We studied the effects of rat stroma-free hemoglobin (rSFH), human stroma-free hemoglobin (hSFH), rat polyhemoglobin (rPoly), and human polyhemoglobin (hPoly) on coagulation factors in rats. Albumin and saline infused rats were controls. The infusion volume was 10% of the rat's blood volume. The concentrations of hemoglobin in this study were 7 g/dl. Measurements for prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT) were at 5 minutes, 2, 6, 24 and 72 hours after infusion. Factor X, fibrinogen, plasminogen, antithrombin III, and antiplasmin were followed at 24 and 72 hours after infusion. Compared with saline infused rats PT and PTT did not change significantly in those rats infused with Hb preparations. There was a transient increase of PTT from 2 to 24 hours after infusion in albumin infused rats. Factor X, fibrinogen, antithrombin III and antiplasmin showed no significant differences between Hb infused groups and saline infused group. Twenty-four hours and 72 hours after infusion plasminogen decreased in all groups except the albumin infused rats at 24 hours after infusion when compared with normal rat plasma pool. However, there were no significant differences in plasminogen levels between the hemoglobin infused groups and the control saline group. Stroma-free and polyHb solutions (rSFH, hSFH, rPoly and hPoly) did not cause significant changes in prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time in rats. The rats infused with hemoglobin solutions (rSFH, hSFH, rPoly, and hPoly) did not show significant differences in Factor X, fibrinogen, antithrombin III and antiplasmin levels compared with the control group.

Symptoms of postresection syndromes following transurethral prostatectomy have been associated with a transient increase in serum acid phosphatase due to intraoperative absorption of prostate tissue substances. Factors associated with postoperative syndromes include intraoperative absorption of irrigant solution, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative absorption of prostate tissue substance. An animal model was used in this study to determine the isolated physiologic effects of intravenous infusion of a saline prostate tissue extract using an infusion schedule comparable to that of transurethral prostate resection. Twenty-four animals received either normal saline infusion (control) or saline prostate tissue extract infusion (experimental). The experimental group showed a significant decrease in fibrinogen, platelet count, white blood count, activated clotting time, and plasma volume. These results suggest that the isolated effects of intravascular absorption of prostate tissue substances are due to disseminated intravascular coagulation, most likely resulting from tissue thromboplastin and activation of plasminogen.

Thirty-five patients with malignant ascites who received a peritoneovenous shunt were studied to determine the type and duration of postoperative coagulopathy. Coagulation factors were measured before and on the first and third day after the placement of a Denver peritoneovenous shunt; 1 to 10 L of ascites was removed at operation. Levels of platelets, antithrombin III, plasminogen, antiplasmin, fibrinogen, and factors V and VIII decreased by the first postoperative day but did not change further through the third day. The levels of fibrinolytic split products increased on day 1 but were lower by day 3. The platelet count reduction by the third day correlated with the hematocrit change (-0.031). The prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times remained normal postoperatively. The patterns of change were similar for patients with positive (n = 18) and negative (n = 17) ascites cytologic findings, with elevated (n = 24) and normal (n = 11) preoperative fibrinolytic split product levels, and elevated bilirubin value (greater than 25 mumol/L; n = 9), and no jaundice (n = 26). Bleeding did not occur. The data indicated that plasminogen-rather than thromboplastin-activated fibrinolysis occurred and that platelet reduction was largely dilutional. The reactions were not progressive when ascites was removed operatively.

The purpose of this study was to determine hypercoagulability in patients surgically treated for thoracic esophageal cancer. Twenty-four patients were evaluated; 19 subjected to open chest esophagectomy and 5 closed chest blunt dissection. Six patients subjected to gastrectomy served as controls. In all test patients, preoperative coagulability was within the normal range. Immediately after surgery, however, they were in a hypercoagulable state, showing a marked decrease in platelet count, prothrombin time, antithrombin III level and plasminogen level and an increase in activated partial thromboplastin time and fibrinopeptide B beta 15-42. The controls showed almost no change. There was a close correlation between hypercoagulability on one hand and the time needed for surgery and hemorrhage during 3rd to 7th postoperative day except those with multiple organ failure whose recovery was delayed and those with leakage of anastomosis whose condition did not improve even on the 10th postoperative day.

Paeonia lactiflora with the action of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis had been shown to be able to inhibit thrombosis and platelet aggregation, increase fibrinolytic activity and promote thrombolysis. This paper described the influence of the extract of Paeonia lactiflora in vitro experiments on prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT), antithrombin effect, activity of plasminogen and urokinase. The experimental results showed that: (1) The extract of Paeonia lactiflora prolonged the time of PT and PTT. (2) The extract of drug was able significantly to inhibit the thrombin. (3) In study of fibrinolysis by fibrin standard plate experiments, the drug possessed activative effect on the plasminogen. (4) The activity of urokinase was reduced, while the extract of Paeonia lactiflora existed. The inhibitory effect on thrombin and effective effect on plasminogen of the drug might be an important mechanism of its action of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Changes in clotting time (CT) and fibrinolytic activity (FA) were evaluated in 6 mature, female horses during exercise. Two trials were performed on consecutive days, using a randomized crossover design. Each mare was assigned to either an exercise trial or a control trial on the first day, and to the alternate trial 24 hours later. Mares exercised for 20 minutes on a treadmill at an elevation of 2 degrees and a velocity of 5 m/s. Venous blood samples were collected immediately before exercise, at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 minutes during exercise, and 15 minutes after cessation of exercise. Blood was placed into plain glass tubes for determination of CT, and into chilled, citrated tubes for determination of FA, plasminogen/plasmin complex activity (PLG), one-stage prothrombin time (OSPT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and antithrombin-III (AT-III) activity. There were significant differences (P less than 0.05) between the control and exercise groups for CT, FA, and PLG. During exercise, clotting time decreased from 21.5 +/- 1.6 minutes to 9.9 +/- 1.6 minutes (mean +/- SD; P less than 0.05), without significant changes in OSPT, APTT, or AT-III. Fibrinolytic activity and PLG increased (P less than 0.05) during exercise. Changes in CT, FA, and PLG were significant at 4 minutes of exercise, remained altered until the end of exercise, and returned to baseline values by 15 minutes of recovery. Clotting time, OSPT, APTT, FA, AT-III, and PLG did not change (P greater than 0.05) during control trials.

To determine whether children treated with chronic peritoneal dialysis have a hypercoagulable state, various coagulation and fibrinolytic factor concentrations or activities were measured in 17 children undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis. The patients had significantly increased activities of factors VII and VIII, and increased concentrations of von Willebrand factor (vWF), fibrinogen, factor XIIIA and factor XIIIS compared to reference values (P less than 0.001 in each case). The activated partial thromboplastin time was prolonged (P less than 0.001) and the thrombin clotting time was decreased (P less than 0.05) in these children. The prothrombin time and activities of factors XII, XI, IX, X, V and II were not significantly different from control values. Protein C concentrations were similar to normal, but antithrombin III concentrations were increased (P less than 0.05). Within the fibrinolytic pathway, decreased concentrations of plasminogen were found (P less than 0.001) and the concentrations of alpha-2-antiplasmin were increased (P less than 0.001). The plasma albumin concentration was below 33 g/l in 13 of the 17 children. The duration of treatment with peritoneal dialysis was directly correlated with vWF concentrations (P less than 0.001) and inversely correlated with factor VII concentrations (P less than 0.01). Of these patients 2 have since had clinical thrombotic episodes. The coagulation abnormalities found may have a role in the occurrence of thrombosis complicating renal transplantation.

The in vitro interaction of rt-PA with the coagulation and fibrinolytic system was investigated. After addition of rt-PA to citrated plasma prolonged clotting times for prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time, decreased activities of individual clotting factors and decreases of alpha 2-antiplasmin, plasminogen and fibrinogen were measured. The alterations were dependent on incubation times and rt-PA concentrations and were mainly observed at rt-PA concentrations exceeding therapeutic levels. These in vitro phenomena could be prevented to different degrees using various inhibitors. Because of interferences with some fibrinolytic and coagulation assays aprotinin was only of limited utility as an inhibitor. PPACK lengthened clotting time assays based on generation of endogenous thrombin, but did not affect fibrinolytic assays. The most versatile inhibitor was a specific anti-rt-PA antibody which enabled correct measurements of all fibrinolytic and most coagulation assays. It is concluded that high rt-PA levels in samples taken from patients during fibrinolytic therapy induce in vitro artefacts which can be prevented by the use of suitable inhibitors. In 8 healthy male volunteers aged 32 +/- 7 years pharmacokinetic investigations were done. After infusion of 0.25 mg rt-PA/kg bw mean maximal plasma levels were 970 +/- 130 ng/ml. The elimination of rt-PA from plasma was fitted to a two compartment model and was characterized by two half lives of t1/2 alpha = 3.3 and t1/2 beta = 26 minutes.

Lupus-like anticoagulants (LLA), lupus anticoagulant and/or anticardiolipin antibody, are increasingly recognized in association with venous and arterial thrombotic events. We recently reviewed our experience with patients undergoing revascularization for lower-limb ischemia who were found to have LLA. Nine patients had LLA based on a prolongation of the partial thromboplastin time or by anticardiolipin assay by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system. The ages of the patients ranged from 23 to 57 years. There were seven (78%) men, six (67%) blacks, two (22%) diabetic patients, and three (33%) hypertensive patients. One patient had systemic lupus erythematosus. All patients except one were cigarette smokers. Four patients had concurrent regulatory protein abnormalities: three protein C deficiencies, one protein S deficiency, and one plasminogen deficiency. The nine patients had 10 lower-extremity arterial reconstructions with two postoperative failures within 30 days. Patients were anticoagulated with heparin or aspirin after all but one operation. Patients at risk were identified on the basis of age (less than 51 years), unexplained early graft thrombosis, or history of venous or arterial thrombotic events. This group of patients is believed to be at risk for early postoperative thrombosis. Postoperative anticoagulation after revascularization for patients with LLA may be beneficial.

The pathophysiology of bleeding manifestations in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) was elucidated by serially evaluating coagulation and fibrinolytic profiles and complement alterations in patients with HFRS. In the early stage of the disease, platelet counts, platelet survival time, and platelet aggregation in vitro decreased. Prolongation of bleeding time, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time was noted, with decreases in coagulation factors II, V, VIII, IX, and X. Levels of fibrinogen were decreased, and those of fibrinogen-fibrin degradation products in serum and urine were increased. Concentrations of plasminogen, alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor, and antithrombin III in plasma were depressed. Procoagulant activity was present in plasma. Circulating immune complexes were found, whereas serum levels of C3 were decreased. In the early stage of HFRS, thrombocytopenia, defects in platelet function, and disseminated intravascular coagulation may play central roles in the pathogenesis of bleeding manifestations. Vasculopathy and immunologic aberrations also may play a role.
