Effect of urokinase on fibrinolysis and fibrinogenolysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thrombolytic (fibrinolytic) effect of the urinary plasminogen activator, urokinase (UK), was compared with its fibrinogenolytic effect, using an artificial circulating system, and in in vivo pulmonary embolus and femoral vein thrombosis models. The thrombus lysing efficiency (fibrinolysis/fibrinogenolysis) was, in all cases, below 1.00, indicating that fibrinogenolysis is a primary function of UK while fibrinolysis is a secondary one.

Fibrinolytic States in a Patient With Congenital Deficiency of a2-Plasmin Inhibitor
The fibrinolytic system of a patient with congenital deficiency of a2-proteinase (plasmin) inhibitor (a2Pl) was studied. The patient’s whole blood clot formed in vitro was lysed rapidly in several hours on incubation. This accelerated in vitro fibrinolysis was suppressed by an addition of purified a2Pl. The degree of suppression was proportional to the amount of a2PI added. In spite of the acce...

متن کاملIntracoronary Urokinase in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
Coronary recanalization rates and changes in the coagulation and fibrinolysis system were evaluated in a randomized fashion in patients with acute myocardial infarction after intracoronary administration of single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (pro-urokinase: GE-0943) or urokinase. Three groups of patients were studied: group H (n=50), 6,000 units pro-urokinase i.c.; group L (n=44)...
متن کاملThe resistance of fibrinogen and soluble fibrin monomer in blood to degradation by a potent plasminogen activator derived from cadaver limbs.
The effect of a cadaver-derived vascular plasminogen activator (VA) on the degradation of fibrinogen, soluble fibrin monomer, and fibrin was studied and compared with the effect of equivalent fibrinolytic potencies of streptokinase (SK), urokinase (UK), and plasmin. The proteolytic activity of the three activators and plasmin was determined by a standard fibrin plate assay and was expressed in ...
متن کاملPro-urokinase: a study of its stability in plasma and of a mechanism for its selective fibrinolytic effect.
Highly purified pro-urokinase (pro-UK) or single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) was treated with diisopropylfluorophosphate (1 mmol/L) to eliminate traces of two-chain UK activity. This preparation was found to retain a low activity against a chromogenic substrate (S2444), equivalent to 0.1% to 0.5% of the activity of its plasmin-activated derivative. Evidence is presented ...
