title: [Effects on the coagulation-fibrinolysis system of a single oral dose of mesoglycan at the beginning and at the end of a prolonged treatment in man].
abstract: We evaluated the mesoglycan effects on the coagulative-fibrinolytic system in 10 patients with euglobulin lysis time (ELT) over 180 minutes. A mathematical model was used to analyze such phenomena. 100 mg of mesoglycan was administered to 10 patients for 14 days. The following parameters were evaluated: tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), euglobulin lysis time (ELT), plasminogen, alpha 2 antiplasmin, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thrombin clotting time (TCT), and fibrinogen. Those parameters were evaluated on the first and on the last day of the mesoglycan treatment at the following times: 0 (basal), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours. Our results suggest that the mesoglycan is able to reduce a profibrinolytic activity without any influence on the coagulative-fibrinolytic system, at the baseline conditions and after chronic administration. The pharmacodynamic study and the statistical analysis using our mathematic model resulted to be statistically significant.
