Study data were compared with historical untreated comparison group, including 13 patients with AE-IPF who were treated without rhTM before the registration. Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM) demonstrates anticoagulation effects superior to heparin for the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) [12] and improves the outcomes and respiratory functions in patients with sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [13] . The patients who met any of the following conditions were excluded: 1) those with previous history of AE-IPF; 2) who was receiving corticosteroids or immunosuppressants; 3) who was receiving anti-coagulant therapy; 4) who had intracranial hemorrhage, pulmonary hemorrhage and/or gastrointestinal hemorrhage; 5) those with previous history of hypersensitivity against thrombomodulin; 6) those with active infectious disease; and 7) who was or possibly pregnant at the time of registration. ./cache/cord-002294-qa8e90qv.txt ./txt/cord-002294-qa8e90qv.txt
