Plasma transfusion or four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) are commonly used to treat coagulopathic bleeding after CPB without knowledge of how each may restore TG. To determine the effect of PCC infusion on restoration of thrombin generation compared with plasma transfusion, we performed a laboratory-based secondary analysis of a randomized, controlled trial of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery to assess efficacy and safety of 4 F-PCC versus plasma for treatment of perioperative coagulopathic bleeding after CPB. Participants were randomized to receive either PCC (15 IU/kg) or plasma (10-15 ml/kg) after separation from CPB. Participant blood samples were obtained at pre-specified serial timepoints, with laboratory assays for TG and factor levels subsequently performed. The primary outcome was change in thrombin generation (TG) parameters after each randomized treatment through postoperative day 5. Secondary outcomes included serially derived clotting factor levels. Of 100 randomized participants, 99 were included in this laboratory analysis (PCC group, N = 51; plasma group, N = 48). After treatment, participants in the PCC group compared with those in the plasma group showed higher endogenous thrombin potential (ETP, Median, Interquartile range, IQR: 688 [371-1069] vs. 1088 [550-1691] nM minutes, P = 0.01), a greater increase din ETP (P = 0.002) and peak TG (P = 0.01) in the timepoints between heparin reversal and after treatment administration. Both groups demonstrated similar values in all TG assays by postoperative day 1 (P > 0.05).

Annexin A1 is an important member of the annexin family. Despite its wide range of biological functions across various tissues and cells, the role of Annexin A1 in AS remains largely unexplored. In this study, we demonstrate that Annexin A1 treatment effectively reduced the expression of LOX-1 at both the mRNA and protein levels in HUVECs exposed to ox-LDL. Annexin A1 also ameliorated oxidative stress (OS) by decreasing mitochondrial ROS levels and restoring reduced GSH levels. Moreover, Annexin A1 decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 and MCP-1. Importantly, Annexin A1 inhibited ox-LDL-induced expressions of the endothelial adhesion molecules, such as E-selectin and VCAM-1 in HUVECs, which leads to reduced attachment of THP-1 monocytes to HUVECs. Mechanically, we found that Annexin A1 reversed the expression of KLF2 against ox-LDL mediated by the PI3K/Akt axis. Notably, the silencing of KLF2 abrogated the protective effects of Annexin A1 on E-selectin and VCAM-1 expression and the attachment of THP-1 monocytes to HUVECs.
