel. It is assumed that ...

N2 - The minor γA/γ′ isoform of fibrinogen contains a high affinity binding site for thrombin exosite II that is lacking in the major fibrinogen isoform, γA/γA fibrinogen. The biological consequences of γ′ chain binding to thrombin were therefore investigated. Coagulation assays, thrombin activity assays, and a primate thrombosis model were used to characterize the biological effects of the γ′ 410-427 peptide. The γ′ peptide had little effect on thrombin cleavage of the small peptidyl substrate tosyl-glycyl-prolyl-arginine-4-nitranilide acetate. However, in vitro assays demonstrated that the γ′ peptide inhibited thrombin cleavage of larger proteinaceous substrates, including fibrinogen and factor VIII. The γ′ peptide ...

The present study demonstrates that activation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway occurs during clinical CPB and that PBMC TF contributes to this process. TF is a cell surface transmembrane protein that, in conjunction with factor VII, causes thrombus formation through the extrinsic coagulation pathway. TF is expressed constitutively on subendothelium and organ capsules and acts as a hemostatic envelope when injury occurs to the physical barrier that normally separates factor VII from TF.14 TF usually is not present on cells in the blood or on cells that come in direct contact with blood. Specific tissues known to constitutively express TF include myocardial myocytes.13 In addition to constitutive TF expression, certain cells such as monocytes and endothelial cells can be induced to express TF in response to cytokines such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor. Cytokines are short-acting mediators of inflammation released in response to infection or tissue injury. Endotoxin (LPS), found ...

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating TG-related parameters following PCC administration in acute trauma patients. PCC therapy resulted in significantly higher ETP than in patients who received fibrinogen concentrate only or no coagulation therapy at all and, importantly, this was sustained over the first 3 to 4 days following PCC administration. AT was significantly lower in the FC-PCC group from ER admission until 3 to 4 days later, reaching a nadir on day 2. Hemostasis relies on a delicate balance between pro- and anticoagulant factors, and between thrombin potential and thrombin inhibition potential. This balance may have been impaired in the FC-PCC group, during a period when fibrinogen levels were increased above the normal range; similar findings have been reported in previous studies [34, 35]. The overall picture is increased thrombin potential (day 1 to day 4), increased substrate for coagulation (that is, fibrinogen reaching a plateau on day 4) and ...

Study Design: One hundred and seventeen normal pregnant women were investigated in a longitudinal study involving five measurements: blood samples were collected at 10, 20, 30, 36 weeks and on the second day puerperium and were assayed for prothrombin time (PT expressed in INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (PLY), fibrinogen (FBG), antithrombin III activity (AT III), protein C activity (PC), protein S activity (PS), prothrombin fragments 1+2 (F1 +2), type 1 ...

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate thrombin generation in patients with thrombophilia (Paper I), in patients with venous thromboembolism (Paper II), in healthy women during the menstrual cycle (Paper III), in patients with liver disease (Paper IV) and in patients with mild deficiency of factor VII (Paper V).. For this purpose, thrombin generation was measured in platelet poor plasma by the calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT®) assay. Thrombin generation expresses the overall haemostatic potential, in contrast to the more traditional coagulation tests, which concentrate on individual factors or coagulation pathways. The thrombin generation markers that were measured and studied were: lagtime (clotting time), endogenous thrombin potential (ETP, total thrombin concentration), peak (maximum thrombin concentration) and time to peak (ttpeak).. The cohorts for Papers I and II are part of a larger cohort (The LInköping Study on Thrombosis, LIST), which included 516 consecutive patients who ...

After incubation, all samples were placed in a thrombelastograph and recalcified, with thrombelastographic ...

Abstract:. Objective: To investigate the blood coagulation function in COVID-19 patients, and the correlation between coagulopathy and disease severity. Methods: We retrospectively collected 147 clinically diagnosed COVID-19 patients at Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital of Hubei, China. We analyzed the coagulation function in COVID-19 patients through the data including thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), 2-plasmininhibitor-plasmin Complex (PIC), thrombomodulin (TM), t-PA/PAI-1 Complex (t-PAIC), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), thrombin time (TT), D-Dimer (DD), and platelet (PLT). Result: The levels of TAT, PIC, TM, t-PAIC, PT, INR, FIB, and DD in COVID-19 patients were higher than health controls ( ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - The coagulation system, but not circulating fibrinogen, contributes to liver injury in rats exposed to lipopolysaccharide from gram-negative bacteria. AU - Hewett, J. A.. AU - Roth, R. A.. PY - 1995. Y1 - 1995. N2 - Evidence suggests that components of the coagulation system contribute to the pathogenesis of liver injury after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria. Although the mechanism by which the coagulation system mediates liver injury remains unknown, it has been proposed that the conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin and consequent deposition in liver microvasculature may contribute to the development of liver injury. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the coagulation system contributes to LPS hepatotoxicity by a mechanism which is dependent on circulating fibrinogen. A marked reduction in plasma fibrinogen concentration occurred in rats after LPS exposure. The decrease in circulating fibrinogen, which marked ...

Objective: To determine whether FXIa promotes thrombin generation and coagulation in plasma in the absence of FIX, and to determine whether FXI-deficiency produces an antithrombotic effect in mice independently of FIX. Methods: FXIa, FXIa variants and anti-FXIa antibodies were tested for their effects on plasma coagulation and thrombin generation in the absence of FIX, and for their effects on the activation of purified coagulation factors. Mice with combined FIX and FXI deficiency were ...

Thromboelastography (TEG) is a method of testing the efficiency of blood coagulation. It is a test mainly used in surgery and anesthesiology, although few centers are capable of performing it. More common tests of blood coagulation include prothrombin time (PT,INR) and partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) which measure coagulation factor function, but TEG also can assess platelet function, clot strength, and fibrinolysis which these other tests cannot. Thromboelastometry (TEM), previously named rotational thromboelastography (ROTEG) or rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), is another version of TEG in which it is the sensor shaft, rather than the cup, that rotates. A small sample of blood is taken from the selected person and rotated gently through 4º 45, six times a minute, to imitate sluggish venous flow and activate coagulation. A thin wire probe is used to measure, which the clot forms around. The speed and strength of clot formation is measured in various ways, typically by computer. The ...

Abstract. Human antithrombin III (ATIII) is a plasma inhibitor of several serine proteases of the blood coagulation system. Previous investigations have report

5-R-Rivaroxaban is a selective inhibitor of human Factor Xa with IC50 value of 0.7 nmol/L. Factor Xa is a serine endopeptidase enzyme and plays an important role in the convergence point of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in blood coagulation system. 5-R-Rivaroxaban is an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor and the inhibition is species-dependent. When tested with purified factoe Xa from human or rabbit, 5-R-Rivaroxaban showed similar affinity with IC50 value of 0.7 nmol/L and 0.8 nmol/L, respectively, while had a IC50 value as low as 3.4 nmol/L when tested with rat factor Xa. Pre-treated anaesthetised rat model with intravenous 5-R-Rivaroxaban at a dose of 2 mg/kg, and after bleeding initiated intravenous treated with rFVIIa (100/400 μg/kg), PCC (25/50 U/kg) or aPCC (50/100 U/kg), the result showed that 5-R-Rivaroxaban pre-treatment significantly shorten bleeding time and clotting time compared with 5-R-Rivaroxaban alone treated group. Similar results were obtained when tested with rabbit ...

There is limited knowledge of whether hypercoagulability is present after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or about its timing of onset, duration, and severity. To conduct a pilot new generation thromboelastography (TEG) technology (TEG6s) -based and conventional coagulation test-supported longitudinal assessment of coagulation in patients with SAH. We prospectively enrolled non-traumatic SAH patients on admission from May 2015 to May 2016. We performed TEG6s measurements and conventional coagulation tests on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 and compared them to TEG6s parameters in healthy volunteers. We studied 14 patients and 72 TEG6s measurements. Of these patients, 10 (71.4%) were admitted to ICU. Mean age was 57.5 (±14.5), APACHE III score 58.2(±26.6), length of hospital stay of 23 (±11.7) days and mortality was 14.3%. At baseline, conventional coagulation tests were within normal range. However, TEG6s parameters already showed increased coagulability. Thereafter, alpha angle, reaction time, ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting with extracorporal circulation is established as the golden standard. The conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system is associated with inflammatory reaction, hemolysis, hemodilution an disturbances of the blood coagulation system. Also its well known that neurological disturbances caused by embolic material and air bubbles are potential risks of CPB. The new minimized perfusion circuit ROCsafeTM is a closed, reservoir-less, reduced prime, surface coated circuit, with optimized safety features in effectively eliminate both macro and micro air bubbles and should optimize the clinical outcome after CABG using cardiopulmonary bypass. ...

Thromboelastography (TEG) is a point-of-care whole blood coagulation monitor which provides information on specific aspects of coagulation including time to production of initial fibrin strands (R-time), time to develop clot (R-time, K-time), rate of fibrin build-up and cross linking (-angle), maximum clot strength (maximum amplitude bMA) and measures of fibrinolysis (decreasing amplitude post-MA). Abnormal TEG data may predict patients who will bleed. Spiess [2] found that TEG correlated well with ACT and coagulation profiles and whilst no coagulation test was consistently abnormal the TEG was the most accurate predictor of bleeding. Ereth studied a Platelet-activated clotting test (PACT HemoSTATUS), ACT and clotting studies, and TEG. Whilst PACT sensitivity and specificity was comparable to conventional coagulation tests in predicting blood loss, TEG was more predictive at both blood loss levels. Essell found that whilst the bleeding time and platelet count had sensitivities similar to the ...

OBJECTIVES: Exercise induces changes in haemostatic parameters and core body temperature (CBT). We aimed to assess whether exercise-induced elevations in CBT induce pro-thrombotic changes in a dose-dependent manner. DESIGN: Observational study. METHODS: CBT and haemostatic responses were measured in 62 participants of a 15-km road race at baseline and immediately after finishing. As haemostasis assays are routinely performed at 37°C, we corrected the assay temperature for the individuals actual CBT at baseline and finish in a subgroup of n=25. RESULTS: All subjects (44±11 years, 69% male) completed the race at a speed of 12.1±1.8km/h. CBT increased significantly from 37.6±0.4°C to 39.4±0.8°C (p,0.001). Post-exercise, haemostatic activity was increased, as expressed by accelerated thrombin generation and an attenuated plasmin response. Synchronizing assay temperature to the subjects actual CBT resulted in additional differences and stronger acceleration of thrombin generation parameters. ...

The evolutionary forces that produced the canonical genetic code before the last universal ancestor remain obscure. One hypothesis is that the arrangement of amino acid/codon assignments results from selection to minimize the effects of errors (e.g., mistranslation and mutation) on resulting proteins. If amino acid similarity is measured as polarity, the canonical code does indeed outperform most theoretical alternatives. However, this finding does not hold for other amino acid properties, ignores plausible restrictions on possible code structure, and does not address the naturally occurring nonstandard genetic codes. Finally, other analyses have shown that significantly better code structures are possible. Here, we show that if theoretically possible code structures are limited to reflect plausible biological constraints, and amino acid similarity is quantified using empirical data of substitution frequencies, the canonical code is at or very close to a global optimum for error minimization ...

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a widely used and highly toxic wood preservative. It was first introduced as a pesticide in 1936 (7) and is not known to be a natural product. Despite its recent introduction into the environment and its high toxicity, several strains of Sphingobium chlorophenolicum (previously Sphingomonas chlorophenolica) (24) that can mineralize PCP have been identified. The best studied of these are strains ATCC 39723 (19), RA-2 (23), and UG30 (6). It appears that S. chlorophenolicum has assembled a new metabolic pathway capable of converting this anthropogenic compound into a recognizable metabolite. Our previous studies suggest that this pathway has been assembled by patching together enzymes from at least two different metabolic pathways (8). PCP hydroxylase (PCP monooxygenase; EC 1.14.13.50) and 2,6-dichlorohydroquinone dioxygenase may have originated from enzymes that hydroxylated a naturally occurring chlorinated phenol and then cleaved the resulting hydroquinone. ...

The use of mouse models for the study of thrombotic disorders has gained increasing importance. Methods for measurement of coagulation activation in mice are, however, scarce. The primary aim of this study was to develop a specific mouse thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) ELISA for measurement of coagulation activation and to compare it with two commercially available assays for human TAT complexes. In addition, we aimed to improve methods for mouse plasma anticoagulation and preparation. First, for the measurement of TAT-complexes in plasma a mouse specific TAT-ELISA was developed using rabbit polyclonal antibodies raised against mouse thrombin and rat antithrombin, respectively. This ELISA detected an increase in TAT levels in a mouse model of endotoxemia. Two commercial human TAT ELISAs appeared to be less specific for mouse thrombin-rat antithrombin complexes. Second, to prevent clotting of mouse blood sodium citrate was either mixed with blood during collection in a syringe or was injected intravenously

Formulation of a medical preparedness plan for treating severely bleeding casualties during naval deployment is a significant challenge because of territory covered during most missions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concept of walking blood bank as a supportable plan for supplying safe blood and blood products. In 2013, the Royal Norwegian Navy conducted antipiracy operations from a frigate, beginning in the Gulf of Aden and ending in the Indian Ocean. Crews were on 24-hour emergency alert in preparation for an enemy assault on the frigate. Under an approved command protocol, a walking blood bank, using crew blood donations, was established for use on board and on missions conducted in rigid-hulled inflatable boats, during which freeze-dried plasma and leukoreduced, group O low anti-A anti-B titer, cold-stored whole blood were stored in Golden Hour Boxes. Data demonstrating the ability to collect, store, and provide whole blood were collected to establish feasibility of implementing a whole

Transfusion medicine physicians and laboratory scientists are confronted daily with hemostasis and thrombosis-related concerns as they select and administer blood components, coagulation factor concentrates, anticoagulants, and agents to manage anticoagulant therapy. This chapter provides an introduction and overview of hemostasis. Primary hemostasis focuses on platelet function and interactions with the vasculature, endothelium, and the coagulation mechanism. Secondary hemostasis focuses on the coagulation cascade and is subdivided into the extrinsic, intrinsic, and common enzymatic pathways. Coagulation also includes control systems such as protein C, protein S, and antithrombin, and fibrinolysis. Depending on the defect, hemostasis disorders may be congenital or acquired, resulting in hemorrhage or thrombosis. The questions in this chapter will explore normal hemostasis, disorders of hemostasis, and the laboratory assays that predict, identify, and ...

AU - Drakenberg, Torbjörn. AU - Teleman, Olle. AU - Stenflo, Johan. N1 - Project code: B5SU00139. PY - 1995. Y1 - 1995. N2 - Reversible membrane binding of γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing coagulation factors requires Ca2+-binding to 10-12 Gla residues. Here we describe the solution structure of the Ca2+-free Gla-EGF domain pair of factor X which reveals a striking difference between the Ca2+-free and Ca2+-loaded forms. In the Ca2+-free form Gla residues are exposed to solvent and Phe 4, Leu 5 and Val 8 form a hydrophobic cluster in the interior of the domain. In the Ca2+-loaded form Gla residues ligate Ca22+ in the core of the domain pushing the side-chains of the three hydrophobic residues into the solvent. We propose that the Ca2+-induced exposure of hydrophobic side chains is crucial for membrane ...

A prothrombotic state is one of the hallmarks of advanced cancer, and thromboembolic disease contributes significantly to the mortality of cancer patients (reviewed in1). Tissue factor (TF), the cellular activator of the coagulation cascade, is central to the hypercoagulable state of cancer patients and responsible for local thrombin generation and fibrin deposition in the tumor stroma. TF also triggers remote thrombotic complications involving procoagulant TF+ microparticles2 with potential contribution from other cancer procoagulants (reviewed in3). TF-dependent coagulation generates thrombin and induces pleiotrophic cellular effects of thrombin on platelets through G protein-coupled protease-activated receptors (PARs)4 as well as thrombin-initiated vascular-protective signaling of the endogenous activated protein C-EPCR-PAR1 pathway.5 Direct signaling by TF-associated proteases are mediated by the binary TF-VIIa enzyme complex that activates PAR2 or the ternary TF-VIIa-Xa coagulation ...

Inhalation of fine particulate matter (< 2.5 mu m; fine PM) has been shown to increase the risk for cardiovascular events. In this letter, we reappraise the role of tissue factor (TF) antigen and we also summarize changes in measured coagulation proteins in humans and rodents by other studies with fine PM. By considering all studies including ours, we conclude that monitoring the overall coagulation state by measuring capacity assays such as thrombin generation, and quantification of TF activity would be more suitable than determining single coagulation proteins (such as TF antigen) in order to better assess the systemic prothrombotic effects of fine PM. ...

1] A new two-dimensional aerosol bin scheme, which resolves both aerosol size and black carbon (BC) mixing state for BC aging processes (e.g., condensation and coagulation) with 12 size × 10 mixing state bins, has been developed and implemented into the WRF-chem model (MS-resolved WRF-chem). The mixing state of BC simulated by this model is compared with direct measurements over the East Asian region in spring 2009. Model simulations generally reproduce the observed features of the BC mixing state, such as the size-dependent number fractions of BC-containing and BC-free particles and the coating thickness of BC-containing particles. This result shows that the model can simulate realistic BC mixing states in the atmosphere if condensation and coagulation processes are calculated explicitly with the detailed treatment of BC mixing state. Sensitivity simulations show that the condensation process is dominant for the growth of thinly coated BC particles, while the coagulation process is necessary ...

The present article aims to provide clinicians with an overview of coagulation testing in individuals with liver disease, to discuss available procoagulants and the rationale for their use, and to provide management strategies in a variety of common clinical scenarios.Clinicians and researchers are gaining an increased understanding of the shortfalls of assessing bleeding risk using traditional tests of coagulation. The use of global tests of clot formation, including viscoelastic testing and thrombin generation analysis, continues to evolve and guide the management of these patients.Abnormal coagulation testing in individuals with cirrhosis leads to a variety of difficult clinical scenarios that can be challenging for practitioners. With advanced liver disease, changes in the traditional tests of hemostasis such as the international normalized ratio reflect decreased synthesis of procoagulant factors but do not capture concomitant decreases in anticoagulant factors. In this setting, transfusion ...

The liver synthesizes the majority of pro- and anti-coagulant and fibrinolytic proteins, and during liver dysfunction synthesis of these proteins is reduced. The end point of conventional hemostatic tests, such as the prothrombin time (PT), occurs when only 5% of thrombin generation (TG) has taken place and is not sensitive to the effects of natural anti-coagulants. The aim of this study was to determine whether TG in the presence of thrombomodulin (TM) provides more useful information about coagulation potential, in comparison to the PT. Analysis was performed on ST Genesia, a novel TG analyzer from Diagnostica Stago. TG was measured using STG-Thromboscreen, a reagent containing an intermediate concentration of human tissue factor (TF) ± rabbit TM to account for anti-coagulant protein C (PC) activity. Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) samples were from the Intensive Care Study of Coagulopathy-2 (ISOC-2), which recruited patients admitted to critical care with a prolonged PT (3 seconds above the reference

Oxidized cholesterol compounds or oxysterols are thought to be potent membrane-destabilizing agents. Anionic phospholipids, chiefly phosphatidylserine, have a procoagulant potential due to their ability to favour the membrane assembly of the characteristic clotting enzyme complexes including the tissue factor-dependent initiating complex. However, in resting cells, phosphatidylserine is sequestered in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. When THP-1 monocytic cells were cultured in the presence of 7β-hydroxycholesterol (7β-OH) or 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OH), prothrombinase, which reflects anionic phospholipid exposure and tissue factor (TF) procoagulant activities, increased in a time- and dose-dependent manner. 7β-OH appeared 1.5- to 2-fold more potent than 25-OH. Interestingly, no effect of cholesterol itself could be detected on procoagulant activities. Nevertheless, no difference in TF activity could be detected between oxysterol-treated and control cells after disruption. TF ...
