Factor XIII-A transglutaminase contributes to Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET)-mediated fibrin network formation and crosslinking.

Background: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps can contribute to thrombosis via stabilization fibrin network, which is normally conducted by plasma transglutaminase, Factor XIII-A as part of coagulation cascade. The possible presence and activity of FXIII-A in neutrophils or during NETosis is unknown. Here, we investigated potential presence of FXIII-A in neutrophils and participation in NET-fibrinogen interaction.

Neutrophils, as essential component of the innate immune response, form a crucial part in the defence mechanisms through the release of extracellular traps (NETs). These web-like structures, composed of chromatin and antimicrobial proteins, are essential for the entrapment and inactivation of pathogens. However, either constitutive formation or inefficient clearance of NETs leads to adverse effects such as fibrosis, thrombosis, delayed wound healing and tissue damage in multiple diseases associated with sterile inflammation.

Article Synopsis
- Fibrinolysis plays a crucial role in the release of hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow, affecting the development of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
- Activation of plasmin, driven by annexin A2, alters the extracellular matrix (ECM), which impacts cancer cell growth by trapping the growth factor IGF1 and hindering signaling pathways.
- Inhibiting plasmin activation with ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA) shows promise in reducing tumor size and extending survival in B-ALL models, suggesting that targeting fibrinolysis could be a helpful addition to cancer treatment.
First registry of patients treated with foam sclerotherapy using a new automated microfoam preparation device (2021-2022).

Clínica Vascular Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- A descriptive study was conducted using an automated microfoam preparation system (AMPS) for foam sclerotherapy in treating varicose veins, involving 185 patients from February 2021 to December 2022.
- The average treatment involved different volumes and concentrations of foam for various types of veins, with high occlusion rates reported after 15 months, particularly for the great and small saphenous veins.
- The study found a low complication rate overall, indicating that the AMPS could be a versatile and effective option for treating venous diseases while minimizing adverse events.

Objectives: We aimed to identify conditions mimicking nervous system involvement among patients with Behçet's syndrome (BS) and to determine clinical, laboratory and imaging findings that may help in the differential diagnosis.
Methods: We screened the charts of 500 consecutive BS patients to identify those who were referred to neurology at any time during their follow-up. The final diagnoses, presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory and imaging results were retrieved from patient charts.
