Abstract

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor is a naturally occurring protein inhibitor of factor X and the tissue factor-factor VII complex of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. The potential of tissue factor pathway inhibitor as a topical antithrombotic agent was evaluated in a rabbit model of thrombosis that combined intimal injury, anastomosis, and a twisted pedicle. In 207 rabbit ears, a near-complete amputation was performed, preserving the central ear artery and vein. The central ear artery was transected, the intima was removed mechanically over a 1-cm length, the artery was anastomosed, and the ear was twisted 360 degrees, wrapping the intact vein around the artery. Before recirculation, the lumen was irrigated on a blinded, randomized basis with either hirudin (100 or 500 units/ml), heparin (50 or 100 units/ml), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (10, 40, 125, or 250 microgram/ml), heparin and tissue factor pathway inhibitor together, or vehicle (control). Upon arterial reflow, the ears were observed for 7 days. Patency rates after 7 days were as follows: hirudin, 30 and 55 percent; heparin, 43 and 50 percent; tissue factor pathway inhibitor, 75 and 90 percent; heparin and tissue factor pathway inhibitor, 75 percent; and vehicle, ...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
