There is a considerable body of experimental evidence that heparin is superior as an anticoagulant to any prothrombin depressing drugs. Furthermore its lipemia-clearing action affords other benefits which result from the removal of fat from the bloodstream. Important among these beneficial effects is the increased tissue and myocardial oxygen consumption which results from the injection of heparin in atherosclerotic patients.Because of these advantages of heparin over oral anticoagulants, the use of heparin as the sole anticoagulant for three weeks in patients with severe acute myocardial infarction was evaluated as opposed to the customary therapy where heparin is given for several days and then oral anticoagulants are used. The mortality in the dicoumarin treated group was 38 per cent, as compared with 28 per cent in the patients who received only heparin for three weeks. 相似文献

Rifampicin is an inducer of hepatic drug metabolising enzymes. This results in interactions with several drugs including oral anticoagulants, hypoglycaemics, and contraceptives. Concurrent treatment with prednisolone and rifampicin is given when tuberculosis coexists with a disease that is sensitive to steroids, when the diagnosis is uncertain, or occasionally in the treatment of severe tuberculosis. Two patients with respiratory disease were treated with both drugs: their condition improved considerably after rifampicin was withdrawn. Seven patients were then studied to assess the effect of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics of prednisolone. Overall, rifampicin increased the plasma clearance of prednisolone by 45% and reduced the amount of drug available to the tissues (area under the plasma concentration time curve) by 66%. The effectiveness of prednisolone may be considerably reduced when rifampicin and prednisolone are used in combination. 相似文献

Current anticoagulants target coagulation factors upstream from fibrin assembly and polymerization (i.e., formation of fibrin clot). While effective, this approach requires constant patient monitoring since pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics vary from patient to patient. To address these limitations, we developed an alternative anticoagulant that effectively inhibits fibrin polymerization. Specifically, we investigated PEGylated fibrin knob “A” peptides, evaluating the effect of both polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain length (0, 2, 5, and 10–30 kDa) and knob peptide sequence (GPRPAAC, GPRPFPAC, and GPRPPERC) on inhibiting fibrin polymerization (i.e., clot formation). Thrombin‐initiated clotting assays with purified fibrinogen were performed to compare clot formation with each peptide–PEG conjugate. Results indicated a biphasic effect of PEG chain length, whereby, active‐PEG conjugates demonstrated increasingly enhanced inhibition of fibrin polymerization from 0 to 5 kDa PEG. However, the anticoagulant activity diminished to control levels for PEG chains above 5 kDa. Ultimately, we observed a 10‐fold enhancement of anticoagulant activity with active peptides PEGylated with 5 kDa PEG compared to non‐PEGylated knob peptides. The sequence of the active peptide significantly influenced the anticoagulant properties only at the highest 1:100 molar ratio where GPRPFPAC‐5 kDa PEG and GPRPPERC‐5 kDa PEG demonstrated significantly lower percent clottable protein than GPRPAAC‐5 kDa PEG. Moreover, human plasma treated with the active 5 kDa PEG conjugate exhibited delayed prothrombin time to within the therapeutic range specified for oral anticoagulants. Collectively, this study demonstrated the utility of PEGylated fibrin knob peptides as potential anticoagulant therapeutics. Biotechnol.

The effects of 3 blood anticoagulants, heparin, acid citrate dextrose (ACD), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were investigated using human peripheral lymphocytes. Three different endpoints were examined: sister-chromatid exchange (SCE), cell kinetics index (CKI), and mitotic index (MI). SCEs were significantly increased in cells treated with EDTA, while the CKI and MI were significantly decreased in cultures treated with either ACD or EDTA when compared to cultures treated with heparin. These results suggest that anticoagulants may produce undesired effects upon cultured cells and indicate that the type of anticoagulant should be considered carefully prior to commencing cytogenetic studies using human peripheral lymphocytes. 相似文献

Platelet aggregation has been related to blood coagulation studies in patients on nicoumalone, a coumarin anticoagulant. Aggregation studies were performed by means of Chandler''s tube and the adenosine diphosphate (A.D.P.)-induced optical density method. Platelet aggregation in Chandler''s tube has been shown to be quite different from A.D.P. aggregation and to be dependent on the “intrinsic” (blood) clotting system. When the intrinsic system was depressed by coumarin anticoagulant, aggregation was delayed in Chandler''s tube, but patients with a predominantly “extrinsic” (tissue) system defect gave normal results even when their prothrombin time was excessively prolonged. In contrast there was an increased response to A.D.P. in the anticoagulated patients.The study emphasizes the different mechanisms of platelet aggregation, which we have referred to as coagulation-induced and A.D.P.-induced aggregation. It also shows the limitations of routine control of oral anticoagulants by prothrombin time alone, as the coagulation-induced platelet aggregation appears to be quantitatively related to the overall level of clotting factors in the intrinsic system and independent of the extrinsic system. 相似文献

Eleven of 34 women aged 15-44 with malignant phase hypertension were taking oral contraceptives at presentation. All had had normal blood pressure before starting to take the pill. In four the interval between the start of oral contraception and the diagnosis of malignant hypertension was less than four months, and in eight no other cause for the hypertension was found. Underlying renal disease and renal failure were less common among pill users than among non-users with malignant hypertension who were of similar age. No pill user became normotensive after withdrawal of the pill, but blood pressure was well controlled (diastolic less than 90 mm Hg) in three patients taking only one drug. By contrast, all 23 non-users needed two or more antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure. Ten year survival was 90% among pill users and 50% among non-users. These results suggest that oral contraceptives may be a common cause of malignant hypertension in women of child-bearing age. If the pill is stopped and underlying renal disease excluded the long term prognosis for such patients is excellent. 相似文献

The effect of oral contraception and of exercise on the renin-angiotensin system was studied in 20 highly trained athletes, of whom 10 were ingesting oral contraceptives (users) and 10 were not (nonusers), and in 24 sedentary age-matched healthy female subjects, of whom 13 were users and 11 were nonusers. No training-related effects were observed with the exception of renin substrate, which was significantly higher in the athletes. The plasma concentrations of active renin and of trypsin-activatable prorenin were significantly lower in the subjects taking oral contraceptives. Renin substrate, however, was significantly higher in the oral contraceptives group. No difference in plasma renin activity (PRA) was observed between users and nonusers. The results demonstrate the well-known estrogen-induced stimulation of renin substrate synthesis by the liver and suggest a decreased secretion of renin by the kidney. Exhaustive exercise of short duration, performed by the trained athletes only, stimulated the renin-angiotensin system. An increase in PRA and in active renin concentration was observed. The prorenin concentration did not change significantly. The magnitude of the exercise-induced changes was considerably influenced by oral contraceptive medication. Nonusers showed a significantly greater increase in PRA and active renin and total renin concentration than users. Renin substrate decreased significantly during exercise in the nonusers only. These results demonstrate that oral contraceptives have a suppressive effect on renin secretion at rest, an effect that becomes more prominent during exercise, i.e., physiological stimulation. 相似文献

The fibrinolytic system was investigated in 30 patients under oral anticoagulant therapy, and in 23 control patients not receiving oral anticoagulants. Patients under oral anticoagulant therapy had significantly higher tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen levels than patients in the control group. Mean t-PA levels before venous occlusion were 18.4 ng/ml in the anticoagulated patients vs. 7.9 ng/ml in the control patients (p less than 0.001). After venous occlusion for 10 minutes, t-PA levels were 45.0 ng/ml in the anticoagulated patients and 24.2 ng/ml in the control patients (p less than 0.01). Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) capacity was not significantly different in the two groups before venous occlusion (VO) but differed slightly (p less than 0.05) after VO. The net decrease in euglobulin lysis time (ELT) after venous occlusion (= ELT before VO - ELT after VO), indicating the relative potency of the fibrinolytic activity in blood, was also significantly higher in the anticoagulated patients (median 240 min vs. 125 min, p less than 0.001). These data indicate that oral anticoagulant therapy increases the fibrinolytic activity in blood, and thus may have an additional therapeutic effect in addition to anticoagulation. 相似文献

Data selected from the questionnaire supplied by the 14 centres of vascular surgery have been analysed. All operated patients have been followed-up for 5 years. An analysis revealed that long-term oral anticoagulant therapy following vascular grafting statistically significantly improved the outcome of surgery in comparison with patients who have not been given oral anticoagulants. There has been no such a relationship, if antiaggregation agents had been used for the treatment. 相似文献

Prothrombin is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease and plays pivotal roles in both procoagulant and anticoagulant pathway of hemostasis. In this study, prothrombin purified from porcine plasma was modified through PEGylation at N-terminal residue using 40 kDa PEG-phenyl-isothiocyanate (PIT-PEG40K). The monoPEGylated prothrombin enhanced biostability and remarkably prolonged circulating half-life in mice as compared with that of the nonmodified prothrombin. Moreover, the immunogenicity of PEGylated prothrombin in mice is significantly decreased compared to nonmodified prothrombin. These studies demonstrated the feasibility of PEGylating prothrombin as a promising way for the development of new prothrombin drugs. 相似文献

The coagulation factors and components of the fibrinolytic system were examined in 31 women with a previous history of phlebographically-verified thrombosis during the use of oral contraceptives of the combined type. Special attention was given to the histochemically-determined fibrinolytic activator content of the wall of biopsy specimens of superficial veins. None of the patients was taking contraceptives at the time of the investigation. Pathological changes, particularly in the fibrinolytic defence system, were found in most of the patients. They may be regarded as predisposed to thrombosis, and one might wonder whether these patients would sooner or later have had their thrombosis even if they had not used contraceptives. The concentration of antithrombin III was normal, indicating that this test is of no value for detecting patients predisposed to thrombosis, who should preferably not take oral contraceptives. 相似文献

Eighty-six women of proved fertility used an incremental dosage regimen of a combined oral contraceptive for a total of 570 cycles over one year. A daily tablet containing 50 μg of ethinyloestradiol and 50 μg D-norgestrel was taken for 11 days and a daily tablet containing 50 μg ethinyloestradiol and 125 μg D-norgestrel for the next 10 days. Withdrawal bleeding occurred during the tabletfree interval of seven days. The new preparation proved to be an efficient contraceptive, well tolerated, and with few side effects. Women who had gained weight while taking other oral contraceptives lost weight when they changed to the new preparation. The regimen allowed a significant reduction in the cycle dose of progestogen, and these results suggest that a further reduction in the cycle dose of both oestrogen and progestogen may be possible without losing contraceptive efficiency. 相似文献

Lymphocyte transformation, utilizing the mitotic index parameter has been assessed in newborns' cord blood, adults and women who had been on oral contraceptives and their babies. The results show that the newborns' cord blood response is significantly higher to PHA when compared with the respective adults' response. No significant difference was observed between the women taking oral contraceptives and their respective controls. 相似文献

Out of 210 women seen at the Middlesex Hospital with secondary amenorrhoea the 63 who developed it after stopping oral contraceptives were fully investigated. Five had organic disease sufficient to account for the amenorrhoea (one had severe diabetes, one a pituitary tumour, and three premature ovarian failure); two patients had galactorrhoea (one of whom also had the pituitary tumour); two had anorexia nervosa.Of the 63 women 40 (63%) had suffered from amenorrhoea or prolonged or irregular menstrual cycles before taking the pill, and this suggested that combined oestrogen-progestogen oral contraceptives should be used with caution for women with irregular menstruation.Nineteen patients wished to become pregnant and 12 have so far done so after treatment with clomiphene or gonadotrophins.In another study 204 women recorded when their first menstrual cycle occurred after stopping the pill. Seventy-four had a cycle longer than five weeks but only five exceeded three months, and only one of the five had more than six months'' amenorrhoea. These results confirm that the incidence of amenorrhoea after stopping oral contraceptives is low. 相似文献

The results of a previous study of the use of oral contraceptives by married women discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of thromboembolic disease in the years 1964–6 were reported by us last year. The present paper adds results relating to patients discharged during 1967 and a few data, that could not be sought previously, for patients discharged with cerebral or coronary thrombosis from three of the hospitals in the earlier period.Of 84 patients with deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism 42 (50%) had used oral contraceptives during the month preceding the onset of their illness, while only 23 of the 168 controls (14%) had done so. No differences in risk were found either for the types of preparation or for the duration of use. After allowance for age and height, the patients with venous thromboembolism were about 10 lb. (4,535 g.) heavier than the control patients, irrespective of whether they were using oral contraceptives or not. No appreciable difference was found between the smoking habits of patients with and without venous thromboembolism treated during 1967, nor between women who were using oral contraceptives and those who were not. The trend in hospital admissions for venous thromboembolism with time corresponded to the trend in the use of oral contraceptives, and there was no evidence to suggest that the number of admissions was affected by publicity about the risk of using the preparations. Of 19 patients with cerebral thrombosis 11 (58%) had been using oral contraceptives, compared with an expected figure of 3.5 from the experience of the control subjects. All the published data (clinical, angiographic, and post-mortem) show that the thrombosis affects the cerebral arteries rather than the cerebral veins. Of 17 patients with coronary thrombosis 2 (12%) had been using oral contraceptives, compared with an expected figure of 2.1. The patients with coronary thrombosis smoked more than the control patients and were, on average, 8.3 lb. (3,765 g.) heavier than control women of the same age and height.The new evidence strengthens the belief that oral contraceptives are a cause of venous thromboembolism and cerebral thrombosis but does not indicate that they are a cause of coronary thrombosis. 相似文献

Warfarin sodium was compared with bishydroxycoumarin (Dicumarol) in 16 patients on long-term anticoagulant therapy. When the patients were changed from bishydroxycoumarin to warfarin sodium there was no improvement in control of their prothrombin times. It was found that 5 mg. of warfarin had slightly less effect than 50 mg. of bishydroxycoumarin. It was concluded that the drugs were equally effective in long-term anticoagulant therapy. The metabolism of the ingested drug was more important than absorption in determining the control of the patients'' prothrombin times. 相似文献

In a cross sectional study of 137 women of childbearing age (16-40) the effects of normal pregnancy, hypertensive pregnancy, and oral contraceptives on red cell electrolyte content and sodium efflux rates were examined and the results compared with values in a control group of normotensive, non-pregnant women. Efflux rate constants were significantly increased in normotensive pregnancy and in women taking oral contraceptives. This was associated with a significant increase in sodium permeability in the contraceptive group. A much larger increase in sodium permeability and efflux rate constant was seen in the hypertensive group. The results permit a hypothesis that the hormonal changes induced by pregnancy and oral contraceptives increase membrane permeability to sodium and stimulate sodium efflux. The rise in blood pressure associated with use of oral contraceptives may have a similar aetiology to that occurring in pregnancy induced hypertension. 相似文献

Factor VIIa-tissue factor complex (fVIIa/TF) and factor XIa (fXIa) play important roles in the initiation and amplification of coagulation, respectively. They may be good targets for the development of novel anticoagulants to treat and prevent thromboembolic disease. In this study, we cloned, expressed and identified a novel anticoagulant peptide, AcaNAP10, from the blood-feeding nematode Ancylostoma caninum. AcaNAP10 showed potent anticoagulant activity and doubled the activated partial thromboplastin and prothrombin times at estimated concentrations of 92.9 nM and 28.8 nM, respectively. AcaNAP10 demonstrated distinct mechanisms of action compared with known anticoagulants. It inhibited fXIa and fVIIa/TF with IC50 values of 25.76 ± 1.06 nM and 123.9 ± 1.71 nM, respectively. This is the first report on an anticoagulant that can inhibit both fXIa and fVIIa/TF. This anticoagulant peptide may be an alternative molecule for the development of novel anticoagulants. 相似文献

Background
Both prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE: deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary emboli (PE)) with anticoagulants are associated with significant risks of major and fatal hemorrhage. Anticoagulation treatment of VTE has been the standard of care in the USA since before 1962 when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began requiring randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) showing efficacy, so efficacy trials were never required for FDA approval. In clinical trials of 'high VTE risk' surgical patients before the 1980s, anticoagulant prophylaxis was clearly beneficial (fatal pulmonary emboli (FPE) without anticoagulants = 0.99%, FPE with anticoagulants = 0.31%). However, observational studies and RCTs of 'high VTE risk' surgical patients from the 1980s until 2010 show that FPE deaths without anticoagulants are about one-fourth the rate that occurs during prophylaxis with anticoagulants (FPE without anticoagulants = 0.023%, FPE while receiving anticoagulant prophylaxis = 0.10%). Additionally, an FPE rate of about 0.012% (35/28,400) in patients receiving prophylactic anticoagulants can be attributed to 'rebound hypercoagulation' in the two months after stopping anticoagulants. Alternatives to anticoagulant prophylaxis should be explored.Methods and Findings
The literature concerning dietary influences on VTE incidence was reviewed. Hypotheses concerning the etiology of VTE were critiqued in relationship to the rationale for dietary versus anticoagulant approaches to prophylaxis and treatment. Epidemiological evidence suggests that a diet with ample fruits and vegetables and little meat may substantially reduce the risk of VTE; vegetarian, vegan, or Mediterranean diets favorably affect serum markers of hemostasis and inflammation. The valve cusp hypoxia hypothesis of DVT/VTE etiology is consistent with the development of VTE being affected directly or indirectly by diet. However, it is less consistent with the rationale of using anticoagulants as VTE prophylaxis. For both prophylaxis and treatment of VTE, we propose RCTs comparing standard anticoagulation with low VTE risk diets, and we discuss the statistical considerations for an example of such a trial.Conclusions
Because of (a) the risks of biochemical anticoagulation as anti-VTE prophylaxis or treatment, (b) the lack of placebo-controlled efficacy data supporting anticoagulant treatment of VTE, (c) dramatically reduced hospital-acquired FPE incidence in surgical patients without anticoagulant prophylaxis from 1980 - 2010 relative to the 1960s and 1970s, and (d) evidence that VTE incidence and outcomes may be influenced by diet, randomized controlled non-inferiority clinical trials are proposed to compare standard anticoagulant treatment with potentially low VTE risk diets. We call upon the U. S. National Institutes of Health and the U.K. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to design and fund those trials. 相似文献20.

Administration of antimicrobial agents to subjects taking oral contraceptives has been reported to lead to contraceptive failure and subsequent pregnancy. In women taking oral contraceptives antimicrobial agents could have an effect on both endogenous hormone levels and on the metabolism of the exogenously administered steroids. To investigate these possibilities, antimicrobial agents were administered for short periods to normal women taking various steroid drugs: Megestrol acetate (MA), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), norethisterone (NET), a combination of NET and ethinylestradiol (EE) or a combination of lynestrenol and EE. During ampicillin administration the 24-h morning plasma concentrations of MA, MPA and NET were increased compared to the control values. In the MA and MPA experiments the afternoon values were determined and also found to be increased. In the subjects taking oral contraceptives plasma EE concentration showed a tendency to decrease during ampicillin administration on the third, fourth or fifth morning of ampicillin administration, but was never lower than the pretreatment values. In other experiments plasma estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2), urinary total E1, E2 and estriol (E3) and fecal unconjugated and conjugated E1, E2 or E3 were determined by RIA before, during and after administration of oxytetracycline (2 X 500 mg/day for 5 days) to 5 young male subjects. Furthermore urinary and fecal estrogens were determined in 1 male subject after administration of erythromycin for 6 days and in 2 normally menstruating women after tetracycline and trimethoprim administration, respectively. During treatment with antimicrobial drugs an increase in the excretion of fecal conjugated and, with the exception of the oxytetracycline experiments, also of unconjugated estrogens paralleled a decrease in urinary estrogen excretion, especially for E2 and E3. In both urine and feces the E1/E2 and E1 + E2/E3 ratios increased due to diminished reductive metabolism of estrogens in the gut. No significant effects on plasma unconjugated estrogen concentrations were observed. The results suggest that the intestinal bacterial flora plays a significant role in estrogen metabolism. However, further studies are necessary, because our results do not explain why administration of antibiotics may cause contraceptive failure. 相似文献
