The effects of residual platelets in plasma on plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1-related assays. [PDF]
Due to controversial evidence in the literature pertaining to the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in platelets, we examined the effects of residual platelets present in plasma (a potential pre-analytical variable) on various plasminogen ...

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1, Cell Senescence, and Aging-Related Diseases [PDF]
Cellular senescence, including replicative senescence (RS) and stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS), is a state of the permanent arrest of cell growth, which can occur in proliferative cells and post-mitotic cells.

Adaption of the plasmin generation assay to enhance sensitivity to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and establishment of sex-specific reference values in human plasma [PDF]
Background: Pharmacologic modifiers of fibrinolysis are used to modulate bleeding and thrombosis. Characterization of a sensitive plasmin generation (PG) assay to identify abnormal fibrinolytic states and monitor antifibrinolytic medication may improve ...

Impaired Fibrinolysis in the Pathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever [PDF]
The mechanisms contributing to bleeding complications in dengue hemorrhagic fever were studied by investigating the pattern of activation of the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems in 50 children with severe dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Increased PAI-1 plasma levels and risk of death from dengue: no association with the 4G/5G promoter polymorphism [PDF]
Background: Dengue virus infected patients have high plasminogen activator inhibitor type I (PAI-1) plasma concentrations. Whether the insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism in the promotor region of the PAI-1 gene is associated with increased PAI-1 ...

Association of fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1
As the state of hyperfibrinogenemia in diabetes patients occurs due to hyperglycemia which also activates the coagulative cascade ultimately stimulating hepatic fibrinogen synthesis and thus increases clotting factors and PAI-1 levels in the blood ...

Effect of dsRNA on Mesangial Cell Synthesis of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 1 and Tissue Plasminogen Activator [PDF]
Background/Aims: Viral infections are a major problem worldwide and many of them are complicated by virally induced glomerulonephritides. Progression of kidney disease to renal failure is mainly attributed to the development of renal fibrosis ...

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.
