Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing fibroblast migration at a wound site are disclosed. The method includes contacting the wound site with fibrinogen that is prepared by a process which includes precipitating plasma with glycine. The compositions includes a lipid rich component and fibrinogen.

Abstract: A method of preparing autologous plasma fibrin perioperatively to induce local hemostasis is disclosed. The autologous plasma fibrin is thereafter simultaneously expelled onto a treatment site along with a physiologically acceptable thrombin solution to effect hemostasis at the site. An apparatus for simultaneously expelling the contents of vessels which separately contain the autologous plasma fibrin and thrombin solutions, respectively, is also disclosed. A kit for obtaining a sample of blood, extracting plasma fibrin therefrom, as well as all necessary syringes, needles, reagents, and the inventive apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: Compositions and methods useful in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders in mammals is disclosed. Intact serum albumin is fragmented by a cleaving agent and thereafter albumin fragments are dissolved in a physiologically acceptable vehicle for therapeutic use or are combined with a radionuclide for use as a diagnostic adjunct in the scanning of mammalian vascular systems.
