Background: Platelet preparations have been used for a wide variety of clinical applications such as hemorrhage, tissue engineering and cellular therapy. Platelet concentrates can be prepared by the apheresis method or from the whole blood using the Buffy-coat or Platelet-rich plasma methods. The purpose of this study was to compare four variations of platelet-rich plasma method based on double...

Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with high quality and safety due to the short shelf life of 3-5 days as well as possible bacterial and viral contaminations. For a variety of reasons, many Europeans have changed their methods of component production from whole blood using the North American standard platelet-rich plasma method to the buf...

objective(s): platelet-rich plasma (prp) has recently emerged as a promising strategy in regenerative medicine due to its multiple endogenous growth factors. little is known about the role of prp as a promoter in chondrogenesis of human adipose derived stem cells (hadscs). the aim of this study was to determine whether prp may be considered as a natural and easy achievable source of growth fact...

the purpose of the present randomized clinical trial study was to compare the effectiveness of bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm) with and without plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) in the treatment of mandibular class ii furcation defects.in seven patients, nine pairs of symmetric buccal or lingual mandibular class ii furcation defects were treated. in each patient, one defect received bpbm (...

conclusions both l-prp and l-prf could be used to effectively promote the healing of articular cartilage defects of the knee. results mean macroscopic scores of the treated defects were higher than the controls at all sampling times with significant differences (p < 0.05) observed between l-prf treated and control defects (10.13 vs. 8.37) and l-prp treated and control defects (10 vs. 8.5) at 4 ...

Abstract Background Autologus platelet gel is easy to prepare and is relatively low cost. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate in vitro efficacy of autologus platelet gel. Materials and Methods In this experimental study, platelet concentrate and platelet poor plasma were prepared with aphaeresis method. Thrombin was prepared by mixing the plasma with calcium. Thrombin activity...

frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that perturbs movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. to date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. a 45-year-old man wi...
