This clinical case report describes the simultaneous development of an acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and a massive pulmonary thromboembolism in a 44-year-old patient - a carrier of the thrombophilia gene polymorphisms: MTHFR C677T, А1298C, PAI-1 4G/5G, ITGA2 C807T. Multifocal thrombosis was probably due to the initial congenital deficiency of anticoagulants, accompanied by a decrease in antithrombin III and protein C, against the background of their critical consumption in cascade thrombosis, in combination with the carrier of polymorphisms of moderate and low thrombogenic risk. This case is unique in that there is usually a tendency toward clinical thrombosis when the level of antithrombin III is less than 70%. Such patients develop thrombosis at a younger age, and by the age of 35-40 years usually have a verified diagnosis of extremely high-risk hereditary thrombophilia. In this case, multifocal thrombosis was accompanied by critically low values of anticoagulants: antithrombin III - 3.4%, and protein C - 36.8%. The patient had suffered from epilepsy since childhood and took anticonvulsant drugs that increase the deficit of active folic acid and can lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, which in this case, against the background of an innate decrease in the activity of methyltetrahydrofolate reductase, could have aggravated the situation. < To focus on the possibility of the manifestation of multifocal thrombosis in congenital thrombophilia in adulthood against the background of critically low values of anticoagulants - antithrombin III and protein C.>.

The prognosis of patients with liver failure (LF) depends significantly on the etiology and clinical indicators. This analysis of these basic indicators can help provide a basis for the study of predictive outcome indicators. We collected the data from multiple centers in Southeast China, including subclasses of acute liver failure (ALF), subacute liver failure (SLF), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), subacute-on-chronic liver failure (SALF), and chronic liver failure (CLF).

Analysis of risk factors for sepsis-related liver injury and construction of a prediction model.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Background: Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients, and the liver is a key organ affected by sepsis. Sepsis-related liver injury (SRLI) is an independent risk factor for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and mortality. However, there is no clear diagnostic standard for SRLI, making early detection and intervention challenging.

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.

Introduction: The activation of the plasmatic coagulation system is a significant contributor to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to investigate the association between the levels of tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex (t-PAIC), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), plasmin-α2 plasmin-inhibitor complex (PIC), and thrombomodulin (TM) with clinical outcomes in patients with AMI.

Methods: Blood samples were collected from 368 patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction in the emergency department to assess levels of t-PAIC, TAT, PIC, and TM.
