Objective: To identify the relationship between coagulation factor V (FV) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Methods: The FV clotting activity (FV: C) and FV antigen (FV: Ag) in plasma of VTE group (111 patients) and normal control (110 patients) were detected using one-stage clotting assay and ELISA, respectively. Five pairs of primers of the F V polymorphisms including Asp79His, Arg306The, Arg306Gly, Arg506Gln and Ile359The/His1299 Arg were synthesized and amplified by PCR. The PCR products were digested by restriction enzyme using PCR-RFLP. The detected polymorphisms were confirmed by direct sequencing. The samples containing the polymorphisms were screened for coding regions of all F V exons with direct sequencing.
Results: The plasma levels of F V: C and F V: Ag of VTE group and normal control were (106.9 +/- 28.0)%, (110.4 +/- 33.3)% and (102.4 +/- 30.9)%, (102.1 +/- 24.1)%, respectively. The plasma level of FV: Ag was significantly different between VTE group and normal control. However, there was no difference in F V: C levels. Polymorphisms for the fore mentioned 5 primer pairs were not found in either patients or normal controls. Polymorphism of His1299Arg was identified in 5 patients with VTE and 3 normal controls. And these 5 cases also combined Met1736Val polymorphism, 3 of them combined another Asp2194Gly polymorphism.
Conclusion: The higher plasma level of F V: Ag contribute to venous thromboembolism. There is no relationship between polymorphisms of Asp79His, Arg306The, Arg306Gly, Arg506Gln, Ile359The and venous thromboembolism in Chinese studied. Polymorphism His1299Arg is higher in VTE group than in normal control, but has no statistical difference. Polymorphisms of His1299Arg, Met1736Val and Asp2194Gly are linked disequilibrium in Chinese Han population.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still a major challenge after major orthopaedic surgery, including total knee replacement (TKR). The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of VTE with aspirin-only pharmacologic prophylaxis following primary TKR surgery versus direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). The study included 476 patients who underwent primary TKR from 2016 to 2020.

Background: Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are the second-leading cause of death in cancer patients, with an incidence of 5%-17% in lymphoma patients, particularly higher in those with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Existing risk assessment models (RAMs) like the Khorana and ThroLy scores have limitations and are inadequately validated for NHL patients. Coagulation markers such as D-dimer, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), and thrombomodulin (TM) show a potential predictive value for cancer-associated VTE but lack extensive research in NHL.

Objective: DNA methylation, as an epigenetic alteration, plays an essential role in the development of atherosclerosis and venous thrombosis. E-cadherin, a tumor suppressor gene and adhesion molecule, has a crucial function in platelet aggregation and hemostasis. P16, a cell cycle regulator, is involved in venous thrombosis.

Background And Aims: The increasing use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has raised concerns regarding its long-term cardiovascular safety due to potential hormonal imbalances and pro-thrombotic states. This study aimed to assess the long-term cardiovascular risk associated with fertility treatments in women.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in MEDLINE (via PubMed) from inception to January 2024.

Background: Previous randomized clinical trials did not support a benefit of screening for occult cancer after diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE), although screening may be of potential benefit for selected high-risk patients.
Methods And Results: The COMMAND VTE Registry-2 enrolled consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE between 2015 and 2020 from 31 centers across Japan. The 3,706 patients in the registry without known active cancer at the time of VTE diagnosis were divided into 2 groups: those with (n=250) and without (n=3,456) newly diagnosed cancer during the follow-up period.
