Histidine-rich glycoprotein attenuates catheter thrombosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Factor XII (FXII) knockdown attenuates catheter thrombosis in rabbits. Because histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) modulates FXIIa activity, we hypothesized that HRG depletion would promote catheter thrombosis. To test this, rabbits were given either antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) against HRG or FXII, a control ASO, or saline. The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and catheter-induced thrombin generation were determined in blood collected before and after treatment. Compared with the controls, the HRG- and FXII-directed ASOs reduced hepatic messenger RNA and plasma levels of HRG and FXII, respectively, by >90%. Although HRG knockdown shortened the aPTT by 2.5 fold, FXII knockdown prolonged it by fourfold; neither of the ASOs affected the PT. Catheter segments shortened the lag time and increased peak thrombin in the plasma from control rabbits; effects were significantly enhanced and attenuated in the plasma from rabbits given the HRG- and FXII-directed ASOs, respectively. Catheters were then inserted into the right external jugular vein of the rabbits, and the time for catheter occlusion was determined. The catheter occlusion times with the control ASO or saline were 62 ± 8 minutes and 60 ± 11 minutes, respectively. The occlusion time was significantly reduced to 34 ± 9 minutes, with HRG knockdown and significantly prolonged to 128 ± 19 minutes with FXII knockdown. HRG levels are decreased with sepsis or cancer, and such patients are prone to catheter thrombosis. Because HRG modulates catheter thrombosis, our findings suggest that HRG supplementation may prevent this problem.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
