[The hemostatic properties of the cerebrospinal fluid]. / Issledovanie gemostaticheskikh svoistv spinnomozgovoi zhidkosti.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) thromboplastic, anticoagulative, and fibrinolytic properties were examined in patients with brain injuries of different etiology (traumas, infarctions, hemorrhages, meningitides or meningoencephalitides), basing on CSF coagulograms. CSF thromboplastic activity and decreased anticoagulative activity were detected in all cases of brain injuries. Increased fibrinolytic activity of CSF correlated well with the lethal outcome in brain damage. The pathogenesis and validity of CSF hemostatic properties in patients with different brain injuries are discussed.

[Intravascular thrombocyte aggregation in acute cerebral circulatory disorders]. / Vnutrisosudistaia agregatsiia trombotsitov pri ostrykh narusheniiakh mozgovogo krovoobrashcheniia.

On the basis of dynamic examinations of 52 patients with various forms of cerebrovascular disorders it has been found, that intravascular aggregation of platelets takes place in all forms of cerebral stroke (brain infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoidal hemorrhage) and in transitory disturbances of cerebral circulation. The intravascular aggregation of platelets and activation of the blood coagulation system are more marked in cases of cerebral hemorrhage, as compared with other forms of cerebral stroke. The degree of the platelet intravascular aggregation is directly proportional to the stroke gravity, the thromboembolic complications, and the progress of chronic cardiovascular insufficiency. The intravascular aggregation of platelets is considered to be one of the pathogenetic factors of cerebrovascular diseases.
