An inhibitor to procoagulant factor VIII (FVIIIC) developed in a patient three years after palliative resection of a bronchogenic carcinoma. The inhibitor was not active against ristocetin cofactor but possibly had some activity against factor XI. It responded to immunosuppressive therapy. This is apparently the first reported association of carcinoma and factor VIII inhibitor.

During the blood coagulation cascade, coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) is activated by thrombin to form activated factor VIII (FVIIIa). FVIIIa associates with platelet surfaces at the site of vascular damage to form an intrinsic tenase complex with activated factor IX. A working model for FVIII membrane binding involves the association of positively charged FVIII residues with negatively charged lipid headgroups and the burial of hydrophobic residues into the membrane interior.

Cystic degeneration (CD) in the liver is a cyst-like lesion composed of one or more pseudocysts lacking lining cells, occurring spontaneously in rats older than 12 months, with a male predilection. In this study, 32 CDs were identified in 23 out of 104 non-treated, control male Sprague-Dawley rats from two combined chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies with agrochemicals. They were examined histologically, histochemically, and immunohistochemically to assess the pathogenesis and pathological significance of CD, focusing on pseudocapillarization in aged rat liver.

Background: We previously identified a factor (F)VIII molecular defect associated with an R2159C mutation in the C1 domain (named "FVIII-Ise") together with undetectable FVIII antigen (FVIII:Ag) levels measured by two-site sandwich ELISA using an anti-C2 domain alloantibody (alloAb). The patient had clinically mild hemophilia A, and his reduced FVIII:C correlated with FVIII:Ag measured by ELISA using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with A2 and A2/B domain epitopes, suggesting that the R2159C mutation modified C2 domain antigenicity.
Aim: To investigate functional and structural characteristics of the FVIII-R2159C mutant.

Despite numerous reports on the procoagulant activities of G-CSF, the effect of plerixafor on the hemostatic system is not clearly understood. This study aims to evaluate the effects of plerixafor on the hemostatic system when used for autologous stem cell mobilization (ASCM) for poor mobilizers (PM) with lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Patients who were performed ASCM with plerixafor in combination with GCSF were prospectively enrolled.

Purpose: Adrenal vascular tumors are mainly represented by adrenal cavernous hemangiomas (ACHs) and adrenal cystic lymphangiomas (ACLs). Their radiological features often overlap with malignant tumors, therefore ruling out malignancy becomes mandatory. We analyzed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data to identify specific characteristics of these tumors.
