Aim. To evaluate the hemostatic effect of fibrin monomer after its intravenous administration at different time periods in experimental trauma. Methods. In the experiments, in a placebo-controlled study, hemostatic and hemostasiological effects of systemic use of fibrin monomer were studied at different time periods after its administration (in 5 min, 1 h and 3 h) in 97 male rabbits of the Chinchilla breed in the controlled liver injury model. Results. A pronounced hemostatic effect was demonstrated for fibrin monomer used at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg demonstrated by a 6.3-fold decrease of blood loss volume (% of circulating blood volume) compared to placebo on the background of the intravenous preventive fibrin monomer administration 1 hour prior to controlled liver injury. Fibrin monomer administration at a stated dose was not accompanied by significant changes in haemocoagulative parameters including measurement of platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, echitox time, fibrinogen concentration, level of soluble fibrin monomer complexes, D-dimer content, and antithrombin III activity. The effect of fibrin monomer is probably realized through some effectors, the nature of which has not yet been studied. The obtained results allow choosing the optimal interval between intravenous administrations of fibrin monomer and controlled liver injury for further study of the mechanisms of its hemostatic action. Conclusion. Fibrin monomer in small doses (0.25 mg/kg) is able to exert a pronounced hemostatic effect with its systemic administration 1 hour prior to the injury without significant changes in haemocoagulative parameters.
Актуальность. В проведенных ранее исследованиях на «гепариновой» модели посттравматической кровопотери был продемонстрирован гемостатический эффект экзогенно вводимого фибрин-мономера (ФМ) (доза 0,25 мг/кг), сопоставимый по выраженности с применением протамина сульфата (ПС), что не получило своего объяснения из-за отсутствия данных морфологического исследования в зоне травмы печени. Цель. Сопоставить гемостатические, гемостазиологические и морфологические последствия использования ФМ, при его внутривенном введении в дозе 0,25 мг/кг, у гепаринизированных животных, после дозированной травмы печени. Материалы и методы. На 77 здоровых кроликах породы «Шиншилла» моделировали гипокоагуляцию нефракционированным гепарином (НГ) в/в в дозе 150 ед/кг. Профилактику интраоперационных кровотечений осуществляли введением ФМ в/в в дозе 0,25 мг/кг, за один час до травмы, и ПС в/в в дозе 1,5 мг/кг за 10 мин до травмы. После нанесения дозированной травмы печени кровопотерю оценивали в % от объема циркулирующей крови. Исследовали также содержание тромбоцитов в крови, активированное парциальное тромбопластиновое время (АПТВ), уровень фибриногена и количество D-димера, параметры калиброванной тромбографии. Ткани печени в области раневой поверхности для гистологических исследований получали после спонтанной остановки кровотечения. Результаты. Гепаринизированным животным была свойственна повышенная кровопотеря на фоне выраженной гипокоагуляции и снижении генерации тромбина. Применение антидота НГ - ПС, минимизировало потерю крови (снижение кровопотери в 4,0 раза по сравнению с плацебо) и приводило к восстановлению гемостатического потенциала. Согласно морфологическим исследованиям, это достигалось увеличением толщины тромботических масс (в 15,1 раза по сравнению с плацебо). В не меньшей степени гемостатический эффект был достигнут при замене ПС на ФМ (уменьшение кровопотери в 5,1 раза по сравнению с плацебо). Данные эффекты не сопровождались коррекцией гипокоагуляционного сдвига и восстановлением генерации тромбина. В последнем случае определено меньшее по выраженности фибринообразование в зоне травмы (толщина фибрина 55,2 мкм против 201,8 мкм при применении ПС; р < 0,001). Еще одной отличительной особенностью явилось отсутствие фибриллярной структуры фибрина и наличие в тромботических массах многочисленных тромбоцитов, тогда как их число в просветах сосудов рядом с раневой поверхностью было минимальным. Заключение. Приведенные данные позволяют обозначить возможные механизмы и пути остановки постравматического кровотечения при использовании гепарина. Background. In previous studies using the heparin model of post-traumatic blood loss, a hemostatic effect of exogenous fibrin monomer (FM) (0.25 mg/kg) was observed, which was comparable in intensity to the effect of protamine sulfate (PS) and remained unexplained due to the lack of morphological study data for the area of liver injury. Aim. To compare hemostatic, hemostasiological, and morphological consequences of intravenous administration of FM 0.25 mg/kg following controlled liver injury in heparinized animals. Methods. Hypocoagulation was simulated by i.v. administration of unfractionated heparin (UFH) 150 U/kg to 77 healthy Chinchilla rabbits. Intraoperative bleeding was prevented by i.v. administration of FM 0.25 mg/kg one hour prior to the injury or PS 1.5 mg/kg 10 minutes prior to the injury. After the controlled liver injury, blood loss was measured and expressed in % of the circulating blood volume. Blood platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen concentration, D-dimer concentration, and data of calibrated thrombography were also studied. Samples of liver tissue from the wound surface area were collected for histology after spontaneous arrest of bleeding. Results. Heparinized animals were characterized by increased blood loss due to pronounced hypocoagulation and decreased thrombin production. The use of the UFH antidote, PS, minimized the blood loss (by 75% compared to placebo) and resulted in restoration of the hemostatic potential. According to results of the morphological study, this effect was due to increased thickness of thrombotic masses (15.1 times compared to placebo). At least equal hemostatic effect was obtained when PS was replaced with FM (80% decrease in blood loss compared to placebo). These effects were not associated with correction of the hypocoagulation shift or recovery of the thrombin generation. In this process, fibrin formation in the injury area was less pronounced (fibrin thickness 55.2 µm vs 201.8 µm with PS; p < 0.001). Another distinctive feature was the absence of the fibrillar structure of fibrin and the presence of numerous platelets in thrombotic masses while the platelet number in the lumen of blood vessels near the wound surface was minimal.
Введение. Ранее было показано, что фибринмономер (ФМ) в низких дозировках обладает системным гемостатическим действием в условиях дозированной травмы. Авторами выдвинута гипотеза, согласно которой ФМ способен оказывать регулирующее гемостатическое действие in vivo на фоне сниженного гемостатического потенциала. Цель исследования: изучение системных гемостатических и гемостазиологических эффектов ФМ на фоне дозированной травмы печени при гипокоагуляции, обусловленной приемом варфарина. Материалы и методы. В работе использовали 40 кроликов породы Шиншилла. Для индукции кумаринобусловленной гипокоагуляции животным per os вводили варфарин в дозе 0,4 0,5 мг/кг 14 дней до достижения международного нормализованного отношения (МНО) более 2,0. Далее животным в краевую вену уха вводили концентрат факторов протромбино вого комплекса (КФПК) в дозе 40 ЕД/кг, ФМ в дозе 0,25 мг/кг или плацебо. Через 1 ч после введения препаратов наносили травму печени и оценивали кровопотерю (в процентах от объема циркулирующей крови). Исследовали число тромбоцитов, активированное парциальное тромбопластиновое время, МНО, содержание фибриногена и Ддимера, оценивали результаты тромбоэластографии крови. Результаты. Объем кровопотери в группах животных после внутривенного введения ФМ и КФПК на фоне приема варфарина был в 9,1 раза и 6,7 раза меньше, соответственно, по сравнению с группой плацебо, получавшей тот же антикоагулянт. Вместе с тем ФМ не влиял на параметры коагулограммы (отсутствие видимого гемостазиологического эффекта) и тромбоэластограммы, тогда как применение КФПК в качестве антидота варфарина сопровождалось нормализацией параметров тромбоэластометрии и коррекцией гипокоагуляционного сдвига по МНО. Заключение. Установлено, что ФМ способен проявлять свое системное гемостатическое действие в условиях сниженного тромбинообразования, обусловленного нарушением синтеза витамин Кзависимых факторов свертывания крови. Данное действие реализуется без признаков восстановления гемостатического равновесия. Introduction. It was shown earlier that fibrinmonomer (FM) in low doses had a systemic hemostatic effect in a controlled injury condition. The authors suggest that FM is able to exert a regulating hemostatic effect in vivo under reduced hemostatic potential. Aim: to study the systemic hemostatic and hemostasiological effects of FM under controlled liver injury during hypocoagulation caused by warfarin administration. Materials and methods. In this study 40 Chinchilla rabbits were used. For the induction of coumarinmediated hypocoagulation, animals were administered per os warfarin at a dose of 0.4 0.5 mg/kg for 14 days, until an international normalized ratio (INR) was more than 2.0. Subsequently, a prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) at a dose of 40 U/kg, FM at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg or placebo were administered into the marginal ear vein of the animals. An hour later, a liver injury was inflicted and blood loss was assessed (in percents of the circulating blood volume). The number of platelets, activated partial thromboplastin time, INR, levels of fibrinogen and Ddimer were studied and the results of blood thromboelastography were evaluated. Results. Blood loss volume in animals groups after intravenous administration of FM and PPC, under warfarin reception, was 9.1 times and 6.7 times less, respectively, compared to the placebo group receiving the same anticoagulant. However, FM did not affect on coagulogram parameters (no visible hemostasiological effect) and thromboelastogram, whereas the use of PPC as warfarin antidote was accompanied by the normalization of thromboelastometry parameters and hypocoagulation shift correction according to INR. Conclusion. It was found that FM able to manifest its systemic hemostatic effect in conditions of reduced thrombin formation caused by impaired synthesis of vitamin Kdependent blood coagulation factors. This effect is implemented without any signs of recovery of hemostatic balance.
INTRODUCTION: Earlier, an ability of exogenous fibrin monomer (FM) introduced at low doses to considerably limit posttraumatic blood loss was established by us on an experimental model of warfarin coagulopathy in vivo. However, the morphologic peculiarities of fibrin formation in the wound area were not considered. AIM: To compare morphologic, hemostasiologic and hemostatic data based on the results of systemic application of exogenous FM to interpret their effects in the model of posttraumatic bleeding with the underlying intake of warfarin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the work, Chinchilla male rabbits were used. A comparative analysis of hemostasiologic effects and of morphologic picture of the surface of the liver in the wound area was conducted after a dosed trauma, with a preliminary systemic introduction of FM (0.25 mg/kg intravenously) or a concentrate of prothrombin complex factors (40 IU/kg intravenously) with the underlying intake of warfarin by animals (0.40.5 mg/kg/day per os for 2 weeks). RESULTS: Introduction of FM in warfarinised animals in the conditions of a dosed experimental liver injury promoted a hemostatic effect comparable with that of a concentrate of prothrombin complex factors. Both hemostatic drugs led to intense fibrin formation that reduced posttraumatic blood loss. The use of FM was associated with increase in the thickness of thrombotic deposits and fibrin fibers in the wound surface in comparison with placebo by 4.0 and 1.6 times, respectively (р 0.000001). This process actively involved platelets, which led to 1.7 times reduction of their quantity in the lumen of the blood vessels in the wound vicinity (р 0.0002). No effect of FM on systemic hemostatic reactions in venous blood was found, in contrast to concentrate of prothrombin complex factors. CONCLUSION: Exogenous FM can produce a local hemostatic effect in the conditions of dosed experimental trauma and coagulopathy induced by warfarin intake. The hemostatic effect was mediated by intense thrombosis on the wound surface with the active recruitment of platelets in the process. The peculiarities of the demonstrated effects of FM may be mediated though the mechanisms of its action that have not yet been identified, which necessitates continuation of the research in this direction.
