[The use of Soviet substitutes for batroxobin in the determination of fibrinogen].

Plasma fibrinogen was measured by kinetic photometry with two Soviet analogs of the foreign agent batroxobin: ancistron-N and agichal, obtained from Central Asian Aspidelaps lubricus venom by different techniques. Both the preparations of thrombin-like enzyme from the venom have proved to be adequate substituents of batroxobin; the optimal concentration of ancistron-N for this test was found to be 20 micrograms/ml or 0.04 U/ml, that of agichal 0.5 micrograms/ml.

[Changes in various hemostasis indices during transient coronary insufficiency with different durations of myocardial ischemia].

Experiments on 93 white random-bred male rats weighing 200 +/- 10 g have shown that during myocardial ischemia under transitory coronary insufficiency, there is an increase in platelet adhesive capacity, acceleration of fibrinogenesis, staged time course of formation of the fibrin-platelet structure of the blood clot, depression of its velocity and lysis degree, as well as of fibrin polymerization. Postischemic reperfusion of the coronary blood flow is not followed by normalization of all the hemostatic indicators under study even after a short-term (10 min) myocardial ischemia. Reperfusion after a long-term (40 min) ischemia gives rise to depression of coagulation and fibrinolytic activity, while that after a still longer ischemia (120 min) is characterized by discordant changes in the parameters of the systems indicated. It is assumed that similar shifts in hemostasis can be observed in patients with different patterns of coronary insufficiency.
