Minor labial salivary glands obtained at biopsy from 12 patients with Sjögren's syndrome were investigated by immunomorphological methods for the presence of fibrinolysis-resistant fibrin deposition. Fibrin could be found in extracellular localization between individual inflammatory cells infiltrating minor salivary glands. In the areas surrounding mononuclear infiltrations the labeling for fibrin showed an essentially fibrillar pattern. Staining for factor XIII A was observed over fibrin deposits and in large, stellate cells not showing reaction for fibrin. Here it is demonstrated that factor XIII A+ tissue macrophages are in an intimate relationship with fibrin deposits. The authors suggest that tissue macrophages may play a regulatory role in fibrin accumulation in association with autoimmune inflammation and consequently in demarcation of the inflamed tissue.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (aVEGF-TMA) was recently discovered in patients with malignant tumors. Four aVEGF-TMA patients diagnosed by renal biopsy between 2018 and 2022 were identified, and all were females aged 30-62 years (mean age, 47 years). Two patients with malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors who received sunitinib were analyzed.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infectious disease caused by the hematogenous dissemination of bacteria into heart valves. Improving the identification of pathogens that cause IE is important to increase the effectiveness of its therapy and reduce the mortality caused by this pathology. Ten native heart valves obtained from IE patients undergoing heart valve replacements were analyzed.

Introduction: Trauma and hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) are associated with multiple organ injury. Antithrombin (AT) has anti-inflammatory and organ protective activity through its interaction with endothelial heparan sulfate containing a 3-O-sulfate modification. Our objective was to examine the effects of T/HS on 3-O-sulfated (3-OS) heparan sulfate expression and determine whether AT-heparan sulfate interactions are necessary for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Objectives: Platelet concentrates (PCs), which are blood products that are abundant in platelets and growth factors, have become pivotal in treating maxillofacial tissue lesions due to their capacity for promoting bone and soft tissue recovery. This review will provide some recent progress of the use of platelet concentrates to treat lesions on maxillofacial tissues.
Subjects: We reviewed the mechanisms by which PCs promote wound healing and tissue recovery and summarized the application of PCs in the treatment of lesions on maxillofacial tissues, including medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, post-extraction wound healing, implant surgery, temporomandibular joint diseases, and periodontal tissue restoration.
Intravenous tenecteplase bridging reperfusion ameliorates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by improving microvascular circulation in rats.

Background: Endovascular treatment (EVT) alone was not demonstrated to be non-inferior to intravenous alteplase bridging EVT in acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Using cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model, intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) was administrated after ischemia followed by reperfusion at various time points.
Objectives: To investigate whether intravenous TNK bridging EVT vs EVT alone could improve I/R injury, and this effect may be associated with the time from TNK to reperfusion.
