Bovine peritoneum: fibrinolytic activity and adhesion formation. 1986

A M Trent, and J V Bailey

The fibrinolytic activity of peritoneum was evaluated in 4-month-old calves before and after peritoneal trauma. In each calf, a peritoneal resection, abrasion, sutured incision, and nonsutured incision were performed. These 4 trauma sites were evaluated for fibrinolytic activity and adhesion formation at 1 of 6 posttrauma intervals (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, or 14 days). Peritoneal plasminogen activator and fibrinolytic inhibitor activities from pre- and posttrauma samples were evaluated, using a fibrin-slide incubation technique. Calf peritoneal specimens consistently had fibrinolytic inhibitor activity, but did not have plasminogen activator activity. Significant differences were not found between fibrinolytic activity before or after trauma and a significant correlation was not found between fibrinolytic activity and the presence of or severity of adhesions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010537	Peritoneum	A membrane of squamous EPITHELIAL CELLS, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical MICROVILLI that allow rapid absorption of fluid and particles in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. The peritoneum is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the ABDOMINAL WALL. The visceral peritoneum covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered peritoneum forms the MESENTERY that suspends these organs from the abdominal wall.

D010960	Plasminogen Activators	A heterogeneous group of proteolytic enzymes that convert PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. They are concentrated in the lysosomes of most cells and in the vascular endothelium, particularly in the vessels of the microcirculation.

D005337	Fibrin	A protein derived from FIBRINOGEN in the presence of THROMBIN, which forms part of the blood clot.	Antithrombin I
D005342	Fibrinolysis	The natural enzymatic dissolution of FIBRIN.	Fibrinolyses
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.
