C. Stromeolysin
D. Thrombin
E. Trypsin
CC
familiar to this question, i just did it.
the answer is B, i agree with it.
because plasmin can lysis fibrin.
they used neomycin talc c.diphtheria..

so my chiice wud be a hinge towards strptomycin...

n abt plasmin...normally tpa converts plasminogen to plasmin..whch breaks down the fibrin clot...bt here i guess there is no fibrin trapped in the clot..
tho m nt sure
ok i think i misunerstood it...the substances i talked above r used to induce pleural adhesion..

so in this case to restore normal anatomy...it wud be plasmin...
so in acute fibrinous pleurities-u want to try to break this firbin right
yes ofcourse..it is asked to restore pleural anatomy...

actually when there is recurrent pleural effusion n we are not able to solve the etilogy then pleural adhesion is indicated by talc neopmycin or diphtherie...to elimate pleural space

bt here...we want normal anatomy...so plasmin to break fibrin
hiii @harsh and helpobama

right answer would be B..
stromelysin..(i gues u might had spelling mistake in writting that stromeolysin)
...stromelysin is all u want to restore normal anatomy for anypart in the body..and irrespective of etiology...
strong extracellular endopeptidase that can break any barrier of body...
so i strongly think answer would be B..
HIII HARSH THIS IS CHETAN
