Abstract

To investigate the antithrombotic effects of recombinant hirudin and its mechanism. Sixty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 6 group (n=10):control group, model group, aspirin (25 mg/kg) group, recombinant hirudinlow, middle and high dose (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 mg/kg) groups.Except mice in control group, 2.5 mg/kg carrageenan was injected intraperitoneallyto mice in the other groups to produce thrombosis on the mice tail. The mice in aspirin group were administrated intraperitoneally 25 mg/kg aspirin, the mice in recombinant hirudinlow, middle and high dose groups were administrated intraperitoneally 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 mg/kg combinanthirudin, the mice in control group and model group were administrated intraperitoneallynormal saline at the same volume respectively at 24 h, 0.5 h before injecting carrageenan and 24 h after injecting carrageenan. The black tail length of mice and the incidence of black tail were observed at 48h after injection of carrageenan; prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), 6-keto-PGF1α, and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) level in mice plasma were determined. As compared with control group, the mice in ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
