Preventive effect of low molecular weight heparin on coagulative disturbance in rabbits with trauma infection / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of low molecular weight heparin or tranexamic acid in the rabbits with hypercoagulation induced by impact injury and intravenous infusion of the endotoxin. Methods Combination of impact injury and endotoxin was created by strike on rabbit chest with type BIM-Ⅱ biological impact machine and injection of endotoxin via vein.Thirty-two male New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups in a completely random design as followsimpact injury combined with endotoxin without treatment group(control group),treatment with low molecular weight heparin(L group),treatment with tranexamic acid(TA group),and treatment with low molecular weight heparin and tranexamie acid(L+TA group).The changes of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were observed by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;changes of antithrombin-Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)activity,tissue factor(TF)and tissue factor pathway inhibitors(TFPI)were detected by the chromogenic substrate method chromozym Pthe content of fibrinogen was observed by coagulation analyzer.The lung and kidney were removed from the experimental animals at 24 hours post impact injury forhistopathologic observation. Results In the control group,the activity of AT-Ⅲ was decreased obviously.while the content of fibrinogen and the activity of TF and TFPl were increased,with formation of the thrombosis in the kidney after injection of PLS.Compared with control group,the activity of TF and the content of IL-1β and IL-6 were reduced but the TFPI was increased in the L group,which resulted in a decrease of TF/TFPI ratio.with decrease of formation of the micro-thrombosis in the organs.The content of IL-1β and IL-6 in the TA group were reduced,which was still higher than that in tIle L group.In the TA group.the activity of IF and TFPI Was lower than that in the L group and control group,with higher TF/TFPI ratio than the L group.The frequency of thrombosis increased in pulmonary artery and other important organs.The content of IL-1β and IL-6 in the L+TA group wag lower than that in the L group.In the L+TA group.the activity ofTF was lower than that inthe L group and control group,but the activity of TFPI was higher than that in the L group and control group.with lower TF/TFPI ratio than the L group.There found no increase of thrombus in the pulmonary arterial and other important organs. Conclusions Besides anticoagulation function,the low molecular weight heparin can inhibit the inflanunation reaction,reduce the release of TF and attenuate the coagulation reaction.On the basis of treatment with low molecular weight heparin,application of the tranexamic acid will not lead to the formation of thrombus,but the only use of the tranexamic acid would have the contrary results.The rtsults of the study provide a theoretical and experimental basis for clinical diagnosis and prevention of hypercoagulation induced by injury and infection.
