ABSTRACT
Effects of intra-amniotic instillation of hypertonic saline and prostaglandin F2 alpha for medical termination of pregnancy were studied. Fibrinolytic activity significantly increased at 4 hr and 24 hr after hypertonic saline but only at 24 hrs after prostaglandin. There was no significant change in prothrombin time after hypertonic saline but significant increase was observed after prostaglandin. In both the cases serum sodium level did not show any significant change. Serum potassium level significantly decreased at 24 hrs after hypertonic saline but no change was observed after prostaglandin.

Effect of one day fermented milk (butter milk) was studied in 18 medical students between 18 to 20 years of age. Results showed that there is a significant decrease in fibrinolytic activity two hours after giving butter milk and the effect persists even at the end of six hours.

PIP: 2 oral contraceptives (Primovular 21 and Deoleuton 21) caused a statistically significant lowering of the blood fibrinolytic activity in 14 of 20 women after only 1 month of treatment. It is suggested that this finding may prove of considerable importance for early detection of cases which may be prone to thrombotic episodes.^ieng
