Detection of Plasma Protease Activity Using Microsphere-Cytometry Assays with E. coli Derived Substrates: VWF Proteolysis by ADAMTS13. [PDF]
Protease levels in human blood are often prognostic indicators of inflammatory, thrombotic or oncogenic disorders. The measurement of such enzyme activities in substrate-based assays is complicated due to the low prevalence of these enzymes and steric ...

Elevated plasma neutrophil elastase concentration is associated with disease activity in patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Genetic and autoimmune risk factors contribute to the development of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) but triggers are needed to bring about acute disease.

Plasma level and clinical significance of ADAMTS13 in patients with primary membrous nephropathy
ObjectivePatients with primary membrous nephropathy (PMN) have an elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this study was to detect plasma level of ADAMTS13 in PMN patients complicated and uncomplicated by VTE and examine their clinical ...

ADAMTS13 gene deletion enhances plasma high-mobility group box1 elevation and neuroinflammation in brain ischemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
Highly adhesive glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer induces platelet aggregation and leukocyte tethering or extravasation on the injured vascular wall, contributing to microvascular plugging and inflammation in brain ischemia-reperfusion. A

Performance related factors are the main determinants of the von Willebrand factor response to exhaustive physical exercise [PDF]
Background: Physical stress triggers the endothelium to release von Willebrand Factor (VWF) from the Weibel Palade bodies. Since VWF is a risk factor for arterial thrombosis, it is of great interest to discover determinants of VWF response to physical ...

ABSTRACT Thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are among the most common hematological abnormalities in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD), particularly among those with cirrhosis. Thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are associated with increased risks of bleeding, infection, treatment delay, and poor clinical outcomes.
