| the effects of green pit viper (trimeresurus albolabris and trimeresurus macrops) venom on the fibrinolytic system in human. | green pit viper (trimeresurus albolabris and trimeresurus macrops) venom was found to have a thrombin-like effect in vitro but cause a defibrination syndrome in vivo. the effects of venom on fibrinolytic system have not been well characterized. this knowledge can help to define the roles of antifibrinolytic therapy, give insights in fibrinolytic system regulation and potentially lead to identification of a new profibrinolytic agent from this venom. forty-six cases of green pit viper bites were s ... | 1999 | 10219986 |
| antihemorrhagin in the blood serum of king cobra (ophiophagus hannah): purification and characterization. | king cobra (ophiophagus hannah) serum was found to possess antihemorrhagic activity against king cobra hemorrhagin. the activity was stronger than that in commercial king cobra antivenom. an antihemorrhagin has been purified by ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography and gel filtration with a 22-fold purification and an overall yield of 12% of the total antihemorrhagic activity contained in crude serum. the purified antihemorrhagin was homogeneous in disc-page and sds-page. its appa ... | 2003 | 12875876 |
| a trend of platelet indices in patients with green pit viper toxin. | the green pit viper (trimeresurus albolabris and trimeresurus macrops) is a common venomous snake in thailand. the green pit viper venom has major effects on the hematologic system. the venom is found to have a thrombin-like effect in vitro but cause a defibrination syndrome in vivo. unlike other pit viper snakes (such as malayan pit viper and russel's pit viper), the venomous effect on red blood cells is rarely mentioned. clinical features of venomous snake bites vary from asymptomatic to fatal ... | 2003 | 14653444 |
| convergence of multiple markers and analysis methods defines the genetic distinctiveness of cryptic pitvipers. | using multiple markers and multiple analytical approaches is critical for establishing species boundaries reliably, especially so in the case of cryptic species. despite development of new and powerful analytical methods, most studies continue to adopt a few, with the choice often being subjective. one such example is routine analysis of amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) data using population genetic models despite disparity between method assumptions and data properties. the applica ... | 2015 | 26162672 |
| a study regarding follow-ups after green pit viper bites treated according to the practice guideline by the ministry of public health of thailand. | introduction: for patients bitten by a green pit viper (gpv), the ministry of public health (moph) guideline suggests a physician order blood tests immediately after the ed arrival and repeat them 2 h later, if initial results are normal. if repeat tests remain normal, the patient can be discharged and scheduled for outpatient-follow-up at 24, 48 and 72 h.objectives: to determine the probability of abnormal blood tests at the second draw (2 h after the first draw), and to determine the probabili ... | 2020 | 31913729 |
| venomics and cellular toxicity of thai pit vipers (trimeresurus macrops and t. hageni). | the two venomous pit vipers, trimeresurus macrops and t. hageni, are distributed throughout thailand, although their abundance varies among different areas. no species-specific antivenom is available for their bite victims, and the only recorded treatment method is a horse antivenom raised against t. albolabris crude venom. to facilitate assessment of the cross-reactivity of heterologous antivenoms, protein profiles of t. macrops and t. hageni venoms were explored using mass-spectrometry-based p ... | 2020 | 31963345 |
