Factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is a rare coagulopathy with an estimated prevalence of approximately 1 in 1 to 2 million, affecting males and females with equal frequency. FXIII plays a critical role in hemostasis by stabilizing fibrin clots through covalent cross-linking of fibrin monomers, thereby conferring mechanical resistance and durability to the clot structure. Clinically, FXIII deficiency presents with a spectrum of hemorrhagic manifestations including bleeding from the umbilical cord, intracranial hemorrhage, recurrent miscarriages, menorrhagia, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, and poor wound healing.

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: Massive hemorrhage is a leading cause of mortality among trauma patients. To date, whole blood (WB) remains the preferred resuscitation fluid on the battlefield and in pre-hospital emergency care. However, components of WB inevitably undergo storage-related damage, and differences in the duration of storage may lead to varying clinical outcomes after transfusion.

Reviewing the Developing Significance of the Serine Protease PRSS23.

Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)

August 2025

Institute of Genomic Medicine Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, 21589 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The serine protease 23 (PRSS23) is a highly conserved member of trypsin-like serine proteases, which are associated with numerous essential processes, including digestion, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, development, fertilization, apoptosis, and immunity. Original reports on PRSS23 unfolded not earlier than 2006 when a molecular biology study characterized and described PRSS23 as an ovarian protease. Then, in 2012, another important study was published linking PRSS23 with proliferation of breast cancer cells by an estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-dependent transcriptional activation of the serine protease.

Talin autoinhibition is required for normal hemostasis.

Platelets

December 2025

Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The integrin family of extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion receptors plays a central role in platelet function, including adhesion and aggregation. In resting platelets, integrins exist in a low-affinity state for their ligands, and are activated upon ligand binding to the extracellular domain or binding of cytoplasmic proteins such as talin to the intracellular β-tail. Talin function is regulated through autoinhibition, which reduces its integrin-activating function.
