The beneficial effect of a beta-D-xyloside, Iliparcil, in the prevention of postthrombolytic rethrombosis in the rat.

The effect of Iliparcil, a new orally active beta-D-xyloside venous antithrombotic, was studied on the rethrombosis following thrombolytic therapy in rats, using a modified Umetsu model. The drug was administered by oral route prior to thrombolytic therapy, which consisted of administering a combination of heparin and urokinase (H/U) at 37.5 and 70,000 IU/kg, respectively.

[Improvement of blood filtrability with a purified extract of black currant anthocyanosides in cynomologus monkeys on a fat diet].

A fat diet has been administered for 3 months to Cynomologus monkeys treated with blackcurrant anthocyanosides as compared with others receiving no treatment. Blood filtrability of animals given a fat diet alone was significantly lowered (20.8%; p less than 0.

[Action of fenofibrate in hypercholesterolemic children. 18-month follow-up].

Twelve children with lla hypercholesterolaemia were given fenofibrate and examined after 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment. Cholesterol levels were measured both in whole plasma and in lipoprotein fractions after precipitation with concanavalin A. Plasma cholesterol and apoprotein B-bound cholesterol were reduced by 20% and 26% respectively (p less than 0.

[Apoprotein B in high density lipoproteins: variations according to the type of hyperlipoproteinemia].

Two techniques for the separation of high density lipoproteins are compared: ultracentrifugation and concanavalin A precipitation. There is a significant correlation for the high density lipoproteins cholesterol levels found by the two techniques (r = 0.66, p less than 0.

Application of the concanavalin A precipitation technique in an evaluation of fenofibrate action on cholesterolemia in IIa and IIb hyperlipemic subjects.

Total plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein fractions were studied before and after 4 months fenofibrate (Lipanthyl) treatment of 34 hypercholesterolemic adults (16 IIa and 18 IIb), using a concanavalin A precipitation technique. The total plasma cholesterol levels decreased significantly for both IIa and IIb (24 and 18%, respectively, p less than 0.001).

[Automatic recording of venous hysteresis. Results in the normal subject and in varicose patients].

The measurement of the venous distensibility by straingauge plethysmography during a semi-continuous variation (3 mm Hg every 20 seconds) of the cuff pressure during its inflation from 0 to 100 mm Hg and its deflation allow to record the venous hysteresis and to determine accurately the venous pressure. The standardized and automatic (Periflow J.S.

Comparative study of four HDL-cholesterol assay methods.

Four methods for HDL-cholesterol assay are compared using the plasma of 119 subjects. Results for the entire population and for subgroups defined by triglyceridemia and cholesterolemia levels are determined. The methods used are: ultracentrifugation, electrophoresis, dextran sulfate precipitation, and concanavalin A precipitation.
