Induction of prothrombin synthesis by prothrombin fragments. [PDF]
The mechanisms by which blood levels of prothrombin (PT) are regulated in the vitamin K-sufficient state are unknown. We have studied PT synthesis by Reuber H-35 rat hepatoma cells exposed to vitamin K and [3H]leucine in serum-free cultures. Administration to the culture system of exogenous bovine PT and rat PT was characterized by increases in ...

The Conversion of Bovine Abnormal Prothrombin into Prothrombin [PDF]
In order to characterize the enzyme system which converts abnormal prothrombin (PIVKA-II) in prothrombin we prepared liver cell-free extracts from normal healthy cows. The enzyme system devoid of either precursor or prothrombin was isolated by differential centrifugation and partly purified with the aid of column chromatography.The carboxylation of ...

Three- versus four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate for the reversal of warfarin-induced bleeding [PDF]
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 3-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (3F-PCC) compared to 4-factor PCC (4F-PCC) in warfarin-associated bleeding. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective, cohort study

Pharmacokinetics and efficacy of oral versus intravenous mixed-micellar phylloquinone (vitamin K-1) in severe acute liver disease [PDF]
Background/Aims: In patients with severe acute liver dysfunction, i.v. phylloquinone (vitamin K-1) may be given to exclude vitamin K deficiency, rather than impaired hepatic synthesis of coagulation factors alone, as the cause of the coagulopathy ...

Oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, thrombophilias and risk of venous thromboembolism: a systematic review The Thrombosis: Risk and Economic Assessment of Thrombophilia Screening (TREATS) Study [PDF]
Combined oral contraceptives,oral hormone replacement therapy and thrombophilias are recognised risk factors for venous thromboembolism in women.The objective of this study was to assess the risk of thromboembolism among women with thrombophilia who are ...

How we treat bleeding associated with direct oral anticoagulants [PDF]
Direct oral anticoagulants are at least as effective as vitamin K antagonists for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolism. Unfortunately, differently from vitamin K antagonists, they have the great drawback of lacking specific antidotes in the ...

Non-canonical proteolytic activation of human prothrombin by subtilisin from Bacillus subtilis may shift the procoagulant\ue2\u80\u93anticoagulant equilibrium toward thrombosis [PDF]
Blood coagulation is a finely regulated physiological process culminating with the factor Xa (FXa)-mediated conversion of the prothrombin (ProT) zymogen to active -thrombin (T).

Hormonal replacement therapy, prothrombotic mutations and the risk of venous thrombosis [PDF]
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases the risk of venous thrombosis. We investigated whether this risk is affected by carriership of hereditary prothrombotic abnormalities.

Testing for inherited thrombophilia does not reduce the recurrence of venous thrombosis\ud [PDF]
Background: Inherited thrombophilia is only weakly associated with recurrence in patients with a first venous thrombosis (VT). In spite of this, thrombophilia testing is often performed in these patients. Positive results may influence patient management
