[Pharmacokinetic Study of Coagulation Factor Ⅷ in Adults with Severe Hemophilia A].

Objective: To detect the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) in adult patients with severe hemophilia A, identify the potential factors influencing FⅧ PK, and optimize the use of FⅧ in individual prophylaxis regimens.

Methods: PK characteristics of FⅧ were studied in a total of 23 severe hemophilia A adults. The correlation of patients' characteristics including age, von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag), blood group, weight, body mass index (BMI) and genotype, with FⅧ PK were evaluated.

A stimulator of interferon gene (CgSTING) involved in antimicrobial immune response of oyster Crassostrea gigas.

The stimulator of interferon gene (STING), an intracellular sensor of cyclic dinucleotides, is critical to the innate immune response, especially the induction of type I interferon (IFN) during pathogenic infection. A STING homologue (CgSTING) regulating the expression of IFN-like protein (CgIFNLP) was previously identified in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, and its involvement in antibacterial immunity was further investigated in the present study. The mRNA transcripts of CgSTING were ubiquitously detected in all the three subpopulations of haemocytes with the highest expression in semi-granulocytes.
