Hemodynamic Disorders: Hemostasis Flashcards
normal hemostasis includes
- platelets
- endothelium
- plasma clotting factors
function of platelets
- maintenance of vascular integrity
- platelet plug formation
- platelet phospholipid complex expression (leads to promotion of coagulation cascade)
- promotion of endothelial repair
name 2 platelet inhibitors
- cyclooxygenase inhibitors (aspirin)
2. ADP receptor antagonists (ticlopidine and clopidogrel)
what are other platelet inhibitors
- phosphodiesterase inhibitors (dipyridamole)
2. glycoprotein (GP) IIB/IIIa receptor antagoinsts
mechanism of phophodiesterase inhibitors
increases [ ] of cAMP and cGMP
function of endothelium
- metabolic transfer
- barrier functions
- synthesis of mediators of interactions between endothelium and blood components
- thomboresistance - prevents clotting
- mediation of vascular repair
examples of endothelial thromboresistance
- heparin-like molecules
- PGI2 and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis
- plasminogen activation
- ADP degradation
- thrombin inactivation
- thrombomodulin production
- protein S synthesis
where do heparin-like molecules act at
at interface of endothelial cells and plasma
function of heparin-like molecules
activate antithrombin III
activated antithrombin II cleaves
thrombin, factors Xa and IXa
what is thrombomodulin
endothelial surface protein
thrombomodulin is a receptor for
thrombin
thrombomodulin binds thrombin and coverts it to an
activator of protein C
activated protein C (APC) cleaves factors
VA and VIIIa
protein S is a cofactor for
activated protein C
other functions of activated protein C
- contributes to significant reduction of mortality in patients with severe sepsis
- attenuates various deleterious events induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
activated protein C has associated —- and — effects
anti-inflammatory
profibrinolytic
activated protein C inhibits
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production
events initiated by endothelial disruption
- vasoconstriction (neurogenic, endothelin)
- platelet adhesion and aggression
- release of TxA2
- initiation of coagulation
- fibrinolysis
what are the 3 distinct phases of the newest representation
- initiation
- propagation
- termination
what are initiation
-chemical or mechanical damage to tissue
function of initiation
- exposes tissue factor (TF) to the plasma circulation
- induces TF expression by monocytes, activated endothelium
Tissue factors interacts with a small amount of
preexistant factor VIIa in the plasma
interaction of TF and preexistant factor VIIa form
extrinsic tenase (TF/VIIa/IX/X) on a phospholipid surface
rapid inactivation of the extrinsic tenase by
tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
extrinsic tenase generates small amounts of factors
IXa and Xa
Xa cleaves
prothrombin (II) to form small amounts of thrombin (IIa)
