Study design and methods: A Medline search with keywords ‘platelet rich plasma dental’ further filtered using Boolean operators (AND, Or, NOt) and combination of specific keywords as follows: ‘platelet rich fibrin’, ‘platelet rich plasma regenerative’, ‘platelet rich plasma periodontal’, ‘platelet rich plasma extraction’ with a custom range of 10 years was performed, which yielded 88 results ou...

- pseudohypoaldosteronism (p'ha) is referred to a state of endorgan unresponsiveness to aldosterone. in this article a 12 day - old mule newborn is presented with hyponatremia, hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis. aldosterone level and plasma renin activity were high. mineralocorticoids had no therapeutic effect, hut normal saline infusion improved electrolyte imbalance. salt-rich diet was succ...

BACKGROUND Flap necrosis remains a major complication of reconstructive surgery. To improve skin flap survival, various treatments with vasodilators, antiplatelet drugs, or the local administration of growth factors have been performed. However, the sufficient prevention of skin necrosis is not well established. Platelet-rich plasma has been used as an autologous factor and includes various gro...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has gained growing popularity in the treatment of articular cartilage lesions in the last decade. However, the potential harmful effects of leukocytes in PRP on cartilage regeneration have seldom been studied in vitro, and not at all in vivo yet. The objective of the present study is to compare the effects of leukocyte- and platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) and pure platel...

objectives : platelet preparations are commonly used to enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration. considering the existing controversies on the efficacy of platelet products for tissue regeneration, more in vitro studies are required. the aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro effects of plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) on proliferation and viab...

Background: Cell therapy and cell culture have received much attention in recent decades. Suitable cell growth requires growth supplements such as fetal bovine serum (FBS). FBS is component rich in nutrients, growth factors and supplementary compounds. However, FBS utilization has some limitations including mass production. Therefore, finding alternatives with the same growth promoting effects ...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma is a fraction of plasma in which platelets are concentrated. It is reported to represent a source of multiple growth factors that promote tissue repair. In anticipation of the eventual testing of platelet-rich plasma in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient patients, we examined the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma on human ACL cell function in vitr...

Platelet-rich plasma has been used to treat articular cartilage defects, with the expectations of anabolic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its role on cellular chondrogenic or fibrogenic commitment is still a controversy. Herein, the role of platelet-rich plasma releasate, the product obtained following platelet-rich plasma activation, on cellular commitment toward the chondrogenic line...
