In this study we investigated serum Lp(a) and plasma t-PA-PAI-1 complex levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and VDL cholesterol levels (p < 0.001) and HDL cholesterol levels (p < 0.01) in patients group were found to be significantly different from those in control group. The mean Lp(a) and t-PA-PAI-1 complex levels in patients with coronary heart disease were significantly higher as compared to control group (p < 0.001). This data indicate that the elevated levels of serum Lp(a) and plasma t-PA-PAI-1 complex may play an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection results in coagulation activation although it is usually not associated with consumption coagulopathy. D-dimers are also commonly elevated despite systemic hypofibrinolysis. To understand these unusual features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) coagulopathy, 64 adult patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (36 moderate and 28 severe) and 16 controls were studied.

Hyperfibrinolysis (HF) frequently occurs after severe systemic hypoperfusion during major trauma and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In trauma-induced HF, hypoperfusion, the activation of protein C (APC), and the release of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) have been identified as the driving elements of premature clot breakdown. The APC pathway also plays a role in inflammatory responses such as neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis), which might contribute to lysis through cleavage of fibrin by neutrophil elastases.

Materials And Methods: The study group included 302 patients (164 men, 138 women) who were admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of IS within 24 hours of the onset of the disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography.

Background & Aims: Bacterial infections in cirrhosis are associated with increased bleeding risk. To assess the factors responsible for bleeding tendency in patients with bacterial infections, we conducted a prospective study comparing all 3 aspects of hemostasis (platelets, coagulation, and fibrinolysis) in hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis with . without bacterial infections.

Objective: To investigate the blood coagulation function in COVID-19 patients, and the correlation between coagulopathy and disease severity.
Methods: We retrospectively collected 147 clinically diagnosed COVID-19 patients at Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital of Hubei, China. We analyzed the coagulation function in COVID-19 patients through the data including thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), α2-plasmininhibitor-plasmin Complex (PIC), thrombomodulin (TM), t-PA/PAI-1 Complex (t-PAIC), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), thrombin time (TT), D-Dimer (DD), and platelet (PLT).
