Abstract
Nine patients (10 infusions) with a confirmed diagnosis of type 3 VWD were infused with von Willebrand factor (human), a preparation of von Willebrand factor (VWF) with a very low factor VIII content. Each patient was infused with one dose of approximately 50 or 100 iu ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:RiCoF) per kg body weight. Bleeding times were performed during the 24 h period after infusion. Plasma samples were obtained over the 96 h period after infusion and were analysed for factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIIIC), VWF:RiCoF, von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF:Ag), and multimers. The FVIIIC data were analysed by non-linear least-squares analysis assuming constant FVIIIC 'synthesis' and exponential decay. The VWF data were fitted for exponential decay. The average decay rates for FVIIIC, VWF:RiCoF and VWF:Ag were 0.041, 0.061 and 0.056 respectively. The average calculated 'synthesis' rate for FVIIIC was 6.4 u/dl/h. The synthesis of FVIIIC was slightly faster and the decay slightly slower following the infusion of 100 iu VWF:RiCoF/kg than of 50 iu VWF:RiCoF/kg. Correction of the bleeding time was strongly dose dependent. At 4 h post infusion the median bleeding time was 9 min following a dose of 50 iu VWF:RiCoF/kg versus 3 min with a dose of 100 iu VWF:RiCoF/kg. There was no decrease in the bleeding time until the level of VWF:Ag or VWF:RiCoF reached > 100 u/dl.

Abstract
The safety and efficacy of a monoclonal antibody purified factor IX concentrate were evaluated in two continuing trials of 32 previously untreated patients with mild, moderate, or severe hemophilia B. Patients were evaluated every 2 weeks for 24 weeks and every 3 months thereafter for at least 1 year. No patients became positive for human immunodeficiency virus antibody or hepatitis C virus antibody during the trial. Two patients developed a false-positive hepatitis B core antibody, one transiently, but neither had elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT). None of the 25 patients evaluable for non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis by strict International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis criteria developed elevated levels of ALT indicative of posttransfusion infection. Anaphylaxis occurred in one subject who also developed an inhibitor to factor IX (19.3 Bethesda units). Five of the eight adverse events reported (63%) were mild in severity, and the relationship of three of these to therapy was considered remote. Hemostasis with monoclonal antibody purified factor IX concentrate was excellent in all patients.

Abstract
Rab9 is a Ras-like GTPase required for the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network. Rab9 occurs in the cytosol as a complex with GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI), which we have shown delivers prenyl Rab9 to late endosomes in a functional form. We report here basal rate constants for guanine nucleotide dissociation and GTP hydrolysis for prenyl Rab9. Both rate constants were influenced in part by the hydrophobic environment of the prenyl group. Guanine nucleotide dissociation and GTP hydrolysis rates were lower in the presence of lipid; detergent stimulated intrinsic nucleotide exchange. GDI-alpha inhibited GDP dissociation from prenyl Rab9 by 2.4-fold. GDI-alpha associated with prenyl Rab9 with a KD of 60 nM in 0.1% Lubrol and 23 nM in 0.02% Lubrol. In 0.1% Lubrol, GDI-alpha inhibited GDP dissociation half maximally at 72 +/- 18 nM, consistent with the KD determinations. These data suggest that GDI-alpha associates with prenyl Rab9 with a KD of < or = 23 nM under physiological conditions. Finally, a previously uncharacterized minor form of GDI-alpha inhibited GDP dissociation from prenyl Rab9 by 1.9-fold and bound prenyl Rab9 with a KD of 67 nM in 0.1% Lubrol.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody purified factor IX concentrate, Mononine (Armour Pharmaceutical Company, Kankakee, Illinois, USA), is a recently developed replacement factor concentrate for the treatment of patients with hemophilia B. The pharmacokinetic properties of monoclonal antibody purified factor IX concentrate (MAb Factor IX concentrate) have been evaluated in only small samples of patients, and little is known about those factors that might influenced in vivo recovery of factor IX after infusion is a larger patient population. In vivo recovery of factor IX was therefore evaluated for 80 different indications in 72 patients who received MAb Factor IX concentrate for the management of spontaneous or trauma-induced bleeding, or as prophylaxis with surgery. The average recovery after infusions for presurgical pharmacokinetic analysis (mean +/- standard deviation) was 1.28 +/- 0.56 U/dl rise per U/kg infused (range 0.41-2.80), and the average recovery after all infusions for treatment was 1.23 +/- 0.49 U/dl rise per U/kg infused (range - 0.35-2.92). Recovery values for multiple MAb Factor IX doses in a given patient were also variable; the average recovery was 1.22 +/- 0.53 U/dl rise per U/kg given, and standard deviations ranged from 0.03 to 1.26. Patient age, weight, and MAb Factor IX concentrate dose minimally but significantly influenced factor IX recovery. There was no significant effect of either race, history of previous thrombotic complications during treatment with other replacement factor concentrates, or bleeding state on recovery. All of the patients treated with this preparation experienced excellent hemostasis, and no thrombotic complications were observed.

Abstract
Rab proteins occur in the cytosol bound to Rab-GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI). We demonstrate here that cytosolic complexes of Rab9 bound to GDI represent a functional pool of Rab9 protein that can be utilized for transport from late endosomes to the trans Golgi network in vitro. Immunodepletion of GDI and Rab proteins bound to GDI led to the loss of cytosol activity; readdition of pure Rab9-GDI complexes fully restored cytosol activity. Delipidated serum albumin could solubilize prenylated Rab9 protein, but unlike Rab9-GDI complexes, Rab9-serum albumin complexes led to indiscriminate membrane association of Rab9 protein. Rab9 delivered to membranes by serum albumin was functional, but GDI increased the efficiency of Rab9 utilization, presumably because it suppressed Rab9 protein mistargeting. Finally, GDI inhibited transport of proteins from late endosomes to the trans Golgi network, likely because of its capacity to inhibit the membrane recruitment of cytosolic Rab9. These experiments show that GDI contributes to the selectivity of Rab9 membrane recruitment and presents functional Rab9 to the endosome-trans Golgi network transport machinery.

Abstract
As part of the Hemophilia Growth and Development Study, we investigated the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on statural growth, weight gain, and skeletal and sexual maturity in more than 300 boys with moderate to severe hemophilia, of whom 62% were infected with HIV. Age-adjusted height and weight were reduced in the HIV-infected subjects (p < 0.001). However, mean weight for height and triceps skin-fold thickness of the infected-boys closely resembled those of the uninfected group. In HIV-infected boys, height for age was positively related to the CD4+ lymphocyte count when the count was < 200 cells/mm3. Age-adjusted serum testosterone levels did not differ by HIV status, but in the infected participants the mean age-adjusted bone age was significantly reduced (p = 0.038) and the distribution of Tanner stages, adjusted for age, differed significantly (p = 0.003). The probability of advancing one or more Tanner stages in the first study year was significantly slowed in HIV-infected boys more than 14 years of age (p = 0.0003). We conclude that linear growth was significantly impaired in boys with hemophilia and HIV infection, but the wasting of malnutrition was not found. The delays in bone age and pubertal maturation strongly suggest that part of the growth failure seen in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome can be attributed to pubertal delay. We speculate that the lack of demonstrable difference in age-adjusted testosterone concentrations might reflect subtle differences in the pattern of secretion of testosterone or in the concentration of sex-hormone binding globulin.

Abstract
The Rab GTPases are key regulators of vesicular transport. A fraction of Rab proteins is present in the cytosol, bound with GDP, complexed to a protein termed GDI. Rab9 is localized primarily to late endosomes, where it aids the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors to the trans-Golgi network. It has been proposed that Rab proteins are delivered to specific membranes by GDI, and that this process is accompanied by the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. In addition, Rab localization requires carboxy-terminal prenylation and specific structural determinants. Here we describe the reconstitution of the selective targeting of prenylated Rab9 protein onto late endosome membranes and show that this process is accompanied by endosome-triggered nucleotide exchange.

Abstract
Newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes bind to mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) in the TGN, and are carried to prelysosomes, where they are released. MPRs then return to the TGN for another round of transport. Rab9 is a ras-like GTPase which facilitates MPR recycling to the TGN in vitro. We show here that a dominant negative form of rab9, rab9 S21N, strongly inhibited MPR recycling in living cells. The block was specific in that the rates of biosynthetic protein transport, fluid phase endocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis were unchanged. Expression of rab9 S21N was accompanied by a decrease in the efficiency of lysosomal enzyme sorting. Cells compensated for the presence of the mutant protein by inducing the synthesis of both soluble and membrane-associated lysosomal enzymes, and by internalizing lysosomal enzymes that were secreted by default. These data show that MPRs are limiting in the secretory pathway of cells expressing rab9 S21N and document the importance of MPR recycling and the rab9 GTPase for efficient lysosomal enzyme delivery.

Abstract
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) deficiency causes a rare bleeding disorder by allowing excessive fibrinolysis to occur. Knowledge of the specific type and severity of the bleeding disorder is crucial in planning a safe and appropriate treatment sequence in conjunction with a hemophilia team. This article reports the oral management of a 9-year-old female with PAI-1 inhibitor deficiency using tranexamic acid (Cyclokapron).

Abstract
Platelet-rich thrombi are resistant to lysis by tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Although platelet alpha-granules contain plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a fast-acting inhibitor of t-PA, the contribution of PAI-1 to the antifibrinolytic effect of platelets has remained a subject of controversy. We recently reported a patient with a homozygous mutation within the PAI-1 gene that results in complete loss of PAI-1 expression. Platelets from this individual constitute a unique reagent with which to probe the role of platelet PAI-1 in the regulation of fibrinolysis. The effects of PAI-1-deficient platelets were compared with those of normal platelets in an in vitro clot lysis assay. Although the incorporation of PAI-1-deficient platelets into clots resulted in a moderate inhibition of t-PA-mediated fibrinolysis, normal platelets markedly inhibited clot lysis under the same conditions. However, no difference between PAI-1-deficient platelets and platelets with normal PAI-1 content was observed when streptokinase or a PAI-1-resistant t-PA mutant were used to initiate fibrinolysis. In addition, PAI-1-resistant t-PA was significantly more efficient in lysing clots containing normal platelets than wild-type t-PA. We conclude that platelets inhibit t-PA-mediated fibrinolysis by both PAI-1-dependent and PAI-1-independent mechanisms. These results have important implications for the role of PAI-1 in the resistance of platelet-rich thrombi to lysis in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE A prospective study of coagulation in 15 children who received L-asparaginase, vincristine, or prednisone plus or minus an anthracycline as part of a treatment program for leukemia or leukemia-lymphoma syndrome was conducted. PATIENTS AND METHODS One patient developed a central nervous system thrombosis. RESULTS The inhibitors of coagulation, including antithrombin-III, protein C, protein S, and plasminogen, were decreased in many individuals, but were not significantly different in the patient who had experienced the thrombotic event. Platelet aggregations to low molar ADP were performed in four patients, and in three patients showed a hyperaggregable pattern. CONCLUSIONS The patient with thrombosis developed a transient acquired type II pattern on multimeric analysis of the von Willebrand factor, which was not seen in the other individuals studied.

Abstract
rab9 is a ras-like GTPase which has been implicated in the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network. We have expressed recombinant rab9 in Escherichia coli, purified the protein to homogeneity, and initiated a biochemical analysis of this enzyme. rab9 hydrolyzed GTP with a rate constant of 0.0052 min-1 at 37 degrees C. rab7, a highly homologous endosomal GTPase, hydrolyzed GTP with a rate constant of 0.0023 min-1 at 37 degrees C. At this temperature, GDP and GTP each dissociated from rab9 with first-order rate constants of 0.017 min-1. GDP and GTP dissociated from rab7 at 37 degrees C with first-order rate constants of 0.0054 and 0.0024 min-1, respectively. We modified the procedure of John et al. (John, J., Sohmen, R., Feuerstein, J., Linke, R., Wittinghofer, A., and Goody, R. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 6058-6065) for the preparation of nucleotide-free ras such that the procedure can now be applied to 1000-fold smaller quantities of protein. Using this method, we prepared microgram quantities of nucleotide-free rab9 in a form which is heat-stable, free of exogenous nucleotide-degrading enzymes and which can be stored at -80 degrees C. At 37 degrees C for GDP and GTP, the second-order rate constants for association with nucleotide-free rab9 were 1.7 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 and 1.2 x 10(5) M-1 s-1, respectively, and equilibrium binding constants were 170 pM and 2.4 nM, respectively.

Abstract
Type IIB von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is characterized by the selective loss of large von Willebrand Factor (vWF) multimers from plasma, presumably due to their increased reactivity with platelets and subsequent clearance from the circulation. Using the PCR, one of a panel of four potential missense mutations was identified in each of the 14 patients studied from 11 unrelated families. None of these substitutions was encountered in a large panel of normal DNAs. These changes all represent C----T transitions at CpG dinucleotides, proposed "hot spots" for mutation in the human genome. The four resulting amino acid substitutions, Arg543----Trp, Arg545----Cys, Val553----Met, and Arg578----Gln, are all clustered within the GpIb binding domain of vWF. Disruption of this latter functional domain may explain the pathogenesis of Type IIB vWD. By sequence polymorphism analysis, the Arg543----Trp substitution was shown to have occurred as at least two independent mutational events. This latter observation, along with the identification of mutations in all 14 patients studied and their localization to the GpIb binding domain, all strongly suggest that these substitutions represent the authentic defects responsible for Type IIB vWD. This panel of mutations may provide a useful diagnostic tool for the majority of patients with Type IIB vWD.

Abstract
Development of intracranial dural sinus thrombosis in the postpartum period has been attributed to the hypercoagulable state of pregnancy. With increasing recognition of the role of the vitamin K-dependent proteins, protein C and protein S, in intracranial venous and arterial thrombotic events, our understanding of the cause of thrombotic events has improved. We report a patient who developed a superior sagittal sinus thrombosis in the second week postpartum, associated with a dysfunctional protein C and a decreased free protein S concentration.

Abstract
Previous descriptions of hereditary high-phosphatidylcholine hemolytic anemia (HPCHA) have highlighted the association of increased erythrocyte membrane phosphatidylcholine with abnormal membrane cation permeability. We studied the function and composition of erythrocyte membranes from three individuals with HPCHA to characterize further the membrane abnormalities in this disorder. Despite significant macrocytosis, HPCHA red cells were dehydrated and showed an increased surface area to volume ratio compared to normal red cells. The passive efflux of K+ from HPCHA erythrocytes was increased fourfold at 37 degrees C. Total membrane phospholipid was increased 7-42%, largely due to excess phosphatidylcholine, which made up 35.8-37.2% of total phospholipid. Membrane cholesterol:phospholipid ratios were in the normal range. It appears that the excess phosphatidylcholine was not acquired during circulation, since plasma lipids were normal and all subpopulations of density-separated HPCHA erythrocytes were similarly abnormal. The ratio of total protein to phospholipid in white ghosts was increased, indicating that membrane protein was increased to an even greater extent than membrane lipids. No abnormal membrane proteins were identified by Coomassie or periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining. Quantitation of the major membrane proteins indicated that the total protein excess in HPCHA membranes was due to a proportional increase in all major proteins. We conclude that HPCHA erythrocytes have excess membrane proteins and hypothesize that the changes in lipid composition and cation permeability are secondary to underlying protein abnormalities, which remain to be defined.

Abstract
The prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in newborn infants and the influence of perinatal risk factors were studied prospectively in 934 infants. A noncarboxylated prothrombin assay to detect proteins induced in vitamin K absence (PIVKA-II) was used to determine the presence of vitamin K deficiency; of 934 cord blood samples assayed, 2.9% were positive for PIVKA-II (0.015 to 0.15 U/ml). All infants found to have detectable PIVKA-II were born at term. The number of infants positive for PIVKA-II was greater in the group small for gestational age (7.4%) than in those appropriate (2.7%) or large (3.1%) for gestational age. Nine categories of perinatal risk groups were defined: however, the majority of infants who were PIVKA-II positive (63%) were normal. All infants received prophylactic vitamin K, and no infant with PIVKA-II in the cord sample subsequently had clinical bleeding. In two patients the rate of 50% disappearance of PIVKA-II after vitamin K administration approximated 70 hours. Two PIVKA-II positive patients with active bleeding or disseminated intravascular coagulation had an accelerated disappearance of 20 to 40 hours. The long disappearance time of PIVKA-II in a steady state may allow detection of vitamin K deficiency despite administration of vitamin K. The majority of cases of neonatal vitamin K deficiency occurred in normal newborn infants. Therefore, all infants should receive prophylactic vitamin K at birth.
