Transfusion-Free Cardiac Reoperation in an 11-kg Jehovah’s Witness Child by Use of a Minimized Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit
Herein, we describe the design of a perfusion system for a complex cardiovascular reoperation in an 11-kg Jehovah's Witness patient. The goal of safe, transfusion-free surgery was achieved chiefly by minimizing the priming volume of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to 200 mL while providing adequate flow and standard safety features.
Observation of an Injectable Tissue-Engineered Bone Constructed With Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Stromal Cells
To construct an injectable tissue-engineered bone graft with fibrin glue (FG), autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured in vitro and study its biological characteristics and microscopic structures.
Platelet-Rich Plasma: Growth Factors and Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth factors in PRP and to study the effects of PRP on monocyte cytokine release and lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) generation.
A Propensity Score Analysis on the Effect of Eliminating Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The aim of the study was to investigate if the off-pump technique could reduce the hospital mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting when compared to the standard cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique.
Antibacterial Effect of Autologous Platelet Gel Enriched With Growth Factors and Other Active Substances: An Invitro Study
We analysed the antibacterial effect of platelet-rich gel in vitro by using the platelet-rich plasma samples of 20 volunteers.
Symptomatic Dry Eye Treatment with Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been proven to be very effective on tissue regeneration and wound healing. Here we investigate the potential use of PRP in the treatment of symptomatic dry eye.
The Regenerative Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Meniscal Cells In Vitro and Its In Vivo Application with Biodegradable Gelatin Hydrogel
The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances meniscal tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo.
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma at the Cellular Level on Healing of Autologous Bone-Grafted Mandibular Defects in Dogs
This study describes the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) at the cellular level on immediate autologous bone grafts in dog mandibles.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Activity on Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation by Autologous Bone
This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site of peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation.
Early Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Healing in Combination With an Osteoconductive Material in Rat Cranial Defects
We hypothesize that PRP exerts its beneficial effect on bone regeneration within the first and second week after application in a bone defect combined with an osteoconductive material.
Retransfusion of Pericardial Blood Does Not Trigger Systemic Coagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated to which extent retransfusion of pericardial blood triggers systemic coagulation during CPB.
Mortality Associated With Aprotinin During 5 Years Following Coronary Artery Bypass
To contrast long-term all-cause mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery according to use of 2 lysine analog antifibrinolytics (aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid), the serine protease inhibitor aprotinin, or no antibleeding agent.
