P-19 A systematic review of outcome measures used to define oral anticoagulation therapeutic control&NA;Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis
In patients with a mechanical heart valve, coagulation activation and thrombin generation induced by the release of tissue factor during surgery may explain the higher risk of early thromboembolic complications. Thrombin generation can also be triggered by exposure of the blood to the artificial surface...
The mechanism of action of heparin on the coagulation system is well characterized at molecular level and acts by carbohydrate-protein interaction resulting in proteases inhibition mediated by serpins1. World consumption of heparin has been increasing significantly mainly due to more precise diagnosis of...
From a biological perspective, our findings also illustrate the multi-functionality of thrombin. Being a major enzyme of the coagulation cascade, thrombin acts as a procoagulant converting soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin to initiate wound repair. However, the biological function of thrombin expan...
Rationale Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a multimeric glycoprotein that recruits platelets to sites of blood vessel injury and serves as a molecular chaperone for coagulation factor VIII (fVIII). Plasma VWF levels are a known risk factor for various thrombotic disorders including VTE, myocardial ...
This library was used to determine the extended substrate specificities of two trypsin-like enzymes, plasmin and thrombin, which are involved in the blood coagulation pathway. The optimal P4 to P2 substrate specificity for plasmin was P4-Lys/Nle (norleucine)/Val/Ile/Phe, P3-Xaa, and P2-Tyr...
