Physiological activation of plasminogen in full term newborn infants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasminogen in full term newborn infants has been measured by functional and immunological assays. Plasminogen functional activity and antigen concentration in newborn infants were about 44% and 48% of adult values respectively. Physiological activation kinetics of plasminogen in undiluted plasma at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C using various concentrations of streptokinase and urokinase showed no significant difference in the rate of plasmin generation between plasminogen from newborn infants and adult plasminogen. These findings dispute the suggested existence of functional anomalies in plasminogen from full term newborn infants.

Introduction: The fetus needs a considerable amount of cholesterol for the development of tissues and organs. Studies have suggested that genetic and environmental factors influence the composition of cord blood lipoproteins. In this study, we aim to assess the effect of gestational age, sex and birth weight on the cord blood lipoproteins. Methods: We collected umbilical cord blood samples fr...

Background & Aims : About 60% of term infants and 80% of preterm infants are affected by jaundice in the neonatal period which 5-10 % of them require phototherapy. Phototherapy causes the separation of mother and infant, interfering with breastfeeding and there are also some concerns regarding to destruction of the genetic materials. Methods which might reduce the rate of photo would be use...

Background: Human plasminogen is a plasma glycoprotein synthesized mainly in the liver. Conversion of plasminogen to plasmin by plasminogen activators is a key event in the fibrinolytic system. In this study, we investigated the effects of two anti-human plasminogen monoclonal antibodies, A1D12 and MC2B8 on Glu-plasminogen activation in presence of u-PA, t-PA and streptokinase. Methods: Produci...
