    Abstract Purpose: As of July 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected over 555 million worldwide confirmed cases and caused more than 6.3 million deaths. The studies showed that the D-dimer levels were increased in non-survivors compared to survivors and heparin treatment has begun to be administered to the patients in severe clinics. As we knew that the entrance of SARS-CoV-2 to the host cell needs to be facilitated by host proteases; we published our hypothesis that heparin as a serine protease inhibitor may block the interaction between spike protein receptor-binding domain and host proteases. In our study, we aimed to investigate the interactions between not only heparins but also other antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs including fondaparinux.
    Methods: In this study, docking studies were carried out to evaluate the interactions between low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) (enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin), direct oral anticoagulant, and antiplatelet drugs with host proteases. Molecular docking studies were performed by using Schrödinger molecular modeling software. 3D structures of the ligands were obtained from the 2D structures by assigning the OPLS-2005 force field using the Maestro 12.7. The 3D crystal structure of the furin complexed with an inhibitor, 2,5-dideoksistreptamin derivative, was extracted from the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 5MIM). Docking studies were carried out using the Grid-based Ligand Docking with Energetics module of the Schrödinger Software.
    Results: The docking studies revealed that fondaparinux was the most relevant molecule to interact with furin with a docking score of - 12.74. It showed better interaction than the natural ligand of furin with an increased score compared to the docking score of - 8.155 of the natural ligand. AnaGA*IsA structure representing LMWH structure has shown a docking score of - 11.562 which was also better than the score of the natural ligand of furin.
    Conclusion: Our findings have shown that LMWHs and fondaparinux can be used for their possible antiviral effects in COVID-19 patients. Our results have shown that in accordance with heparin and LMWH, fondaparinux can also be a candidate for "drug repurposing" in COVID-19 therapy, not only because of their anticoagulant but also possible antiviral effects.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Pediatric intraabdominal pancreatic teratomas have been rarely reported. This is the first case of severe hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in a 6-month-old infant secondary to an intraabdominal teratoma. The hypoglycemia resolved after surgical removal. CASE REPORT A 6-month-old infant was seen in a pediatric emergency department with complaints of lethargy and abnormal eye movements. She was diagnosed with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and started on diazoxide. A CT and MRI of the abdomen revealed a 165×77×72 mm cyst with a 51×45×30 mm solid structure connecting to the wall of the cyst by a stalk, raising suspicion of a fetus in fetu. The mass had no connection to her pancreas. Following total excision of the intraabdominal mass, her hypoglycemia resolved. Histopathological examination showed immature fetal pancreatic tissue consistent with a mature teratoma. Whole exon sequencing of the infant's peripheral blood showed a negative mutation of ABCC8 and presence of heterozygous variations of HNF1ß and IRS1 genes. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case report of an infant with severe hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia secondary to a pancreatic teratoma. The heterozygous variations of HNF1ß and IRS1 genes likely played a role in the embryogenesis, causing a pancreatic teratoma and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

    Abstract Tüm dünyayı ve ülkemizi etkisi altına alan COVID-19 hastalığının patogenezinde koagülasyon sisteminin aktive olmasının önemli rolü olduğu, dissemine intravasküler koagülasyonun (DİK) laboratuvar bulgularından D-dimer değeri yüksek olan olgulara erken dönemde düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparin (DMAH) başlanması durumunda mortalitenin azaldığı bilinmektedir. COVID-19 enfeksiyonundaki ana mekanizmalardan birinin sepsis ilişkili DİK’ten farklı organa özgü ‘Pulmoner İntravasküler Koagülasyon-PİK’ olduğunu düşünmekteyiz. Patogenetik mekanizmaları açıkladığımız derlememizde PİK erken dönemlerinde profilaktik dozda DMAH, D-dimer artışı devam etmesi durumunda tedavi dozunda DMAH, respiratuar yetmezlik gelişmesi durumunda kanama riski göz önünde bulundurularak doku plazminojen aktivatörü (tPA) ve defibrotid tedavilerinin kullanımı konusunda tedavi önerileri yer almaktadır. Bu tedavilerin COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun hangi aşamalarında kullanılmasının uygun olacağının netleştirilmesi için klinik araştırmalara gerek duyulmaktadır.

    It has been recently shown that the activation of the coagulation system takes an important part in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. It has come into insight that the mortality rate is lower in patients who were administered low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) during the course of COVID-19 when compared with those who were treated without LMWH. However, we observe that the coagulopathy accompanying COVID-19 seems to be different from sepsis associated disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), therefore we think that organ specific coagulopathy should be better named ‘Pulmonary Intravascular CoagulationPIC’. Here we provide possible pathogenetic mechanisms underlying COVID-19 including PIC and give treatment recommendations as administration of prophylactic LMWH at patients with increased D-dimer levels at early phase, escalation to treatment dose of LMWH in case of increasing D-dimers and usage of tPA or defibrotide with evaluation of bleeding risk in patients with respiratory insufficiency. However, in what point of COVID-19 disease shall those anticoagulant/antitrombotic-thrombolytic agents used must be evaluated with further studies.

    Abstract Objective: Castleman disease (CD) is a rare disease also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. The two main histological subtypes are the hyaline vascular and plasma cell variants. It is further classified as unicentric CD (UCD) or multicentric CD (MCD) according to the anatomical distribution of the disease and the number of lymph nodes involved. The aim of this multicenter study was to evaluate all cases of CD identified to date in Turkey to set up a national registry to improve the early recognition, treatment, and follow-up of CD.
    Materials and methods: Both adult (n=130) and pediatric (n=10) patients with lymph node or involved field biopsy results reported as CD were included in the study. Patients’ demographic information, clinical and laboratory characteristics, imaging study results, treatment strategies, and clinical outcomes were evaluated retrospectively.
    Results: A total of 140 patients (69 male and 71 female) with a diagnosis of UCD (n=73) or MCD (n=67) were included. The mean age was 39 years in the UCD group and 47 years in the MCD group. Female patients were more common in the UCD group. The most common histological subtype was hyaline vascular for both UCD and MCD patients. Asymptomatic patients were more common in the UCD group. Anemia, elevations of acute phase reactants, and hypoalbuminemia were more common in the MCD group. The most commonly used treatment strategies for UCD were surgical excision, rituximab, and radiotherapy, respectively. All UCD patients were alive at a median of 19.5 months of follow-up. The most commonly used treatment strategies for MCD were methyl prednisolone, R-CHOP, R-CVP, and rituximab. Thirteen MCD patients had died at a median of 34 months of follow-up.
    Conclusion: This study is important in presenting the patient characteristics and treatment strategies for CD from Turkey, with the potential of increasing awareness about CD. Treatment data may help in making decisions, particularly in countries that do not have access to siltuximab. However, larger prospective studies are needed to make definitive conclusions.

    Abstract Introduction: Inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency (FVIID) is the most common of inherited rare bleeding disorders. Other determinants of clinical severity apart from FVII level (FVIIL) include genetic and environmental factors. We aimed to identify the cut-off FVIILs for general and severe bleedings in patients with FVIID by using an online national registry system including clinical, laboratory, and demographic characteristics of patients.
    Methods: Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients with FVIID extracted from the national database, constituted by the Turkish Society of Hematology, were examined. Bleeding phenotypes, general characteristics, and laboratory features were assessed in terms of FVIILs. Bleeding rates and prophylaxis during special procedures/interventions were also recorded.
    Results: Data from 197 patients showed that 46.2% of patients had FVIIL< 10%. Most bleeds were of mucosal origin (67.7%), and severe bleeds tended to occur in younger patients (median age: 15 (IQR:6-29)). Cut-off FVIILs for all and severe bleeds were 16.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The major reason for long-term prophylaxis was observed as central nervous system bleeding (80%).
    Conclusion: Our data are consistent with most of the published literature in terms of cut-off FVIIL for bleeding, as well as reasons for prophylaxis, showing both an increased severity of bleeding and younger age at diagnosis with decreasing FVIIL. However, in order to offer a classification similar to that in Hemophilia A or B, data of a larger cohort with information about environmental and genetic factors are required.
