Abstract

Protein S (PS) is Vitamin K dependant protein which plays a role in regulating the blood clotting process in the body. Protein S deficiency is explained as a condition characterized by reduced levels of protein S in the serum so that it makes the blood clot too easily. The purpose of this literature review is to give an update of protein S defficiency and the mechanism of protein s in hemostasis and atherosclerosis based on publish literature reference from various database. Protein S plays important role in hemostasis by regulating blood cloth process in the initiation phase of the extrinsic pathway as a TFPI cofactor or in the propagation phase, namely as an APC cofactor and independent activity of TFPIα and APC. Protein S deficiency is known to be associated with the occurrence of atherosclerosis via the Tyro3-Axl-Mer (TAM) receptor. The main clinical manifestations of the majority of patients with heterozygous mutations in the protein S (PROS1) gene are deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism that precipitate by VTE. Administration of anticoagulant drugs such as heparin in the form of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin, vitamin K antagonists (VKA), namely warfarin, or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be selected as a management of protein S deficiency with VTE. Protein S has a central role in the coagulation prosses and its deficiency associated with atherosclerotic conditions.

Abstract

Neutrophils, also known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, play a significant role in fueling systemic inflammation and tissue damage within the context of frailty, a clinical syndrome associated with increased susceptibility to stressors and decreased functional performance typically linked to aging. This literature review delves into the interplay between neutrophils and frailty, shedding light on their contribution to age-related systemic inflammation. The investigation explored the correlation between heightened neutrophil levels, diminished physical activity, increased frailty, and elevated white blood cell counts. These findings underscore the substantial role of neutrophils in the development of frailty, necessitating further research to enhance comprehension of their involvement for more effective prevention and intervention strategies. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of tailored exercise regimens, promoting optimal nutrition practices, efficiently managing chronic inflammation, and improving the control of chronic diseases as essential approaches to address frailty among older individuals.
