Clinical significance of protein C.

The coagulation inhibitors are important components of control mechanisms which ensure the haemocoagulation equilibrium. One of them is protein C, whose level was followed in patients with DIC. and IM. In DIC. cases a significant decrease was noted with regard to the MI groups and healthy donors. EID and ELISA methods were used for testing. The patients exhibiting the protein C defect require a corresponding treatment which should suppress the thromboembolic complications.

Platelet reactivity: a contribution to age dependence studies.

The authors examined 230 healthy donors (20-90 years) as to basic biochemical and haematological parameters and those parameters characterizing the function of blood platelets. Besides well known age dependences of fibrinogen concentration, AT III, erythrocyte sedimentation, glucose, cholesterol, alpha-2-macroglobulin and circulating immunocomplexes the results are presented showing a pronounced dependence of primary haemostatic system upon age. Within the age groups 65-75 years and those above 75 years there was a significantly higher amount of circulating aggregates (increase up to 152%), elevated concentration of beta-thromboglobulin and F VIII R:Ag. The increased reactivity of platelets is detectable even by applying relatively simple tests such as the determination of heparin-neutralizing activity, aggregation response to lower concentrations of induces or the determination of the amount of circulating aggregates.

Effect of lomustin on some platelet functions in vitro.

The effect of lomustin on platelet functions was investigated in vitro using a wide battery of tests. Lomustin was found to act as a specific inhibitor of platelet aggregation, release reaction and clot retraction and to induce acquired thrombocytopathy. Thus, impairment of platelet functions might play a role in hemorrhagic complications accompanying lomustin therapy in some cases.

Platelet function in hyperlipoproteinaemia.

A group of 53 healthy donors has been compared with another group of patients suffering from lipid metabolic disorders of Fredrickson type IIa (n = 14), IIb (n = 11) and IV (n = 21). In the course of three weeks the determinations have been carried out of lipid mechanism parameters, of Apoprotein B, of aggregation response upon ADP and adrenaline++ induction, of beta thromboglobulin, of heparin neutralizing activity, of malonyldialdehyde production upon N-ethylmaleimide stimulation and of the amount of circulating aggregates. In patients with HLP of IIa and IIb type a significant increase of plasmic beta thromboglobulin level was noted as well as shifts of other thrombocytic parameters towards higher platelet reactivity. The correlation between individual platelet parameters and parameters of lipid metabolism was statistically significant only in the case of cholesterol and malonyldialdehyde. A positive correlation of Apo B with BTG and with the aggregation response together with the observation of an increased Apo B concentration in normolipemic subjects with changed platelet reactivity, are indicative of an important role of Apo B during platelet activation in vivo.

Effect of cytostatics on some platelet functions in vitro. VI. Vinblastine.

The influence of vinblastine upon principal functions of blood platelets in vitro (adhesion, aggregation, platelet release reaction, membrane stabilization) has been followed using an extended system of laboratory examinations. The authors have found that the concentration of vinblastine which is higher than the average therapeutic dose (10(-5)M) inhibits the functional ability of platelets so that it may cause a thrombopatic disorder.
