PT extension
It is generally believed that PT prolongation represents that the activity of coagulation factors II, V, VII and X is lower than normal or the presence of anticoagulant substances.liver functionSlightly damaged, PT is still normal, it is onlyHepatoparenchymal cellsOnly when it is seriously damaged can it be significantly prolonged.Only judged by PThepatopathypatientCoagulation functionExceptions andHepatocyte injuryThe degree is not enough. If the activity of coagulation factors is measured at the same time, it may be more valuable.
Liver Disease and Coagulation Factor II
Most studies believe thatAcute hepatitisandchronic hepatitisIn mild patients, the activity of coagulation factor II was normal or slightly decreased;Chronic hepatitis moderate, severe andcirrhosisIn patients, the activity level of coagulation factor II decreased significantly, indicating that the degree of its reduction is similar to that ofHepatocyteThe degree of damage is closely related.Some studies believe that it is abnormalprothrombin(protein-Ⅱ induced by vitamin Kabscence, PIVKA - Ⅱ)Primary liver cancerDiagnosis of, partialAFPPIVKA - Ⅱ is positive in patients with negative primary liver cancerSmall hepatocellular carcinomaThe positive rate of PIVKA - Ⅱ in patients is higher than that in AFP, which is also helpful to the condition change and curative effect judgment of primary liver cancerJoint testingAFP and PIVKA - Ⅱ.
Coagulation factor V
Coagulation factor
Research shows that the activity of coagulation factor V decreases only when the liver function is decompensated or severe liver disease occurs, so it is considered as a judgment for patients with liver diseaseprognosisGood indicators.Izumi and other studies show that:AcetaminophenIn patients with induced fulminant hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation, when the activity of coagulation factor V is less than 20%positive predictive value 0.49, 0.57 when<10%;However, those induced by other reasons need liver transplantationFulminant hepatic failureFor patients with coagulation factor V activity<20%, the positive predictive value for death is 0.85, and 1.00 for patients with coagulation factor V activity<10%. Therefore, it is considered that coagulation factor V activity is the best prognostic factor for patients with non acetaminophen induced fulminant hepatic failureForecast indicators。Zou Zhengsheng and other researchers believe that the level of coagulation factor V is more specific than PTASevere hepatitisThe combination of the two may help to diagnose severe hepatitis earlier and more accurately. At the same time, it is pointed out that the detection of factor V of severe hepatitis should be strengthened and the role of factor V inhepatic failurePatient lineLiver transplantationStudy on the main screening indicators.The activity of coagulation factor V is not only used to judge the prognosis, but also closely related to the formation of thrombusPortal vein thrombosisForecast indicators of.
Coagulation factor Ⅶ
Coagulation factor Ⅶhalf lifeThe shortest time (4~6h), low plasma content (0.5~2mg/L), so it can be used as a liver disease patientprotein synthesisEarly stage of hypofunctionDiagnostic indicators。Rodriguez Inigo is waitingChronic liver diseasePatient passesLiver biopsytissue in site hybridizationThe expression of coagulation factor Ⅶ andhepatic fibrosis The degree of fibrosis is negatively correlated, which can be used as an index to predict the degree of fibrosis.The activity of coagulation factor Ⅶ is also closely related to the prognosis. For example, Violi and other researchers believe that the activity of coagulation factor Ⅶ is less than 34%cirrhosis93% of patients died within 10 months of follow-up, so it is considered to be an early predictor of the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis, which can better identify candidates for liver transplantation.The activity of coagulation factor Ⅶ in patients with cirrhosis can be significantly reduced, and the deficiency of coagulation factor Ⅶ can lead to the change of platelet activityplatelet count ReduceBleeding timeProlonged, so for patients with liver cirrhosis who have invasive diagnosis and treatment, the activity of coagulation factor Ⅶ should also be used for bleedingRiskAnd not just the platelet count.In addition to diagnosis, recombinant coagulation factor Ⅶ can effectively correct abnormal coagulation in patients with liver disease, which is conducive to the invasive examination.
Coagulation factor ⅧNot only byHepatocyteIt is produced by the sinusendothelial cellsAndKupffer cellIt can be produced by other tissues such as kidney.Sinus endothelial cells and Kupffer cells still maintain the synthesis of coagulation factor VIII when the synthesis function of hepatocytes declines;Decreased liver clearance function,endotoxinAnd immune factors stimulate its synthesis and release.Van Willebrand factor (vWF) is mainly synthesized outside the liver. Patients with liver cirrhosis may be due toEndotoxemia,vascular endothelial cellAbnormal function increases its release;The vWF decomposition protease reduced its decomposition and also increased its plasma level.In most casesViral hepatitisThe activity of coagulation factor Ⅷ and vWF in patients were significantly increased.But liver disease is complicatedDICHowever, due to the large consumption of coagulation factors, the activity level of coagulation factor Ⅷ is reduced, so China takes the activity of coagulation factor Ⅷ less than 50% of normal as one of the necessary conditions for the diagnosis of liver disease with DIC.
There areendogenousandExogenousTwo activation systems.The former refers tocardiovascularDamaged intima or blood flowing out of the body through contact with abnormal surfaceActivation factorⅫ(Hageman factor)。The latter is due totissue damage Release factor III, thus activating factor VII.Both can initiate a series of chain reactions and converge at factor X, eventually leading toprothrombinActivation and fibrin formation.
The activation pathway of the whole thrombin is shown in Figure 2.When blood and negatively chargedcollagen protein(outer wall of skin blood vessel) or allogeneic surface (such askaolin, glass, etc.)Zymogen activationThe latter not only activates factor XI, but also relaxes the plasmabradykininRelease enzyme activation.ActivatedKallikreinAt high molecular weightKininogenUnder the promotion ofProteolytic enzyme), make factor XII f.This is YizhengFeedback effectEither XII a or XII f have the same vitality.The activated XIa then activated factor Ⅸ in the presence of Ca2+.Factor XII is composed of 596Amino acid residueFactor XI is composed of two subunits, each of which contains 607 amino acid residues, and its structure is similar to that of plasma kallikrein.
Factor Ⅸ is composed of 416 amino acid residues. When activated, it releases a peptide segment, formingDisulfide bondTwo linksPeptide chain。AndphospholipidThe binding position islight chain, while enzyme catalysisActive siteThenheavy chain。The activated factor Ⅸ a forms a complex with factor Ⅷ in the presence of Ca2+and phospholipids, which activates factor X to factor Xa.In normalPhysiological conditionsLecithin consists ofplateletYes, factor Ⅸ a starts in this reactionEnzyme catalysisFactor Ⅷ only plays a regulatory role, because it can also combine with factor X, thus increasing the local substrate concentration.In fact, factor Ⅸ a alone can also activate factor X, but with the participation of factor VIIIreaction rate It can be increased thousands of times.Factor VIII also needs the activation of factor Xa and thrombin to become factor VIII ', which is also a positive feedback effect.Factor VIII is a molecular weight of more than one millionglycoprotein, dissociated into subunits with molecular weight of about 200000 at high salt concentration.If the body is due toGenetic defect, Factor VIII is deficient or inactive, which is clinically congenitalhemophilia。Therefore, factor VIII is also calledAntihemophilic factor。
Factor X is composed of 448 amino acid residues. When activated, it releases a peptide segment to form two peptide chains linked by disulfide bonds.It is similar to factor Ⅸ, phospholipid and factor VJunction sitestaylight chainThe catalytic active site of the enzyme isheavy chain。
The activated factor X forms a complex with Ca2+, phospholipid and factor V, and the latter eventually makesprothrombinActivated as thrombin.The nature of factor V is similar to that of factor VIII, which is not enzymaticCatalysisIt accelerates the activation of prothrombin. When factor V and phospholipid exist simultaneously, the activation process can be accelerated 20000 times.Similarly, factor V can also be activated into V 'by thrombin, becoming anotherPositive feedback effect。Factor V is also a glycoprotein with a large molecular weight, which is composed of subunits with a molecular weight of about 300000. It is extremely unstable in the body and easy to beProtein C(also a kind ofSerine protease)Therefore, it is called instability factor.
Prothrombin (i.e. factor II) consists of 581amino acidWhen activated by factor Xa complex-Thr(Su 275) and Arg (Jing 322) - Ile (Yi Liang 323) are hydrolyzed, and a peptide segment (residue 1~274) with a molecular weight of about 30000 is released from the N-terminal, forming a thrombin connected by two peptide chains through disulfide bonds.Activated thrombin can catalyze degradationprothrombinThe peptide bond at the residue Arg (156) - Ser (157) is hydrolyzed to release peptide A and form new prothrombin S, which is not easy to be activated by Xa.Some people think that segment A combines with factor Xa through Ca2+and phospholipids. If this peptide segment is hydrolyzed and removed, new prothrombin S will lose the ability to combine with factor Xa, even if it still contains a coverable factorΧA The reaction of peptide bond specifically hydrolyzed is also very difficult.This is an important negative feedback regulation mechanism in the process of prothrombin activation, which avoids thrombus caused by excessive thrombin in the body.
The peptide released from the N-terminal when prothrombin is activated can be roughly divided into two regions, namely, A peptide (residues 1~156) and S-peptide (residues 157~274).The two peptides are very similar in amino acid composition, especially in the position of disulfide bond. Among them, 31 amino acid residues are identical and seem to be independent units in configuration, which is called "ring cake" structure.It is generally believed that these twoAnnular structureIt can combine with factor Xa respectively, so it can be simultaneously hydrolyzed at two peptide bonds (residues 274-275322-323) to activate thrombin.If only the peptide bond at residue 274 is hydrolyzed by factor Xaprothrombin-T can no longer be activated asthrombin。
Exogenous activation system
Coagulation factor
in vivotissue damage Factor III, also known astissue factor。In the presence of Ca2+, it can form a complex with the activated factor Ⅶ in the blood, which can activate factor Ⅹ. Since then, it has the same reaction steps as the endogenous activation pathway.adoptExogenousSexual pathwayBlood coagulationIt can be completed in more than 10 seconds, while it takes several minutes to go through the endogenous pathway.Factor III is a membrane glycoprotein, composed of 263 amino acid residues, and exists invascular endothelial cellIt is distributed in various tissues of the body and is more abundant in the lung, brain and placenta.Ifcell membraneIt is released when it is lost.Factor III is similar to factors VIII and VRegulatory factorThe difference is that because it exists on the membrane, it does not need the phospholipids of platelets to participate.The mechanism of factor Ⅶ activating factor X is similar to that of factor IX.Each coagulation factor XII, XI, IX, X, VII, thrombin andCoagulation systemRelatedKallikreinAnd protein C belong to serine proteasessequence of amino acidBoth withTrypsinThey are very similar, but they are all glycoproteins.
Factor Ⅶ is composed of 406 amino acid residues, which do not release peptide segments when activated, and its structure is very similar to factors Ⅸ and Ⅹ.
Coagulation factors andvitamin KstayprothrombinThere is a special amino acid in the peptide segment near the N-terminal, namelyγ-Carboxyglutamic acid。Because in the sameglutamateSide chainContains twocarboxyl, and Ca2+AffinityEspecially strong.In this way, prothrombin can combine with phospholipid through Ca2+, which is necessary for factor X to activate prothrombin.If animals givevitamin KAntagonists such as dihydroxycoumarin, the originalγ-The carboxyl glutamic acid residue is replaced by normal glutamic acid, and the coagulation function is also damaged, so it is believed that vitamin K is used as aγCarboxylasecoenzymeIn total, there are 10 prothrombin moleculesγ-Carboxyglutamic acid, which is concentrated on the peptide segment of 32 amino acid residues at the N-terminal (Figure 3).It is easy to understand that once peptide A is degraded by thrombin itself and removed, the new thrombin S left behind is difficult to be activated by factor Xa again.exceptprothrombinOther coagulation factors related to vitamin K include factors Ⅸ, Ⅹ and Ⅶ, as well as factors Ⅴ and ⅧInactivationProtein C.They all have a similar sequence near the N-terminal peptide segment,γ-The position of carboxyl glutamic acid also remains unchanged, and two chains are formed after activation. The light chain is the N-terminal part, which containsγ-Carboxyglutamic acid, which can combine with Ca2+and phospholipid.The heavy chain is the C-terminal part, which contains the catalytic center of the enzyme.

fromFibrinogenChange tofibrinIt can be roughly divided into three stages:
Formation of fibrin monomer
Coagulation factor
Fibrinogen(Factor I)A molecular weight of about 340000glycoprotein, is made up of two identicalSubunitEach subunit contains threePeptide chain, i.eα、β、γChain, passing each otherDisulfide bondInterconnection.These three peptide chains contain 610, 461 and 410 respectivelyAmino acid residue。Two subunits in the peptide chainN-endThe symmetrical two subunits are connected by three disulfide bonds nearby (Fig. 4).Therefore, the whole fibrinogen molecule can be used (Aα,Bβ,γ)2, A and B respectively representα、βThe peptide segment released by hydrolysis of the N-terminal of the peptide chain is used to form fibrin(α、β、γ)2.In fibrin molecules, the disulfide bond positions are quite concentrated, and there is a so-called "disulfide bond" structure, whose position is also close to the N-end of the peptide chain (Figure 4).βAndγPeptideamino acidThe order is very similar, especially closeC-endAround 1/3 of them are the same.According toFibrinogenOfPhysical and chemical propertiesThe model in Figure 5 is proposed, and the connecting part between spheres is the spiral area, which is composed of three peptide chains to form a rope likeHelical structure。The size and shape of the C-terminal sphere of the peptide chain are similarPlasma albumin, the structure is relatively tight, and a looseαC-terminal peptide of chain, easy to beFibrinolytic enzymeOr othersproteaseDegraded.
When thrombin acts on fibrinogenαA 16 peptide peptide A is released from the N end of the chain, and after a lag periodβThe N end of the chain starts to accelerate the release of a 14 peptide peptide B, and the rest is the monomer of fibrin.The hydrolysis sites of fibrinogen A and B peptides of different species are all in Arg -Gly(Gan)Peptide bondOn.Peptide A, Bamino acid compositionIt may vary greatly due to different species, but there are 2~6negative charge, and contains some special amino acids, such as the band in peptide Aphosphoric acidBasalserine, peptide B contains bandssulphuric acidBasalTyrosine。Because peptide segments A and B have net negative chargesFibrinogenMolecules cannot polymerize due to electrostatic repulsion before being degraded by thrombin.
Polymerization of fibrin monomer
In the polymerization process of fibrin monomerMesopeptideThe release of segment A plays a major role, first the first is the end to end polymerization, while the release of peptide B can accelerate the polymerization and start the lateral polymerization.Due to the release of A and B peptide segments, the fibrin monomer exposes two complementary regions embedded in each subunit, so that the monomer canNoncovalent bondHead tail or lateral polymerization, as the degree of lateral polymerization deepens,clotIt looks viscous, turning from transparentOpaque。
Cross-linking of fibrin
Coagulation factor
Activated thrombin degradationFibrinogenIn addition to releasing peptide segments A and B, factor XIII is rapidly activated in the presence of Ca2+, which enables polymerized fibrin to form between adjacent peptide chainsBridge keyAnd become stable and cross-linked fibrinPOLYMER, even at 5MureaThe gel before crosslinking can be dissolved under this condition.Factor XIII isTransglutaminase, which makes the peptide chainLysineResidueOnεaminoAndglutamineResidualγamideThe ligands form new peptide bonds.Each fibrin monomer can form up to 6CovalentIf there are 2-3 bridge bonds in each molecule, a very stable cross-linked fibrin can be formed.
Long term evolutionFibrinogenBe idealHemostatic agentFor example, before activation, molecules cannot polymerize due to electrostatic repulsionSol;Peptides A and B at the N end of the peptide chain are easy to be removed by thrombin hydrolysisElectrostatic effectDisappearance and rapid formation of gel;A bridge bond can be formed near the end of peptide chain C to form a stable gel with enoughmechanical strength;High molecular weight,HydrophilicityStrong and presentSymmetry, conforming to gel characteristics;The molecule contains a section of rope like helical structure, which is easy to be degraded by protease, and will not form thrombus in the body;Fibrin gelatinousDegradation productIt can inhibit the activity of thrombin and also prevent the polymerization of fibrin monomer, thusSelf regulationOfFeedback。
In the coagulation system, in addition to the positive and negative feedback and self regulation among various factors, the coagulation factors belonging to protease are also affected by the correspondingProtease inhibitorConstraints, such as those in plasmaAntithrombin III(ATⅢ, antihro mbi Ⅲ), in addition to specifically inhibiting thrombin, it can also inhibit factors Xa, Ⅸ a, and Ⅶ a, especially Xa.heparinCan greatly accelerate AT - ⅢinhibitionTherefore, it is used clinically as an importantAnticoagulant。In addition to AT - Ⅲ, there are other protease inhibitors in the plasma, such asα1 Anti proteaseAntifibrinolytic enzymeandα2 MegaglobulinThey also have a certain degree of inhibition on each protease in coagulation factors.
