    Abstract Multiple factors play a pathophysiologic role for the venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a multi-factorial disease. Inflammation might play a peculiar role in shifting towards a pro-thrombotic state. Anticoagulant drugs are the first cure line for VTE. The low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) show anti-coagulant capability as well as reducing levels of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6. The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have shown efficacy in threating VTE, additionally to the anti-activated factor X these drugs seem able to reduce the abnormal release of pro-inflammatory agents. The present study evaluated the capability of DOACs in reducing plasma level of IL-6 in patients suffered from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs. Our results showed reduced IL-6 expression levels in the peripheral lymphocytes of DVT compared to controls (fold-change, 2.8; P<0.05). We postulate that lowered IL-6 expression in the lymphocytes of DVT patients may mediate the anti-inflammatory action of DOACs. The present study is the first evidence concerning the anti-inflammatory properties of DOACs in specific setting of VTE patients such as DVT.

    Abstract Statins (S) are widely used drugs for cardiovascular prevention however their utilization may cause a various grade of muscle toxicity. Sometime S discontinuation alone is not sufficient to revert muscle injury and this can evolve in serious inflammatory muscle disease. In this case immunosuppressive medications are required to achieve remission. This case report describes a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis after recent S treatment initiation and the diagnostic work up have lead to the diagnosis of necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM). We believe that the clinical case described here is a useful report of this rare toxicity and we aim to highlight the importance of its prompt recognition and treatment.
