Objective To detect the effects of plasmin combined with hyaluronidase or hexafluoride SF6 on inducing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Methods Eighteen young pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into group A, B, and C with 6 rabbits in each. All of the right eyes were the experimental eyes and the left ones was the control. The right eyes in group A, B, and C were injected with plasmin 1 U, plasmin 1 U and hyaluronidase 20 U, and plasmin 1 U and SF6 0.5 ml, respectively; while all of the left eyes underwent intra-vitreous injection with balanced salt solution 0.1 ml. The eyes were observed by indirect ophthalmoscopy, slit lamp examination, biomicroscopy, B-ultrasonography, and electroretinography (ERG) before and after injection respectively. At last, the retinal sections were examined by light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Results The results of scanning microscopy showed incomplete PVD in 2 (33.3%) experimental eyes in group A, and complete PVD in 4 (66.7%) experimental eyes in both group B and C, and the positive rate of PVD in both group B and C significantly differed from that in group A (Plt;0.05). The b-wave amplitudes of ERG in the three groups after injection didn’t differ much from that in the control group or before the injection（Pgt;0.05）. The results of transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy indicated unchanged retinal structure. Conclusions Compared with the application of only plasmin, plasmin combined with hyaluronidase or hexafluoride SF6 can induce complete PVD more efficiently and do no harm to the retina.

Objective To determine whether kringle 4-5 could inhibit choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in mice induced by argon laser photocoagulat ion. Methods Fundus laser photocoagulation was performed on C57BL/6J mice to induce CNV. In treatment group, 20 μg (low dosage group) and 50 μg (high dosage group) kringle 4-5 were injected retrobulbarly after photocoagulation. In control group, equilibrium liquid was injected retrobulbarly. Choroidal neovascularization was evaluated on the 7th and 14th day after photocoagulation by fundus fluorescein ang iography. The mice were killed on the 14th day after photocoagulation, the lesions were evaluated histologically and immunohistochemically, and the expression of CD105 was detected. The Expression of VEGF and bFGF was detected by immunohist ochemistry on the 4th day after photocoagulation.Results The incidence of CNV was 64.3% in control group, 51.2%（P＜0.05）in low dosage group, and 44. 1% (P＜0.01) in high dosage group. The CNV lesions were smaller in kringle 4-5 injected eyes in a dose-dependent manner and the number of proliferative vascular endothelial cells in the subretinal membrane of the treated eyes was smaller than that of the control eyes. There was no significant difference of the expression of VEGF and bFGF between the mice in control and treatment group.Conclus ions Kringle 4-5 could inhibit the development of choroidal neovascularization in the experimental mice model.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：201-268)
Intravitreal fibrin clots were produced by intravitreal injection of 0.2 ml autologous plasma in 18 rabbit eyes. Subsequently these eyes were treated by intravitreal injection of either tissue plasminogin activator(t-PA) or saline. In the t-PA(12.5mu;g) group(n=10),intravitreal fibrin clots of 6 eyes cleared up within 6 hours, and that of the other 4 eyes within 1 day. In the saline group( n=7), the complete clearallce was not seen after 7 days. The difference of time between two groups was significant ( P＜0. 05), and no evidence of toxic effect was observed as measured by slit-lamp biomicrocopy, ERG, light microcopy and transmission electron microscopy.One eye treated with 100mu;g t-PA also resulted in a total clearance within 6 hours,but retinal toxicity was demonstrated with ophthalmoscopy and light microscopy. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:14-16）
The activities of tissue- type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAl) in plasm from 61 patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) were measured by using chromatogenous substrate s-2390 assay.The results showed that the t-PA activity in the patients with RVO were decreased (1.69plusmn;0. 56IU/ml, P＜0.01) and PAI activity increased (8.80plusmn;1.60AU/ml, P＜0. 01) comparing with health subjects 2.07plusmn;0.40IU/ml and 7.33plusmn;0.67AU/ml respectively. Among the patients, t-PA activity in the patients with ischemic retinopathy was more obviously decreased (1.35plusmn;0.43IU/ml, P＜0.01) and the activity of PAI was increased (9.35plusmn;1.37AU/mi) comparing with those patients suffering from nonischemic retinopathy (the activities of t-PA and PAI were 1.92 + 0.53IU/ml and 8.42plusmn;1.29AU/ml respectively, Plt;0.01). In addition, these changes were getting more obvious with the degree of severity of the disease. These results indicated that there was disorder in the balance between t-PA and PAI in patients with RVO,which my play an important role in the course of occurrence and development of RVO, especially in ischemic type. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:71-73）
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of plasminogen activator assist external ventricular drainage in cerebral hemorrhage.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBM and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of plasminogen activator assist external ventricular drainage in cerebral hemorrhage from inception to March 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 23 RCTs involving 1 560 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the blank control or placebo, the addition of plasminogen activator urokinase after puncture and drainage could improve the clinical efficacy (RR=1.36, 95%CI 1.26 to 1.47, P<0.000 01), shorten removal time of hematoma (MD=−3.37, 95%CI −3.89 to −2.85, P<0.000 01), reduce postoperative re-bleeding rate (Peto OR=0.30, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.51, P<0.000 01), reduce the incidence of intracranial infection (Peto OR=0.47, 95%CI 0.25 to 0.87, P=0.02), and reduce mortality (Peto OR=0.45, 95%CI 0.27 to 0.76, P=0.003). The differences were statistically significant between two groups.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the combination with urokinase can improve curative effect of hypertension cerebral hemorrhage patients with external ventricular drainage. In reducing hemorrhage, intracranial infection and mortality, urokinase also has great curative effect. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
Objective To reveal the fibrillar network in vitreous and the effect of plasmin on this network.Methods 20 vitreous gels of freshly slaughtered pigs were divided into 2 groups, the gels in first group were digested by 3 Uplasmin (3 U/ml) at 37c for 24 hours respectively, the second group received the same PBS as control. After digestion, gels were fixed in neutral buffered formalin solution. Samples from vitreous base, cortex and the central region were observed by the technique of freeze etching electron microscopy.Results In vitreous collagen fibril network was in a three-dimensional array, collagen fibril density showed marked differences, central vitreous had the sparse fibril density, the cortex denser and the basal vitreous densest. After digestion by plasmin, the collagen fibrillar network was destructed.Conclusion Collagen fibrils in vitreous present spatial arrangement regularly, plasmin can lead to destruction of the fibrillar network.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：179-181)
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of throm bolytic drug infusion via carotid artery on experimental central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and observe the changes of fibrinolytic activity in the system ic circulation. Methods To dissolve the thrombi in 15 cats (30 eyes) with CRAO established by laser irradiating a branch of central retinal a rtery after intravenous injection of photochemical drugs, urokinase (UK) was dir ectly infused via carotid artery in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group A or intravenously injected in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group B, and isotonic saline solution was intra venously injected in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group C respectively. The patency of the artery was evaluated by fundus fluorescein angiography. Moreover, the changes of fibrinolitic activity in the blood were observed by blood biochemical examination. Results Four hours after UK infusion, the complete repatency proportion was 80% (5 cats 8 eyes) in group A, and 50% (4 cats 5 eyes) in group B. There was significant difference between the two groups. Besides, after the infusion, the indexes of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and anti-fibrinolysis in group A were better than those in group B and C (Plt;0.01). Conclusion In the treatment of experimental CRAO, thrombolytic drug infusion via carotid artery is better and more effective than via intravenous injection, which may provide a new method of thrombolytic drug delivery and animal models.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of intravenous thrombolytic therapy for central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) with poor effect after the treatment of arterial thrombolytic therapy. Methods Twenty-four CRAO patients (24 eyes) with poor effect after the treatment of arterial thrombolytic therapy were enrolled in this study. There were 11 males and 13 females. The age was ranged from 35 to 80 years, with the mean age of (56.7±15.6) years. There were 11 right eyes and 13 left eyes. The visual acuity was tested by standard visual acuity chart. The arm-retinal circulation time (A-Rct) and the filling time of retinal artery and its branches (FT) were detected by fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). The visual acuity was ranged from light sensation to 0.5, with the average of 0.04±0.012. The A-Rct was ranged from 18.0 s to 35.0 s, with the mean of (29.7±5.8) s. The FT was ranged from 4.0 s to 16.0 s, with the mean of (12.9±2.3) s. All patients were treated with urokinase intravenous thrombolytic therapy. The dosage of urokinase was 3000 U/kg, 2 times/d, adding 250 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride intravenous drip, 2 times between 8 - 10 h, and continuous treatment of FFA after 5 days. Comparative analysis was performed on the visual acuity of the patients before and after treatment, and the changes of A-Rct and FT. Results After intravenous thrombolytic therapy, the A-Rct was ranged from 16.0 s to 34.0 s, with the mean of (22.4±5.5) s. Among 24 eyes, the A-Rct was 27.0 - 34.0 s in 4 eyes (16.67%), 18.0 - 26.0 s in 11 eyes (45.83%); 16.0 - 17.0 s in 9 eyes (37.50%). The FT was ranged from 2.4 s to 16.0 s, with the mean of (7.4±2.6) s. Compared with before intravenous thrombolytic therapy, the A-Rct was shortened by 7.3 s and the FT was shortened by 5.5 s with the significant differences (χ2=24.6, 24.9; P＜0.01). After intravenous thrombolytic therapy, the visual acuity was ranged from light sensation to 0.6, with the average of 0.08±0.011. There were 1 eye with vision of light perception (4.17%), 8 eyes with hand movement/20 cm (33.33%), 11 eyes with 0.02 - 0.05 (45.83%), 2 eyes with 0.1 - 0.2 (8.33%), 1 eye with 0.5 (4.17%) and 1 eye with 0.6 (4.17%). The visual acuity was improved in 19 eyes (79.17%). The difference of visual acuity before and after intravenous thrombolytic therapy was significant (χ2=7.99, P＜0.05). There was no local and systemic adverse effects during and after treatment. Conclusion Intravenous thrombolytic therapy for CRAO with poor effect after the treatment of arterial thrombolytic therapy can further improve the circulation of retinal artery and visual acuity.
