The fibrinolytic system was investigated in 115 patients with maturity-onset diabetes mellitus in good metabolic control and without thromboembolic manifestations. The patients were divided into 7 groups according to the hypoglycemic therapy: diet alone, tolbutamide, glibenclamide, phenformin, combination of the last two drugs, insulin, combination of insulin and phenformin. Our results indicate that in maturity-onset diabetes both fibrinolytic activity and inhibitors of fibrinolysis are increased. The enhanced fibrinolytic activity was not affected by different hypoglycemic drugs, whereas the main antiplasmins showed wide variations in the different treatment groups. In particular, a significant reduction of alpha 2M was observed in patients on glibenclamide therapy. In conclusion, our study showed that the high fibrinolytic state seems to be a constant element in diabetes, and that the different behaviors of the fibrinolytic system, reported by various authors in patients taking different hypoglycemic drugs, could be explained by the wide range of plasmin inhibitor levels observed in these conditions.

Objective: To analyze the dynamics of clinical and epidemiological indicators of stroke and the features of providing specialized care to patients in the Moscow region in the period 2019-2023.
Material And Methods: Mortality rates, the average annual population, and the number of deaths in one-year age groups were analyzed based on the «Brief Nomenclature of Causes of Death» by ROSSTAT and the database of the Registry Office of the Moscow Region. Depersonalized data on deceased individuals aged 18 years and older were obtained from this database, including codes and names of diseases or conditions specified in Parts I and II of the medical death certificate, age, sex, and place of death for the period 2019-2023.

The body weight-based thrombolytic medication strategy in clinical trials shows critical defects in recanalization rate and post-thrombolysis hemorrhage. Methods for perceiving thrombi heterogeneity of thrombolysis resistance is urgently needed for precise thrombolysis. Here, we revealed the relationship between the thrombin heterogeneity and the thrombolysis resistance in thrombi and created an artificial biomarker-based nano-patrol system with robotic functional logic to perceive and report the thrombolysis resistance of thrombi.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignancy with a substantial health burden and high mortality rate, despite advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. Compared with the global average, Asia, notably China, reports disproportionately high GC incidences. The disease often progresses asymptomatically in the early stages, leading to delayed diagnosis and compromised outcomes.

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complication of reperfusion therapy following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to develop and validate a model for predicting HT and its subtypes with poor prognosis-parenchymal hemorrhage (PH), including PH-1 (hematoma within infarcted tissue, occupying < 30%) and PH-2 (hematoma occupying ≥ 30% of the infarcted tissue)-in AIS patients following intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) based on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) and clinical data.
Methods: In this six-center retrospective study, clinical and imaging data from 445 consecutive IVT-treated AIS patients were collected (01/2018-06/2023).

Blood-contacting medical devices, especially extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (ECMOs), are highly susceptible to surface-induced coagulation because of their extensive surface area. This can compromise device functionality and lead to life-threatening complications. High doses of anticoagulants, combined with anti-thrombogenic surface coatings, are typically employed to mitigate this risk, but such treatment can lead to hemorrhagic complications.
