Цель исследования - изучить состояние системы гемостаза при хронической интоксикации хлоридом никеля, исследовать взаимосвязь показателей гемокоагуляции с процессами липопероксидации у крыс в эксперименте. Методика. Опыты проводили на крысах-самцах Вистар (n=50, 230-250 г). Раствор NiCl2 (5 мг/кг) вводили внутрижелудочно ежедневно в течение 2 нед, 1 и 2 мес. По завершении эксперимента исследовали состояние тромбоцитарного и коагуляционного звеньев гемостаза, антикоагулянтную и фибринолитическую активность крови, а также определяли активность процессов перекисного окисления липидов и антиоксидантных ферментов. Результаты. Установлено, что через 2 нед и 1 мес интоксикации у крыс отмечались гиперкоагуляционные изменения показателей свертывающей системы крови: повышение агрегационной активности тромбоцитов, увеличение концентрации фибриногена, снижение активированного частичного тромбопластинового времени (АЧТВ) и протромбинового времени. В этот период регистрировалось увеличение антитромбиновой и фибринолитической активности крови. Через 2 мес наблюдалось подавление активности клеточного звена гемостаза - тромбоцитопения, ослабление степени АДФ-индуцируемой агрегации тромбоцитов. Выявлялась тенденция к уменьшению концентрации фибриногена. На фоне снижения АЧТВ и тромбинового времени отмечалось увеличение протромбинового времени. В то же время регистрировалось угнетение противосвертывающего звена системы гемостаза (снижалась активность антитромбина III), наблюдалось истощение резервных возможностей фибринолитического звена (замедление фXIIа-зависимого эуглобулинового лизиса) и увеличение содержания растворимых фибрин мономерных комплексов, что свидетельствует о наличии тромбинемии. Через 2 нед, один и два месяца интоксикации у животных выявлялись корреляционные связи между основными показателями системы гемостаза и активностью процессов перекисного окисления липидов и антиоксидантных ферментов. Заключение. Полученные данные подтверждают наличие взаимосвязи активности процессов липопероксидации и системы гемостаза, в том числе при хронической никелевой интоксикации. Результаты исследования позволяют рекомендовать применение антиоксидантов для разработки способов коррекции гемостатических сдвигов при воздействии на организм тяжелых металлов. The aim. To study the state of the hemostasis system in chronic nickel intoxication and to investigate the relationship between hemocoagulation indices and lipoperoxidation processes in rats. Methods. Experiments were carried out on male Wistar rats (n=50, 230-250 g). A solution of nickel chloride (5 mg/kg) was administered daily intragastrically for two weeks, one and two months. At the end of the experiments, indices of platelet and coagulation hemostasis systems, anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activity of blood plasma, and activities of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes were studied. Results. Hypercoagulative changes in indices of the coagulation system were observed in rats after two weeks and one month of intoxication, including increased platelet aggregation and fibrinogen concentration and shortened activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time. During the same period, increased antithrombin and fibrinolytic activities were observed. The depressed activity of the cellular component of hemostasis evident as thrombocytopenia and impaired ADP-induced platelet aggregation was detected after two months of intoxication. A tendency to decrease in fibrinogen concentration was observed. The shortened activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time were associated with prolonged prothrombin time. At the same time, inhibition of the anticoagulant component of hemostasis (decreased antithrombin III activity), exhaustion of the fibrinolysis system reserve (delayed fXIIa-dependent euglobulin lysis), and a significant increase in soluble fibrin monomeric complexes indicative of thrombinemia were observed. After two weeks, one and two months of nickel intoxication, a correlation was found between the major indices of the hemostasis system and the activities of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes. Conclusion. The study confirmed a relationship between the lipid peroxidation activity and the hemostasis system, specifically in chronic nickel intoxication. This result allows to recommend the use of antioxidants in developing methods for correction of hemostatic induced affected by heavy metals.

Bleeding time in rats was markedly prolonged after the adminstration of the water extract of Hsien-Ho-T'sao. This antihemostatic effect was more marked in the group of i.p. injection of the drug than in the group of p.o. administration for 2 to 7 consecutive days. Blood coagulation studies showed that plasma prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and stypven time were prolonged, while thrombin time adnd fibrinogen level were not changed. The thromboelastographic recording showed that reation time was prolonged and maximal elasticity of clot was decreased. In addition, ADP- and collagen- induced aggregations of platelet-rich plasma was suppressed. In conclusion, the prolongation of the bleeding time might be due to both anticoagulant and antiplatelet action of the drug.

The comorbid course of liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation causes higher levels of hospitalizations, mortality and ischemic stroke. According to current data, hemostasis in patients with liver cirrhosis is in a rebalanced dynamic state, but there are no data on the effect of atrial fibrillation on the hemostasis in patients with liver cirrhosis. Aims of the study. To assess abnormalities in primary, secondary haemostasis and fibrinolytic system in patients with liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation by using standard laboratory coagulation parameters and to investigate their changes depending on the stage of liver cirrhosis A, B, C according to Child-Pugh score. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional prospective study was conducted with the inclusion of 106 patients aged 42 to 83 years: group I (n = 70) - with liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation, II (n = 36) - with liver cirrhosis, which were distributed depending on the Child-Pugh score stages of cirrhosis and 20 healthy individuals. The levels of platelets, activated partial thromboplastin time, international normalized ratio, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, D-dimer were assessed on a Steellex M200 coagulometer. Statistical analysis (IBM SPSS Statistics) was performed. Results. The level of platelets in patients of group I was reduced by 37.4% (200 ± 8.33 vs. 274.7 ± 3.4; p,000.001), an activated partial thromboplastin time was prolonged by 38.6% (44.35 ± 1.39 vs. 32.01 ± 0.63, p˂0.001), prothrombin time was prolonged by 73.5% (19.4 ± 0.87 vs. 11.18 ± 0.53, p˂0.001), thrombin time was prolonged by 2.07 (25, 7 ± 1.31 vs. 12.4 ± 0.66, p˂0.001), the international normalized ratio was increased by 24.3% (1.38 ± 0.04 vs.1.11 ± 0.01, p˂0.001) compared to control. The fibrinogen level was 20.9% higher (4.17 ± 0.17 vs. 3.45 ± 0.11, p˂0.001) than in control group and was 83.7% higher (4.17 ± 0.17 vs. 2.27 ± 0.13, p˂0.001) than in group II. The D-dimer level was 83% higher than in control (675 ± 22.3 vs. 368.8 ± 21.85, p˂0.001) and 44% higher (675 ± 22.3 vs. 469 ± 37.18, p ˂0.001) compared with group II. Conclusions. In patients with liver cirrhosis and atrial fibrillation abnormalities of primary hemostasis are detected due to decrease of platelets on the background of portal hypertension. At the secondary stage of hemostasis indicators of external and internal coagulation mechanisms are prolonged due to the reduced synthesis of coagulation factors by the liver. Increased level of fibrinogen is determined at the stage of compensated and subcompensated cirrhosis with a gradual decrease at the stage of decompensation. The high activity of the fibrinolytic system is observed due to increase in the D-dimer levels, which may indicate a prothrombotic state in these patients.

Diabetes Melitus

Diabetes Melitus (DM) memerlukan pengendalian glikemia yang dapat diketahui dengan melakukan pemeriksaan hemoglobinterglikasi (HbA1c). Semakin tinggi kadar hemoglobin terglikasi (HbA1c), semakin tidak terkendali kadar gula darah pasien DM tipe2. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan terjadinya proses hiperkoagulasi dan gangguan mikrovaskular maupun makrovaskular. PemeriksaanProtrombin Time (PT) dan Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) diharapkan dapat mendeteksi secara dini adanya gangguankoagulasi di pasien DM tipe 2. Penelitian potong lintang terhadap 72 orang pasien DM tipe 2 yang berusia diatas 18 tahun diperiksakadar HbA1c dan dikaji koagulasi (PT dan APTT). Pasien dengan penyakit penyerta seperti anemia dan kelainan hemoglobin, keganasanatau kelainan hematologis, pasca bedah, hipertiroid, perempuan hamil, riwayat penyakit hati dan pasien yang mengkonsumsi obatobatanyang mengganggu fungsi koagulasi dikeluarkan dari penelitian ini. Uji normalitas data menggunakan Kolmogorov-Smirnovdan analisis hubungan menggunakan uji Pearson. Analisis kenasaban terdapat hubungan antara kadar hemoglobin terglikasi denganProthrombin Time negatif lemah (r= -0,179; p=0,132) dan dengan Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time positif sangat lemah (r=0,016;p=0,892). Berdasarkan telitian ini terdapat hubungan negatif lemah yang bermakna antara kadar hemoglobin terglikasi dengan PTdan hubungan positif sangat lemah yang tidak bermakna dengan Activated Partial Thomboplastin Time.

Abstract Context.—Technologic advances affecting analyzers used in clinical laboratories have changed the methods used to obtain many laboratory measurements, and many novel parameters are now available. The effects of specimen transport through a pneumatic tube system on laboratory results obtained with such modern instruments are unclear. Objective.—To determine the effects of sample transport through a pneumatic tube system on routine and novel hematology and coagulation parameters obtained on state-of-the-art analyzers. Design.—Paired blood samples from 33 healthy volunteers were either hand delivered to the clinical laboratory or transported through a pneumatic tube system. Results.—No statistically significant differences were observed for routine complete blood cell count and white cell differential parameters or markers of platelet activation, such as the mean platelet component, or of red cell fragmentation. When 2 donors who reported aspirin intake were excluded from the analysis, there was a statistically, but not clinically, significant impact of transport through the pneumatic tube system on the mean platelet component. There were no statistically significant differences for prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, waveform slopes for prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, or fibrin monomers. Conclusions.—Although further study regarding the mean platelet component may be required, transport through a pneumatic tube system has no clinically significant effect on hematology and coagulation results obtained with certain modern instruments in blood samples from healthy volunteers.

Maternal Administration

The effect of maternal administration of vitamin K1 on cord blood prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, activity of factors II, VII, and X, and antigen levels of factors II and X in infants < 35 weeks' gestation was evaluated. Pregnant women in preterm labor were randomly assigned to receive 10 mg of vitamin K1 intramuscularly or no injection. If delivery did not occur in 4 days, the dose of vitamin K1 was repeated. Women who continued their pregnancy 4 days beyond the second dose received 20 mg of vitamin K1 orally daily until the end of the 34th week of gestation. The birth weights of infants ranged from 370 to 2550 g and gestational age ranged from 22 to 34 weeks. The prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, factors II, VII, and X activity, and factors II and X antigen levels were not statistically different in either group of infants. Intraventricular hemorrhage occurred in 25 of 51 control infants and 25 of 47 vitamin K-treated infants. More control infants had grade III intraventricular hemorrhage on day 1 (P = .032), but on day 3 and 14 of life, the severity of intraventricular hemorrhage was comparable in both groups. Infants in whom an intraventricular hemorrhage developed were significantly smaller, younger, and more critically ill than infants without intraventricular hemorrhage. Administration of vitamin K1 to pregnant women at < 35 weeks' gestation does not improve the hemostatic defects nor does it reduce the incidence or severity of intraventricular hemorrhage in their infants.

Objective: Patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are frequently in need for sedation. Use of propofol has been associated with impaired oxygenator function due to adsorption to the membrane as well as lipid load. The aim of our retrospective analysis was to compare two different sedation regimens containing either propofol or midazolam with respect to oxygenator running time. Methods: Midazolam was used in 73 patients whereas propofol was used in 49 patients, respectively. In the propofol group, veno-arterial–extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used predominantly (84%), while veno-venous–extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used more often in the midazolam group (64%). Results: Oxygenator running time until first exchange was 7 days in both groups ( p = 0.759). No statistically significant differences could be observed between the subgroup of patients receiving lipid-free (n = 24) and lipid-containing (n = 31) parenteral nutrition, respectively. Laboratory parameters like triglycerides, free hemoglobin, fibrinogen, platelets, and activated partial thromboplastin time were not significantly different between both sedation regimens ( p = 0.462, p = 0.489, p = 0.960, p = 0.134, and p = 0.843) and were not associated with oxygenator running time. Conclusion: The use of propofol as sedative seems suitable in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy.
