Here we report damage effect of fibrinolysis and preserving effect of aprotinin on platelet function. Addition of 40 U/ml urokinase and 0.3 U/ml plasmin to PRP or washed platelets made the ristocetin-induced aggregation decline to 31.6% and 38.5% of control value respectively. The extent of declining was positively correlated with the concentration of urokinase and plasmin. Meanwhile, the platelet GPIb decreased to 76.4% of control value. The results showed that the fibrinolysis impaired the platelet function and this effect may be associated with the hydrolysis of GPIb. Further research found that by adding the same dose of urokinase or plasmin to aprotinin-pretreated PRP or washed platelets, the aggregation did not change statistically and decrement of GPIb is much less marked. We concluded that the aprotinin could relieve the platelet dsfunction effectively by its inhibitory effect on fibrinolytic activity.展开更多
