Remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical step in peripheral nerve regeneration. In fact, in human neuropathies, endoneurial ECM enriched in fibrin and vitronectin associates with poor regeneration and worse clinical prognosis. Accordingly in animal models, modification of the fibrinolytic complex activity has profound effects on nerve regeneration: high fibrinolytic activity and l...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was first, to investigate which factor in the fibrinolytic cascade is responsible for the recently observed increase of fibrinolytic activity in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and second, the cause of this increase. METHODS Fibrinolytic activity and the main regulators of endogenous fibrinolytic activity, tissue plasmin...

Fibrin structure contributes to the regulation of the fibrinolytic rate. As the fibrin fiber size is decreased, the fibrinolytic rate also decreases. Fibrin structure was altered by either changing the ratio of thrombin to fibrinogen, Le. altering the assembly rate or by adding a fibrin assembly inhibitor, iopamidol. Changes in the fibrinolytic rate were followed by measuring the time dependenc...

Agro-residues were used as the substrate for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme in solid state fermentation. In this study, two-level full factorial design (25) and response surface methodology were applied to optimize a fermentation medium for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme from the marine isolate Shewanella sp. IND20. The 25 factorial design demonstrated that the physical factors (p...

Bacillus amyloliquefancies CH51 isolated from cheonggukjang, a traditional Korean fermented soy food, has strong fibrinolytic activity and produces several fibrinolytic enzymes. Among four different growth media, tryptic soy broth was the best in terms of supporting cell growth and fibrinolytic activity of this strain. A protein with fibrinolytic activity was partially purified from the culture...

To process silage, rye is usually removed before the heading stage but the rye biomass increased up to 30% after the heading stage. However, after the heading stage, lignification rapidly accelerated and it resulted in a poor NDF digestibility problem. This has led to a demand for a strong fibrinolytic enzyme-producing probiotic for rye silage. The Gram-positive Leuconostoc holzapfelii 5H4 was ...

background: streptokinase is a bacterial protein produced by different beta hemolytic streptococci and widely used in thrombolytic treatment. the main disadvantage of using streptokinase is antibody formation which causes allergic reaction to neutralize effects of streptokinase therapy. aim of this study was investigate of recombinant mutant streptokinase fibrinolytic activity. m aterials and m...

SYNOPSIS The observation by Todd (1964) of a diffuse fibrinolytic activity related to the human endometrium in its secretory stage initiated a reinvestigation of the development of fibrinolytic activity in the uterus and vagina of the rat using the histochemical fibrin slide technique. In addition to the plasminogen activator known to be related to uterine vessels, in the rat in particular to m...

Fibrinolytic activity of colic venous and arterial blood has been studied at laparotomy in 18 patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's colitis and compared with that of 17 patients with colonic carcinoma or diverticulosis. Using the dilute blood clot lysis time technique, no difference was detected between the fibrinolytic activity in colic venous blood from the two groups. When the clinical...
