OBJECTIVE To explore the utilization of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for degenerative cartilage processes and evaluate whether there is sufficient evidence to better define its potential effects. DESIGN Systematic literature reviews were conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane electronic databases till May 2015, using the keywords "platelet-rich plasma OR PRP OR autologous conditioned plasma O...

Objective: The basic aim in the treatment of second-degree burns is to prevent progressive cell death, and so treatments are directed at zone stasis. In this study, We were aimed investigate healing effects using Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), Ovarian follicular fluid (OFS) Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on burn stasis an experimental model. Method: Forty rats divided randomly into four groups. Bur...

background and aims. along with conventional periodontal therapy, subginigval application of platelet-rich plasma (prp) may provide more effective improvements in clinical parameters due to the presence of multiple growth factors. the aim of this double-blind, split-mouth, randomized study was to evaluate the adjunctive use of prp with scaling and root planing (srp) in the treatment of chronic ...

Sesamoid fractures result in significant pain and poor biomechanics, which can ultimately hinder athletic performance delay return to sport. Current literature describes the utility of platelet rich plasma (PRP) treating various musculoskeletal injuries, but there is minimal data regarding its application sesamoid pathology.

Converging observations from disparate lines of inquiry are beginning to clarify the cause of brain iron dyshomeostasis in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), a neurodegenerative condition associated with the conversion of prion protein (PrP(C)), a plasma membrane glycoprotein, from α-helical to a β-sheet rich PrP-scrapie (PrP(Sc)) isoform. Biochemical evidence indicates that PrP(C) faci...

PURPOSE To evaluate the potential of heterologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel for surgical skin wound healing in rabbits. METHODS Blood from a single healthy dog was used for PRP production, with calcium gluconate added to the PRP to form the gel. Two surgical excisions, one to the right and the other to the left of the dorsal midline, were made in six rabbits. One side was randomly alloca...

Background: Wound healing follows a predictable course of overlapping phases, which involve cellular and biochemical events: (a) hemostasis and inflammation, (b) proliferation and (c) maturation and remodeling. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is obtained by the blood from the patient being concentrated using different techniques. In the light of this basic information, platelet rich plasma (PRP) is ...
