Platelet concentrates for surgical use are innovative tools of regenerative medicine, and were widely tested in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Unfortunately, the literature on the topic is contradictory and the published data are difficult to sort and interpret. In bone graft, implant and reconstructive surgery, the literature is particularly dense about the use of the various forms of Platele...

Introduction: The amount of platelet count in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is very important for the concentration growth factors, which play a major role effectiveness PRP.
 Aim: aim this study was to investigate effects demographic and clinical parameters on number platelets Materials And Methods: data 50 patients who received PRP our stem cell center were scanned retrospectively electroni...

introduction: vesicovaginal fistula remains a challenge in surgical therapy. in this study autologous platelet rich plasma and platelet rich fibrin glue were used as a minimally invasive approach for vesicovaginal fistula closure. materials and methods: data including age, parity, iciq-ui (international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-urinary incontinence), iciq-qol (international co...

 Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
 Place and Duration Study: Department Orthopedics, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Feb 2019 to Sep 2020.
 Methodology: All chronic lateral epicondylitis onset symptoms greater than three months were grouped into two...

In platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, various growth factors and cytokines released the α-granules contained in platelets after activation can potentially enhance wound healing by delivering. We report a patient in whom treatment with PRP, prepared using a syringe-centrifugation-system PRP kit (KYOCERA Medical PRP Kit), for a fistula following bursitis of the lateral malleolus, which could not...

In minipigs little is known about the concentration of growth factors in plasma, despite their major role in several patho-physiological processes such as healing of fractures. This prompted us to study the concentration of platelets and selected growth factors in plasma and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation of sixteen Goettingen minipigs. Platelet concentrations increased significantly in...

The aims were (1) to evaluate the bacteriostatic effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich gel (PRG), leukocyte-poor plasma (LPP), leukocyte-poor gel (LPG), plasma, and heat-inactivated plasma (IP) on both methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) over a period of 24 h; (2) to determine and to compare the concentrations a...

Previous topical growth factor studies have shown that recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB isomer (rhPDGF-BB) is an efficacious treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulceration. A newer treatment, autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP), represents a greater similarity to the natural healing process as a composite of multiple growth factors, is safe due to its autologous nature, and ...
