범발성 혈관내 응고증은 패혈증 환자들에 있어 빈번히 발생하며 여러 가지 위급한 질병 상태에 관계하는 병리학적 상황이다. 범발성 혈관내 응고증은 기존의 복잡한 임상 상황을 더욱 어렵게 만들어서 높은 사망률의 원인이 된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 그것의 병인적 기전들은 완전히 규명되지 않았다. 본 연구는 범발성 혈관내 응고증의 발생에 관여하는 병인적 기전들의 이해를 위해 전향적으로 계획되었다. 15마리의 쥐를 대상으로 해서 연구목적에 따라 세 군으로 나누었다：I 군은 대조군으로서 내독소를 투여하지 않은 쥐들이고 (n=5), II 군은 내독소 투여 후 12시간이 경과한 쥐들이며 (n=5), III군은 내독소 투여 후 24시간이 경과한 쥐들이었다 (n=5). 실험적 범발성 혈관내 응고증은 일정량의 내 독소를 한번에 투여하여 유도하였다 (1mg/kg, E. coli serotype 055:B5). 실험대상 쥐들의 심장으로부터 직접 채혈하여 혈소판수, 섬유소원 농도, plasminogen 농도, 항트롬빈 III 농도, D-dimer, 보체성분 (C3 및 C4)을 측정하였다. 내독소를 투여한 II 군과 III 군에 있어 혈소판수, 섬유소원 (III 군의 경우는 오히려 증가), plasminogen, 항트롬빈 III, 그리고 C3등의 혈중 농도들이 대체로 감소하였고 D-dimer 농도는 증가함으로써 명백한 범발성 혈관내 응고증이 관찰되었다. 본 연구 결과들은 내독소에 의해 응고계, 섬유소용해계, 그리고 보체계와 같은 여러경로의 활성화가 유도될 수 있으며, 이로해서 범발성 혈관내 응고증 및 이차적인 중복 장기기능 부전이 발생하리라는 점을 시사하고 있다. 결국, 이와같은 실험적인 내독소 유도 범발성 혈관내 응고증에 있어 응고계 및 섬유소 용해계의 활성을 일으키는 다양한 기전에 관한 축척된 지식들은 그와 같은 질병의 예방 혹은 치료방법을 제공해 줄 것이다.

청각(1.2 kg)을 0.8% 염산 수용액(24 l)으로 추출한 추출물을 메탄올 환류, 에탄올 침전 및 투석하여 활성이 약 2배 증가된 조다당(CF-1)으로부터 2종의 항응고활성 다당류를 정제하였다. 정제는 CF-1의 DEAE-Toyopearl이온교환 크로마토그래피와 Sephadex G-75, Sephadex G-100, Sepharose CL-6B 겔여과 크로마토그래피, HPLC 등을 이용하였다. 최종 정제 다당류획분인 CF-1-VIa-1과 CF-1-VIIa-1는 분자량이 각각 80,000과 40,000 Da 이었으며, 주구성당으로서 arabinose와 galactose가 약 2:1의 몰비율로 풍부하게 함유되어 있었고, 구성당 잔기에 $12{\sim}13%$의 유황을 함유하는 함황성 다당류들이었다. CF-1-VIa-1와 CF-1-VIIa-1의 항응고활성을 $2.5\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 비교하였을 때 APTT활성은 대조군에 비하여 각각 262초, 250초이었고 TT활성은 각각 130초, 70초이었으며, 분자량이 큰 CF-1-VIa-1이 다소 높은 항응고활성을 보였다. CF-1-VIa-1와 CF-1-VIIa-1의 desulfation과 sulfation을 통한 항응고활성을 비교한 결과 desulfation시 항응고활성이 각각 약 80%와 50%로 감소하였으나 sulfation시에는 약 30%와 20%로 그 활성이 증가하였다. 두 다당류는 헤파린과 달리 농도 의존적으로 불용성 피브린의 형성을 억제하므로써 antithrombin III 비의존적 트롬빈 저해활성을 나타내었으며, 칼슘이온의 킬레이트에 의한 혈액응고 저해효과는 나타내지 않았다.

Thromboemolism is one of the severe complications of nephrotic syndrome. And arterial thromboembolism is rare than venous thromboembolism. Hypercoagulability is the main pathophysiologic factors of thromboembolism in nephrotic syndrome with severe hypoalbuminemia. We experienced one case of arterial thromboembolism which occured in right common iliac artery. It was seen in a 6 year-old male child that presented with generalized edema and rigth ankle joint pain. Emergency embolectomy and anticoagulant therapy (heparin and antithrombin III) was performed. He didn't have to be amputated and recovered to self ambulation. This is an uncommon case that successful recovery was possible by early diagnosis and invasive surgical management with proper anticoagulant therapy.

This study was focused on the purification, characterization and promotion mode of an anticoagulant polysaccharide from Hizikia fusiforme. The anticoagulant crude polysaccharide(HF 0) was obtained by using hot water extraction at 100oC for 3 hrs after homogenizing desalted Hizikia fusiforme. The anticoagulant polysaccharide(HF 2 3 1a) was purified from the crude extract(HF 0) through stepwise gradient ethanol precipitation(HF 2), DEAE Toyopearl 650C(HF 2 3), Sephadex G 75(HF 2 3 1), Sepharose CL 6B(HF 2 3 1a) chromatography and HPLC to homogeneity. HF 2 3 1a was estimated at 5.3$\times$105 Da molecular weight and composed of fucose(51.92%), galactose(19.34%), mannose(13.92%), xylose (7.14%), arabinose(3.95%) and rhamnose(3.78%), and comprimised 29.7 % sulfate residue. The sulfated anticoagulant polysaccharide from HF 2 3 1a was proposed to inhibit via the intrinsic pathway and common pathway in the blood coagulation. The HF 2 3 1a exhibited the anticoagulant activity by activating an antithrombin III and the activity depended on the concentration of HF 2 3 1a. Acute toxicity of HF 2 in mice was not detected. Only 14 of 33 control mice(11.4%) that had taken saline survived for 30 min after injecting thrombin(100 NIH unit/ml).

Earthworm extracts are known for anti-inflammatory, analgesic. antipyretic, and anticancer effects but can also influence blood circulation. It was previously shown that an earthworm, Lumbricus rubelius. contained a water-extractable anticoagulant which was a heat- and acid-stable molecule with hydrophilic property. In order to uncover the biochemical nature of this molecule, the anticoagulant was processed with various hydrolases such as trypsin, DNase, RNase. and lysozome. When the digested samples were analyzed with an in vitro coagulation test measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and agarose gel electrophoresis, the anticoagulant proved to be a relatively homogeneous DNA fragment with relative molecular size around 72 base pairs. Interestingly, the activity was further stimulated with a trypsin digestion. RNA. on the other hand, did not prolong the APTT. It was also demonstrated that the DNA accelerated the antithrombin III (AT-III) inhibition of thrombin from $IC_{50}$ of 0.34 to 0.16 unit determined with S-2238 as a substrate, whereas heparin, a popular anticoagulant. shifted the value to 0.05. Therefore, it is suggested that the DNA could be considered as an alternative antithrombotic agent to heparin, which would exhibits bleeding side effects.

Streptococcus pneumoniae associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (SpHUS) is one of the causes of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and increasingly reported. They are more severe and leave more long-term sequelae than more prevalent, typical hemolytic uremic syndrome. But it is not so easy to diagnose SpHUS for several reasons (below), and there was no diagnostic criteria of consensus. A 18 month-old-girl with sudden onset of oliguria and generalized edema was admitted through the emergency room. She had pneumonia with pleural effusion and laboratory findings of HUS, DIC, and positive direct Coombs' test. As DIC or SpHUS was suspected, we started to treat her with broad spectrum antibiotics, transfusion of washed RBC and replacement of antithrombin III. On the $3^{rd}$ day, due to severe hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was started. She showed gradual improvement in 4 days on CRRT and discharged in 16 days of hospital care. At the follow up to one year, she has maintained normal renal function without proteinuria and hypertension. We report this case with review of articles including recently suggested diagnostic criteria of SpHUS.

It is uncommon for pediatric patients with rhabdomyosarcoma to present with clinical and/or laboratory features of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We report a case of metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with severe bleeding because of DIC in a 13-year-old boy. He experienced persistent oozing at the site of a previous operation, gross hematuria, and massive epistaxis. Two weeks after initiating combination chemotherapy consisting of vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, the patients' laboratory indications of DIC began to resolve. During this period, the patient received massive blood transfusion of a total of 311 units (26 units of red blood cells, 26 units of fresh frozen plasma, 74 units of platelet concentrates, 17 units of single donor platelets, and 168 units of cryoprecipitate), antithrombin-III and a synthetic protease inhibitor. Despite chemotherapy and radiation therapy, he died 1 year later because of disease progression. In children with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma and massive DIC, prompt chemotherapy and aggressive supportive care is important to decrease malignancy-triggered procoagulant activities.

Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) was used to separate various types of recombinant hirudins from the culture broth. The wild type hirudin exhibited a retention in Cu(II)-chelated affinity chromatgoraphy since it contained a single exposed histidine at position 51. To obtain a stronger retention on an IDA-Cu(II) column, the hirudin variants were genetically engineered to contain one or two histidine (s) more than the wild type. While the affinity of the variants for IDA-Cu(II) ligand increased in comparison to that of the wild type, the antithrombin activities reduced to a certain degree. Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions were applied separately to the metal chelate column to investigate ligand specificity with respect to protein retention. As a result, the Cu(II) chelated chromatography gave the best resolution for all the hirudins tested and appeared to be the only IMAC that could be used generally for the purification of hirudins with a decreasing pH gradient.

Anticoagulant activities were tested for the fifteen kinds of medicinal plants by measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Of them five kinds or species (Artemisia princeps, Sanguisorba officinalis, Artemisia apiacea, Eclipa alba, Schizonepeta tenuifolia) were selected and fractionated for the preparation of acidic polysaccharides. They were extracted with water by refluxing and the extracts were precipitated with ethanol. The precipitates were separated based on charge using a DEAE-Sephadex. The low salt and high salt fractions were sulfated with anhydrous pyridine and chlorosulfonic acid complex. In vitro anticoagulant activities of sulfated polysaccharides were tested by measuring aPTT, prothrombin time (PT), and factor Xa clotting time using normal human plasma. No relationship was found between the amount of uronic acids and anticoagulant activities, but the sulfated ones show the increase of activities. In vivo anticoagulant properties of the sulfated polysaccharide from Artemisia apiacea were also tested by the intraveneous administration of three different doses (3,5 and 10 mg/kg) to rats. APTT and PT were increased significantly and the action of factor Xa and thrombin mediated through antithrombin III were inhibited slightly.
