Dogs with sepsis are more hypercoagulable and have higher fibrinolysis inhibitor activities than dogs with non-septic systemic inflammation by Emily Hill, Yao Zhu, Marjory B. Brooks, Robert Goggs, Robert Goggs

“…Thrombin generation and overall hemostasis potential assays were performed and concentrations of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and H3.1 nucleosomes quantitated.ResultsCompared to dogs with nSIRS, dogs with sepsis had higher fibrinogen concentrations, greater endogenous thrombin potential, higher AP and TAFI activities and greater overall hemostasis and coagulation potential values. H3.1 nucleosome and cfDNA concentrations were strongly correlated and significantly associated with various coagulation variables. …”

Analysis of influencing factors in tunneled cuffed catheter dysfunction in hemodialysis patients by CHEN Fang, ZOU Rong, CHEN Dan, ZHANG Huang, HE Da, CHENG Li, XIONG Fei

“…Objective To retrospectively analyze the influencing factors of tunneled cuffed catheter(TCC) dysfunction in hemodialysis patients.Methods A total of 70 patients,who underwent TCC implantation in Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2016 to June 2018 were selected.Their implantation sites were in right internal jugular vein.They received dialysis 3 times every week.According to whether there was catheter dysfunction within 3 months and 12 months,after implantation(if dialysis blood flow was below 200 mL/min,some intervention measures including body position adjustment,inversion of tube connection and thrombolysis),the patients were divided into patent group and blocked group.Their ages,sex,protopathy,body mass index(BMI),location of catheter tip,hemoglobin(Hb),platelet(PLT),albumin(Alb),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),fibrinogen(Fib) were collected.By means of comparing variables between patent groups and blocked groups,the primary patency rate of the catheters was calculated,and the influencing factors of catheter dysfunction were identified. …”
