Introduction: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder with a multifactorial etiology. Recent studies have shown that there are increased levels of fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) in the plasma of OSMF patients suggesting its possible role in etiopathogenesis. Purpose: To assess the FDP levels in the plasma of OSMF patients in betel nut chewers and in healthy par...

Fibrin degradation products (FDP) and D-dimer have been considered to be involved in many vascular diseases. In this study we aimed to explore the diagnostic implication of FDP and D-dimer in aortic dissection patients. 202 aortic dissection patients were collected as the case group, 150 patients with other cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI, n = 45), pulmonary infarct...

The mechanism and significance of elevated levels of serum fibrin degradation products (FDP) in pulmonary embolism were investigated experimentally. Dogs were embolized with autologous blood clot-incorporating canine 125I-fibrin and were infused with either saline, heparin, or streptokinase. Serial measurements were made of total FDP by hemagglutination inhibition assay and of radioactive FDP. ...

1. Spleen-type (M2-type) pyruvate kinase was purified and crystallized from Rhodamine sarcoma of rats by a procedure involving affinity chromatography on a P-cellulose column and isoelectric separations in the presence and absence of fructose 1,6-diphosphate (FDP). 2. In sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified enzyme migrated, forming a single band correspon...

Uttley, W. S., Maxwell, H., and Cash, J. D. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 137. Fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products in children with renal disease. Fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) were measured in the serum and urine of children with various forms of renal disease. Serum FDP was raised both with nephrosis and with active proliferative nephritis. Urine FDP was rare...

The mechanism and significance of elevated levels of serum fibrin degradation products (FDP) in pulmonary embolism were investigated experimentally. Dogs were embolized with autologous blood clot-incorporating canine ‘23l-fibrln and were infused with either saline, heparin, or streptokinase. Serial measurements were made of total FDP by hemagglutination inhibition assay and of radioactive FDP. ...

Serum and urine concentrations of fibrin (-ogen) degradation products (FDP) were estimated in 20 proven Russell's viper bite (RVB) cases with severe defribination. All patients had similar degrees of high serum FDP levels. However, the ten who developed into acute renal failure (ARF) had significantly (p < 0.001) higher urinary FDP levels than those who did not. The urinary FDP levels of ARF ca...

Studies with partially purified extracts of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked l(+)-lactate dehydrogenase of Streptococcus cremoris US3 showed that fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) was essential for the catalytic reduction of pyruvate in the pH range 5.0 to 7.0, outside of which the organism does not grow. In the absence of FDP, enzyme activity was observed only in the region of pH 8.0....
