Anticoagulation with defibrase during prolonged extracorporeal circulation in the dog. 1976

E Berglin, and Svalander, and Teger-Nilsson A-C, and G William-Olsson

Defĩbrase was used for anticoagulation in dogs during extracorporeal perfusion up to 6 hours with a Travenol membrane oxygenator or a Pall filter. The anticoagulation effect was adequate. The already low fibrinogen concentration became unmeasurable, the platelet count decreased, and the fibrin(ogen) degradation products increased during the perfusion. Histological examination showed platelets and white blood cells on the membranes. Perfusion pressure and blood flow were stable during the experiments, and no bleeding, thromboembolism or other adverse side-effects were noted. Defibrase might be an alternative to heparin for anticoagulation during extra-corporeal circulation.

D010447 Peptide Hydrolases Hydrolases that specifically cleave the peptide bonds found in PROTEINS and PEPTIDES. Examples of sub-subclasses for this group include EXOPEPTIDASES and ENDOPEPTIDASES.

D012103 Batroxobin A proteolytic enzyme obtained from the venom of fer-de-lance (BOTHROPS ATROX). It is used as a plasma clotting agent for fibrinogen and for the detection of fibrinogen degradation products. The presence of heparin does not interfere with the clotting test. Hemocoagulase is a mixture containing batroxobin and factor X activator. EC 3.4.21.-. Defibrol,Hemocoagulase,Defibrase,Reptilase,Reptilase-DEF,Reptilase DEF
D001772 Blood Cell Count The number of LEUKOCYTES and ERYTHROCYTES per unit volume in a sample of venous BLOOD. A complete blood count (CBC) also includes measurement of the HEMOGLOBIN; HEMATOCRIT; and ERYTHROCYTE INDICES.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog

D005338 Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products Soluble protein fragments formed by the proteolytic action of plasmin on fibrin or fibrinogen. FDP and their complexes profoundly impair the hemostatic process and are a major cause of hemorrhage in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
