Self-Assembly of Human Fibrinogen into Microclot-Mimicking Antifibrinolytic Amyloid Fibrinogen Particles.

ACS Appl Bio Mater

December 2024

MOE Key Laboratory of Bio-Intelligent Manufacturing, Liaoning Key Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Imaging, School of Bioengineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China.

Recent clinical studies have highlighted the presence of microclots in the form of amyloid fibrinogen particles (AFPs) in plasma samples from Long COVID patients. However, the clinical significance of these abnormal, nonfibrillar self-assembly aggregates of human fibrinogen remains debated due to the limited understanding of their structural and biological characteristics. In this study, we present a method for generating mimetic microclots in vitro.

When a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is suspected, management should begin with a well-defined diagnostic approach based on clinical evaluation and pre-test probability, D-dimer testing, and venous ultrasound. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is important to differentiate between proximal and distal DVT, as their treatment strategies differs. While numerous robust studies with a high level of evidence are available for proximal DVT, the optimal management of distal DVT remains debated.

Article Synopsis
  • Fracture-related infections remain a global concern after surgeries, despite existing prevention measures.
  • Tranexamic acid has been suggested as a protective drug that could reduce the risks of surgical wound complications and postoperative infections in orthopedic surgeries.
  • The exact mechanism of tranexamic acid’s protective effects is debated, with theories suggesting it may inhibit hematoma formation or directly prevent bacterial aggregation and biofilm development, thereby enhancing the immune response and antibiotic effectiveness.

Background/aim: The comparative risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) among users of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) is a topic of ongoing debate. This study leverages a comprehensive national health database to evaluate the incidence of GIB, associated risk factors, and postbleeding management strategies among anticoagulated patients.

Materials And Methods: Utilizing the Turkish Ministry of Health's e-Nabız system, we conducted a retrospective analysis of patients treated with DOACs and warfarin from January 2017 to July 2023.
