ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of different low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) in improving pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent abortion. MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the objectives from inception to July 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 16.0 software. ResultsA total of 25 RCTs involving 4 631 patients were included. Enoxaparin, dalteparin, nadroparin, and tinzaparin were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that the live birth rate of the tinzaparin was higher than that of enoxaparin and dalteparin. The live birth rate in nadroparin was higher than that in enoxaparin and dalteparin. The cumulative sorting probability showed that tinzaparin ranked best for improving the live birth rate, nadroparin ranked best for reducing the miscarriage rate, and enoxaparin ranked best for reducing the preterm birth rate. ConclusionCurrent evidence suggests that tinzaparin and nadroparin may be the best choice for improving pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent abortion. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) in prophylaxis of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following hip and knee surgery. METHODS From April 1997 to October 1998, 46 patients undergoing hip and knee orthopedic procedures were randomized into 2 groups for studying. The following eligibility criteria were applied: age over 40 years old, no recently history of venous thromboembolism (over 3 months), normal result of preoperative hemostasis test and normal result of Doppler examination of the lower extremities. One group was control group and the other group received subcutaneously a low molecular weight heparin(Fraxiparine) with anti-factor X, activity of 41 IU/kg.day for three days, then 62 IU/kg.day from the 4th day to 10th day. All patients had venegraphy performed in the operated leg at 4 to 7 days after surgery. RESULTS eight patients(34.8%) developed DVT in the control group of 23 patients and 1 patient (4.3%) in the experimental group, also of 23 patients(P lt; 0.05). Two groups had no any bleeding complications. CONCLUSION The low molecular weight heparin is safe and effective in preventing postoperative deep vein thrombosis in patients following hip and knee surgery.
Objective?During primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), anticoagulant drugs are used for prevention of major venous thrombosis of lower limbs, and this often leads to the increase of perioperative blood loss. To retrospectively analyse the impact of low molecular weight heparin on hidden blood loss and transfusion rate after primary TKA by comparing with the use of aspirin.?Methods?Between October 2007 and August 2009, the clinical data from 286 patients undergoing primary TKA surgery were retrospectively analyzed. In accordance with different anticoagulation methods, the cases were divided into 2 groups, the trial group (n=166) and the control group (n=120). In the trial group, the patients received low molecular weight heparin (4 000-6 000 U/day) from 8-12 hours after TKA for 14 days; there were 27 males and 139 females with an average age of 66.1 years (range, 22-82 years); the body mass index (BMI) was 26.79 ± 3.87; and the locations were the left knee in 99 cases and the right knee in 67 cases with an average disease duration of 4.1 years (range, 1.8-8.6 years). In the control group, the patients received aspirin (150 mg/day) for 14 days; there were 21 males and 99 females with an average age of 64.9 years (range, 40-84 years); the BMI was 27.87 ± 3.62; and the locations were the left knee in 78 cases and the right knee in 42 cases with an average disease duration of 4.9 years (range, 1.5-8.2 years). There was no significant difference in the general data between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05).?Results?The incisions healed by first intention in all patients. Postoperative deep venous thrombosis occurred in 37 patients of the trial group and in 28 cases of the control group. All the patients were followed up 12-34 months (mean, 21.6 months). There were significant differences in the United States Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score of 2 groups between before surgery and after surgery (P lt; 0.05). The hidden blood loss was (40.55 ± 37.75) g/L in the trial group and (32.52 ± 40.13) g/L in the control group, showing significant difference (t=3.387, P=0.001); the dominant blood loss was (24.08 ± 14.63) g/L and (27.91 ± 18.47) g/L respectively, showing no significant difference (t= —1.899, P=0.059). The blood transfusion rates were 40.4% (67/166) in the trial group and 30.0% (36/120) in the control group, showing no significant difference (χ2=2.771, P=0.081); the transfusion volumes were (1.44 ± 4.03) U and (0.97 ± 3.50) U respectively, showing significant difference (t=2.071, P=0.039).?Conclusion?The low molecular weight heparin has effect on the hidden blood loss after primary TKA, which may increase postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion rate. The changes in hemoglobin should be monitored during the anticoagulant therapy, and the blood volume should be added promptly.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of different low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) for prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on efficacy and safety of different low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) in preventing thrombotic diseases in patients with atrial fibrillation from inception to March 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies; then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 16.0 software.ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 7 400 patients who were treated with enoxaparin, dalteparin, or tinzaparin to prevent thromboembolic events were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that: in patients with AF and perioperative AF patients, there were no statistical differences in the incidence of stroke, TIA, major bleeding, minor bleeding, and all-cause mortality caused by dalteparin, enoxaparin, and tinzaparin. Furthermore, the surface under the cumulative ranking area (SUCRA) showed that enoxaparin was superior for prevention of stroke and TIA than dalteparin and tinzaparin. As for major bleeding, minor bleeding, and all-cause death, dalteparin treatment was superior than enoxaparin.ConclusionsCurrent evidence showed enoxaparin to be a viable option for high ischemic risk AF patients requiring LWMH treatment, while dalteparin to be a viable option for those with bleeding high risk. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To observe the protective effects of unfractionated heparin (UFH) on high-mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) induced increased permeability of endothelial cells, and investigate the protective mechanism of UFH on HMGB1 induced defective expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). Methods Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were culturedin vitro and divided into 4 groups (n=5), namely a control group, a HMGB1 group (100 ng/ml), a heparin group (UFH 10 U/ml), a HMGB1/heparin group (100 ng/ml HMGB1 + UFH 10 U/ml). Endothelial cell viability was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric method. Endothelial permeability was determination by Transwell chamber method. Immunofluorescence and laser confocal microscopy were used to assess the distribution of ZO-1. The protein expressions of tight junction protein ZO-1 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were detected by Western blot. Results HMGB1 (100 ng/ml) had no inhibitory effect on endothelial cell viability (P＞0.05). UFH pretreatment could reduce the permeability increment of endothelial cells induced by HMGB1. UFH pretreatment could reduce the close loop reduction and damage of ZO-1 induced by HMGB1, enhance the fluorescence intensity and expression of ZO-1, and decrease the NF-κB translocation. Conclusions UFH can protect HMGB1-mediated defect of ZO-1 expression and increased permeability of the endothelial cells. The mechanism may be related to the decreased nuclear translocation of NF-κB.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the clinical efficacy of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in treating patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MethodsDatabases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 10, 2013), EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about LMWH in treating acute exacerbation of COPD from the establishment to October 2013. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 6 RCTs involving 501 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:compared with the control group, LMWH significantly improved levels of D-dimmer (MD=-0.28, 95%CI-0.50 to-0.05, P=0.02), reduced carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) (MD=-3.42, 95%CI-6.66 to-0.18, P=0.04), improved coagulation (PT) (MD=1.85, 95%CI 1.29 to 2.42, P < 0.000 01), and improved clinical symptoms and signs (RR=1.33, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.58, P=0.001), but it did not improve oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) (MD=0.28, 95%CI-3.04 to 3.61, P=0.87). During treatment, no severe adverse reaction occurred in both groups. ConclusionLMWH could significantly improve symptoms caused by acute exacerbation of COPD. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusion needs to be confirmed by conducting more high quality RCTs with larger sample size.

Objective To investigate the effects of component blood transfusion combined with heparin therapy on coagulation function and clinical outcomes in pregnant women with acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 65 pregnant women with acute DIC who were treated in Obstetrics Department of Luzhou People’ s Hospital between March 2020 and March 2022. Pregnant women treated with component blood transfusion were included in the control group, while those treated with component blood transfusion combined with heparin were included in the observation group. Before and after treatment, the DIC scoring system was used for score evaluation. Coagulation function indicators and routine blood indicators were compared between the two groups of pregnant women. Adverse clinical outcomes and adverse reactions were observed in both groups of pregnant women. Results The study enrolled 65 pregnant women, comprising 30 in the observation group and 35 in the control group. Before treatment, there was no statistical difference in DIC score, coagulation function indicators, or routine blood indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the DIC score, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, and D-dimer significantly decreased in both groups (P<0.05), and the above indicators in the observation group [3.39±0.48, (13.28±2.28) s, (24.68±2.06) s, (14.27±1.82) s, and (2.23±0.88) mg/L, respectively] were lower than those in the control group [4.11±1.56, (15.02±2.45) s, (26.79±3.18) s, (15.61±1.91) s, and (2.87±0.74) mg/L, respectively] (P<0.05). The levels of fibrinogen, platelet count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit significantly increased in both groups (P<0.05), and the levels in the observation group [(4.29±1.05) g/L, (175.36±20.46)×109/L, (84.09±7.27) g/L, and (25.49±3.13)%, respectively] were higher than those in the control group [(3.44±1.27) g/L, (145.77±21.12)×109/L, (76.58±7.13) g/L, and (23.03±3.05)%, respectively] (P<0.05). The observation group had a lower incidence rate of adverse clinical outcomes compared to the control group (33.3% vs. 74.3%, P<0.05). The incidence rates of adverse reactions were not statistically different between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Component blood transfusion combined with heparin therapy for pregnant women with acute DIC can effectively improve their coagulation function, reduce the risk of bleeding, and further improve adverse clinical outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy. Additionally, this treatment approach demonstrates a high safety profile.
In order to enhance the anticoagulant properties of decellularized biological materials as scaffolds for tissue engineering research via heparinized process, the decellularized porcine liver scaffolds were respectively immobilized with heparin through layer-by-layer self-assembly technique (LBL), multi-point attachment (MPA) or end-point attachment (EPA). The effects of heparinization and anticoagulant ability were tested. The results showed that the three different scaffolds had different contents of heparin. All the three kinds of heparinized scaffolds gained better performance of anticoagulant than that of the control scaffold. The thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of EPA scaffold group were longest in all the groups, and all the three times exceeded the measurement limit of the instrument. In addition, EPA scaffolds group showed the shortest prepared time, the slowest speed for heparin release and the longest recalcification time among all the groups. The decellularized biological materials for tissue engineering acquire the best effect of anticoagulant ability in vitro via EPA heparinized technique.
ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium (LHC) combined with trimetazidine on intestinal smooth muscle of intestinal acute mesangial vein thrombosis (AMVT) in rats and it's mechanism of effect. MethodsA total of 120 SD male rats were randomly divided into three groups, with 40 rats in each group. LHC group: after the AMVT model established, rats were subcutaneous injection the LHC (30 U/100 g) per 12 h until 72 h after surgery. LHC+trimetazidine group (LHCT group): after the AMVT model established, rats were subcutaneous injection the LHC (30 U/100 g) and tail vein injection the trimetazidine (10 mg/kg) per 12 h until 72 h after surgery. Normal saline group (NS group): after the AMVT model established, rats were subcutaneous injection the NS (0.2 mL/100 g) per 12 h until 72 after surgery. The AMVT model were established by blocking superior mesenteric vein of 8 cm and the edge vein arch. Vena cava blood samples and intestinal segments were collected sequentially at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h afrer surgery. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and creatine kinase (CK) in the blood, and the level of ATP in the intestinal tissue samples were measured with ELISA. Intestinal tissue were taken from the rats for inestinal tissue section, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, examined under light microscopy and evaluated histopathologically using mesemeche scoring system at different time. ResultsCompared with the LHC group and NS group, the levels of MDA and CK in blood and histopathology score of intestinal tissues in rats were significantly decreased, and the level of ATP significantly increased in LHCT group at different time point (P < 0.05). ConclusionTrimetazidine can improve intestinal smooth muscle energy metabolism in the AMVT disease, comined with LHC early can avoid intestinal smooth muscle wall permeability coagulation necrosis and reduce the intestinal smooth muscle damage.
