Background: The aim of this study was to explore the value of heparin-binding protein (HBP) in the early recognition of sepsis coagulopathy (SIC) and the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 139 patients with sepsis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hefei Third People's Hospital from April 2022 through April 2024. The clinical baseline data, disease scores [sequential organ failure (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health status (APACHE II) score, and SIC score], inflammatory markers [HBP, procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin 6 (IL-6)], coagulation-related indexes [platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT-INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (Fib), and D dimer (D-D)], and the survival time and 28-day prognosis of all patients were observed.

ADAMTS13 Improves Hepatic Platelet Accumulation in Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids-induced Liver Injury.

J Clin Transl Hepatol

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Background And Aims: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), widely distributed in plants, are known to induce liver failure. Hepatic platelet accumulation has been reported during the progression of PA-induced liver injury (PA-ILI). This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying platelet accumulation in PA-ILI.

College of Chemistry, Henan Joint International Research Laboratory of Green Construction of Functional Molecules and Their Bioanalytical Applications, Food Laboratory of Zhongyuan, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450001, China.

Background: Heparin is a widely used anticoagulant in clinic. However, improper dosing can increase the risk of thromboembolic events, potentially leading to life-threatening complications. Clinic monitoring of heparin is very important for its use safety.

This study discusses disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with solid cancers and various vascular abnormalities, both of which generally exhibit chronic DIC patterns. Solid cancers are among the most significant underlying diseases that induce DIC. However, the severity, bleeding tendency, and progression of DIC vary considerably depending on the type and stage of the cancer, making generalization difficult.

Background: Immunothrombosis is the process by which the coagulation cascade interacts with the innate immune system to control infection. However, the formation of clots within the brain vasculature can be detrimental to the host. Recent work has demonstrated that Toxoplasma gondii infects and lyses central nervous system (CNS) endothelial cells that form the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
