In order to study the effects of Gagamyounjo-Tang(加減潤燥湯) on the experimentally hypercoagulable state and hyperlipidemia in rats, we have made the hypercoagulable state in rats by injection of Bothrops jararaca venom (0.1ml/200g : Control group), and have administered solid extract of Gagamyounjo-Tang(加減潤燥湯)(132mg/200g : Sample group). After 1 hour we measured the platelet count, fibrinogen level, APTT, FDP and D-dimer. And we have made the hyperlipidemia in rats by injection of Triton WR-1339 for 3 days(30mg/200g/day : Control group), and have administered solid extract of Gagamyounjo-Tang(加減潤燥湯)(132mg/200g : Sample group), then we measured the total cholesterol, triglyceride, phoshpolipid and HDL-cholesterol levels. The results are summarized as follows : 1. In the hypercoagulable state, Sample group significantly decreased in platelet count compared with Control group(p<0.01), and significantly prolonged in APTT compared with Control group(p<0.05). 2. In the hyperlipidemia, Sample group significantly decreased in the total cholesterol, triglyceride and phoshpolipid compared with Control group(p<0.01), and significantly increased in HDL-cholesterol level compared with Control group(p<0.01). According to the above experimental results, Gagamyounjo-Tang(加減潤燥湯)is assumed to have curative effects against the hypercoagulable state in rats induced by Bothrops jararaca venom and the hyperlipidemia in rats induced by Triton WR-1339. And we can suppose that Gagamyounjo-Tang(加減潤燥湯) has a curative effect against the cerebrovascular accident caused by blood stasis.

Nephrotic syndrome is associated with a hypercoagulable state, which results in thromboembolism as one of its main complications. Various pathogenetic factors that cause the hypercoagulable state in nephrotic syndrome have been recognized. We report on a 19-year-old female with a minimal-change disease who developed pulmonary thromboembolism combined with intracardiac thrombus while on tapering steroid. Our patient showed hypoalbuminemia with an episode of shock, and was successfully treated with thrombolysis and anticoagulation therapy.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebrovascular condition accounting for 0.5-1% of all types of strokes in the general population. Hyperthyroidism is associated with procoagulant and antifibrinolytic activity, thereby precipitating a hypercoagulable state that predisposes to CVT. We report the case of a 31-year-old Korean man with massive CVT and diagnosis of concomitant Graves' disease at admission. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of CVT are important to improve prognosis; therefore, CVT should be considered in the differential diagnosis in all patients with hyperthyroidism presenting with neurological symptoms.

Thromboembolic complications are increasing in veterinary medicine. Thromboelastography (TEG) is a more comprehensive method for assessing the clotting process than standard plasma-based coagulation tests. This study compared the ability of TEG and standard coagulation tests to analyze the overall hemostatic state of dogs. The study involved 40 dogs with underlying diseases that predispose to hypercoagulability, including neoplasia, hyperadrenocorticism, immune-mediated diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and protein-losing nephropathies and enteropathies, and 20 healthy dogs. Their overall hemostatic functional state was evaluated by TEG and routine coagulation assays, including activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, platelet count, and D-dimer concentration. TEG analysis showed significant differences in clot formation time, ${\alpha}$ angle, and maximum amplitude (MA) between diseased and control dogs (P < 0.001 each). Increased MA was the most frequent abnormality on TEG and was indicative of hypercoagulability. TEG was useful in detecting hemostatic dysfunction in dogs with diseases associated with hypercoagulability. Dogs with TEG tracings indicative of hypercoagulability are likely to be in procoagulant states. Future prospective studies are needed to evaluate whether TEG tracings indicative of hypercoagulability are predictive of thrombosis in dogs.

Nephrotic syndrome in childhood is known to be associated with a hypercoagulable state and thromboembolic complications, among which cerebral venous thrombosis is a very rare and serious one, with only a few isolated reports in the literature. A 9-year-old boy with known nephrotic syndrome was admitted due to a relapse with massive proteinuria and generalized edema. He complained of a prolonged frontal headache. The enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed a high signal in the region of the superior sagittal sinus and right transverse sinus consistent with a thrombus. He was managed with steroids, cyclosporine and warfarin. His headache subsided 2 weeks later and proteinuria resolved 1 month later. An MRI 2 months later was normal. We describe this case and review the literature to emphasize the importance of recognizing this potentially life threatening complication and initiating anticoagulation therapy.

Thrombophilia refers to inherited or acquired hemostatic disorders that result in a predisposition to blood clot formation. When combined with the hypercoagulable state that is characteristic of pregnancy, there is an increased risk of severe and recurrent pregnancy complications. Activated protein C resistance caused by factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation is known to be the most common cause of inherited thrombophilia in Caucasian population. FVL mutation has been related to pregnancy complications associated with hypercoagulation, e.g. miscarriage, intrauterine fetal demise, placental abruption, and intrauterine growth retardation. Although the FVL mutation is easily detected using molecular DNA techniques, patients who are heterozygous for this disorder often remain asymptomatic until they develop a concurrent prothrombotic condition. Because there are potentially serious effects of FVL mutation for pregnancy, and because effective treatment strategies exist, early detection and treatment of this condition might be considered.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a hypercoagulable state in which children are at risk of venous thromboembolism. A higher risk has been reported in children with steroid-resistant NS than in those with steroid-sensitive NS. The mortality rate of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is approximately 10% and generally results from cerebral herniation in the acute phase and an underlying disorder in the chronic phase. Our patient initially manifested as a child with massive proteinuria and generalized edema. He was treated with albumin replacement and diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and deflazacort. Non-contrast computed tomography showed areas of hyperattenuation in the superior sagittal sinus when he complained of severe headache and vomiting. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging revealed empty delta signs in the superior sagittal, lateral transverse, and sigmoid sinuses, suggesting acute CVST. Immediate anticoagulation therapy was started with unfractionated heparin, antithrombin III replacement, and continuous antiproteinuric treatment. The current report describes a life-threatening CVST in a child with steroid-dependent NS, initially diagnosed by contrast non-enhanced computed tomography and subsequently confirmed by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, followed by magnetic resonance venography for recanalization, addressing successful treatment.

보조생식술 시행 후 혈전색전증의 발생은 매우 드물기는 하나 치명적인 합병증이다. 과배란 유도시 중증 난소 과자극 증후군은 $0.1{\sim}0.5%$에서 발생하며, 중증 난소 과자극증후군 환자의 128명 중 한 명에서 혈전색전증이 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 발병기전으로는 과배란 유도에 따른 고에스트로젠 혈증에 의한 혈액응고인자의 변화, 혈관 투과성의 증가에 따른 혈액농축 및 순환혈액의 감소 등을 원인으로 추정하고 있으나 그 정확한 기전은 알려진 바가 없다. 또한 thrombophilia나, 혈전색전증의 과거력 및 가족력이 있는 경우 발병율이 증가한다. 혈전증의 발생 부위는 정맥이 67%이나, 33%는 동맥에 발병하며 주로 뇌동맥에 발생된다고 보고되었다. 본 예는 3년간의 이차성 불임을 주소로 내원하여 시험관 아기시술을 시행하였으며 hCG 투여 8일 후 난소 과자극증후군이 중등도로 발생하였다. hCG 투여 후 11일째 갑작스런 의식 소실 및 우측 상지의 운동장애가 발생하여 시행한 MRI상 뇌바닥동맥 (basilar a.) 혈전증으로 진단되었으며, 혈관내 혈전 용해술 및 풍선 확장술 시행후 재관류에 성공하였다. 시술 2일 후 의식 및 운동장애는 완전히 회복되었으며 시술 7일 후 말더듬증 역시 회복되어 후유장애 없이 건강한 상태이다. Thrombophilic study상 Protein S결핍 소견을 보였고, 또한 vWF-associated Ag.이 증가된 양상을 보였다. 지금까지 국내에서 난소 과자극증후군 이후에 발생한 뇌경색은 5예가 보고되었으며, 이중 4예에서 protein S deficiency 소견을 보였으므로 선별 검사로 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 저자 등은 3년간의 이차성 불임을 주소로 내원한 33세 환자에서 시험관 아기시술시 hCG 투여 11일째에 발생한 뇌바닥동맥 혈전증을 간단한 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

골연골종은 가장 흔한 양성 골 종양으로, 주변 골단판 연골의 골막하 전위에 의한 과증식성 골 병변이며, 대개 골단판이 닫히면서 성장이 끝나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 골연골종이 혈관계 합병증을 유발하는 경우는 드물지만, 종괴 효과로 주변의 동맥이나 정맥을 눌러 허혈이나 정맥염이 생기거나, 연골모가 골화되면서 생기는 날카로운 말단에 의해 동맥벽의 천공이 생길 수 있다. 이러한 혈관계 합병증은 대부분 젊은 남자의 동맥에서 발생하며, 정맥에 생기는 경우는 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 원위 대퇴골 골연골종으로 인해 심부 정맥 혈전증이 발생한 21세 남자 환자에서 골연골종의 제거 후 정맥 절제술 및 복재 정맥 이식술로 치료한 경험을 보고하고자 한다.
