Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma Under Autogenous Onlay Bone Grafts
To analyze the healing of autogenous onlay bone grafts in three different situations, focusing on the interface area.
Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Platelet-Rich Plasma Collection Using the Haemonetics Cell Saver 5 in Open Heart Surgery
This study was conducted to address the issues we had about our use of the Haemonetics Cell Saver 5 (CS5) to collect PRP during open heart surgery at our institution.
Autologous Platelet Gel: An in Vitro Analysis of Platelet-Rich Plasma Using Multiple Cycles
The purpose of this study was to show that processing two cycles of the same syringe could reduce the amount of blood required to produce a specific volume of PRP.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Improves Expansion of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Retains Differentiation Capacity and In Vivo Bone Formation in Calcium Phosphate Ceramics
Cells expanded with two different media were tested on distinct biomaterials for their bone formation capacity after ectopic implantation in vivo, as well as for their growth rate and differentiation capacity in vitro.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Preparation Using Three Devices: Implications for Platelet Activation and Platelet Growth Factor Release
In this study, three commercial systems for the preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were compared and platelet growth factors release was measured.
Effects of Blood Washing and Autotransfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Erythrocyte Immune and Kidney Function
To study changes of erythrocyte immune and kidney function after autotransfusing washed red blood cells during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
The Outcome of Patients Requiring Emergency Conversion From Off-Pump to On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may need emergent institution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for circulatory collapse during the operation. Our aim was to evaluate outcome in such patients and identify preoperative and intraoperative risk factors.
The Effect of Excess Protamine on Thrombelastography in Vitro
The aim of the current study was to assess the direct effect of protamine on conventional thrombelastography in vitro.
Transplantation of Culture Expanded Bone Marrow Cells and Platelet Rich Plasma in Distraction Osteogenesis of the Long Bones
We developed a new technique of transplantation of culture expanded bone marrow cells (BMC) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) in DO of the long bones.
Effect of Cold Blood Cardioplegia Enriched With Potassium-Magnesium Aspartate During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of enriched with potassium-magnesium aspartate cold-blood cardioplegia on early reperfusion injury and postoperative arrhythmias in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), using measurements of cardiac troponin I (CTnI), hemodynamic indexes and clinical parameters.
Benefits of Terminal Noncardioplegic Warm Blood Retrograde Perfusion After Terminal Warm Blood Cardioplegia Perfusion Prior to Aortic Unclamping in Open Heart Surgery
The benefits of terminal noncardioplegic warm blood retrograde perfusion (TNWB) and terminal warm blood cardioplegia perfusion (TWBC) after intermittent cold blood cardioplegia perfusion during aortic clamping were studied.
Significant Reduction in Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Minimal Extracorporeal Circulation
Recently a new concept, the mini-extracorporeal circulation, was introduced to minimize the side effects of extracorporeal circulation.
