Hyper-reactive platelets and type 2 diabetes / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive process. With the course of the disease progress, microvascular and macrovascular complications always happen. Thrombotic events caused by macrovascular complications, including coronary heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases, are the main fatal factor for the patients with type 2 diabetes. Endothelial dysfunction, coagulative activation, impaired fibrinolysis, together with hyper-reactive platelets contribute to the diabetic prothrombotic state, which is strongly related to the macrovascular complications. In particular, the hyper-reactive platelets play a fundamental role among them. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by several metabolic dysfunctions such as hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and shortage, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, obesity, and dyslipidemia. These metabolic dysfunctions work together to promote the formation of hyper-reactive platelets, which are distinctive in type 2 diabetes. The regular antiplatelet drugs, like aspirin, show limited inhibitory effect on them. Hence, studying the mechanism behind the hyper-reactive platelets could provide a brand-new view on the prevention of macrovascular complications and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes.

Estados protrombóticos y pérdida de embarazo / Prothrombotic states and pregnancy loss / Estados protrombóticos e perda de gravidez

Resumen: Las pérdidas de embarazos son una complicación obstétrica frecuente. Se conoce que, 15% de las mujeres embarazadas tienen al menos una pérdida esporádica. El 5% experimentan 2 pérdidas, y hasta un 1% 3 o más. La edad materna avanzada, la multiparidad y el antecedente de pérdida de embarazo previo aumentan el riesgo. La vinculación de los estados protrombóticos, hereditarios y adquiridos, con las pérdidas de embarazo se relaciona con el hecho de que para que se mantenga el embarazo es necesario exista una adecuada circulación placentaria. A lo largo de los años se ha estudiado la relación que existe entre los diferentes estados protrombóticos hereditarios y adquiridos con estas complicaciones vasculares que determinan pérdidas de embarazo y complicaciones obstétricas. Se realiza una revisión sobre las trombofilias hereditarias y adquiridas con ésta entidad.

Abstract: Pregnancy losses are a common obstetric complication. It is known that 15% of pregnant women have at least one sporadic loss. 5% experience 2 losses, and up to 1% 3 or more. Advanced maternal age, multiparity, and a history of prior pregnancy loss increase the risk. The link between hereditary and acquired prothrombotic states with pregnancy losses is related to the fact that adequate placental circulation is necessary for the pregnancy to be maintained. Over the years, the relationship between the different hereditary and acquired prothrombotic states with these vascular complications that lead to pregnancy losses and obstetric complications has been studied. A review is carried out on the hereditary and acquired thrombophilias with this entity.

Resumo: A perda da gravidez é uma complicação obstétrica comum. Sabe-se que 15% das gestantes apresentam pelo menos uma perda esporádica. 5% experimentam 2 perdas e até 1% 3 ou mais. Idade materna avançada, multiparidade e história de perda de gravidez anterior aumentam o risco. A ligação entre os estados protrombóticos hereditários e adquiridos com as perdas gestacionais está relacionada ao fato de que a circulação placentária adequada é necessária para a manutenção da gravidez. Ao longo dos anos, estudou-se a relação entre os diferentes estados pró-trombóticos hereditários e adquiridos com essas complicações vasculares que levam à perda da gravidez e complicações obstétricas. É realizada uma revisão das trombofilias hereditárias e adquiridas com essa entidade.

Manifestaciones trombóticas en la neumonía viral por SARS-CoV-2 pacientes hospitalizados en el Hospital «Irma de Lourdes Tzanetatos¼, Panamá, Panamá. De marzo de 2020 a septiembre de 2020 / Thrombotic manifestations in viral neumonia by CoV-2-SARS hospitalized patients at «Irma Lourdes Tzanetatos¼ Hospital, Panama, Panama. March 2020 to September 2020

La respuesta a la infección viral produce un estado de trombosis o hipercoagulabilidad que, unido a la inflamación de las células endoteliales, puede generar disfunción plaquetaria y predisposición a la formación de trombos que, aunque con frecuencia son más venosos, también pueden aparecer en el sistema arterial y producir infartos a cualquier nivel así como tromboembolia e hipertensión pulmonar. Estas manifestaciones han sido captadas hospitalariamente y al egreso de los pacientes detectados por SARS-CoV-2 habiendo ya cumplido el tiempo establecido de virulencia. Los criterios diagnósticos de respuesta inmunológica trombótica asociada a COVID-19 (RITAC) ayudan a seleccionar al paciente que está predispuesto a esta condición; a esto se añade que el paciente ya tiene un diagnóstico de infección por SARS-CoV-2 (AU)

The response to viral infection produces a prothrombotic state of hypercoagulability , united with an inflammation of endothelial cells, It can generate platelet dysfunction and predisposition to the formation of thrombus, that, although, are more frequently venous, Also, it can appear in the arterial system and cause heart attacks at any level; thromboembolism and pulmonary hypertension, as well. These manifestations have been captured hospitably and with the egress of patients detected by SARS-CoV-2. The diagnostic criteria of RITAC (abbreviation in Spanish of Thrombotic Immune Response Associated to COVID-19), help to select the patient who is predisposed to this condition; adding that the patient already has a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection (AU)

Analysis of Clinical Features, Risk Factors and Laboratory Parameters in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Study of 70 Cases

Introduction: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has variableclinical presentations mimicking other neurological disorders.There is variation in risk factors for CVT in different areas.Study was done with the aim of analyzing the clinical features,risk factors and laboratory parameters on patients diagnosedwith CVT on Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) andMRI.Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, data of70 consecutive patients attending a private neurology centerwith CVT confirmed on MRV and MRI from May 2016 toApril 2019 was analyzed. Laboratory parameters emphasizedwere hemoglobin content, serum homocysteine level and lipidprofile.Results: Out of 70 patients, 48 were men and 22 women inthe age range of 14 to 71 years. Most common presentingsymptom was progressive headache (63 cases,90%) aloneor in combination with other symptoms like vomiting (22cases, 31.42%), hemiparesis (17 cases, 24.28%), ataxia(17 cases, 24.28%) and seizures (15 cases, 21.42%).Hyperhomocysteinemia was seen in 15 cases (21.42%),anemia in total 30 cases (42.85%), and alcoholism in sevencases (10%). Twenty four patients (34.28%) had high densitylipoprotein (HDL) level of less than 40mg/dl, five patients(7.14%) had total cholesterol more than 200mg/dl and threepatients (4.28%) had triglycerides more than 200mg/dl. Onepatient (1.42%) had protein S deficiency.Conclusion: CVT is an uncommon but treatable cause ofstroke in young patients. Due to variety of clinical presentation,a high degree of clinical suspicion is neccessory for correctdiagnosis and early treatment.

Objective: This study was designed to explore the presence of a prothrombotic state, fibrinolytic dysfunction and infammation in impaired glucose tolerance subjects, by evaluating serum markers of thrombosis, fibrinolysis and infammation. Methods: In 48 consecutive adults, 25 patients with impaired glucose tolerance (nine men and 16 women, 50.0 ±9.2 years) were compared with 23 control subjects (six men and 17 women, 48.0 ±11 years). The markers of thrombotic activation used were D-dimer and fibrinogen. Fibrinolysis dysfuntion was evaluated with plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and the infammatory marker studied was hs-C reactive protein (hs-CRP). Results: The markers of thrombotic state were significantly higher in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) than in controls: D dimer (489.6 ± 277.3 vs. 345.8 ± 158.9 ng/mL) (p < 0.01) and fibrinogen (317.7 ±32.1 vs. 266.7 ±25.4 mg/dL) (p < 0.0001). Fibrinolytic marker PAI-1 also differed significantly between the two study groups (66.4 ± 30.7 vs. 35.5 ± 31.0 ng/ mL) (p < 0.006). However, hs-CRP, as infammation marker, (0.45 ± 0.62 mg/dL vs. 0.38 ± 0.47) did not differ significantly between the two study groups (<0.28). Conclusion: This result suggests the presence of a prothrombotic state with fibrinolytic dysfunction in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.

Fribrinolysis Kinetics and Its Application / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

A new, convenient, and rapid method for kinetic measurement of human fibrinolysis was established. The alteration of absorbance (A) in the process of blood coagulation and lyses was automatically scanned and recorded using a UV2000 spectrophotometer connected to a computer. The parameters of human fibrinolysis kinetics were established. Urokinase at 20 U/mL was the optimal concentration used. There was significant difference in fibrinolysis kinetics and plasma plasminogen concentration between 22 normal subjects and 27 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (P＜0.05 and ＜0.01 respectively). The coefficience of variation was (5.24±1.51)%. This method could also be used to measure the plasma fibrinogen concentration at the same time. It was concluded that this method was stable and was capable of providing dynamic, direct experimental data and multiparemeters for clinicians. It was also valuable in evaluating the anti- and pro-fibrinolytic capcity of patients' plasmas, allowing for monitoring of therapy, choice of drugs and adjustment of drug concentrations.

Application of overall hemostasis potential experiment in the high-risk population of prethrombotic state / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective To investgate the application of overall hemostasis potential (OHP) experiment in the high-risk population of prethrombotic state (PTS). Methods The change of absorbance in fibrin formation and degradation was measured with a spectrophotometer at 340 nm when the plasma clotting was triggered by the low concentration of TF in the presence of urokinase. The OHP,overall coagulation potential (OCP) and the overall fibrinolysis potential (OFP) were obtained from the coagulation-fibrinolysis curve based on the computer analysis. To evaluate this OHP method,52 cancer patients,31 coronary artery disease patients,27 mid/late-stage pregnancy women and 100 healthy controls were detected. In addition,the plasma fibrinogen was detected and its correlation with OHP was studied. Results The level of OCP and OHP in PTS high-risk population was significantly higher in cancer,coronary heart disease patients and the mid/late-stage pregnancy women than in the healthy controls (P0.05). Conclusion The OHP assay may indicate the hemostatic balance; therefore,it can be used for evaluation of PTS.
