Low Molecular Weight Heparin Nebulization Attenuates Acute Lung Injury

Low Molecular Weight Heparin Nebulization Attenuates Acute Lung Injury

BACKGROUND As acute lung injury (ALI) caused high mortality rate, it is important to explore the protection and treatment of ALI. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) nebulization on attenuating acute lung injury and the associated mechanism. METHODS The arterial blood gas, total protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung wet...

Low molecular weight heparin prevents CLP-induced acute lung injury in rats by anti-inflammatory coagulation.

The aim of our study was to observe the influence of low molecular Weight heparin (LMWH) on systemic inflammation, including high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and protective effect on acute lung injury induced by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP). Discuss the mechanism of this effect. 144 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (A), normal treatment group (B), the LM...

Low Molecular Weight Heparin Overdose: A 10 Year Case Series

  Background: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is used for the treatment and prevention of coagulative disorders. Few patients receiving therapeutic doses of LMWH develop major hemorrhage. Currently there are few reports in the literature on acute overdose on adults.  In this study, clinical profile, treatment and outcome of 21 patients who acutely overdosed enoxaparin are described. Method...

Low molecular weight heparin.

Heparin and low-molecular-weight heparin.

Heparin is one of the oldest biological medicines, and has an established place in the prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis. Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) have been developed by several manufacturers and have advantages in terms of pharmacokinetics and convenience of administration. They have been shown to be at least as effective and safe as unfractionated heparin and have repl...
