The K-test (trypsin clotting time) in coumarin treated patients and in congenital deficiencies and abnormalities of the prothrombin complex.

The behavior of K-test (Trypsin clotting time) has been studied in 38 patients on long-term coumarin therapy and in 19 patients with congenital coagulation disorders of the prothrombin complex. All coumarin treated patients showed a clear prolongation of the test. The results obtained were compared with the standard prothrombin time, the Hepato-Quick-test (P-P test) and the Factor II + X test values, observed in the same patients. A good correlation was observed in each instance. The highest correlation was observed between K-test and the Factor II + X test (r=+0,78;t=7,80;p less than 0.001). All congenital coagulation disorders of the prothrombin complex yielded a prolonged K-test value but for Factor VII deficiency. In three patients with this latter condition a perfectly normal value was obtained. The K-test together with the prothrombin time may be useful in the differential diagnosis of factor VII deficiency from factor X deficiency and from the factor X Friuli abnormality.

Inherited bleeding disorders in Indian women with menorrhagia.

In order to define the prevalence of haemostatic defects in women presenting with menorrhagia in our region, the coagulation data on women bleeders investigated in the Department of Haematology, AIIMS, were analysed. A total of 337 of the 2200 menorrhagic women investigated were characterized to have an inherited bleeding disorder; 221 of these 337 women presented with menorrhagia alone while 116 also had other associated bleeding manifestations as prolonged bleeding from injury site, ecchymotic patches in the skin, epistaxis, haematomas, haemarthroses and major bleeds like intracerebral bleeding. The tests performed included bleeding time (BT), platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin consumption index (PCI), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), PF3 release with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) at 0 and 20 min, total PF3 assay and platelet Aggregation studies with collagen, ADP, adrenaline, arachidonic acid and ristocetin. Coagulation factor assays, von Willebrand antigen estimation, ristocetin cofactor assay and electron microscopy were performed wherever necessary. Inherited platelet dysfunction was seen in 283 (83.9%) of the patients. Amongst these, isolated PF3 availability defect was seen in 163 (48.4%) cases. Glanzman's thrombasthenia was seen in 30 (8.9%) patients, Storage pool disease in eight (2.4%) patients, arachidonic acid pathway defect in five (1.5%) patients and Bernard-Soulier Syndrome in six (1.8%) patients. In 71 (21.1%) patients, the platelet function defect could not be classified into any specific subtypes. Inherited defects of coagulation were observed in 54 (16%) of the cases. Amongst these, von Willebrand disease (vWD) was the most frequent being seen in 40 (11.9%) of the cases. Factor XIII deficiency was seen in one (0.3%), factor X deficiency in four (1.2%), factor VII deficiency in one (0.3%) and factor XII deficiency in one (0.3%) of the patients. It is concluded that although hereditary platelet function defects constitute a large majority of women bleeders in India but among the coagulation defects, vWD is the commonest as reported from the caucasian population. It is thus suggested that in women presenting with menorrhagia, screening tests for haemostasis especially for vWD and inherited platelet function defects must be performed.

Cloning and recombinant expression of mouse coagulation factor X.

Engineering of recombinant coagulation factor X variants, which can be activated by tumor-associated proteinases may lead to the development of new therapeutic molecules. However, the evaluation of such variants requires an appropriate animal model. Therefore, we isolated the complete coding sequence of mouse coagulation factor X from mouse liver cDNA by polymerase chain reaction. The deduced amino acid sequence codes for a prepro protein of 481 amino acids homologous to factor X sequences from various species. Recombinant mouse factor X was expressed in human embryonic kidney cells and secreted into cell culture supernatant as zymogen, which could be converted to catalytically active factor Xa by Russell's viper venom. Purified recombinant mouse factor X restored coagulation in human factor X deficient plasma, demonstrating that mouse factor X is able to functionally interact with the human blood coagulation system. Recombinant mouse factor X opens the possibility to analyze therapeutically useful variants in the mouse system.

Retroperitoneal amyloidosis, factor IX and X deficiency,and gastrointestinal bleeding.

A patient with gastrointestinal bleeding due to amyloidosis-related factor X deficiency had extensive calcified retroperitoneal amyloid deposition that was visible on plain radiographs and then localized by computed tomography. The radiologic findings were important in arriving at the proper diagnosis despite negative biopsies.

[Establishment and characterization of a human squamous cell carcinoma cell line LK-52 which produce direct activator of coagulant factor X].

Uterus origin squamous cell carcinoma cell line LK-52 was established from surgical specimen of lung metastatic nodule. LK-52 produce poorly differentiated squamous carcinoma in nude mouse, and doubling time in vitro was 38 hours. Chromosome analysis show various abnormality and main mode number was 67 and 68. LK-52 shed active procoagulant substance into culture medium. The culture medium of LK-52 shortening recalcification time of normal human plasma and factor VII or factor IX deficient plasma but not factor X deficient plasma. Procoagulant activity of LK-52 product may induced with direct activation of coagulant factor X. Procoagulant activity which produced by cancer cell may play a important roll in the unbalanced haemostasis of cancer patient.

Supernumerary nipples in children with hematologic disorders.

The authors report on supernumerary nipples and various hematologic disorders in 7 patients [factor X deficiency (n = 1), factor XI deficiency (n = 2), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 3), and acute myeloblastic leukemia (n = 1)]. They would like to draw attention to the association of supernumerary nipples with hematological disorders, which has not been published before and is considered to be added to the anomalies associated with supernumerary nipples.

[Combined hereditary deficiency in factors VII and X revealed by a prolonged partial thromboplastin time].

BACKGROUND: Congenital factors VII and X deficiency is rare. Association of both deficiencies is exceptional. CASE REPORT: A 3 year-old boy, born to consanguinous Moroccan parents, had a prolonged partial thromboplastin time discovered fortuitously. This finding led to the diagnosis of combined factors VII and X deficiency. His siblings had the same deficiencies. CONCLUSION: Profound deficiencies in factors VII and X are inherited following an autosomal-recessive mode. These deficiencies may be asymptomatic, only discovered by prolonged partial thromboplastin time. They may also be revealed by intracranial bleeding and other severe hemorrhages. Treatment consists of administration of factor VII or PPSB.

Life-threatening bleeding and acquired factor V deficiency associated with primary systemic amyloidosis.

Acquired factor X deficiency has been described in patients with amyloidosis but acquired factor V deficiency is quite rare. We report here a case of life-threatening bleeding and acquired factor V deficiency associated with primary amyloidosis. A 50-year-old man who had no previous hemorrhagic diathesis was referred to our hospital because of recurrent epistaxis, gingival bleeding and hemospermia. The laboratory examination revealed that both the prothrombin time (PT) and the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were significantly prolonged, and factor V activities were markedly decreased to 14-39% of the normal value. Other coagulation factors such as fibrinogen, prothrombin, factor VII, factor VIII, factor IX and factor X were subnormal and normal. Transaminases were slightly elevated but serological tests of hepatitis B and hepatitis C were negative. Mild hepatosplenomegaly was noted without sign of liver cirrhosis. The PT and aPTT obtained 8 years ago when he received a cholecystectomy due to cholecystitis were both normal. Specific assays for the detection of factor V inhibitor were repeatedly performed but no factor V inhibitor was found. Furthermore, a significant recovery of the infused factor V was noted shortly after an intravenous administration of 5-10 U fresh frozen plasma, but it did not last more than 6 h. Melena, bleedings into the left shoulder and buttock, and finally mortal retroperitoneal hemorrhage developed despite repeated infusions of large amounts of fresh frozen plasma. Acquired factor V deficiency associated with primary amyloidosis was suspected but histological diagnosis was not obtained because of the severe bleeding tendency. Autopsy revealed hepatosplenomegaly and massive deposits of AL amyloid in the liver, spleen, heart and other parenchymal organs. Perivascular amyloid deposition and factor V deficiency are both thought to be the cause of the severe hemorrhagic tendency seen in this patient.

Coagulopathy in amyloidosis: combined deficiency of factors IX and X.

Combined severe deficiencies of blood clotting factors IX and X were observed in 2 patients who suffered from systemic amyloidosis. This unique deficiency state was marked by refractoriness to Vitamin K as well as to transfusion therapy. Increased antithrombin activity was present in both individuals and corresponded in time to the emergence of a monoclonal IgG kappa light chain paraprotein in 1. Both patients demonstrated profound bleeding disorders. It is hypothesized that the Vitamin K dependent factors have special affinity for amyloid deposits due to an unusual amino acid (gamma-carboxyglutamic acid) present in these factors.
