This study aims to investigate the clinical characterization and molecular pathogenic basis of hereditary protein C (PC) deficiency in two independent Chinese families, and conduct in vitro expression studies on the newly discovered p.Trp444Arg mutation. The PC activity (PC: A) was tested using the chromogenic substrate, and PC antigen (PC: Ag) was detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Hereditary protein S deficiency (PSD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the 1 gene which can cause venous thrombosis. Individuals with PSD usually present with recurrent deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism, but thrombosis may occur at unusual sites, such as the mesenteric and portal veins. Here we report a case of hereditary protein S deficiency patient with predominant mesenteric venous thrombosis.

Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) represents the most effective treatment for selected patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease. However, SPK is a technically complex surgical procedure and is particularly challenging in patients with anatomical variations. Situs inversus abdominalis (SIA) is a rare hereditary condition in which the abdominal organs and vessels are arranged in a mirror image of standard anatomy.

Hormonal contraceptive therapy (estrogens and/or progestogens) includes different formulations associated with varying venous thromboembolism (VTE) risks. The thrombogenicity of combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) is due at least in part to multiple changes in clotting factors and the vasculature and is dependent on both estrogen dose and type of progestin. Transdermal patch and vaginal ring users have similar or higher VTE risk as combined oral contraceptive users.
