Fibrinolytic activity in blood and cerebrospinal fluid in subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial saccular aneurysm before and during EACA treatment.

10 patients suffering from intracranial aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been treated during the acute pre-and postoperatory phase with omega-aminocaproic acid. The blood and the cerebrospinal fluid of the treated patients have been analyzed in order to study fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDP) and fibrinolytic activity (FA). The results so obtained show only an alteration of local fibrinolytic processes either inside or around the aneurysmatic clot: there were no alterations of the systemic FA. Furthermore, monitoring of FDP and FA was a very useful tool in those patients who took advantage of the treatment with omega-aminocaproic acid which protected them from rebleeding.

[Protein synthesis in vivo in muscles of the growing lamb].

The relationship between incorporation of intravenously injected 14C lysine and specific radio-activity of precursor was used to estimate protein synthesis in muscle of growing lambs. The rate of protein synthesis per unit of muscle weight in Supraspinatus and Extensor digitorum longus decreased strongly from one week of age to puberty (10 weeks); afterwards it decreased in supraspinatus and increased slightly in Extensor digitorum longus. The rate of protein synthesis increase in muscle protein weight was constant during the whole experiment (1 week-16 weeks). In preruminant Lambs )1 week-5 weeks) the rate of protein synthesis per unit of muscle weight decreased; however, due to the increase in muscle weight, the rate of protein synthesis in whole muscle remained relatively constant. In order Lambs the rate of protein synthesis in whole muscle decreased. The turnover time of protein increased with age. These results give some explanation on muscular development of Lambs.
