Factor IXa inhibitors as novel anticoagulants.

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol

Department of Pathology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.

Published: April 2007

Currently available anticoagulants are limited by modest therapeutic benefits, narrow clinical applications, increased bleeding risk, and drug-induced thrombophilia. Because factor IX plays a pivotal role in tissue factor (TF)-mediated thrombin generation, it may represent a promising target for drug development. Several methods of attenuating factor IX activity, including monoclonal antibodies, synthetic active site-blocked competitive inhibitors, oral inhibitors, and RNA aptamers, have undergone investigation. This review summarizes present knowledge of factor IX inhibitors with emphasis on biology, pharmacology, preclinical data, and early-phase clinical experience in humans.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Due to the lack of symptoms until advanced stages, early diagnosis of ccRCC is challenging. Therefore, the identification of novel secreted biomarkers for the early detection of ccRCC is urgently needed.

Determinants of Racial and Ethnic Differences in Maternal Cardiovascular Health in Early Pregnancy.

Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes

January 2025

Department of Preventive Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL. (N.A.C., X.H., L.C.P., H.N., N.S.S., A.M.P., P.G., D.M.L.-J., K.N.K., S.S.K.).

Background: Suboptimal cardiovascular health (CVH) in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and offspring outcomes. To guide public health efforts to reduce disparities in maternal CVH, we determined the contribution of individual- and neighborhood-level factors to racial and ethnic differences in early pregnancy CVH.

Methods: We included nulliparous individuals with singleton pregnancies who self-identified as Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black (NHB), or non-Hispanic White (NHW) and participated in the nuMoM2b cohort study (Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-Be).

Effect of Reaction Interface Structure on the Morphology and Performance of Thin-Film Composite Membrane.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Anaerobic Biotechnology, School of Environment and Ecology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, PR China.

Thin-film composite (TFC) membrane has been extensively utilized and investigated for its excellent properties. Herein, we have constructed an active layer (AL) containing cave-like structures utilizing large meniscus interface. Furthermore, the impact of interface structure on the growth process, morphology, and effective surface area of AL has been fully explored with the assistance of sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS).

Enteropathogens are major contributors to mortality and morbidity, particularly in settings with limited access to water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure. To assess transmission pathways associated with enteropathogen infection, we measured household environmental conditions and assayed 22 enteropathogens using TaqMan Array Cards in stool samples from 276 six-month-old children living in communities along a rural-urban gradient in Northern Ecuador. We utilized multivariable models, risk factor importance, and distance-based statistical methods to test factors associated with infection.

Dynamic Methane Emissions from China's Fossil-Fuel and Food Systems: Socioeconomic Drivers and Policy Optimization Strategies.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Marine Resources Utilization in South China Sea, School of Marine Science and Engineering, Hainan University, Haikou 570228, China.

In response to the 2023 "Action Plan for Methane Emission Control" in China, which mandates precise methane (CH) emission accounting, we developed a dynamic model to estimate CH emissions from fossil-fuel and food systems in China for the period 1990-2020. We also analyzed their socioeconomic drivers through the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) model. Our analysis revealed an accelerated emission increase (850.
