Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XZD), a renowned traditional Chinese medicine prescription, is widely employed for the management of conditions characterized by qi-stagnation and blood stasis. Although its anti-thrombotic effect on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients has been clinically observed, the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. AIM OF THE STUDY Our aim was to investigate the mechanisms by which XZD exerted its effect on DVT. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) technique was employed to evaluate quality of XZD. To examine the effect of XZD on DVT, a DVT rat model with inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis was established. The 4D-label-free proteomics approach was then utilized to uncover the possible mechanisms of XZD against DVT. Based on proteomics, citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3), along with serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) were observed the inhibitory activity of XZD on neutrophil activation. Subsequently, the marker of platelet activation, specifically glycoprotein IIb (CD41) and glycoprotein IIIa (CD61), were assessed along with the secretion of von Willebrand factor (vWF) to investigate the inhibitory activity of XZD on platelet activation. Finally, we explored the impact of XZD on the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway, which was associated with the activation of platelets and neutrophils. RESULTS Eight distinct components were identified for the quality control of XZD. XZD effectively reduced thrombus weight and length in DVT rats, without affecting the coagulation function or hematological parameters in the systemic circulation. Proteomics analysis revealed that XZD alleviated DVT by inhibiting the activation of platelets and neutrophils. The protein expression of CitH3, along with serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, were reduced in XZD-treated DVT rats. Similarly, protein expressions of CD41 and CD61, along with the release of vWF, were markedly down-regulated in XZD-treated DVT rats. Finally, treatment with XZD resulted in an up-regulation of SIRT1 protein expression and a down-regulation of both acetylated NF-κB/p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB/p65 protein expressions in endothelium. CONCLUSIONS XZD alleviates DVT by inhibiting the activation of platelets and neutrophils at the injured endothelium via the regulation of SIRT1/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Traditional hemostatic hydrogels face considerable limitations in achieving rapid control of severe bleedings, a crucial factor in reducing casualties in both military and civilian settings. This study presents a chitosan-based hemostatic hydrogel with interconnected secondary macropores designed to enhance interactions with blood clotting components by reducing diffusion resistance and increasing contact area. The macropores were created using a straightforward process involving NaOH-mediated SiO2 template dissolution and NH3 generation. The resulting macroporous structure increased the hydrogel's overall porosity without compromising its viscoelasticity. Functional studies demonstrated that the macroporous hydrogel effectively concentrated and adsorbed blood clotting components, while also facilitating the delivery of artificially embedded clotting factor to further expedite clot formation. These combined actions resulted in improve hemostatic efficacy, reducing whole blood clotting time by over 94 % in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo studies using rat tail amputation and liver injury models showed a reduction in blood loss by over 65 % and a decrease in bleeding time by over 70 %. Additionally, the porous chitosan hydrogel exhibited minimal biotoxicity and promoted biodegradability in vivo. In conclusion, this work introduces a macroporous chitosan-based hemostatic hydrogel with great potential for rapid hemorrhage control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of research has shown that patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have significantly higher rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) than healthy. However, the mechanism remains incompletely elucidated. This study aimed to further investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of this complication. METHODS The gene expression profiles of COVID-19 and VTE were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. After identifying the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for COVID-19 and VTE, functional annotation, a protein-protein interactions (PPI) network, module construction, and hub gene identification were performed. Finally, we constructed a transcription factor (TF)-gene regulatory network and a TF-miRNA regulatory network for hub genes. RESULTS A total of 42 common DEGs were selected for subsequent analyses. Functional analyses showed that biological function and signaling pathways collectively participated in the development and progression of VTE and COVID-19. Finally, 8 significant hub genes were identified using the cytoHubba plugin, including RSL24D1, RPS17, RPS27, HINT1, COX7C, RPL35, RPL34, and NDUFA4, which had preferable values as diagnostic markers for COVID-19 and VTE. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the common pathogenesis of COVID-19 and VTE. These common pathways and pivotal genes may provide new ideas for further mechanistic studies.

The Phenomenon of Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Cancer Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:9055.

Abstract
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) encompasses a range of disorders characterized by blood clotting in small blood vessels, leading to organ damage. It can manifest as various syndromes, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), and others, each with distinct causes and pathophysiology. Thrombo-inflammation plays a significant role in TMA pathogenesis: inflammatory mediators induce endothelial injury and activation of platelet and coagulation cascade, contributing to microvascular thrombosis. Primary TMA, such as TTP, is primarily caused by deficient ADAMTS13 metalloproteinase activity, either due to antibody-mediated inhibition or intrinsic enzyme synthesis defects. In cancer patients, a significant reduction in ADAMTS13 levels and a corresponding increase in VWF levels is observed. Chemotherapy further decreased ADAMTS13 levels and increased VWF levels, leading to an elevated VWF/ADAMTS13 ratio and increased thrombotic risk. Drug-induced TMA (DITMA) can result from immune-mediated or non-immune-mediated mechanisms. Severe cases of COVID-19 may lead to a convergence of syndromes, including disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and TMA. Treatment of TMA involves identifying the underlying cause, implementing therapies to inhibit complement activation, and providing supportive care to manage complications. Plasmapheresis may be beneficial in conditions like TTP. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications and improve outcomes.

Abstract
Global public health is seriously threatened by thrombotic disorders because of their high rates of mortality and disability. Most thrombolytic agents, especially protein-based pharmaceuticals, have a short half-life in circulation, reducing their effectiveness in thrombolysis. The creation of an intelligent drug delivery system that delivers medication precisely and releases it under regulated conditions at nearby thrombus sites is essential for effective thrombolysis. In this article, we present a unique medication delivery system (MCRUA) that selectively targets platelets and releases drugs by stimulation from the thrombus' microenvironment. The thrombolytic enzyme urokinase-type plasminogen-activator (uPA) and the anti-inflammatory medication Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) are both loaded onto pH-sensitive CaCO3/cyclodextrin crosslinking metal-organic frameworks (MC) that make up the MCRUA system. c(RGD) is functionalized on the surface of MC, which is functionalized by RGD to an esterification reaction. Additionally, the thrombus site's acidic microenvironment causes MCRUA to disintegrate to release uPA for thrombolysis and aiding in vessel recanalization. Moreover, cyclodextrin-encapsulated ASA enables the treatment of the inflammatory environment within the thrombus, enhancing the antiplatelet aggregation effects and promoting cooperative thrombolysis therapy. When used for thrombotic disorders, our drug delivery system (MCRUA) promotes thrombolysis, suppresses rethrombosis, and enhances biosafety with fewer hemorrhagic side effects.

Abstract
The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) continues to rise, making it one of the most prevalent chronic liver disorders. MASLD encompasses a range of liver pathologies, from simple steatosis to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with inflammation, hepatocyte damage, and fibrosis. Interestingly, the liver exhibits close intercommunication with fatty tissue. In fact, adipose tissue could contribute to the etiology and advancement of MASLD, acting as an endocrine organ that releases several hormones and cytokines, with the adipokines assuming a pivotal role. The levels of adipokines in the blood are altered in people with MASLD, and recent research has shed light on the crucial role played by adipokines in regulating energy expenditure, inflammation, and fibrosis in MASLD. However, MASLD disease is a multifaceted condition that affects various aspects of health beyond liver function, including its impact on hemostasis. The alterations in coagulation mechanisms and endothelial and platelet functions may play a role in the increased vulnerability and severity of MASLD. Therefore, more attention is being given to imbalanced adipokines as causative agents in causing disturbances in hemostasis in MASLD. Metabolic inflammation and hepatic injury are fundamental components of MASLD, and the interrelation between these biological components and the hemostasis pathway is delineated by reciprocal influences, as well as the induction of alterations. Adipokines have the potential to serve as the shared elements within this complex interrelationship. The objective of this review is to thoroughly examine the existing scientific knowledge on the impairment of hemostasis in MASLD and its connection with adipokines, with the aim of enhancing our comprehension of the disease.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are macromolecular substances with a wide range of biological activities. The structural modification of polysaccharides by chemical means can enhance their biological activity. This paper reviews the latest research reports on the chemical modification of natural polysaccharides. At present, the modification methods of polysaccharides mainly include sulfation, phosphorylation, carboxymethylation, socialization, methylation and acetylation. The chemical and physical structures of the modified polysaccharides were detected via ultraviolet spectroscopy, FT-IR, high-performance liquid chromatography, ultraviolet spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscopy. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the modified polysaccharide has various biological activities, such as antioxidant, antitumor, immune regulation, antiviral, antibacterial and anticoagulant functions in vitro. This review provides fresh ideas for the research and application of polysaccharide structure modification.
