Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with a shelf life limit of 3 to 5 days. Many approaches have been investigated experimentally to produce new hemostatically active platelet products that are capable of long term storage. In this article infusible platelet membrane will be explained as a platelet substitute versus conventional liquid-stor...

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous fibrin sealant (FS) enriched with a platelet concentrate (> 1,000,000 platelets/microL) produced by the automated Vivostat system and used to enhance wound healing. The effects of PRF were compared with supernatant from thrombin-activated platelet concentrate, recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) isoforms, and a homologous FS in c...

Dermal fibroblasts have been used clinically to promote wound healing and reduce wrinkles. Most of the time, fetal bovine serum (FBS) is for expansion fibroblasts. In addition, chemically defined medium can also be fibroblast expansion. Nonetheless, both FBS are not ideal culture cells that will as has risk pathogen transmission induction xenogeneic immune response whilst extremely expensive. t...

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...

OBJECTIVES The purpose is to study the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and autologous platelet concentrates in healing the fibula bone of rabbits after induced fractures. METHODS A total of 128 male New Zealand albino rabbits, between 6-8 months old, were subjected to a total osteotomy of the proximal portion of the right fibula. After surgery, the animals were divided into four groups (...
