What converts plasminogen to plasmin?
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA)
Function of plasmin
- Clot dissolution – degrades fibrinogen & fibrin to FDPs
- Downregulation of coagulation – inactivates FVa & FVIIIa & degrades HMWK & prekallikrein
4 inhibitors of coagulation
- Antithrombin
- Heparin
- Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
- Protein C
Action of antithrombin
Anticoagulant – inhibits FVIIa, FIXa, FXa, FXIa, & FXIIa
Also decr inflamm
Heparin is cofactor
Action of heparin
- Incr ability of antithrombin to interact w thrombin & thus incr activity of thrombin ~ 1000 fold
- Also enhances release of TFPI which inhibits TF-VIIa complex
Action of protein C
Anticoagulant – inhibits FVa & FVIIa
Decr fibrinolysis – inhibits plasminogen activator inhibitor-1
Vit K dependent
Action of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)?
Anticoagulant – inhibits FXa & TF-VIIa complex
3 inhibitors of fibrinolysis
- plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)
- alpha-2 antiplasmin
- thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor
Action of plasminogen activator inhibitor?
Inhibits plasminogen; incr inflamm
Action of thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor?
Antifibrinolytic – reduces conversion of plasminogen to plasmin
Incr inflammation
TAFI activated by thrombin, TAT complex, & plasmin (neg feedback)
Prothrombin time measures?
Extrinsic & common pathways
What does activated partial thromboplastin (APTT) time measure? What does activated clotting time (ACT) measure?
Both measure intrinsic & common pathways;
ACT is stall side test, less sensitive than APTT
Dx of DIC req primary dz + what clinicopathologic evidence of coagulopathy?
Decr platelets
Incr clotting times
Decr fibrinogen
Incr D-Dimers or FDPs
Treatment for DIC
- Trt for endotoxemia
- Transfusion of platelets/plasma (plasma contains AT which freq low in septic pts)
- Heparin (incr activity of AT)
LMWH greater inhibition of FXa; UFH assoc w prolonged APTT & decr PCV
Indications for whole blood transfusion
PCV < 20%
Blood loss > 30% blood vol
Oxygen extraction ratios > 40-50%
Incr lactate helpful
Calculation for how much blood to transfuse
25-50% total blood lost
Chronic blood loss:
L = [(PCVdesired-PCVpatient)]x 0.08BW(kg)/PCVdonor
How much RBCs lost into body cavity will be reabsorbed back into circulation?
Up to 75% w/in 24-72 hrs
Rate of adverse rxns to whole blood?
16% run, 2% fatal anaphylaxis
Topical hemostatic agents
- Puffed gelatin sponge
- Oxidized regenerated cellulose
- Microfibrillar collagen hemostatic agents
- Polysaccharide hemostatic agents
- Bone wax
MOA of clenbuterol
Moderately selective B-2 adrenoreceptor agonist
Bronchodilator
Activated platelets in fibrin plug of wound direct & amplify early inflamm phase by release of?
PDGF & TGF-B
Processes that comprise proliferative phase of wound repair?
- Angiogenesis
- Fibrous/gran tissue formation
- Collagen deposition
- Epithelialization
- Wound contraction
Angiogenesis in wound initiated by?
Decr O2 tension
Incr lactate
Decr pH in wound
Rate at which endothelial cells @ capillary tips grow in wounded area?
0.4-1 mm/day
Wound fibroblasts produce what type of collagen?
Type I collagen
Which factors regulate growth of capillaries in acute wounds?
VEGF
bFGF
What factors regulate fibroblast migration & proliferation?
PDGF
TGF-B
bFGF
Rate of re-epithelialization of equine wounds?
0.09 mm/day
How much can contraction reduce wound surface area by?
40-80%
58-76% reported for full thickness wounds in MC/MT area
Rates of wound contraction?
Wounds on body faster than distal limb
- 8-1 mm/day for body
- 2 mm/day for distal limb
3 reasons for wound contraction to cease?
- Wound edges meet
- Tension w/in surrounding skin equal/greater than that generated by myofibroblasts
- When number of myofibroblasts in wound becomes low
What factors play a role in development of exuberant granulation tissue?
- Prolonged inflamm phase (TGF-B1 & incr TIMP identified)
- Microvascular occlusion
- Bandaging
What is maintenance energy req for normally active nonworking horse?
33 kcal/kg/day
