Thrombomodulin serum levels in ventilated preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome

A soluble form of thrombomodulin (TM), an anticoagulant proteoglycan of the endothelial cell membrane, considered a marker of vascular endothelial damage, was measured in plasma of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). In these patients, lung immaturity leads to endothelial leak of plasma proteins and to surfactant inhibition. In 18 babies with RDS, plasma TM concentration was significantly elevated compared with values of a matched group of babies without pulmonary disease (276.1 ng/ml vs 141.3 ng/ml) (P<0.05). Furthermore, TM levels of mechanical ventilated babies (IPPV) with severe RDS were higher than those of babies with moderate RDS and treated with nasal CPAP (340.9 ng/ml vs 174.2 ng/ml) (P<0.05). Conclusion These data show that TM can be used as marker of pulmonary endothelial damage in preterm babies treated with mechanical ventilation for RDS and suggest early intervention with exogenous surfactant to limit alveolar protein leakage and surfactant inactivation.

Detection and clinical significance of thrombomodulin in both plasma and tissue extracts of cancer patients

Thrombomodulin?is the endothelial cell surface glycoprotein that converts thrombin from a procoagulant protein into the activator for protein C. Thrombin plays an important role in the adhesion of cancer cells to endothelial cells through fibrin formation and platelet activation, and thrombin stimulates tumor cell bindings to endothelial cells[1]. In this article, the changes of TM were studied in both plasma and tissue extracts of cancer patients for evaluating its clinical significance. P…

Clinical utility of selected disease activity markers in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

The objective of this study was to assess the utility of measurement of thrombomodulin, antinucleosome antibodies, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, neopterin, fas ligand, IL-10 and sIL-2R in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to compare them with traditional markers of SLE activity (anti-dsDNA antibodies, C3, C4) and the ECLAM index of disease activity. The measurement was performed over a 6-month period at three consecutive time points after 3 months in each of the 52 patients with SLE. Anti-dsDNA antibodies, thrombomodulin, antinucleosome antibodies, sVCAM-1m sICAM-1, neopterin, fas ligand, IL-10 and sIL-2R were tested by ELISA technique, while C3, C4 components of complement were tested by nephelometry. Fas ligand and IL-10 did not correlate with the ECLAM index. The rest of the markers showed significant correlation with the disease activity index. Thrombomodulin and anti-dsDNA antibodies reflect in the best way the changing trend in disease activity. Antinucleosome antibodies seem to be a promising marker useful in early diagnosis. Soluble VCAM-1, sICAM-1, neopterin and sIL-2R are interesting molecules with a role in disease pathogenesis, but their practical utility is limited.

Brenner Tumor of the Ovary: A Comparative Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study With Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

Because of a fancied light microscopic resemblance to transitional epithelium (urothelium), Brenner tumor (BT) of the ovary is commonly described as a transitional cell neoplasm. An inability to detect a great deal of similarity between the two at the ultrastructural level prompted this electron microscopic study comparing 3 benign Brenner tumors with normal urothelium and 6 transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of varying histologic grade from the urinary bladder. To complement the ultrastructural observations, the immunophenotype of 8 benign BTs was evaluated together with that of 12 TCCs of the bladder using antibodies to thrombomodulin (TM), cytokeratin 20, cytokeratin 7, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), all of which havebeen shown to react with TCCs of urothelial origin. At the ultrastructural level, there was only limited evidence of a morphologic likeness between the epithelial cells of BTs and those of the benign or neoplastic urothelium. The immunophenotype of the two tumors also differed significantly in that there was no reactivity for TM or cytokeratin 20 in the BTs, while these markers were expressed in the TCCs. Both BTs and TCCs were positive for cytokeratin 7 and may express CEA.     

急性冠状动脉综合征患者血清血栓调节蛋白和脂蛋白相关磷脂酶A2水平变化及临床意义

目的:检测急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者血清血栓调节蛋白(TM)及脂蛋白相关磷脂酶A2(Lp-PLA2)水平变化及临床意义。方法:入选冠心病患者120例,分为ACS组69例和稳定性心绞痛(SAP)组51例。再将120例冠心病患者按病变血管支数分为单支病变组(45例)、双支病变组(38例)和3支病变组(37例)。采用Gensini评分系统评定冠状动脉血管病变狭窄程度,按Gensini积分分为轻度病变组(<26分)36例、中度病变组(26~54分)48例和重度病变组(>54分)36例。另选同期有胸痛症状CTA正常的患者20例为对照组。用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)法分别检测血清TM、Lp-PLA2水平。结果:与对照组比较,SAP组、ACS组血清TM、Lp-PLA2水平均明显升高;与SAP组比较,ACS组血清TM、Lp-PLA2均明显升高。单支病变组、双支病变组及3支病变组血清TM、Lp-PLA2均差异无统计学意义。重度病变组血清TM水平明显高于中度病变组和轻度病变组(均P<0.05)。轻度病变组、中度病变组和重度病变组血清Lp-PLA2均差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。ACS组患者血清TM和Lp-PLA2间呈正相关,而SAP组和对照组间无相关。结论:ACS患者血清TM和Lp-PLA2均升高,说明炎性反应及内皮功能损伤参与了ACS的发病过程,并且两者可能有协同作用。
