Lupus anticoagulant-hypoprothrombinemia syndrome (LAHPS), a very rare disease that is caused by the presence of antifactor II antibodies, is usually counterbalanced by the prothrombotic effect of lupus anticoagulant (LAC). Patients with LAHPS are treated using fresh frozen plasma, steroids, immunosuppressive agents, and immunoglobulins for managing the disease and controlling hemorrhages. Notably, steroids are the important treatment for treating hypoprothrombinemia and controlling the bleeding. However, some patients suffer from severe, life-threatening hemorrhages, when factor II levels remain very low in spite of treatment with steroids. Here, we report a case of LAHPS in a 15-year-old girl who experienced pulmonary hemorrhage with rapid progression. She was referred to our hospital owing to easy bruising and prolonged bleeding. She was diagnosed with LAHPS that presented with pancytopenia, positive antinuclear antibody, proloned prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, positive LAC antibody, and factor II deficiency. Her treatment included massive blood transfusion, high-dose methylprednisolone, vitamin K, and immunoglobulin. However, she died due to uncontrolled pulmonary hemorrhage.

항인지질 증후군(antiphospholipid syndrome)은 정맥, 동맥의 혈전증, 혈소판 감소증, 반복적인 유산 등과 함께 lupus anticoagulant (LAC)와 anticardiolipin antibody (aCL)가 반복적으로 양성 반응을 보이는 질환을 말하며 호흡기 증후 발현은 상대적으로 드물다. 저자들은 항인지질 증후군 및 전신성 홍반성 루푸스 환자에서 발생한 만성적인 폐혈전색전증에 대하여 폐동맥 내막절제술, 특히 원위부에 있는 폐혈전색전증을 왼쪽 폐의 대열을 분리한 뒤 좌하엽 구역 동맥을 절제하여 혈전색전 제거술을 성공적으로 시행하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 국내 최초로 보고하는 바이다.

청각에서 분리된 항응고 다당류의 혈액응고 저해기작을 검토하였다. 항응고성 다당 획분(CF-30 IV-ii, CF-30-IV)은 내인성 경로와 공통 경로에서 농도 의존적으로 작용한다. 항응고획분(CF -30-IV-ii)은 내인성 경로의 factor asaay시 lupus an ticoagulant 항체의 활성 에 영 향을 주지 않았으나 응고과정 중 factor Ⅷ, Ⅸ, \ulcorner, \ulcorner의 활성을 저해하였다. CF-30-IV-4-ii는 농도의 존적으로 fibrine을 생성시키지 않음으로써 thrombin에 직접 작용하지 않는 antithrombin m의존적 항응고 활성 기작을 보였다. 청각의 항응고 활성은factor assay와thrum bin의 저해 양식을 고려해볼 때 antithrombin III의 활성을 증대시켜 혈액응고 인자 중 serine proteinase의 활성을 저해함으로써 항응고 활성을 나타내는 물질로 판명되었다. CF-30-IV획분의 in vivo 활성을 측정한 결과 꼬리정 맥주사에 의해 150 mg/kg의 농도로 마우스에 투여시 thrombin에 대한 100%의 항치사성 효과를 나타내었다 또한 CF-30-IV를 마우스의 꼬리 정맥에 주입하고 혈액을 채취 ex vivo상에서 항응고 활성을 측정한 결과, 생체내에서 100mg1kg의 농도까지도 시료량에 의존하는 항응고 활성을 보였다

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome(APS) is a well-known clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent arterial or venous thromboses, recurrent fetal loss, thrombocytopenia, together with high titers of sustained anticardiolipin antibody(aCL) or lupus anticoagulant(LA). Although systemic lupus erythematosus(SLB) and APS may coexist, a high proportion of patients manifesting the APS do not suffer from classical lupus or other connective tissue disease. The patient has been defined as having a primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. We experienced one case of primary APS with recurrent fetal loss, recurrent cerebral infarctions, positive anticardiolipin antibody IgG and fluttering vegetation on the mitral valve, without other connective tissue diseases including SLE. Forty-three old female had 2 out of 11 criteria for the diagnosis of SLE, such as thrombocytopenia and positive antinuclear antibody, but did not meet whole criteria. The patient was treated with ticlopidine, and anticoagulant therapy was recommended.

저자들은 전신성 홍반성 낭창의 특이적인 증상 없이 학교 신체검사중 우연히 발견된 현미경적 혈뇨를 주소로 내원하여 시행한 혈액응고검사(prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time)와 루푸스 항응고인자 (lupus anticoagulant, LA), cardiolipin에 대한 항체(anticardiolipin antibody, aCL) 검사에서 항인지질증후군으로 진단된 10세 여자 환아에서 신조직 검사를 시행하여 확진한 낭창성 신염 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

We produced twelve monoclonal antibodies(mAbs) against thyroglobulin and characterized the bindig profiles. Among them, three mAbs(TN-1, TN-2 and TN-3) were further characterized their binding specificities. TN-2 had a potent lupus anticoagulant activity and potentiated the anticoagulant effect of venom phospholipase A₂. he anticoagulant mechanism of TN-2 was elongation of the partial thromboplastin time and binding to phosphatidylserine which may have a pivot role in blood coagulation. And TN-2 was cross-reacted with ss-DNA and ds-DNA and had a characteristic of autoantibody. These results suggest that TN-2 may provide a useful tool for studying the correlation between autoimmune thyroiditis and its therapeutic effect.

Antiphospholipid antibody is an immunoglobulin which may be of any class and which reacts with any phospholipid. For clinical use the definition of the term anti-phospholipid antibody is usually restricted to IgG and/or IgM antibody directed against the negatively charged phopholipids, cardiolipin, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl serine, or phosphatidic acid. The antigen of the serological test for syphilis is cardiolipin; negatively charged phopholipids are understood to be antigens to which lupus anticoagulants are directed. The term 'anticardiolipin' antibody syndrome, 'antiphospholipid' antibody syndrome, and 'lupus anticoagulant' syndrome are often, imprecisely, used interchangeably. We have experienced a case of recurrent spontaneous abortion with antiphospholipid antibody. So we report this case with a brief review of literatures.

Objective : To analyze the antithrombin II deficiency in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Material and Method: The blood samples were tested by chromogenic assay to evaluate the activity of antithrombin III. Results: There was only one case of antithrombin III deficiency. This patient experienced one neonatal death after delivery and one FDIU (fetal death in utero). And also this patient showed a lupus anticoagulant and the prolongation of PTT. Conclusions: Women with recurrent miscarriage who have no obvious identified cause should consider hematologic screening. Antithrombin III deficiency could be a cause of recurrent spontaneous abortion. But the incidence is very rare in Korean patients.

Trousseau's syndrome is an unexplained thrombotic event that precedes the diagnosis of an occult visceral malignancy or appears concomitantly with the tumor. Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis is prevalent in patients with a central venous catheter. Furthermore, a peripheral intravenous injection may cause upper extremity deep vein thrombosis as well. However, a deep vein thrombosis has not been reported in the form of Trousseau's syndrome with a catastrophic clinical course triggered by a single peripheral intravenous injection. A 48-year-old man presented with a swollen left arm on which he was given intravenous fluid at a local clinic due to flu symptoms. Contrast computed tomgraphy scans showed thromboses from the left distal brachial to the innominate vein. The patient developed multiple cerebral infarctions despite anticoagulation treatment. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer by endoscopic biopsy to evaluate melena and had a persistently positive lupus anticoagulant. After recurrent and multiple thromboembolic events occurred with treatment, he died on day 20.
