This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro performance of activated platelet-rich plasma associated with porous sponges of chitosan as a composite scaffold for proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The sponges were prepared by controlled freezing (-20, -80, or -196°C) and lyophilization of chitosan solutions (1, 2, or 3% w/v). The pl...

Background: Among new therapies emerging in the medical field, use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) human reproduction has not yet been explored. Platelet-rich a potential effect on tissue repair through proliferation and differentiation progenitor cells. The aim this study was to evaluate PRP testis structure function rabbit model. Material methods: A total 30 male rabbits were recruited study. T...

We studied adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation and the associated release of thromboxane B2 in platelet-rich plasma from 88 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and 26 healthy controls. During the first 3 days after subarachnoid hemorrhage, the patients showed significantly decreased (p less than 0.05) platelet aggregability and thromboxane release relative to the controls, but ...

conclusions our study demonstrates positive results (preservation or regeneration of bone) using prp in treatment of bronj. although prp may enhance osseous regeneration, long-term follow-ups are required to confirm its benefits. background bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (bronj) is a well-known challenging entity warranting management. platelet-rich plasma (prp) plays an impor...

Editorial Platelet rich plasma (PRP), also termed autologous platelet gel, plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF), platelet concentrate (PC), is essentially an increased concentration of autologous platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma after centrifugation. Basically, patient's blood is collected and centrifuged at varying speeds until it separates into 3 layers: platelet poor plasma (P...

BACKGROUND Psoriasis, especially when severe, is a risk factor for cardiometabolic disease beyond traditional risk factors. The mechanism of atherogenesis in psoriasis remains unknown. Cell membrane vesicles (ie, microparticles), released upon cell activation or apoptosis, have recently been associated with cardiometabolic disease and may play a pathogenic role. Microparticle levels, particular...

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is administered to critically ill patients with renal injuries as renal replacement or renal support. We aimed to identify predictors of mortality among burn patients receiving CRRT, and to investigate clinical differences according to acute kidney injury (AKI) status. This retrospective observational study evaluated 216 Korean burn patients who recei...

After Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm, a systemic inflammatory response, named postimplantation syndrome, can develop. This syndrome is characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and elevated CRP plasma levels and its pathogenetic mechanisms are still unknown. Although this syndrome generally resolves within few days, some patients develop a persisting severe inflammatory reaction le...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from a patient’s own peripheral blood, after centrifuging it, and has growth factors.[1] There are clinical studies indicating that PRP therapy may enhance muscle or tendon healing, and it accelerates the tissue regeneration after musculoskeletal injuries such as strain or contusion, during sports activities.[1,2] The application of these products is docum...

This study evaluated the quality and bacteriologic safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produced by 3 simple, inexpensive tube centrifugation methods and a commercial system. Citrated equine blood collected from 26 normal horses was processed by 4 methods: blood collection tubes centrifuged at 1200 and 2000 × g, 50-mL conical tube, and a commercial system. White blood cell (WBC), red blood cell...
