Journal ArticleDOI

Factor VIIa and antithrombin III activity during severe sepsis and septic shock in neutropenic patients.

TL;DR: Septic shock in neutropenic patients is associated with increased thrombin generation, and both FVIIa and AT III measurements are sensitive markers of an unfavorable prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its cellular receptor KDR (VEGFR-2) in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: Results provide evidence for increased expression of VEGF/VEGFR-2 of leukemic blasts and correlation with angiogenesis in the bone marrow of AML patients and might constitute promising targets for antiangiogenic and antileukemic treatment strategies in AML.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase of plasminogen activator inhibitor levels predicts outcome of leukocytopenic patients with sepsis.

TL;DR: Septic shock in leukocytopenia is associated with significant activation of the fibrinolytic system presumably as a response of the vascular endothelium to inflammatory injury and PAI activity measurements are sensitive markers of an unfavourable prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantification of Plasminogen Activators and Their Inhibitors in the Aortic Vessel Wall in Relation to the Presence and Severity of Atherosclerotic Disease

TL;DR: A large excess of PAI-1 over PA concentrations, particularly in the intimal layer, characterizes atherosclerotic lesions of the human aorta and suggests that PA action is locally confined and counterbalanced by enhanced PAI expression and accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biologic effects of recombinant hirudin (CGP 39393) in human volunteers

TL;DR: The activated partial thromboplastin time test seems to be well suited to monitor the anticoagulant effect of recombinant hirudin because the dose effect is linear up to 0.5 mg/kg of subcutaneous CGP 39393.
