Shima M. Current status and future prospects of activated recombinant coagulation factor VIIa, NovoSeven®, in the treatment of haemophilia and rare bleeding disorders. Ann Hematol 2024; 103:2647-2658.

Abstract
rFVIIa, a human recombinant activated coagulation factor VII, has been used worldwide for more than two decades for the treatment of bleeding episodes and prevention of bleeding in patients undergoing surgery/invasive procedures with congenital haemophilia A or B with inhibitors (CHwI A or B), acquired haemophilia (AH), congenital factor VII deficiency and Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), refractory to platelet transfusion. The approved dosage, administration and indication of rFVIIa in the US, Europe and Japan differ, depending on the needs of the patient population and regulatory practices. This review presents an overview of the current status and future prospects, including that from a Japanese perspective, of using rFVIIa in the treatment of approved indications. The efficacy and safety of rFVIIa in the approved indications has been demonstrated in several randomised and observational studies and data from registries. The overall incidence of thrombosis across all approved indications in a retrospective safety assessment of clinical trials and registries, prelicensure studies and postmarketing surveillance studies of rFVIIa use was 0.17%. Specifically, the risk of thrombotic events was 0.11% for CHwI, 1.77% for AH, 0.82% for congenital factor VII deficiency and 0.19% for GT. Emerging non-factor therapies such as emicizumab have changed the treatment landscape of haemophilia A, including preventing bleeding in patients with CHwI. However, rFVIIa will continue to play a significant role in the treatment of such patients, particularly during breakthrough bleeding or surgical procedures.

Artificial nerve graft constructed by coculture of activated Schwann cells and human hair keratin for repair of peripheral nerve defects. Neural Regen Res 2022; 18:1118-1123.

Abstract
Studies have shown that human hair keratin (HHK) has no antigenicity and excellent mechanical properties. Schwann cells, as unique glial cells in the peripheral nervous system, can be induced by interleukin-1β to secrete nerve growth factor, which promotes neural regeneration. Therefore, HHK with Schwann cells may be a more effective approach to repair nerve defects than HHK without Schwann cells. In this study, we established an artificial nerve graft by loading an HHK skeleton with activated Schwann cells. We found that the longitudinal HHK microfilament structure provided adhesion medium, space and direction for Schwann cells, and promoted Schwann cell growth and nerve fiber regeneration. In addition, interleukin-1β not only activates Schwann cells, but also strengthens their activity and increases the expression of nerve growth factors. Activated Schwann cells activate macrophages, and activated macrophages secrete interleukin-1β, which maintains the activity of Schwann cells. Thus, a beneficial cycle forms and promotes nerve repair. Furthermore, our studies have found that the newly constructed artificial nerve graft promotes the improvements in nerve conduction function and motor function in rats with sciatic nerve injury, and increases the expression of nerve injury repair factors fibroblast growth factor 2 and human transforming growth factor B receptor 2. These findings suggest that this artificial nerve graft effectively repairs peripheral nerve injury.

Abstract
Hematologic diseases include a broad range of acquired and congenital disorders, many of which affect plasma proteins that control hemostasis and immune responses. Therapeutic interventions for these disorders include transfusion of plasma, cryoprecipitate, immunoglobulins, or convalescent plasma-containing therapeutic antibodies from patients recovering from infectious diseases, as well as concentrated pro- or anticoagulant factors. This review will focus on recent advances in the uses of plasma and its derivatives for patients with acquired and congenital hematologic disorders.
