Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in premature infants results in inflammation, arrested oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) maturation, and reduced myelination of the white matter. Hyaluronan (HA) inhibits OPC maturation and complexes with the heavy chain (HC) of glycoprotein inter-α-inhibitor to
BACKGROUND
Fibrinogen is an acute phase glycoprotein whose concentration increases in response to trauma. The newly synthesised protein is functionally enhanced and it is known that treatment with neuraminidase increases the rate of fibrin polymerisation. To explore this, we examined the differences
Heparin and its fragments, namely, trisulfated disaccharide, pentasulfated tetrasaccharide, octasulfated hexasaccharide and an oligosaccharide (M.W. 6,300) prepared by enzymatic fragmentation and an oligosaccharide (M.W. 4,500) prepared by chemical fragmentation are potent inhibitors of skin
The sulfation at the 3-OH position of glucosamine is an important modification in forming structural domains for heparan sulfate to enable its biological functions. Seven 3-O-sulfotransferase isoforms in the human genome are involved in the biosynthesis of 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate. As a rare
Blood group H-active polysaccharide has been prepared from "smooth" strain Escherichia coli 2B-V by Freeman's method, alpha-Fucosidase derived from Bacillus fluminans caused the liberation of fucose from this polysaccharide, together with concomitant loss of blood group H activity. The results of
Absorbable hemostatic agents with a high hemostatic efficacy play an important role in surgical and severely traumatic hemostasis. In the present study, by applying polyelectrolyte assembly, polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), using carboxymethyl starch (CMS) and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), with
It is well known that enoxaparin, a widely used anticoagulant and low-molecular-weight heparin containing a large number of oligosaccharides, possesses anti-inflammatory activity. Whilst enoxaparin has shown promising results in various inflammatory disorders, some of its oligosaccharides have
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfates (FuCSs) are a unique type of polysaccharides occurring in sea cucumber that show a variety of biological activities. In particular, well-defined FuCS oligosaccharides, consisting of a trisaccharide repeating unit of
OBJECTIVE
This study assessed the dose response of SR123781A for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR) surgery.
BACKGROUND
Despite VTE preventive measures, residual VTE complications still occur after THR. SR123781A, a synthetic
Loxosceles spp. (brown spider) envenomation has been reported to provoke dermonecrosis and haemorrhage at the bite site (a hallmark of accidents) and, to a lesser extent, thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulation in some cases. Using lectin-immunolabeling,
Escherichia coli O148 is a nonencapsulated enterotoxigenic (ETEC) Gram negative bacterium that can cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. The surface-exposed O-specific polysaccharide (O-SP) of the lipopolysaccharide of this bacterium is considered both a
Absorbable polyelectrolyte complexes-based hemostats are promising for controlling hemorrhage in iatrogenic injuries during surgery, whereas their hemostatic efficacy and other performances require further improvement for clinical application. Herein, spherical mesoporous bioglass nanoparticles
Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infections cause high losses in cultured rainbow trout in Europe. Attempts to produce a recombinant vaccine based on the transmembrane glycoprotein (G protein) have indicated that proper folding is important for the antigenicity and immunogenicity of the
