    宮崎大学博士(医学)2013年度Elevated plasma levels of factor VIII (FVIII) are associated with increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. The aim of this study is to elucidate how elevated FVIII levels affect venous thrombus formation and propagation in vivo. We examined rabbit plasma FVIII activity, plasma thrombin generation, whole blood coagulation, platelet aggregation and venous wall thrombogenicity before and one hour after an intravenous infusion of recombinant human FVIII (rFVIII). Venous thrombus induced by the endothelial denudation of rabbit jugular veins was histologically assessed. Thrombus propagation was evaluated as indocyanine green fluorescence intensity. Argatroban, a thrombin inhibitor, and neutralized antibodies for tissue factor (TF), factor XI (FXI), and von Willebrand factor (VWF) were infused before or after thrombus induction to investigate their effects on venous thrombus formation or propagation. Recombinant FVIII (100 IU/kg) increased rabbit plasma FVIII activity two-fold and significantly enhanced whole blood coagulation and total plasma thrombin generation, but did not affect initial thrombin generation time, platelet aggregation and venous wall thrombogenicity. The rFVIII infusion also increased the size of venous thrombus one hour after thrombus induction. Argatroban and the antibodies for TF, FXI or VWF inhibited such enhanced thrombus formation and all except TF suppressed thrombus propagation. In conclusion, elevated plasma FVIII levels enhance venous thrombus formation and propagation. Excess thrombin generation by FXI and VWF-mediated FVIII recruitment appear to contribute to the growth of FVIII-driven venous thrombus.doctoral thesi

    [著者版]the published version in ASCE's Civil Engineering Database(http://cedb.asce.org)A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as fiber-reinforced plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper is organized into separate sections on structural shapes, bridge decks, internal reinforcements, externally bonded reinforce ments, and standards and codes. Each section includes a historical review, the current state of the art, and future challenges

    Elevated plasma levels of factor VIII enhance arterial thrombus formation on erosive smooth muscle cell-rich neointima but not normal intima in rabbits

    Background Plaque erosion, a type of coronary atherothrombosis, involves superficial injury to smooth muscle cell (SMC)-rich plaques. Elevated levels of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) correlate with an increased ischemic heart disease risk. FVIII may contribute to thrombus formation on eroded plaques. Aims We aimed to elucidate the role of elevated FVIII in arterial thrombus formation within SMC-rich neointima in rabbits. Methods and results We assessed the effect of recombinant human FVIII (rFVIII) on blood coagulation in vitro and platelet aggregation ex vivo. An SMC-rich neointima was induced through balloon injury to the unilateral femoral artery. Three weeks after the first balloon injury, superficial erosive injury and thrombus formation were initiated with a second balloon injury of the bilateral femoral arteries 45 min after the administration of rFVIII (100 IU/kg) or saline. The thrombus area and contents were histologically measured 15 min after the second balloon injury. rFVIII administration reduced the activated partial thromboplastin time and augmented botrocetin-induced, but not collagen- or adenosine 5′-diphosphate-induced, platelet aggregation. While rFVIII did not influence platelet-thrombus formation in normal intima, it increased thrombus formation on SMC-rich neointima post-superficial erosive injury. Enhanced immunopositivity for glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and fibrin was observed in rFVIII-administered SMC-rich neointima. Neutrophil count in the arterial thrombus on the SMC-rich neointima correlated positively with thrombus size in the control group, unlike the rFVIII group. Conclusions Increased FVIII contributes to thrombus propagation within erosive SMC-rich neointima, highlighting FVIII's potential role in plaque erosion-related atherothrombosis.Citation: Sugita C, Maekawa K, Gi T, Oguri N, Nakamura E, Furukoji E, Azuma M, Asada Y, Yamashita A.
