Introduction: Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the use of recombinant Anti-Thrombin III (AT-III) administration during neonatal and pediatric short- and long-term mechanical support for the replacement of acquired deficiencies. Recombinant AT-III (Thrombate) administration is an FDA licensed drug indicated primarily for patients with hereditary deficiency to treat and prevent thromboembolism and secondarily to prevent peri-operative and peri-partum thromboembolism. Herein we propose further use of Thrombate for primary AT-III deficiency of the newborn as well as for acquired dilution and consumption secondary to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Background: Tamoxifen, which is one of the selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), can bring out life-threatening complication, e.g. hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis, although it is rare.

Background: The relationship between plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL), glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored HDL binding protein1 (GPIHBP1) concentration and the metabolism of remnant lipoproteins (RLP) and small dense LDL (sdLDL) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is not fully elucidated.
Methods: One hundred patients who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled. The plasma LPL, HTGL and GPIHBP1 concentrations were determined by ELISA.

Background: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a multifunctional protein and a key enzyme involved in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism. We determined the lipoproteins to which LPL is bound in the pre-heparin and post-heparin plasma.
Methods: Tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), a potent inhibitor of serine lipases, was used to block the lipolytic activity of LPL, thereby preventing changes in the plasma lipoproteins due to ex vivo lipolysis.

Background: Qualitative lipoprotein changes, such as an increase in fasting remnants, are reported in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). It was hypothesized that such changes are due to reduced hepatic lipase (HL) activity in SCH: HL is an enzyme regulated by thyroid hormones, and is involved in the degradation of triglyceride (TG)-rich remnants. This study aimed to quantify remnant-like lipoproteins (RLP), small dense LDL (sdLDL), and HL activity in women with SCH, and to assess these parameters after levothyroxine replacement therapy.
