Record 1 2018-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Blood
  • Pregnancy
CONT

Selected analysis of the placentas showed them to be thinner and to contain more subchorionic thrombin than those of women who did not smoke.

OBS

thrombin: An enzyme that acts on fibrinogen in blood causing it to clot.

OBS

subchorionic: Situated beneath the chorion.

OBS

chorion: The outermost of the two fetal membranes (the amnion is the innermost) which together surround the embryo. The chorion develops villi (vascular fingers) and gives rise to the placenta.

Key term(s)
  • sub-chorionic thrombin

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Sang
  • Grossesse
OBS

[La thrombine est une] enzyme possédant la capacité de transformer le fibrinogène en fibrine. Le fibrinogène est le précurseur de nature protéique de la fibrine synthétisé par le foie. La fibrine est une protéine qui n'est pas soluble et qui est à l'origine du caillot sanguin. C'est le résultat de la scission du fibrinogène sous l'action de la thrombine, au cours de la coagulation sanguine.

OBS

sous-chorial(e) : situé dessous le chorion.

OBS

chorion : Membrane externe de l'œuf, issue de la réunion du trophoblaste et du mésoblaste au début de la grossesse.

Record 6 2011-06-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

An enzyme with proteolytic activity that catalyzes the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin during the clotting of blood. It is formed from an inactive precursor, prothrombin, in the presence of blood platelets, calcium ions and thromboplastin.

CONT

Under the action of thrombin, which splits off a small peptide from fibrinogen, fibrinogen is activated and starts to interact with other monomers. The end-to-end association forms long fibrin fibrils, but apparently there is also some lateral staggering and cross-linking with other fibers to form a network. As clotting progresses, aided by the blood platelets, fibrin retracts, squeezing out the serum, and the blood clot is completed.

OBS

Fibrinogenase and thrombase are obsolete terms.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Enzyme catalysant l'hydrolyse de la fibrinogène en fibrine, provoquant ainsi la coagulation du sang.

CONT

L'ensemble du processus de coagulation du sang est fort complexe. Il met en jeu des ions calcium et une dizaine de facteurs protéiques qui font l'objet d'une activation en cascade, le plus souvent par des réactions de protéolyse partielle. C'est ainsi que la thrombine, qui transforme le fibrinogène, provient elle-même de l'activation d'une glycoprotéine plasmatique, la prothrombine.

OBS

Thrombose, plasmase, thrombosine et fibrine-ferment sont des termes vieillis à éviter.

DEF

Enzima proteolítica que hidroliza específicamente enlaces peptídicos con L-arginina. Convierte fibrinógeno en fibrina y se forma a partir del precursor inactivo protrombina.

Record 7 2001-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blood
DEF

The time needed for a fibrin clot to form after the addition of thrombin to citrated plasma.

Key term(s)
  • thrombin clotting time
  • TCT
  • TT

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sang
CONT

Temps de thrombine (TT) [...] temps de coagulation d'un plasma recueilli sur citrate et additionné d'une solution de thrombine en quantité suffisante pour obtenir un temps voisin de 20 secondes pour un plasma témoin. (la thrombine agit directement sur le fibrinogène pour le transformer en fibrine).
