3-O-sulfation of heparan sulfate (HS) is the key determinant for binding and activation of Antithrombin III (AT). This interaction is the basis of heparin treatment to prevent thrombotic events and excess coagulation. Antithrombin-binding HS (HSAT) is expressed in human tissues, but is thought to be expressed in the subendothelial space, mast cells, and follicular fluid.

Objective: To study the application of thrombolysis diagram (TEG) and routine coagulation test in the evaluation of coagulation function in patients with hepatic hydatid.

Methods: The observation group consisted of 69 cases of hydatid liver patients undergoing elective combined segmenectomy, and the control group consisted of 69 healthy subjects. The correlation analysis of TEG, six coagulation items and PLT in the preoperative observation group and control group was conducted.

Background: Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Several changes are induced in both coagulant and anticoagulant factors, of which the impact on protein S (PS) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) may be especially important. The global thrombin generation (TG) assay, which accounts for all pro- and anticoagulant factors, can be used to evaluate the effect of the changes of PS and TFPI using antibodies to eliminate the effect of these inhibitors.

Background: Inherited thrombophilia (IT) is a genetically determined predisposition to thromboembolic events. Beyond the well-known G20210A mutation, there has been limited research on other prothrombin mutations in the Chinese population.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify and characterize a novel prothrombin mutation in a Han Chinese family with IT.

Coagulation factor XII has been identified as a potential drug target that could prevent thrombosis without increasing the risk of bleeding. However, human data to support the development of factor XII-directed therapeutics are lacking. To assess the role of factor XII in venous thromboembolism, we examine genetic variation in the coding region of the F12 locus across 703,745 participants in the UK Biobank and NIH All of Us biorepositories.
