Eine Hausärztin, die, statt ein Physio-Rezept auszustellen, auf Übungen aus der Apotheken Umschau verweist? Unmöglich, sollte man meinen. Doch Physiotherapeutin Ulrike Maier belehrt eines Besseren. Ihre unwissende Hausärztin von nebenan liefert ihren Patienten gerne mal „alternative Fakten“ und hat bei ihren physiotherapeutischen Kenntnissen noch dringend Nachholbedarf.

Summary Background: Type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) is considered to be risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A rebound of circulating PAI-1 has been reported after rt-PA administration. We investigated the relationships between PAI-1 levels before and after thrombolytic therapy with streptokinase (SK) as compared to rt-PA and the patency of infarct-related arteries. Methods and Results: Fifty five consecutive patients with acute MI were randomized to strep-tokinase or rt-PA. The plasma PAI-1 levels were studied before and serially within 24 h after thrombolytic administration. Vessel patency was assessed by an angiogram at 5 ± 1days. The PAI-1 levels increased significantly with both rt-PA and SK as shown by the levels obtained from a control group of 10 patients treated with coronary angioplasty alone. However, the area under the PAI-1 curve was significantly higher with SK than with rt-PA (p <0.01) and the plasma PAI-1 levels peaked later with SK than with rt-PA (18 h versus 3 h respectively). Conversely to PAI-1 levels on admission, the PAI-1 levels after thrombolysis were related to vessel patency. Plasma PAI-1 levels 6 and 18 h after SK therapy and the area under the PAI-1 curve were significantly higher in patients with occluded arteries (p <0.002, p <0.04 and p <0.05 respectively).The same tendency was observed in the t-PA group without reaching significance. Conclusions: This study showed that the PAI-1 level increase is more pronounced after SK treatment than after t-PA treatment. There is a relationship between increased PAI-1 levels after thrombolytic therapy and poor patency. Therapeutic approaches aimed at quenching PAI-1 activity after thrombolysis might be of interest to improve the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

SummaryThe effects of oral and transdermal administration of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) have been fairly well investigated regarding lipoprotein and carbohydrate metabolism, while the effects of different modes of estrogen administration on the haemostatic system have been less well studied.To delineate and compare the effects of perorally administered conjugated estrogens (CE) and transdermally administered estradiol (E2) in doses needed for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on haemostasis parameters, 23 postmenopausal women were engaged in a study with an open cross-over design. The doses compared (0.625 mg CE and 50 μg E2/24h) are the lowest which, with few exceptions, eliminate climacteric symptoms. Both CE and E2 increased factor VII:C, factor VII:Ag, and the prothrombin fragment1+2. The increase in factor VII:Ag, however, was significantly higher after treatment with CE. These changes were all towards a state of hypercoagulability. Furthermore, CE decreased plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) and the thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TAT), as well as antithrombin (ATIII).

SummaryWe analyzed fibrinolytic parameters in 20 healthy men and 20 healthy women, aged from 25 to 59, before and after 10 and 20 min venous occlusion. The 10 min post-occlusion fibrinolytic activity measured directly in diluted unfractionated plasma by a highly sensitive 125I-fibrin plate assay correlated well with the activity of euglobulins determined by the classical fibrin plate assay (r = 0.729), but pre-stasis activities determined with these two methods did not correlate (r = 0.084). The enhancement of fibrinolytic activity after venous occlusion was mainly due to an increase of t-PA in the occluded vessels (4-fold increase t-PA antigen after 10 min and 8-fold after 20 min venous occlusion). Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1)1 antigen levels at rest showed considerable dispersion ranging from 1.9 to 12.4 U/ml, respectively 6.9 to 77 ng/ml. A significant increase of PAI-1 antigen levels was observed after 10 and 20 min venous occlusion. At rest no correlation was found between PAI activity or PAI-1 antigen levels and the fibrinolytic activity measured by 125I-FPA. However, a high level of PAI-1 at rest was associated with a high prestasis antigen level of t-PA and a low fibrinolytic response after 10 min of venous stasis. Since the fibrinolytic response inversely correlated with PAI activity at rest, we conclude that its degree depends mainly on the presence of free PAI.

summaryThe effect of purified human activated protein G (APC) on fibrinolysis was studied using a clot iysis system consisting of purified glu-plasminogen, tissue-type plasminogen activator, plasminogen activator inhibitor (released from endothelial cells or blood platelets), fibrinogen, 125T-fibrinogen and thrombin. All proteins were of human origin.In this system APC could increase fibrinolysis in a dose dependent way, without affecting fibrin formation or fibrin crosslinking. However, this profibrinolytic effect of APC could only be observed when plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-l) was present. The effect of APC was completely quenched by pretreatment of APC with anti-protein C IgG or di-isopropylfluorophosphate. Addition of the cofactors of APC:protein S, Ca2+-ions and phospholipid-alone or in combination did not enhance the profibrinolytic effect of APC. These observations indicate that human APC can accelerate in vitro clot lysis by the inactivation of PAI-1 activity. However, the neutralization of PAI-1 by APC is independent of the presence or absence of protein S, phospholipid and Ca2+-ions.

SummaryVitronectin (VN) stabilizes plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) activity and prevents the fibrin(ogen)-induced acceleration of plasminogen activation by t-PA. These antifibrinolytic activities as well as other functions are mediated by the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding domain of VN. Since the GAG binding region is rich in arginyl and lysyl residues, it is a potential target for enzymes such as plasmin. In this paper, the dose and time-dependent proteolysis of VN by plasmin is demonstrated. The addition of urokinase or streptokinase (200 units/ml) to plasma also produced proteolysis of VN. With minimal proteolysis, the 75 kDa band was degraded to a 62-65 kDa form of VN. This minimal proteolysis destroyed the binding of [3H]-heparin to VN and reversed the neutralization of heparin by VN.Thus, the plasmin-mediated proteolysis of the GAG binding activity of VN could destroy the antifibrinolytic activity of VN during physiologic conditions and during thrombolytic therapy. Furthermore, other functions of VN in complement and coagulation systems that are mediated by the GAG binding domain may be destroyed by plasmin proteolysis.
