Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: The dysregulated host responses play a crucial role in the pathophysiology process of sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The study aimed to characterize the dynamic alternation of immune-related biomarkers and their relationship with the progression of DIC during sepsis. Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted in a tertiary care academic hospital. Six hundred forty patients with sepsis were classified into three groups according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) score: 383 involved patients without DIC (ISTH = 0), 168 sepsis with nonovert DIC (ISTH = 1-4), and 89 sepsis with overt DIC (ISTH ≥5). Eighteen immune-related biomarkers and six routine coagulation variables were examined at D1, D3, and D7 upon enrollment. The association between the immune parameters and the DIC deterioration was assessed during sepsis. Results: The study showed a 40% coagulation disorder and a 14% incidence of overt DIC in patients with sepsis. The patients with overt DIC displayed pronounced immune disorders from D1 to D7 upon sepsis, which was characterized by the decreased percentage of monocyte HLA-DR (mHLA-DR), increased percentage of regulatory T cells, the levels of procalcitonin, neutrophil CD64 index, and systemic inflammatory cytokines relative to nonovert DIC or non-DIC patients. In multivariate analysis, the combination of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and mHLA-DR at D1 upon enrollment had a superior predictive value for predicting DIC deterioration in sepsis (area under the curve = 0.87, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: These data illustrate that immunosuppression can crosstalk with coagulation disorder during sepsis and present an additional evaluation tool to predict DIC deterioration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lupus anticoagulant-hypoprothrombinemia syndrome (LAHPS) is a rare disease caused by acquired factor II (FII) deficiency and lupus anticoagulant. Patients with LAHPS typically present with thrombosis and bleeding. However, little information is available on the evaluation of coagulation potential in patients with LAHPS. We examined global coagulation potentials in patients with LAHPS during the clinical course in this study. METHODS Coagulation potentials in two pediatric patients with LAHPS were assessed by measuring clotting time (CT) and clot formation time using Ca2+-triggered rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), CT and maximum coagulation velocity using clot waveform analysis (CWA), and lag time and peak thrombin using the thrombin generation assay (TGA). The day of admission was defined as day 0. RESULTS In case 1, the bleeding symptoms disappeared by day 5. However, the TGA and CWA results were markedly lower than normal, although FII activity (FII:C) returned to within the normal range by day 14. In contrast, ROTEM revealed a recovery to near-normal levels (day 14). All coagulation parameters (day 80) were within normal ranges. In case 2, coagulation potential was severely depressed until day 12, although FII:C returned to normal levels. Bleeding symptoms disappeared on day 19, and the ROTEM data revealed that the parameters were close to the normal range. The coagulation parameters in all assays were normalized on day 75. CONCLUSIONS Recovery of coagulation potential in patients with LAHPS was slower than the recovery of FII:C. Moreover, ROTEM appeared to be clinically useful for assessing coagulation potential in patients with LAHPS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis (CFWA), which is a coagulation and fibrinolysis global assay based on assessing the activated partial thromboplastin time with tissue-type plasminogen activator, was developed. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of CFWA using plasma samples from patients in the critical care unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS The fibrinolysis times using CFWA were measured in 298 plasma samples. These samples were divided into three groups based on the reference interval (RI) of fibrinolysis time using CFWA: shortened group, less than RI; within group, within RI; prolonged group, more than RI. The coagulation and fibrinolysis markers, including D-dimer, plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), fibrin monomer complex (FMC), plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor (α2-PI), plasminogen (Plg), and fibrinogen (Fbg) were analyzed and compared among the three groups. RESULTS The FMC level decreased in the order of shortened, within, and prolonged groups, and the decrease was statistically significant among all three group pairs. The opposite tendency was observed for Fbg and fibrinolysis-related markers of α2-PI and Plg, and significant differences were recognized in all pair comparisons except for between within and prolonged groups in Plg. The mean values of the fibrinolysis markers D-dimer and PIC in all three groups were higher than the cut-off values, and the PIC value differed significantly between the within and prolonged groups. CONCLUSION The fibrinolysis reaction was detected in all three groups, but the status differed. CFWA has the potential to reflect the fibrinolysis status in one global assay.

Abstract
Clot waveform analysis (CWA) is a recently developed global coagulation assessment, based on the continuous observation of changes in light transmittance, absorbance, or light scattering that occurs as fibrin formed in a plasma sample during routine clotting tests such as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT). CWA can utilize qualitative waveform patterns as well as sensitive quantitative parameters and can be used as a simple method to assess global hemostasis, and can be applied to various challenging clinical situations. Although not all coagulation analyzers currently in use are able to provide CWA, the number of analyzers available to do so is increasing, as the usefulness of this process has become more widely recognized. CWA can be based on the coagulation mechanism of aPTT, an intrinsic trigger, and this has been reported in many studies, including diagnosis and treatment of patients with hemophilia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and monitoring of anticoagulants and thrombosis. CWA using trace amounts of tissue factors also has the potential to expand the applications of this technology. Recently, there have been reports of the combined evaluation of fibrinolytic dynamics. Among the existing global coagulation assays, CWA may prove to be the easiest to standardize in clinical practice. However, more extensive testing using standardized methods in various clinical settings is needed to determine the true role of CWA in the evaluation of hemostasis and thrombosis in the future.

Abstract
Disturbances in the balance between coagulation, anticoagulation and fibrinolysis may lead to thrombosis or haemorrhage. Simultaneous assessments of thrombin and plasmin facilitate overall understandings of pathological haemostasis, especially for thrombophilia. Here, we characterized coagulation-fibrinolysis potentials in plasmas with thrombophilia using anticoagulants-mediated thrombin-plasmin generation assay (T/P-GA). T/P-GA was initiated by adding tissue factor, tissue-type plasminogen activator and anticoagulants [recombinant-thrombomodulin (rTM), activated protein (P)C (APC) and antithrombin (AT)], followed by simultaneous thrombin generation and plasma generation monitoring. Patients' plasmas with PC-deficiency (PC-def), PS-deficiency (PS-def), AT-deficiency (AT-def), factor VLeiden (FVL) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) were evaluated. A ratio of peak-thrombin (or peak-plasmin) with and without anticoagulants was calculated as anticoagulants (+)/anticoagulants (-). First, TG, in rTM-mediated, PC-def, PS-def and FVL showed higher peak-thrombin ratios than the controls, whereas AT-def and APS exhibited no differences from the controls. In APC-mediated, PC-def, PS-def and AT-def showed low peak-thrombin ratios, similar to the controls, but immune-depleted PS-def (<1%) showed the higher ratio than the controls. FVL and APS showed higher peak-thrombin ratios than the controls. In AT-mediated, peak-thrombin ratios in PS-def, PC-def and APS were lower than in controls, but those in AT-def and FVL was not significantly different from the controls. Second, PG, in rTM-mediated, all thrombophilia plasmas showed low peak-plasmin ratios (∼0.5), but no significant difference was observed, relative to the controls. In APC and AT-mediated, peak-plasmin ratios in thrombophilia-related plasmas were similar to the controls (∼1.0). Anticoagulants-mediated T/P-GA may classify thrombin generation characteristics in thrombophilia-related plasmas upon adding anticoagulants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Absolute or relative protein (P)C pathway abnormalities (PC deficiency, PS deficiency, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), factor (F)V-abnormality, and high FVIII level) cause thrombophilia. Although screening assays for these thrombophilias are available, one utilizing clot waveform analysis (CWA) remains unknown. We aimed to establish a CWA-based screening assay to distinguish PC pathway abnormality-related thrombophilia. METHODS Samples were reacted with tissue factor (TF)/phospholipids and recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM; optimal 20 nM), followed by CWA measurement. The peak ratio (with/without rTM) of the first derivative curve of clot waveform was calculated. RESULTS The peak ratio in healthy plasmas (n = 35) was 0.36 ± 0.13; hence, the cutoff value was set to 0.49. The peak ratios in plasmas with PC deficiency, PS deficiency, high-FVIII (spiked 300 IU/dl), and APS were higher than the cutoff values (0.79/0.97/0.50/0.93, respectively). PC-deficient plasma or PS-deficient plasma mixed with normal plasma (25%/50%/75%/100% PC or PS level) showed dose-dependent decreases in the peak ratios (PC deficient: 0.85/0.64/0.44/0.28; PS deficient: 0.69/0.53/0.40/0.25), suggesting that the peak ratio at ≤50% of PC or PS level exceeded the cutoff value. The peak ratio in FV deficiency with FV ≤25% was higher than the cutoff value. FV-deficient plasma spiked with 40 IU/dl rFV-R506Q (FVLeiden ) or rFV-W1920R (FVNara ) showed >90% peak ratios. CONCLUSIONS rTM-mediated TF-triggered CWA might be useful for screening PC pathway abnormality-related thrombophilia.

Abstract
Coagulation and fibrinolytic mechanisms are enhanced in patients with coronavirus (COVID-19), but disturbances in the balance of both functions in COVID-19 patients remain unclear. We assessed global coagulation and fibrinolysis in plasma from 167 COVID-19 patients (mild/moderate/severe: 62/88/17, respectively) on admission using clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis (CFWA). Maximum coagulation velocity (|min1|) and maximum fibrinolysis velocity (|FL-min1|) were expressed as ratios relative to normal plasma. Ten patients (6.0%) developed thrombosis, 5 (3.0%) had bleeding tendency, and 13 (7.8%) died during admission. FDP levels increased with severity of COVID-19 symptoms (mild/moderate/severe; median 2.7/4.9/9.9 μg/mL, respectively). The |min1| ratios were elevated in all categories (1.27/1.61/1.58) in keeping with enhanced coagulation potential, with significant differences between mild cases and moderate to severe cases. The |FL-min1| ratios were also elevated in all groups (1.19/1.39/1.40), reflecting enhanced fibrinolytic potential. These data identified coagulation dominance in moderate to severe cases, but balanced coagulation and fibrinolysis in mild cases. There were significant differences in FDP and TAT, but no significant differences in |min1| or |FL-min1| ratios, between patients with and without thrombosis. CFWA monitoring of coagulation and fibrinolysis dynamics could provide valuable data for understanding hemostatic changes and disease status in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a common underlying disease associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We have recently determined hemostatic pathological states at diagnosis through simultaneous assessment of coagulation and fibrinolysis potentials in sepsis-associated DIC using clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis. Here we aimed to investigate hemostatic pathological states, focusing on the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis dynamics during the clinical course in pediatric sepsis-associated DIC. METHODS Coagulation and fibrinolysis potential functions in three pediatric patients with sepsis-associated DIC during their clinical course were quantified using clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis. A maximum coagulation velocity (|min1|) and maximum fibrinolysis velocity (|FL-min1|) was calculated as a ratio relative to normal plasma. RESULTS In case 1, coagulation-enhanced and fibrinolysis-depressed state (|min1|-ratio 2.22 and |FL-min1|-ratio 0.42) was observed on day 1. This discrepancy significantly reduced after anticoagulant therapy and plasma exchange on day 2. A well-balanced hemostatic state (0.70 and 0.62, respectively) was restored on day 7. In case 2, fibrinolysis-impaired state (|min1|-ratio 1.09 and |FL-min1|-ratio 0.21) was seen on day 1. The |min1| ratio was slightly prolonged and the |FL-min1| ratio was severely decreased. Both were restored on day 7 and returned to normal levels on day 12. In case 3, twofold coagulation- and fibrinolysis-enhanced states (|min1|-ratio 1.99 and |FL-min1|-ratio 1.11) were seen on day 1. However, both potentials rapidly decreased on day 2 (0.49 and 0.0, respectively). She died on day 5. CONCLUSIONS The hemostatic pathological states in sepsis-associated DIC depend on disease progression. Comprehensive assessment of coagulation-fibrinolysis potentials over time may therefore be helpful in considering optimal treatment plans for sepsis-associated DIC.
