Fondaparinux, a synthetic pentasaccharide anticoagulant based on heparin antithrombin-binding domain, is derived from a chemical synthesis with more than 50 steps. Herein, we identified nine analogues separated from commercially available crude fondaparinux sodium, and tested their anticoagulant activity in vitro. Based on the activity results, the most active derivative Rrt1.17 was chemically synthesized. Biological properties in vitro and in vivo indicated that the well-defined derivative Rrt1.17 was a more efficient anticoagulant candidate compared with fondaparinux.

This study employed high-pressure microfluidization (HPM) to facilitate the Maillard reaction between quinoa protein (QP) and dextran (DX), systematically examining the effects of various pressures on the conjugate's physicochemical properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of QP-DX conjugates, characterized by a new peak at 1149 cm (covalent CN bond). Secondary and tertiary structure analyses revealed that HPM-assisted Maillard reaction partially unfolded QP molecules, enhancing conformational flexibility and interfacial properties.

Small-caliber artificial blood vessels are highly demanded and face challenges, including thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. The excellent properties of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) make it an excellent material for preparing artificial blood vessels. Heparin (Hep)-loaded silk fibroin microparticles (SFMPs) were synthesized in situ within the conduit wall via liquid pressure injection and phase separation, aiming to improve BNC's anticoagulant properties.

Background: This study aimed to determine the reliability and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in elderly patients compared with younger patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, ERCP procedures performed in our endoscopy unit between December 2020 and October 2024 were reviewed. Elderly patients aged ≥80 years (AA group) and younger patients aged <65 years (control group) were included.

This study aimed to improve the efficiency of decellularization and enhance the functional properties of vascular grafts to optimize their application in vascular repair. Rabbit abdominal aortas were used as the decellularization target, and ultrasound-assisted decellularization was performed using intermittent ultrasound at 100 W power, 20 kHz frequency, and 4 °C. Rabbit abdominal aortas were subjected to three different decellularization techniques.

Objective: Stroke caused by atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with high mortality and severe morbidity. Screening patients for AF may facilitate early initiation of anticoagulant therapy and prevent recurrent stroke; therefore, strategies to effectively detect AF in stroke patients are important.
Methods: This prospective multicenter study was conducted between April 27, 2020 and March 31, 2021 at seven sites in Japan, as a substudy of the STABLED trial, a multicenter prospective randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation with anticoagulant therapy using edoxaban in patients with ischemic stroke and AF.
