    Title translation Clinically asymptomatic antiphospholipid antibodies--diagnostic and therapeutic problems.
    Abstract The presence of asymptomatic antiphospholipid antibodies (aAPA) creates many difficult diagnostic and clinical problems - they might be a cause either of incorrect hemorrhagic diathesis recognition or an unnecessary anticoagulant therapy. Patients with aAPA should be counseled individually regarding potential thrombotic and/or obstetric complications. An increased risk of these complications is particularly high when lupus anticoagulant (LAC) and IgG anti-beta2 glycoprotein antibodies coexist. The approaches to the diagnosis and management of treatment of patients with aAPA are also discussed.

    Abstract Advancements in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) turned this formerly fatal neoplasm into a manageable chronic condition. Therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) often leads to significant reduction of disease burden, known as the deep molecular response (DMR). Herein, we decided to analyze the cohort of CML patients treated in our center with TKIs, who obtain and retain DMR for a period longer than 24 months. The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of clonal cytogenetic aberrations in Philadelphia-negative (Ph-) cells in patients with DMR during TKI treatment. The analyzed data was obtained during routine molecular and cytogenetic treatment monitoring, using G-banded trypsin and Giemsa stain (GTG) karyotyping and reverse transcription quantitative PCR. We noticed that approximately 50% of patients (28 of 55) in DMR had, at some follow-up point, transient changes in the karyotype of their Ph- bone marrow cells. In 9.1% of cases (5 of 55), the presence of the same aberrations was observed at different time points. The most frequently appearing aberrations were monosomies of chromosomes 19, 20, 21, and Y. Statistical analysis suggests that the occurrence of such abnormalities in CML patients correlates with the TKI treatment time.

    Title translation Recurrent multi-focal cerebral stroke complicating Libman-Sacks endocarditis in a young woman with systemic lupus erythromatosus.
    Abstract Systemic lupus erythromatosus is often associated with an antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). A high prevalence of valvular heart disease in APS leads to increased risk of embolic events, particularly cerebrovascular. We present a patient with cerebral infarction, with positive lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies and factor V Leiden mutation. Echocardiographic examination revealed mitral valve anterior leaflet thickening and verrucous vegetations consistent with Libman-Sacks endocarditis, which is commonly associated with APS.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients with Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph(-) MPNs) are at increased risk of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between JAK2 V617F mutational status, JAK2 V617F allele burden and the risk of vascular complications occurrence.
    Materials and methods: Analysis was performed in a cohort of 186 patients diagnosed with polycythemia vera (53), essential thrombocythemia (114), primary myelofibrosis (11), and unclassified MPN (8). The risk of vascular complications development was analyzed in 126 JAK2 V617F-positive patients with respect to allele burden assessed with allele-specific 'real-time' quantitative polymerase chain reaction (AS RQ-PCR).
    Results: Overall prevalence of any vascular complications was 44.6%. Arterial thrombosis occurred in 20.4%, venous thromboembolism (VTE) in 11.3%, bleeding episodes in 24.7% of patients. Individuals harboring JAK2 V617F mutation, regardless of MPN type, were at higher risk of VTE (OR=5.15, 95%CI: 1.16-22.90, P=0.024), mainly deep vein thrombosis (DVT). JAK2 allele burden higher than 20% identified patients with 7.4-fold increased risk of VTE (95%CI: 1.6-33.7, P=0.004), but not of arterial thrombosis, neither of bleeding complications, and remained the only significant VTE risk factor in multivariate logistic regression. High allele burdens (over 50%) were strikingly associated with proximal DVT cases, but not with distal DVT.
    Conclusions: The group of MPN patients with JAK2 V617F allele burden higher than 20% may benefit the most from vigilant monitoring and appropriate prophylaxis against vascular events. Inclusion of JAK2 V617F mutant allele burden in new risk stratifications seems to be justified and requires controlled prospective trials.

    Abstract We tested the hypothesis that fibrin structure/function is unfavorably altered in patients after idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE) and their relatives. Ex vivo plasma fibrin clot permeability, turbidimetry, and efficiency of fibrinolysis were investigated in 100 patients with first-ever VTE, including 34 with pulmonary embolism (PE), 100 first-degree relatives, and 100 asymptomatic controls with no history of thrombotic events. Known thrombophilia, cancer, trauma, and surgery were exclusion criteria. VTE patients and their relatives were characterized by lower clot permeability (P < .001), lower compaction (P < .001), higher maximum clot absorbancy (P < .001), and prolonged clot lysis time (P < .001) than controls, with more pronounced abnormalities, except maximum clot absorbance, in the patients versus relatives (all P < .01). Fibrin clots obtained for PE patients were more permeable, less compact, and were lysed more efficiently compared with deep-vein thrombosis patients (all P < .05) with no differences in their relatives. Being VTE relative, fibrinogen, and C-reactive protein were independent predictors of clot permeability and fibrinolysis time in combined analysis of controls and relatives. We conclude that altered fibrin clot features are associated with idiopathic VTE with a different profile of fibrin variables in PE. Similar features can be detected in VTE relatives. Fibrin properties might represent novel risk factors for thrombosis.
