Matrix metalloproteinase-9 also likely participates in thrombolysis. A rat model of middle cerebral artery infarction was established by injecting autologous blood clots into the internal carotid artery. At 3 hours following model induction, urokinase was injected into the caudal vein. Decreased neurological severity score, reduced infarct volume, and increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 were observed in the cerebral cortex 24 hours after urokinase thrombolysis. These results suggest that urokinase can suppress damage in the acute-early stage of cerebral infarction.展开更多

However, the optimal timing and means of anticoagulation therapy remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects and safety of heparin treatment within 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction. DESIGN: Observation experiment. SETTING: Department of Neurology, the 306 Hospital of Chinese PLA. PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen acute cerebral infarction patients complicated by moderate and severe neurologic function deficits within 6 hours after attack admitted to Department of Neurology, the 306 Hospital of Chinese PLA between January 2005 and December 2006 were recruited in this study. The involved patients, 11 male and 4 female, were aged 46- 79 years. They all met the diagnosis criteria for various cerebrovascular diseases formulated by the 4th National Conference for Cerebrovascular Disease (1995) and confirmed as cerebral infarction by skull CT or MRI imageology. Informed consents were obtained from the patients or their relatives. METHODS: On admission, patients received thrombolysis with urokinase. Immediately after thrombolysis, skull CT was rechecked. Intracranial hemorrhage signs were not found by skull CT. Hemorrhage was also not found in skin, mucous membrane and internal organs. Six hours later, low-dose low-intensity heparin 4 - 8 IU/kg per hour was intravenously administrated for anticoagulation for 7 - 10 days successively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neurologic function was evaluated before, immediately 6 hours and 14 days after thrombolysis by scoring standard of clinical neurologic function deficit degree for stroke patients (1995). Activities of daily living of patients with stroke were evaluated 90 days after thrombolysis by modified Rankin Scale. RESULTS: Fifteen involved patients participated in the final analysis. ① Comparison of clinical neurologic function deficit degree of patients at different time: Neurologic function deficit score at the end of thrombolysis was significantly lower than that before thrombolysis (t =3.45, P 〈 0.01). Neurologic function deficit score 6 hours after thrombolysis was higher than that at the end of thrombolysis, and neurologic deficits were increased, but no significant difference was found (P 〉 0.05). Neurologic function deficit score 14 days after thrombolysis was significantly lower than that before thrombolysis (t =4.769, P 〈 0.01). ②Therapeutic effect and modified Rankin scale results: 14 days after thrombolysis, 4 patients were basically cured, 7 significantly improved, 2 improved and 2 worsened. The total improvement rate of neurologic function deficit was 86.7%. Ninety days after thrombolysis, according to modified Rankin Scale, score was 0 to 2 in 12 patients (80%), 3 to 4 in 2 patients (13.3%) and 6 in 1 patient (6.7%). Complications of intracranial hemorrhage were not found in patients within 14 days after thrombolysis. CONCLUSION: Low-dose and low-intensity heparin applied within 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis has good safety and efficacy in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.展开更多

There is currentl...Background Clearance of coronary arterial thrombosis is necessary in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There is currently no highly-recommended method of thrombus removal during interventional procedures. We describe a new method for opening culprit vessels to treat STEMI: intracoronary arterial retrograde thrombolysis (ICART) with PCI. Methods & Results Eight patients underwent ICART. The guidewire was advanced to the distal coronary artery through the occlusion lesion. Then, we inserted a microcatheter into the distal end of the occluded coronary artery over the guidewire. Urokinase (5–10 wu) mixed with contrast agents was slowly injected into the occluded section of the coronary artery through the microcatheter. The intracoronary thrombus gradually dissolved in 3–17 min, and the effect of thrombolysis was visible in real time. Stents were then implanted according to the characteristics of the recanalized culprit lesion to achieve full revascularization. One patient experienced premature ventricular contraction during vascular revascularization, and no malignant arrhythmias were seen in any patient. No reflow or slow flow was not observed post PCI. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade and myocardial blush grade post-primary PCI was 3 in all eight patients. No patients experienced bleeding or stroke. Conclusions ICART was accurate and effective for treating intracoronary thrombi in patients with STEMI in this preliminary study. ICART was an effective, feasible, and simple approach to the management of STEMI, and no intraprocedural complications occurred in any of the patients. ICART may be a breakthrough in the treatment of acute STEMI.展开更多

Methods. In the present study, eighteen patients with acute myocardial in farction(AMI) received 1.5 or 2.0 million U nonspecific urokinase(UK), or 70~80 mg fibrin specific recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt PA)and did not use heparin until 8 hours after intravenous injection of the above agents. Eig ht patients with AMI and without thrombolytic therapy were enrolled as controls. Coagulant and thrombolytic activity markers included thrombin antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT), D dimer, fibrinogen (Fg), FMPV/Amax. All markers were determined before,immediately,1,2,4 and 8 hours after the administration of thrombolytic a gents respectively. Results. Molecular marker of thrombin generation——TAT showed an activated coa gulant state immediately after thrombolytic therapy. Level of TAT showed no sign ificant changes between every two observed phases in controls. However, level of TAT increased significantly from 4.95±1.75μg/L ( 4.63±1.37μg/L) to 14.71±3 .31μg/L ( 14.25±2.53μg/L) before and immediately after administration of thro mbolytic agents UK(or rt PA). There was significant difference between level of serum TAT of patients with and without thrombolytic therapy (P< 0.05). Patients achieving clinical reperfusion had lower TAT level than those failing in thromb olytic therapy, and higher FMPV/Amax level than controls. D dimer, a surrogate of thrombolytic activity increased markedly and Fg significantly declined afte r thrombolytic therapy(P< 0.05).Conclusions. Thrombin generation occurred in plasma in response to excess fibri nolysis induced by thrombolytic therapy. Both urokinase and rt PA had procoagul ant action. This transient activation of the coagulant system might contribute t o early reocclusion. These data provided the theoretical support for simultaneou s administration of anticoagulant therapy with thrombolytic agents. These result s also suggested that TAT might be useful in predicting clinical outcomes of p atients treated with thrombolytic therapy for AMI.展开更多

文摘Background Clearance of coronary arterial thrombosis is necessary in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There is currently no highly-recommended method of thrombus removal during interventional procedures. We describe a new method for opening culprit vessels to treat STEMI: intracoronary arterial retrograde thrombolysis (ICART) with PCI. Methods & Results Eight patients underwent ICART. The guidewire was advanced to the distal coronary artery through the occlusion lesion. Then, we inserted a microcatheter into the distal end of the occluded coronary artery over the guidewire. Urokinase (5–10 wu) mixed with contrast agents was slowly injected into the occluded section of the coronary artery through the microcatheter. The intracoronary thrombus gradually dissolved in 3–17 min, and the effect of thrombolysis was visible in real time. Stents were then implanted according to the characteristics of the recanalized culprit lesion to achieve full revascularization. One patient experienced premature ventricular contraction during vascular revascularization, and no malignant arrhythmias were seen in any patient. No reflow or slow flow was not observed post PCI. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade and myocardial blush grade post-primary PCI was 3 in all eight patients. No patients experienced bleeding or stroke. Conclusions ICART was accurate and effective for treating intracoronary thrombi in patients with STEMI in this preliminary study. ICART was an effective, feasible, and simple approach to the management of STEMI, and no intraprocedural complications occurred in any of the patients. ICART may be a breakthrough in the treatment of acute STEMI.

文摘BACKGROUND:The study aimed to compare the therapeutic effect of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA) on the onset of acute cerebral infarction(ACI) at different time points of the first 6 hours.METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 74 patients who received rt-PA thrombolysis treatment within 4.5 hours after ACI and another 15 patients who received rt-PA thrombolysis treatment between 4.5-6 hours after ACI.RESULTS:National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) scores were statistically decreased in both groups(P>0.05) at 24 hours and 7 days after ACI.There was no significant difference in modified ranking scores and mortality at 90 days after the treatment between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSIONS:The therapeutic effect and mortality of rt-PA treatment in patients with ACI between 4.5-6 hours after the onset of the disease were similar to those in patients who received rtPA within 4.5 hours after the onset of this disease.Therefore,intravenous thrombolytic therapy for ACI within 4.5-6 hours after ACI was effective and safe.
文摘Objective:To investigate the effects of intravenous thrombolysis therapy with alteplase on neurological function,coagulation function and serum inflammatory factors in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of 96 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to October 2019 were randomly divided into two groups,with 48 patients in each group.The control group(n=48)received routine treatment,and the observation group received intravenous thrombolysis therapy with alteplase on the basis of routine treatment.The neurological deficit score,prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),tumor necrosis factor-a level(TNF-α),and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)were compared between the two groups after 15 days of treatment.Results:After treatment,NIHSS scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment;PT levels were increased,while APTT,TNF-αand hs-CRP levels were all decreased in both groups,and the changes in the observation group were greater than those in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusions:Intravenous thrombolysis therapy with alteplase can improve the neurological function,coagulation function and serum levels of inflammatory factors in patients with acute cerebral infarction,which is worthy of clinical application.
文摘This article describes the clinical characteristics of a case of cerebral infarction complicated with pulmonary embolism(PE),and elaborates the therapeutic strategies of intravenous thrombolysis and anticoagulation.Treatment remedies:the medical history and examination data of a patient with aphasia and right hemiplegia were collected.After intravenous thrombolysis and pulmonary artery CTA(computed tomographic angiography),the patient was found to have low blood oxygen saturation and PE.And the patient was treated with anticoagulant therapy.Post treatment evaluating:cerebral hemorrhage was excluded by craniocerebral CT(computed tomographic),and left basal ganglia infarction was diagnosed.After thrombolysis,the symptoms of aphasia and hemiplegia were significantly improved.For PE,after anticoagulant therapy,the patient’s breathing was stable and blood oxygen saturation was normal.For deep venous thrombosis of both lower extremities,anticoagulant therapy was continued.Conclusion:patients with thrombophilia are prone to cerebral embolism,PE and deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs.Intravenous thrombolytic therapy in acute phase and heparin anticoagulant therapy in recovery period can effectively control the disease.
文摘To examine the procoagulant effects of thrombolytic agent on h emostasis and study the role of hemostatic markers as predictors of clinical outcomes. Methods. In the present study, eighteen patients with acute myocardial in farction(AMI) received 1.5 or 2.0 million U nonspecific urokinase(UK), or 70~80 mg fibrin specific recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt PA)and did not use heparin until 8 hours after intravenous injection of the above agents. Eig ht patients with AMI and without thrombolytic therapy were enrolled as controls. Coagulant and thrombolytic activity markers included thrombin antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT), D dimer, fibrinogen (Fg), FMPV/Amax. All markers were determined before,immediately,1,2,4 and 8 hours after the administration of thrombolytic a gents respectively. Results. Molecular marker of thrombin generation——TAT showed an activated coa gulant state immediately after thrombolytic therapy. Level of TAT showed no sign ificant changes between every two observed phases in controls. However, level of TAT increased significantly from 4.95±1.75μg/L ( 4.63±1.37μg/L) to 14.71±3 .31μg/L ( 14.25±2.53μg/L) before and immediately after administration of thro mbolytic agents UK(or rt PA). There was significant difference between level of serum TAT of patients with and without thrombolytic therapy (P< 0.05). Patients achieving clinical reperfusion had lower TAT level than those failing in thromb olytic therapy, and higher FMPV/Amax level than controls. D dimer, a surrogate of thrombolytic activity increased markedly and Fg significantly declined afte r thrombolytic therapy(P< 0.05).Conclusions. Thrombin generation occurred in plasma in response to excess fibri nolysis induced by thrombolytic therapy. Both urokinase and rt PA had procoagul ant action. This transient activation of the coagulant system might contribute t o early reocclusion. These data provided the theoretical support for simultaneou s administration of anticoagulant therapy with thrombolytic agents. These result s also suggested that TAT might be useful in predicting clinical outcomes of p atients treated with thrombolytic therapy for AMI.
文摘Objective:Thrombolytic therapy is an established modality in the management ofacute myocardial infarction(AMI).But early reocclusion of 5-15% limits its effectsand modifies the prognosis of involved patients,To identify the coagulation-relatedfactors predisposing to rethrombosis and consequent reocclusion after thrombolytictherapy,this study was designed to dynamically observe the changes of plasmacoagulation activities before and after thrombolytic therapy.Materials and methods:Consecutive 37 patients presenting with AMI were included,28 of which matched with the inclusion criteria for thrombolysis,Either 1500 000U ofurokinase or 1 500 000U of streptokinase was infused intravenously within 30min.0.3g of aspirin was taken sublingually by all the patients before the start ofthrombolysis and maintained 150mg once daily.Subcutaneous calcium heparan,7500U twice daily was administered 12 hours after the initiation of thrombolytic therapyand sustained for 4-10 days.Upon the diagnosis of the AMI established,blcodsampling was performed periodically and plasma ATM(antithrombin Ⅲ modified)and D-D(D-Dimer) determined by ELISA.Changes of these two parameters within andbetween different subgroups were analyzed.Results:Plasma ATM and D-D increased significantly 2 hours after thrombolysisinitiation.Plasma ATM levels peaked 4 hours later,sustained for at least 3 days,Plasma D-D peaked in 2 hours and returned progressively to normal 12 hours afterthrombolysis In patients without thrombolysis,no significant changes were found inplasma ATM and D-D levels during the whole monitoring period.A positivecorrelation was present between plasma ATM and D-D levels in thrombolytic patients.By subgroup analysis,coagulation activation occurred upon infusion of thromnbolytics.no matter whether the infarct-related vessels were reperfused or not,or which kind ofthromboiytics we chosen,Conclusion:1)Thrombolytic therapy activates coagulation system,which is positivelyrelated to clot lysis.2)Burst of coagulation cascade is only related to thrombolyticsinfusion.3)The anticoagulant regimen we now used could net sufficiently suppress theactivation of coagulation.Earlier or simultancous administration of intensiveanticoagulation may benefit more from thrombolytic therapy for patients with AMI.
