RESUMO

NETosis is a host defense mechanism associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Experimental models show that platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key elements for intravascular NETosis. We determined NETosis in septic and burn patients at 1 and 4days post-admission (dpa). Nucleosomes were elevated in patients. In septics, they correlated with Human Neutrophil Elastase (HNE)-DNA complexes and SOFA score at 1dpa, and were associated with mortality. Patient's neutrophils had spontaneous NETosis and were unresponsive to stimulation. Although platelet P-selectin and TNF-α were increased in both groups, higher platelet TLR-4 expression, VWF levels and IL-6 were found in septics at 1dpa. Neither platelet activation markers nor cytokines correlated with nucleosomes or HNE-DNA. Nucleosomes could be indicators of organ damage and predictors of mortality in septic but not in burn patients. Platelet activation, VWF and cytokines do not appear to be key mediators of NETosis in these patient groups.

RESUMO

Acquired haemophilia is a rare disorder. The clinical picture ranges from mild ecchymosis and anaemia to life threatening bleeding in up to 20% of patients. The disease is produced by an antibody against Factor VIII and it usually occurs in the elderly, with no previous history of a bleeding disorder. It can be associated to an underlying condition such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, drugs or pregnancy. It has a typical laboratory pattern with isolated prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) that fails to correct upon mixing tests with normal plasma and low levels of factor VIII. Treatment recommendations are based on controlling the acute bleeding episodes with either bypassing agent, recombinant activated factor VII or activated prothrombin complex concentrate, and eradication of the antibody with immunosuppressive therapy.

RESUMO

Direct oral anticoagulants have emerged as the drugs that have changed the management of the antithrombotic treatment in the last 15 years. Their advantages, like a more friendly way of anticoagulation and their lower risk of bleeding, especially in the brain, have positioned these new anticoagulants as the first drug of choice in the two most frequent indications of anticoagulation, atrial fibrillation, and the venous thromboembolic disease. However, not all the patients can receive these agents, not all the direct oral anticoagulants have the same characteristics, and most importantly, not all the diseases with an indication of an anticoagulant drug can be treated with them. Therefore, it is mandatory that all the faculties involved in the management of these drugs must know them in depth, to decide the best treatment for the patient. This position paper, from a group of experts in anticoagulation in Argentina, can help the general practitioner in the daily use of direct oral anticoagulants based on the new evidence and the experience of a wide group of professionals. The way we relate to the anticoagulant treatment has changed in the last years. The doctors who work with them must also do so.

RESUMO

Treating an anticoagulated patient with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) remains a challenge, especially in areas where dicoumarins are still the first drug of choice due to the cost of other oral anticoagulants. Anticoagulation clinics have proven to be the most efficient and safe way to avoid thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications and to keep patients in optimal treatment range. However, they require adequate infrastructure and trained personnel to work properly. In this Argentine consensus we propose a series of guidelines for the effective management of the anticoagulation clinics. The goal is to achieve the excellence in both the clinical healthcare and the hemostasis laboratory for the anticoagulated patient. The criteria developed in the document were agreed upon by a large group of expert specialists in hematology and biochemistry from all over the country. The criteria presented here must always be considered when indicating VKA although they had to be adapted to the unequal reality of each center. Taking these premises into consideration will allow us to optimize the management of the anticoagulated patient with VKA and thus minimize thrombotic and hemorrhagic intercurrences, in order to honor our promise not to harm the patient.

RESUMO

Thrombocytopenia is a frequent complication of viral infections; the underlying mechanisms appear to depend on the identity of the virus involved. Previous research, including reports from our group, indicates that as well as having antiviral activity type I interferons (IFN I) selectively downregulate platelet production. In this study we extended understanding of the role of endogenous IFN I in megakaryo/thrombopoiesis by evaluating platelet and megakaryocyte physiology in mice treated with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly (I:C)], a synthetic analogue of double-stranded RNA, Toll-like receptor-3 ligand and strong IFNß inducer. Mice-treated with poly (I:C) showed thrombocytopaenia, an increase in mean platelet volume and abnormal haemostatic and inflammatory platelet-mediated functionality, indicated by decreased fibrinogen binding and platelet adhesion, prolonged tail bleeding times and impaired P-Selectin externalisation, RANTES release and thrombin-induced platelet-neutrophil aggregate formation. These changes were associated with an increase in size and an abnormal distribution of bone marrow megakaryocytes within the vascular niche and were directly correlated with the plasmatic and bone marrow IFNß levels. All these effects were absent in genetically modified mice lacking the IFN I receptor. Our results suggest that IFN I is the central mediator of poly (I:C)-induced thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction and indicate that these abnormalities are due to changes in the last stages of megakaryocyte development. These data provide new evidence for the role of IFN I in megakaryocyte distribution in the bone marrow niches and its influence on thrombopoiesis and haemostasis.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Platelets express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) that recognise molecular components of pathogens and, in nucleated cells, elicit immune responses through nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) activation. We have shown that NF-κB mediates platelet activation in response to classical agonists, suggesting that this transcription factor exerts non-genomic functions in platelets. The aim of this study was to determine whether NF-κB activation is a downstream signal involved in TLR2 and 4-mediated platelet responses. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Aggregation and ATP release were measured with a Lumi-aggregometer. Fibrinogen binding, P-selectin and CD40 ligand (CD40L) levels and platelet-neutrophil aggregates were measured by cytometry. I kappa B alpha (IκBα) degradation and p65 phosphorylation were determined by Western blot and von Willebrand factor (vWF) by ELISA. RESULTS: Platelet stimulation with Pam3CSK4 or LPS resulted in IκBα degradation and p65 phosphorylation. These responses were suppressed by TLR2 and 4 blocking and synergised by thrombin. Aggregation, fibrinogen binding and ATP and vWF release were triggered by Pam3CSK4. LPS did not induce platelet responses per se, except for vWF release, but it did potentiate thrombin-induced aggregation, fibrinogen binding and ATP secretion. Pam3CSK4, but not LPS, induced P-selectin and CD40L expression and mixed aggregate formation. All of these responses, except for CD40L expression, were inhibited in platelets treated with the NF-κB inhibitors BAY 11-7082 or Ro 106-9920. CONCLUSION: TLR2 and 4 agonists trigger platelet activation responses through NF-κB. These data show another non-genomic function of NF-κB in platelets and highlight this molecule as a potential target to prevent platelet activation in inflammatory or infectious diseases.

RESUMO

La hemofilia adquirida es una enfermedad de muy poco frecuente presentación. El paciente habitualmente consulta con equimosis y hematomas extensos en la piel y tejido celular subcutáneo, anemia y en algunas oportunidades un sangrado grave, que si no se controla puede ser fatal hasta en el 20% de los casos. Se produce por un autoanticuerpo dirigido contra el factor VIII de la coagulación y suele ocurrir en pacientes añosos sin historia de sangrados, pero también puede presentarse asociado a neoplasias, enfermedades autoinmunes, medicamentos y en mujeres jóvenes asociado al embarazo. Tiene un perfil de laboratorio característico con un tiempo de tromboplastina parcial activada (aPTT) prolongado, que no corrige con plasma normal, y niveles de factor VIII disminuidos. El tratamiento recomendado es muy específico, ya que para controlar el sangrado se utilizan agentes de puenteo (productos que sortean el efecto del inhibidor), factor VII recombinante activado o concentrado de complejo de protrombina activada, y medicación inmunosupresora para erradicar el autoanticuerpo.


Acquired haemophilia is a rare disorder. The clinical picture ranges from mild ecchymosis and anaemia to life threatening bleeding in up to 20% of patients. The disease is produced by an antibody against Factor VIII and it usually occurs in the elderly, with no previous history of a bleeding disorder. It can be associated to an underlying condition such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, drugs or pregnancy. It has a typical laboratory pattern with isolated prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) that fails to correct upon mixing tests with normal plasma and low levels of factor VIII. Treatment recommendations are based on controlling the acute bleeding episodes with either bypassing agent, recombinant activated factor VII or activated prothrombin complex concentrate, and eradication of the antibody with immunosuppressive therapy.

RESUMO

Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and high risk thromboembolitic disease (as in the first three months after a DVT or the first after an arterial embolism), should re-start anticoagulation with heparin, low dose, either iv or sc as soon as bleeding has stopped. Oral anticoagulants could be started a week after bleeding. There is not enough experience with LMWH (100 U anti Xa-Kg-day), but itïs more difficult to reverse while bleeding and renders it unsafe. Patients with acute Pulmonary embolism in their first month of treatmentshould be offered a inferior cava filter as a first option. Patients under anticoagulation with a moderate risk cardioembolic disease should switch to aspirin 325 mg per day plus gastroprotection, until the bleeding risk had disappeared. There is no need to confirm thet the bleeding disease (such as peptic ulcer) is cured before recommence anticoagulation. We suggest some general recomendations such as no alcohol or antiinflamatory drugs, treatment of Helycobacter Pilory, to target the INR at a lower level, and perhaps, to check anticoagulation more frequently. In a CNS bleeding in high risk thromboembolic patients, if there is an associated bleeding factor such as hipertention, trauma, INR higher than 5 or a stroke with haemorragic transformation, recommence anticoagulation after 7-14 days with iv heparin, and then oral anticoagulants at least 2 weeks after the bleeding episode. If the CNS bleeding is spontaneous, or associated with a tumor, a vascular malformation, or amyloidosis, then recommence anticoagulation only in very high risk patients and after 14-21 days of the acute episode. Moderate risk patients should wait at least a month until reiniciate anticoagulation. Finally, always reiniciate anticoagulation with the consent of the neurologist

RESUMO

Los reemplazos valvulares mecánicos requieren tratamiento anticoagulante a largo plazo. La asociación con aspirina ha demostrado reducir aún más la probabilidad de eventos tromboembólicos. Sin embargo, con el tratamiento combinado y en las dosis testeadas en varios ensayos clínicos, se ha notado un aumento de la frecuencia de hemorragia, principalmente gastrointestinal. En Julio de 1988 iniciamos un estudio prospectivo randomizado con el fin de comparar la combinación de bajas dosis de anticoagulación oral (RIN 2,5-3,5) con aspirina (100 mg) (rama A) versus dosis más intensa de anticoagulación (RIN 3,5-4,5) (rama B). La media de seguimiento fue de 2,2 años. Ambos tratamientos ofrecieron similar protección antitrombótica. La incidencia de episodios embólicos fue de 1,3/100 ptes-año en la rama A y 1,6/100 ptes-año en la rama B. Episodios de hemorragia mayor se presentaron en 1,1/100 ptes-año y 2,4/100 ptes-año respectivamente. No hubo un aumento de las hemorragias gastrointestinales en la rama de tratamiento combinado, resultando además en una significativa reducción de la muerte de origen vascular de 3,3/100 ptes-año a 1,3/100 ptes-año (p=0,038) y en un riesgo acumulativo de embolia, hemorragia mayor y muerte de causa vascular de 3,3/100 ptes-año a 1,3/100 ptes-año (p=0,034).

RESUMO

La anticoagulación oral durante el embarazo es un tema controvertido y no hay uniformidad de criterios sobre cuál es el tratamiento más adecuado para las pacientes embarazadas con prótesis valvulares mecánicas. Los anticoagulantes orales pueden inducir una embriopatía si son administrados entre la 6ª y 12ª semana del embarazo, sus sustitución por heparina previene esta complicación pero su eficacia en la prevención de complicaciones trombóticas ha sido cuestionada. Ambos anticoagulantes también son responsables del mayor riesgo de abortos o pérdidas fetales. Evaluamos el resultado de 92 embarazos consecutivos en 59 pacientes con prótesis valvulares mecánicas desde 1986 hasta junio de 1997. En 31 embarazos se suspendió la anticoagulación oral durante el 1er. trimestre y se indicó heparina SC ajustada por APTT. En 61 embarazos se continuó con anticoagulación oral. Para el parto se utilizó nuevamente heparina ajustada. Los abortos o pérdidas fetales fueron similares en las que recibieron anticoagulación oral el 1er. trimestre (13/61=25 por ciento) comparado con las que recibieron heparina (6/31=19 por ciento). Los episodios embólicos fueron más frecuentes en el período tratado con heparina (4.92 por ciento) que en el tratado con anticoagulantes orales (0.33 por ciento). Las embolias fueron cerebrales y transitorias. No se observaron malformaciones en los 71 recién nacidos excepto 1 caso de hidrocefalia. La única muerte materna resultó de una hemorragia mayor luego del parto de un feto muerto prematuro. Aunque la anticoagulación oral parece ser más segura para la madre, la heparina ajustada ofrece una protección adecuada de fenómenos tromboembólicos.
