A Multidisciplinary Approach to Treating Hemoptysis from Bronchial Artery-Bronchus Fistula: A Case Report

Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology
Bronchovascular fistulas are rare yet lethal conditions capable of causing massive hemoptysis. To date, only one case of a bronchial artery-bronchial fistula has been reported. We report a patient with a bronchial artery-bronchial fistula treated using

A case of polycystic ovary syndrome with inevitable miscarriage and multi-site venous thrombosis caused by hereditary protein C deficiency

Gynecological Endocrinology, 2022
Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 18% of reproductive-aged women and raises the risk of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE), due to metabolic features and an apparent fibrinolytic state.

The detection of surfactant proteins A, B, C and D in the human brain and their regulation in cerebral infarction, autoimmune conditions and infections of the CNS [PDF]

, 2013
Surfactant proteins (SP) have been studied intensively in the respiratory system. Surfactant protein A and surfactant protein D are proteins belonging to the family of collectins each playing a major role in the innate immune system.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Early cirrhosis in a young female with protein C deficiency: An extremely unusual case report with review

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2016
Protein C deficiency is a well recognized risk factor for development of venous thromboembolism but has never been reported to be associated with development of liver cirrhosis .We report a case of a 26 years old female who presented with multiple ...

Protein and cell therapy for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency [PDF]

, 2009
Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is an enzyme principally secreted by the liver into the circulation where it esterifies cholesterol and plays a key role in high- density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. In familial and acquired (liver disease)

Ischemic stroke due to protein C deficiency.

, 1990
Plasma protein C exerts anticoagulatory effects by inactivating factors V and VIII. Hereditary protein C deficiency is transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder.

Early steps in mitochondrial protein import [PDF]

, 1990
The process of insertion of precursor proteins into mitochondrial membranes was investigated using a hybrid protein (pSc1-c) that contains dual targeting information and, at the same time, membrane insertion activity.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
