Objective:To explore the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium in preventing lower limb deep vein thrombosis after rectal cancer surgery.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 30 rectal cancer patients with postoperative subcutaneous injection of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium in Beijing Hepingli Hospital from February 2018 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and 30 patients wearing antithrombotic elastic socks during the same period were selected as controls. In the antithrombotic elastic socks group, the appropriate thrombotic elastic socks were selected according to the actual situation of the patients after operation. Low-molecular-weight heparin calcium group was given subcutaneous injection of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium on the 2nd day after operation. The indexes of coagulation function, situation of postoperative lower limb deep vein thrombosis and perioperative indexes were analyzed.Results:The age of patients in the low-molecular-weight heparin calcium group was (62±12) years old, with 17 women and 13 men. The age of patients in the antithrombotic elastic socks group was (63±1) years old, with 18 women and 12 men. Before prevention, there were no significant differences in platelet count (Plt), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (D-D) levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After prevention, the FIB and D-D levels of patients in the low-molecular-weight heparin calcium group [(3.3±0.7) g/L and (341±30) μg/L] were lower than those in the antithrombotic elastic socks group [(4.9±0.6) g/L and (428±40) μg/L] ( t values were 9.51 and 9.61, both P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in Plt, APTT, TT and PT between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The rate of lower limb deep vein thrombosis in the low-molecular-weight heparin calcium group was lower than that in the antithrombotic elastic socks group [6.67% (2/30) vs. 26.67% (8/30), χ2 = 4.32, P < 0.05]. The drainage flow of anterior sacral drainage tube in the two groups decreased gradually on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th day after surgery, but there were no significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The thrombosis time of patients in the low-molecular-weight heparin calcium group was longer than that in the antithrombotic elastic socks group [(84±9) h vs. (73±10) h, t = 4.81, P < 0.05], but there were no significant differences between the two groups in the intraoperative bleeding amount, operation time and postoperative hospital stay (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Compared with antithrombotic elastic socks, low-molecular-weight heparin calcium is more effective and safer in the prevention of lower limb deep vein thrombosis after rectal cancer surgery.

Results:Compared with those before treatment, the levels of APTT [ (18.46±1.87) vs (11.58±1.25) s, (18.11±1.82) vs (15.57±1.58) s],PT[ (29.53±3.01) vs (22.57±2.36) s, (29.14±2.93) vs (25.48±2.61) s], D-dimer [ (842.59±85.12) vs (435.62±44.57) g/L, (846.63±84.75) vs (551.79±55.64) g/L],PaCO 2[ (58.79±5.92) vs (42.53±4.26) mmHg, (59.14±5.96) vs (50.38±5.07) mmHg],ET-1[ (106.78±10.72) vs (65.37±6.64) ng/L, (105.96±10.61) vs (72.53±7.31) ng/L],ICAM-1[ (231.48±23.35) vs (142.63±14.57) μg/L, (228.79±23.12) vs (165.48±16.72) μg/L], CRP [ (80.39±18.53) vs (9.77±2.08) mg/L, (80.64±19.17) vs (14.86±3.16) mg/L] and mMRC [ (2.64±0.31) vs (1.42±0.22) points, (2.71±0.34) vs (1.78±0.27) points] in both groups were greatly decreased after treatment ( P<0.05), and compared with the routine group, the heparin group were greatly lower ( P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the levels of SaO 2[ (0.54±0.15) vs 0.82±0.24) mmHg, (0.56±0.16) vs (0.67±0.20) mmHg],PaO 2[ (56.32±5.65) vs (80.47±8.12) mmHg, (56.89±5.72) vs (72.13±7.25) mmHg],NO[ (54.31±5.46) vs (96.78±10.02) μmol/L, (53.27±5.35) vs (85.64±8.62) μmol/L],FEV1[ (1.21±0.32) vs (1.89±0.45) %, (1.25±0.34) vs (1.57±0.41) %],FVC[ (3.41±0.35) vs (3.78±0.42) L, (3.37±0.32) vs (3.56±0.36) L],FEV1%[ (80.74±8.15) vs (88.46±8.75) %, (79.53±8.02) vs (83.82±8.41) %] in the two groups after treatment were greatly increased ( P<0.05), and compared with the routine group, the heparin group were greatly increased ( P<0.05). A 3-year follow-up of the patients showed that there were 11 survivors in the heparin group (accounting for 36.67%), which was more than that of the conventional group (7 survivors, accounting for 23.33%) ( χ2=8.310, P=0.004) . Conclusion:Low molecular weight heparin can effectively enhance the coagulation function, pulmonary function and vascular endothelial function, regulate blood gas indexes, ameliorate dyspnea in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer, and improve patient prognosis.

Objective:To explore the role and preliminary mechanism of heparin-binding protein (HBP) in the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) through clinical analysis and animal models.Methods:(1) Clinical research: Blood samples were collected from AP patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 1 to December 31, 2021 within 30 min of admission, including 20 patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and 20 patients with non-severe acute pancreatitis (NSAP). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of HBP, syndecan-1 and hyaluronic acid (HA). Modified CT severity index (MCTSI), another 20 healthy volunteers were selected as controls (HC). Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between HBP and syndecan-1, HA and MCTSI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate HBP to predict AP severity. (2)Animal experiment: The rat model of acute pancreatitis was prepared by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine. In the normal control group (NC, n=8), the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) intervention group ( n=8), and the acute pancreatitis group ( AP, n=8), the rats were euthanized 12 h later, and peripheral venous blood was collected to detect the levels of HBP, syndecan-1 and HA. Lung tissue and pancreas tissue were collected to observe the pathological damage, and the polysaccharide coating damage of vascular endothelial cells was observed under a fluoroscopy electron microscope. Results:The level of HBP at admission was significantly higher in the AP group than in the HC group, and the increase in the SAP group was more obvious. Correlation analysis showed that HBP was positively correlated with syndecan-1, HA and MCTSI. Animal studies found that the levels of HBP, syndecan-1 and HA in the AP group were significantly higher than those in the NC group. The pancreatic pathological score showed that the AP group was significantly increased, and the fluoroscopy electron microscope showed that the vascular polysaccharide coating was complete in the NC group, and the structure of the AP group was severely damaged. After LMWH intervention, the structure shedding and damage were significantly reduced, and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions:HBP can promote the progression of AP, which is related to the destruction of the polysaccharide coating structure of endothelial cells and the increase of vascular permeability caused by HBP.

Abstract Objective The present study describes the preferences and current practices of a sample of knee surgeons in Brazil regarding thromboprophylaxis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Method In the present internet survey, surgeons from the Brazilian Knee Surgery Society (SBCJ, in the Portuguese acronym) voluntarily answered an anonymous questionnaire including time of personal surgical experience, perceptions about the best thromboprophylaxis options, and actual practices in their work environment. Results From December 2020 to January 2021, 243 participants answered the questionnaire. All, except for 3 (1.2%), reported using thromboprophylaxis, and most (76%) combined pharmacological and mechanical techniques. The most prescribed drug was enoxaparin (87%), which changed to rivaroxaban (65%) after discharge. The time of thromboprophylaxis initiation varied according to the length of training of the knee surgeon (p ≤ 0.03), and their preferences and practices differed according to the Brazilian region (p< 0.05) and the health system in which the surgeons work (public or private sector; p= 0.024). The option for mechanical thromboprophylaxis also depended on the training time of the surgeon. Conclusion Thromboprophylaxis preferences and practices in TKA are diverse across Brazilian regions and health systems (public or private sectors). Given the lack of a national clinical guideline, most orthopedists follow either their hospital guidelines or none. The mechanical prophylaxis method and the little use of aspirin are the points that most diverge from international guidelines and practices.
Resumo Objetivo Descrever as preferências e práticas atuais de uma amostra de cirurgiões de joelho do Brasil quanto à forma de tromboprofilaxia na artroplastia total do joelho (ATJ). Método presente pesquisa realizada pela internet, cirurgiões associados à Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Joelho (SBCJ) foram convidados a responder voluntariamente a um questionário anônimo incluindo o tempo de experiência cirúrgica pessoal, percepções sobre as melhores opções de tromboprofilaxia e as reais práticas no ambiente onde trabalham. Resultados Entre dezembro de 2020 e janeiro de 2021, 243 participantes responderam ao questionário completo. Exceto por 3 (1,2%) participantes, todos declararam praticar tromboprofilaxia, a maioria (76%) combinando as formas farmacológica e mecânica. A droga mais prescrita é a enoxaparina (87%), com modificação para rivaroxabana (65%) após a alta. O momento de início da tromboprofilaxia variou conforme o tempo de formação do cirurgião de joelho (p ≤ 0,03) e as preferências e práticas variaram conforme a região do país (p< 0,05) e o sistema de saúde no qual trabalham os cirurgiões (público ou privado; p= 0,024). A opção por tromboprofilaxia mecânica também dependeu do tempo de formação do cirurgião. Conclusão As preferências e práticas de tromboprofilaxia na ATJ são diversas nas regiões do Brasil e sistemas de saúde (público ou privado). Dada a inexistência de uma diretriz clínica nacional, a maior parte dos ortopedistas segue ou a diretriz de seu próprio hospital ou nenhuma. O método de profilaxia mecânica e a pouca utilização do ácido acetilsalicílico são os pontos que mais destoam das diretrizes e práticas internacionais.

Résumé
Worldwide, about 13% of the 200,000 annual recipients of prosthetic heart valves (PHV) present for various surgical procedures. Also, more and more females are opting for pregnancies after having PHV. All patients with PHV present unique challenges for the anesthesiologists, surgeons and obstetricians (in case of deliveries). They have to deal with the perioperative management of anticoagulation and a host of other issues involved. We reviewed the English language medical literature relevant to the different aspects of perioperative management of patients with PHV, particularly the guidelines of reputed societies that appeared in the last 20 years. Regression of cardiac pathophysiology following valve replacement is variable both in extent and timeline. The extent to which reverse remodeling occurs depends on the perioperative status of the heart. We discussed the perioperative assessment of patients with PHV, including focused history and relevant investigations with the inferences drawn. We examined the need for prophylaxis against infective endocarditis and management of anticoagulation in such patients in the perioperative period and the guidelines of reputed societies. We also reviewed the conduct of anesthesia, including general and regional anesthesia (neuraxial and peripheral nerve/plexus blocks) in such patients. Finally, we discussed the management of delivery in this group of high?risk patients. From the discussion of different aspects of perioperative management of patients with PHV, we hope to guide in formulating the comprehensive plan of management of safe anesthesia in such patients.
Résumé
Background: The term “miscarriage” represents a demise of a fetus before it attains maturity. It encompasses all miscarriages between the time of conceive and the end of the pregnancy. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are one of the major reasons for thrombosis in pregnancy causing miscarriages. Since low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) produces fewer thrombocytopenia and is associated with reduced incidence of osteoporosis, it can be given once daily, therefore, it might have significant benefits compared with unfractionated heparin in at risk pregnancy. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to assess pregnancy outcomes after therapy with traditional aspirin supplemented with LMWH among women who are pregnant experiencing thrombosis-related diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APLA) syndrome and IVF pregnancies. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective analysis with a purposive sample of 61 pregnant women who had thrombosis risk factors. Thirty of the pregnancies were confirmed cases for APLA syndrome, whereas the other 30 were IVF conceptions. The comorbid factors were older age, a past of miscarriages, nulliparous IVF pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, diabetes, and obesity. IVF pregnancy accompanied with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was one of the cases. Study participants were administered a regular preventive medication of 40/60 mg s.c. as well as 75/150 mg of oral aspirin. All through gestation, according to patient’s registration weight, were administered every day. Heparin was stopped 24 h before the actual scheduled delivery, while aspirin had been stopped 3–4 days earlier. Results: In this study, 58 live births have been recorded, including 10 cases of preeclampsia, 10 of intrauterine growth retardation, two of eclampsia, two of intrauterine death infants, and two of abortions. There were 18 premature deliveries, nine multiple birth pregnancies, and 35 full-term pregnancies among the live births. There were no cases of HELLP syndrome, placental abruption, and stillbirths. In addition, heparin therapy cured one incidence of post-operative thrombosis of deep veins in pregnancy. It was also observed that early LMWH application to pregnant women with thrombosis risk was able to lower the incidence of miscarriages, gestational fetal death, and decreased weight at birth, and cases of HELLP syndromes. Furthermore, the therapeutic dose in high-risk case of post-delivery deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities cured the mother. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that the application of LMWH enhanced the obstetric outcome in pregnant women having increased risk for thrombosis. In future pregnancies with thrombosis risk factors, employing LMWH in conjunction with the documented therapeutic approach may result in a better obstetric outcome.
Résumé
Os anticoagulantes e antiagregantes plaquetários são medicamentos utilizados por uma grande parcela da população mundial. Eles são utilizados para prevenir que pacientes de risco desenvolvam doenças cardiovasculares, como o infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) ou o acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Por serem muito utilizados, constantemente o cirurgião-dentista poderá se deparar em sua rotina clínica, com pacientes usuários de anticoagulantes ou antiagregantes. Neste caso, o profissional precisará estar ciente das normas mais atuais de manejo com cada um dos tipos de medicamentos, para que o tratamento seja realizado com sucesso. No presente trabalho, é proposto um Protocolo Operacional Padrão (POP), que pode ser seguido no momento de realizar cirurgias orais em pacientes em uso de Varfarina, Ácido Acetil Salicílico, Heparina de Baixo Peso Molecular, Heparina Não Fracionada, Rivaroxabana e Clopidogrel.
Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents are drugs used by a large portion of the world population. They are used to prevent at-risk patients from developing cardiovascular diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke (stroke). Because they are widely used, the dental surgeon may constantly encounter patients using anticoagulants or anti-aggregating agents in their clinical routine. In this case, the professional will need to be aware of the most current management standards with each type of medication, so that the treatment is carried out successfully. In the present work, a Standard Operational Protocol (POP) is proposed, which can be followed when performing oral surgeries on patients using Warfarin, Acetyl Salicylic Acid, Low Molecular Weight Heparin, Unfractionated Heparin, Rivaroxaban and Clopidogrel.

Resumen A pesar de la tromboprofilaxis estándar, el diagnóstico de trombosis es común en pacientes críticos con COVID-19. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la incidencia de trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) en pacientes con neumonía grave por COVID-19 con requerimientos de asistencia respiratoria mecánica, bajo tromboprofilaxis química con dosis intermedia (1 mg/kg/día) de heparina de bajo peso molecular (enoxaparina). Se trató de un estudio unicéntrico, descriptivo y de corte transversal de datos recopilados en forma prospectiva. Se realizó búsqueda activa y sistemática de TVP en miembros inferiores (o en confluente yúgulosubclavio en su defecto) mediante doppler venoso cada 7 días. Se continuó con la evaluación por doppler semanal hasta la finalización de la ventilación mecánica, el cum plimiento de los 28 días de internación en unidad de cuidados intensivos, el fallecimiento o la suspensión de la tromboprofilaxis con enoxaparina por cualquier causa. Se incluyeron 46 pacientes. Se realizó diagnóstico de TVP en 5 (3 en miembros inferiores y 2 en con fluente yúgulosubclavio). Tres diagnósticos de TVP fueron asociados a la presencia de catéter venoso central (2 en miembros inferiores y 1 en el confluente yúgulosubclavio), dos fallecieron durante el seguimiento por causas vinculadas al síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo (SDRA) pero no por eventos trombóticos o de sangrado mayor. En todos los casos, los eventos trombóticos fueron asintomáticos. En nuestra serie de pacientes con SDRA moderado/grave secundario a neumonía por COVID-19, la incidencia de TVP fue del 10.9% en aquellos bajo tromboprofilaxis con dosis intermedia (1 mg/kg/día) de enoxaparina.
Abstract Despite standard thrombo prophylaxis, venous thrombosis is common in critically ill patients with COVID-19. The objective of this study was to evaluate deep venous thrombosis (DVT) incidence in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia with mechanical ventilation requirements under intermediate dose of chemical thromboprophylaxis (1 mg/kg/day of enoxaparin). This was a single-center, descriptive, cross-sectional study of prospectively collected data. An active and systematic protocol with venous doppler was carried out for DVT diagnosis in lower limbs (or in jugulo-subclavian venous confluence) every 7 days. Weekly doppler evaluation was continued until the end of mechanical ventilation, up to 28 days of intensive care unit admission, until death or until the thromboprophylaxis suspension for any cause. Forty-six patients were included. DVT was diagnosed in 5 (3 in lower limbs and 2 in jugulo-subclavian conflu ent). In 3 cases, DVT was catheter-related (2 in lower limbs and 1 in jugulo-subclavian confluent), 2 died during follow-up due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complications without thrombotic events or major bleeding. All thrombotic events were asymptomatic. In our series of patients with moderate/severe COVID-19 ARDS, DVT incidence was 10.9% under thromboprophylaxis with intermediate dose (1 mg/kg/ day) of enoxaparin.
Résumé
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention among real-world surgical inpatients who received panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) combined with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).@*METHODS@#A prospective cohort study was conducted among surgical patients between January 2016 and November 2018 in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Participants received LMWH alone or PNS combined with LMWH for preventing DVT. The primary outcome was incidence of lower extremity DVT, which was screened once a week. Participants in the LMWH group were given LMWH (enoxaparin) via hypodermic injection, 4000-8000 AxalU once daily. Participants in the exposure group received PNS (Xuesaitong oral tablets, 100 mg, 3 times daily) combined with LMWH given the same as LMWH group.@*RESULTS@#Of the 325 patients screened for the study, 281 participants were included in the final analysis. The cohort was divided into PNS + LMWH group and LMWH group with 134 and 147 participants, respectively. There was a significant difference of DVT incidence between two groups (P=0.01), with 21 (15.7%) incident DVT in the PNS + LMWH group, and 41 (27.9%) incident DVT in the LMWH group. Compared with participants without DVT, the participants diagnosed with DVT were older and had higher D-dimer level. The multivariate logistic regression model showed a significant lower risk of incident DVT among participants in the PNS + LMWH group compared with the LMWH group (odds ratio 0.46, 95% confidence interval, 0.25-0.86). There were no significant differences in thromboelaslography values (including R, K, Angle, and MA) and differences in severe bleeding between two groups. No symptomatic pulmonary embolism occurred during the study.@*CONCLUSION@#Combined application of PNS and LMWH can effectively reduce the incidence of DVT among surgical inpatients compared with LMWH monotherapy, without increased risk of bleeding.

@#BACKGROUND: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a pneumatic compression device (PCD) combined with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in trauma patients. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed 286 patients with mild craniocerebral injury and clavicular fractures admitted to our department from January 2016 to February 2020. Patients treated with only LMWH served as the control group, and patients treated with a PCD combined with LMWH as the observation group. The incidence of DVT, postoperative changes in the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and coagulation function were observed and compared between the two groups. Excluding the influence of other single factors, binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the use of a PCD in the patient's postoperative coagulation function. RESULTS: After excluding 34 patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, 252 patients were were included. The incidence of DVT in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (5.6% vs. 15.1%, χ2=4.605, P<0.05). The postoperative VAS scores of the two groups were lower than those before surgery (P<0.05). The coagulation function of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with a better combined anticoagulant effect (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in preoperative or postoperative Glasgow Coma Scale scores, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative infection rate, or length of hospital stay (P>0.05). According to logistic regression analysis, the postoperative risk of DVT in patients who received LMWH alone was 1.764 times that of patients who received LMWH+PCD (P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and platelet (PLT) were greater than 0.5, indicating that they were the influence indicators of adding PCD to prevent DVT. Excluding the influence of other variables, LMWH+PCD effectively improved the coagulation function of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with LMWH alone, LMWH+PCD could improve blood rheology and coagulation function in patients with traumatic brain injury and clavicular fracture, reduce the incidence of DVT, shorten the length of hospital stay, and improve the clinical effectiveness of treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of plasma thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT) levels in patients with sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy(SIC).Methods:One hundred and seven sepsis patients who were admitted to intensive care units (ICU) of the 908th Hospital of Chinese PLA Logistical Support Force were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into sepsis group ( n=79) and the sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy group ( n=28) according to whether the cardiac ultrasound examination in 2 hours after admission, and the differences of each indicators between the two groups were compared including acute physiological and chronic health score (APACHEⅡ), lactate, blood routine, liver and kidney function, cardiac troponin I, N-terminal?pro-brain?natriuretic?peptide (NT-pro BNP), conventional coagulation tests and molecular markers of coagulation [tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex (t-PAIC), thrombomodulin (TM), TAT, plasmin-α2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC)].Logistical?regression?was?used?to analyze the?risk?factors?for sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was to analyze their cut-off values. The effect of low-molecular-weight heparin anticoagulation therapy on sepsis patients with TAT>8.26 ng/ml was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results:Compared with the cardiac troponin I[0.02(0.01, 0.09) ng/ml], NT-proBNP [1 118.09 (333.25, 2687.00) pg/ml], lactate[1.35(0.90, 2.60) mmol/L], TAT[6.50(3.94, 12.14) ng/ml], PIC[1.256 (0.668, 2.045) μg/ml] and t-PAIC[10.50 (6.70, 21.30) ng/ml] in sepsis group, the cardiac troponin I [0.75(0.01, 6.02) ng/ml], NT-proBNP[12 125.14(4 185.89, 33 611.62) pg/ml], lactate[2.35(1.43, 4.34) mmol/L], TAT[19.85 (9.08, 45.78) ng/ml], PIC[2.115 (0.878, 4.114) μg/ml] and t-PAIC [22.03(15.61,33.20) ng/ml] levels in the sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Logistical regression showed that positive NT-pro BNP and elevated TAT levels were independent risk factors for sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of plasma TAT level for predicting sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy was 0.78. The sensitivity and specificity at the cut-off value of plasma TAT level with 8.26 ng/ml were 0.82 and 0.63, respectively. Conclusions:The elevated TAT level was an independent risk factor for the development of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy. Low-molecular-weight heparin anticoagulation therapy can improve the 28-day survival rate of sepsis patients with TAT>8.26 ng/ml.

Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar los niveles de fibrinógeno (FBG) obtenidos por el método de Clauss con los obtenidos por el método de fibrinógeno derivado del tiempo de protrombina (FBG PT-d), con dos tromboplastinas, en pacientes anticoagulados con distintas drogas. Se estudiaron pacientes anticoagulados consecutivos: 105 con antagonistas de la vitamina K (AVK), 55 con heparina no fraccionada (HNF), 58 con heparina de bajo peso molecular (HBPM), 60 con rivaroxabán, 45 con apixabán, 60 con dabigatrán y 100 controles normales (CN). El FBG se determinó por el método de Clauss y FBG PT-d utilizando tromboplastina de cerebro de conejo o recombinante humana; los niveles de heparina, rivaroxabán y apixabán por método cromogénico anti Xa; el dabigatrán con el ensayo de tiempo de trombina diluido. Existió un sesgo positivo (p<0,001) al comparar el FBG PT-d vs. FBG por Clauss: CN: 13,7%, AVK: 31,8%, rivaroxabán: 34,8% y apixabán: 20,0% cuando se utilizó tromboplastina de conejo. En el caso de las muestras que contenían HBPM se observó este desvío con ambas tromboplastinas. El sesgo porcentual en presencia de dabigatrán y heparina no fraccionada no fue estadísticamente distinto del obtenido en el grupo control. El ensayo de FBG PT-d no debe utilizarse en pacientes anticoagulados con rivaroxabán, apixabán, HBPM o AVK, ya que sobreestima los niveles de FBG. El porcentaje de sesgo depende del tipo de tromboplastina utilizado y fue mayor con la de cerebro de conejo en el sistema de detección utilizado.
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare fibrinogen (FBG) results obtained by Clauss method (FBG-C) and by the prothrombin time-derived fibrinogen assay (FBG PT-d) with two thromboplastins in patients under anticoagulation. Consecutive anticoagulated patients were studied: 105 vitamin-K antagonist (VKA), 55 unfractioned heparin, 58 LMWH, 60 rivaroxaban, 45 apixaban and 60 dabigatran, and 100 healthy controls (NC). FBG-C was performed by Clauss and FIB PT-d with rabbit brain and human recombinant thromboplastins, respectively. Heparins, rivaroxaban and apixaban levels were measured by antiXa; dabigatran by thrombin diluted assay. A positive bias of FBG PT-d vs. FBG-C with both thromboplastins were seen in NC (13.7 and 19.0 % for HS and RP, respectively), but bias with HS in rivaroxaban, apixaban and VKA patients were significantly higher compared to NC: 34.8%, 20.0 % and 31.8 %, respectively. LMWH presented higher BIAS compared to NC with both thromboplastins. Samples with unfraction heparin and dabigatran presented similar bias to NC. FBG PT-d should not be used in patients under anticoagulant treatment because of an important overestimation of FBG could be obtained in these patients. The percentage of bias depends on the type of thromboplastin used; it was higher with rabbit brain thromboplastin in the detection system used.
Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar os níveis de fibrinogênio (FBG) obtidos pelo método de Clauss com aqueles obtidos pelo método do fibrinogênio derivado do tempo de protrombina (FBG PT-d), com duas tromboplastinas, em pacientes anticoagulados com diferentes drogas. Pacientes anticoagulados consecutivos foram estudados: 105 com antagonista da vitamina K (AVK); 55 com heparina não fracionada (UFH); 58 com heparina de baixo peso molecular (HBPM), 60 com rivaroxabana, 45 com apixabana, 60 com dabigatrana e 100 controles normais (CN). FBG foi determinado pelo método de Clauss e FBG PT-d usando tromboplastina de cérebro de coelho ou tromboplastina humana recombinante; níveis de heparina, rivaroxabana e apixabana pelo método cromogênico anti-Xa; dabigatrana com ensaio de tempo de trombina diluída. Há um viés positivo (p<0,001) ao comparar o FBG PT-d vs FBG de Clauss: CN: 13,7%; AVK: 31,8%, rivaroxabana: 34,8% e apixabana 20,0% quando foi utilizada tromboplastina de coelho. No caso das amostras contendo HBPM, esse desvio foi observado com ambas as tromboplastinas. O viés percentual na presença de dabigatrana e heparina não fracionada não foi estatisticamente diferente daquela obtida no grupo controle. O ensaio de FBG PT-d não deve ser usado em pacientes anticoagulados com rivaroxabana, apixabana, LMWH ou VKA, pois superestima os níveis de FBG. A porcentagem de viés depende do tipo de tromboplastina utilizado e foi maior com a de cérebro de coelho, no sistema de detecção utilizado.

【Objective】 To evaluate the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban in preventing portal vein system thrombosis （PVST） in patients with liver cirrhosis after splenectomy and pericardial devascularization. 【Methods】 Totally 76 cirrhotic patients underwent splenectomy and pericardial devascularization were randomly assigned to rivaroxaban treatment group （n=38） or low-molecular weight heparin （LMWH） plus warfarin treatment group （n=38）. The experimental group was given rivaroxaban 10 mg orally， once a day， for 30 days. The control group was given subcutaneous injection of 5000 IU low molecular weight heparin （LMWH） twice a day for 5 days and warfarin （initial dose 2.5 mg） orally once a day for 30 days. Both groups were followed up for 1 year. We compared the two groups in the incidence of PVST， recovery of liver function and coagulation function， decompensation of liver function， incidence of liver cancer， and active bleeding. 【Results】 Totally 18 patients （47.4%） in rivaroxaban group developed PVST， compared with 29 patients （76.3%） in LMWH plus warfarin group （P=0.024）. The incidence of PVST during the first year after operation was significantly lower in rivaroxaban group than in LMWH plus warfarin group （F=7.852， P=0.007）. The intra-group comparisons versus baseline showed that the liver function improved from POD 21 to POM 1， and coagulation function improved from POM 2 in rivaroxaban group. In contrast， the liver function improved from POM 1 to POM 2， and coagulation function improved from POM 4 in LMWH plus warfarin group. The two groups did not significantly differ in liver function decompensation， incidence of liver cancer， or active bleeding （all P>0.05）. 【Conclusion】 The prophylactic use of rivaroxaban significantly decreases the incidence of PVST after splenectomy and pericardial devascularization in cirrhotic patients compared to LMWH plus warfarin treatment. Besides， rivaroxaban treatment is safe and effective and is associated with improved liver and coagulation functions than LMWH plus warfarin treatment.

Conclusión El COVID-19 tiene importante actividad procoagulante y su tratamiento oportuno puede alterar el pronóstico. La evidencia explorada avala métodos sostenibles. Se necesita más evidencia para mejorar el manejo. Se recomienda un abordaje sistemático temprano de los pacientes con medidas terapéuticas sostenibles a la medida del sistema de salud.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify the procoagulant phenomenon in SARS-CoV-2 patients and propose sustainable therapeutic guidance for low-income countries. Methods A systematic review was conducted. It identified 5 observational studies from a scrutiny from 78 results. 712 patients were examined and the results were grouped according to mortality and severity. The comparison of the groups was interpreted using descriptive statistics. Results D-dimer values were significantly associated with greater severity and mortality. Prothrombin was associated in some observations with higher mortality, but in terms of severity it was inconclusive. Conclusion COVID-19 disease has significant procoagulant activity and its timely treatment can alter the prognosis. The explored evidence supports sustainable methods. More evidence is needed to improve management. An early systematic approach to patients with sustainable therapeutic measures tailored to the health system is recommended.
Résumé
Background: Recurrent pregnancy losses have commonly been defined as three or more consecutive spontaneous pregnancy losses. About 1-2% of women suffer from recurrent miscarriages. The cause is multifactorial such as uterine anomalies, endocrine disorders, immunological causes, infections, chromosomal anomalies and maternal autoimmune diseases. In 50-60% of cases recurrent pregnancy losses, the cause remains unclear. Objective of this study was to compare the maternal and fetal outcome in patients with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss treated with LMWH (Enoxaparin) vs Aspirin during pregnancy.Methods: Women with 3 or more pregnancy losses, aged between 18-40 years, booked for antenatal care and delivery in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2016 were followed till 6 months after delivery.Results: A total number of 146 women were assessed for eligibility. We had 62 women in Group A (aspirin group) and 84 women in Group E (enoxaparin group). Enoxaparin was given to all those ladies who had taken aspirin in previous pregnancies with no live outcome. Good neonatal outcome was observed with Enoxaparin.Conclusions: Live birth rates did not show significant difference between the two study groups. But empirical use of enoxaparin in patients with no live birth who have taken low dose aspirin in previous pregnancy had shown improved results, so enoxaparin should be used empirically as a first line agent in such cases.
