Cronkite found during his experiments on animals exposed to the blasts at Bikini in 1946 that haemorrhagic diathesis occurred in goats and pigs, and observed remarkable increase of fibrinolysin in them. Since then many other experiments were made. Leeuw, Wright and their co-workers using rabbits, Colgan and Sanderson using dogs, and Kocholaty, Ellis and their co-workers using rats, and giving rather large doses of total body irradiation noted rapid activation of plasmin or fibrinolysin in the circulating blood. In particular plasmin was reported to have highly increased immediately before death caused by bleeding. Colgan further reported sudden activation of plasmin in the urine 3-4 days after irradiation, after which the activity began to weaken but rapidly increased again immediately before death accompanying bleeding. Kocholaty and his co-workers on the contrary reported that antiplasmin began to decrease in 2 days after irradiation, reaching the lowest on the 4th day, and from then on showing continued slight increase. One of the authors, Yamashita, previously gave rabbits rather large doses (1000 r) of total body irradiation of Co-60 gamma rays, and noted from the 3rd day elevation of plasmin activity in the blood. Yamashita made further investigations on the activity of plasmin in patients treated with radiation and noticed the activation of plasmin in the blood and the urine soon after a localized irradiation of 1000-2000 r. The acti vation kept up for about 3 weeks and thereafter disappeared. This experiment suggested a certain degree of relationship with radiation sickness. We have taken up a detailed investigation of the change of the plasmin activity in the blood and in the urine of cancer patients during radiation therapy. At the same time we studied the relationship of the plasmin changes to the radiation sickness, especially by administrating large amounts of -aminocaproic acid Upsilon), a synthetic antiplasmin drug. The results obtained by these investigations are reported in the following lines.
