  • Title: [Postmortem fibrinolysis and its biological characteristics].
    Author: Bratchik AM.
    Journal: Probl Gematol Pereliv Krovi; 1975 Jun; 20(6):18-22. PubMed ID: 124429.
    Abstract:
    Fibrinolysic cadaveric blood studied after a rapid death (strangulation asphyxia, traumatic and sudden death) contained no plasmin--an enzyme of fibrin destruction, and no plasminogen--its inactive precursor. In the absence of plasmin and plasminogen of interest is a high content of plasminogen activator. An increase in the content of the activator in the fibrinolysic blood exists along with a marked proactivator level. A relationshp between the concentration of the activator and the proactivator in this blood indirectly pointed to the intravascular (from the pre-existing blood proactivator of the living), and not the tissue origin of the activator. Activation of plasma proactivator is caused by the entrance of tissue lysokinases into the circulation.
