The Mean

SummaryThe plasminogen content was determined by a casein method in plasma and serum from 20 normal volunteers. The mean plasminogen content was found to be 10.1 ACU (the arbitrary caseinolytic unit defined in such a way that using a 3% casein solution and a digestion time of 20 min. at 37°C, 10 ACU gave an extinction of 0.300). No difference between serum and plasma regarding the plasminogen content was found.Plasminogen was determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from 2 ml plasma. The highest values found in the drained clots were 0.9 ACU/clot and 0.2 ACU/clot in the drained plus washed clots.Plasminogen was also determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from plasma with added purified plasminogen. The plasminogen was recovered in the washing fluid. According to these tests, then, purified added plasminogen is washed out of the clots.The plasminogen content of 20 thrombi obtained post mortem was also determined. The mean value was found to be 0.7 ACU/cm thrombus. Judging from our results, the “intrinsic clot lysis theory” is not the main mechanism of clot dissolution.

Glutamyl Transferase

In order to appreciate more adequately chronic alcohol use by the deceased in the course of a medico-legal autopsy we studied the usefulness of a determination of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in cadaver serum. Some preliminary tests were performed to check the post-mortem stability of this enzyme, the influence of post-mortem haemolysis upon enzyme determination, the influence of the sampling site upon the enzyme activity and the suitability of vitreous humour as an alternative body fluid for GGT determination. Secondly, correlations between GGT activity and the degree of fatty liver degeneration and fibrosis (both possibly alcohol-induced tissue lesions) were searched for. Finally, a comparison was made between strictly selected groups of alcoholics and non-alcoholics. We concluded that, keeping in mind the necessary precautions to avoid typical post-mortem fallacies, a GGT determination in cadaver serum provides a useful parameter for detecting chronic alcoholism at the forensic autopsy.
