A variety of biomarkers have been identified in recent prospective and retrospective reports as being potentially predictive of venous thromboembolis (VTE), particularly idiopathic deep venous thrombosis (IDVT). This study identified a serum tumor biomarker for early screening of IDVT. A total of
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a well-known tumor marker of adenocarcinoma (reference range, 37 U/mL). It can also be used, together with computed tomography, to monitor responses and resistance to chemotherapy in cancer patients. False elevation of CA 19-9 levels is often seen in conditions
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are rare inborn diseases of glycan component of N-glycosylated proteins. We report here the case of a 28-year-old patient with CDG syndrome type Ia, who presented with a deep venous thrombosis in the left suro-popliteal vein with no known triggers or
A 6-year-old male patient presented with Budd-Chiari syndrome and glycoprotein abnormalities associated with carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I with yet unidentified molecular defect (type Ix). Budd-Chiari syndrome most likely developed after hepatic venous thrombosis caused by
An 8-year-old boy is described with borderline cognitive impairment, cerebellar hypoplasia, a stroke-like episode, and venous thrombosis of the left leg after a period of immobilization. The pattern of multiple abnormalities in blood coagulation suggested carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome
A case can be made for the participation of polymorphonuclears (PMN) in the initiation and propagation of venous thrombosis. In animal models leukocytes adhered to areas of veins that serve as sites for initiation of thrombi in patients. In addition, PMN are found in white layers of thrombin where
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) have high morbidity, reduce quality of life, and can cause death. Biomarkers or genetic risk factors have not been identified in patients with DVT. In present study, serum of 61 patients suffering from DVT and a rat DVT model (n = 10) were
Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein (CDG) syndrome type I is an autosomal recessive disease with multisystemic manifestations. During childhood the patients may suffer from hemorrhages, which may be lethal, venous thromboses and stroke-like episodes. In this study 15 patients with CDG syndrome type
Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that have a high affinity to galactosides on cell surfaces and extra cellular glycoproteins. They are involved in a variety of biological functions, including modulation of cell apoptosis, cell activation and inflammation. Our laboratory has
rt-PA-K, a variant of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) with substitution of amino acids 296 to 299 with alanine (KHRR296-299AAAA) has increased fibrin-specificity and reduced sensitivity to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; rt-PA-T, with threonine 103 replaced by asparagine has
Hormonal contraceptive methods are widely used in France, including not only oral estrogen-progestin combinations but also non-oral estrogen-progestin delivery methods (patches, vaginal rings), as well as oral forms, implants and intra-uterine devices that deliver only a progestin. Hormonal
A technique of diversion of the gastroduodenal vein in a canine model is described to compare long-term metabolic effects of systemic versus portal pancreatic endocrine drainage. The vein was transected at its entrance into the portal vein and either diverted to the inferior vena cava (systemic
We report a case of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with a giant adenomyosis. At admission, the patient demonstrated generalized seizures and consciousness disturbance. Brain fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging revealed a localized, high-intensity region in the
Trousseau's syndrome is characterized as an unexpected, cancer-related thrombotic event, such as a cerebral infarction or a deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism. We describe the first reported case of Trousseau's syndrome with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma and aggressive features. A 74 year-old
Org 36764, is an antithrombin III (AT) and thrombin binding carbohydrate, which accelerates the inactivation of both factor Xa and thrombin by AT. It displays in buffer an anti-Xa and anti-thrombin activity of 415 and 2 U/mg, respectively, compared to 172 and 114 U/mg, respectively, for
