Influence of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Osteogenic Differentiationof Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Ectopic Bone formation in Calcium Phosphate Ceramics
This study evaluated the effect of PRP on osteogenic differentiation and ectopic bone formation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in distinct resorbable calcium phosphate ceramics.
Lowest Hematocrit on Cardiopulmonary Bypass Impairs the Outcome in Coronary Surgery: An Italian Multicenter Study from the National Cardioanesthesia Database
The records of 1,766 consecutive adult patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery at 3 institutions have been analyzed retrospectively for in-hospital mortality and adverse outcomes.
Use of the Hemobag for Modified Ultrafiltration in a Jehovah’s Witness Patient Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
This case report describes how to set up and operate the Hemobag in a Jehovah’s Witness patient undergoing cardiac surgery that requires an extracorporeal circuit.
Application of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Non-Vascularied Bone Graft of Maxillofacial Surgery
To introduce the application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in non-vascularised bone grafts (NVBG) of maxillofacial surgery and its potential mechanism in recent years.
Platelet-Rich Plasma: Quantification of Growth Factor Levels and the Effect on Growth and Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Cells
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new application of tissue engineering and a developing area for clinicians and researchers.
Use of the Hemobag for Modified Ultrafiltration in a Jehovah’s Witness Patient Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
This case report describes how to set up and operate the Hemobag in a Jehovah’s Witness patient undergoing cardiac surgery that requires an extracorporeal circuit.
Freeze-Dried Platelet-Rich Plasma Shows Beneficial Healing Properties in Chronic Wounds
Fresh platelet concentrates are used in many centers to treat recalcitrant wounds. To extend the therapeutic shelf-life of platelets, we analyzed the wound-healing effects of fresh-frozen and freeze-dried (FD) platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using a diabetic mouse model.
Automated Technique Accurately Measures Platelet Counts in “Platelet Gel” Products
A special blood concentrate known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can promote healing in a wide range of medical and surgical situations, but research has been limited by the lack of a universally accepted approach to measuring the platelet concentrations contained in PRP.
Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Myocardial Cardioplegic Protection for Neonatal Arterial Switch Operation
Hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) associated with cold myocardial protection is commonly used to perform neonatal cardiac surgery. Hypothermia is usually chosen to preserve the brain in case of failure of oxygen delivery whatever it may result from.
Preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Tissue Adhesive for Experimental Transplantation in Rabbits
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous substance with adhesive properties. We aimed at developing and testing the efficacy of a method for PRP preparation in rabbits.
Aprotinin Improves Cerebral Protection: Evidence From a Survival Porcine Model
The goal of the study was to test the hypothesis that aprotinin could reduce cerebral injury after low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Myocardial Protection in the Failing Heart: I. Effect of Cardioplegia and the Beating State Under Simulated Left Ventricular Restoration
Heart failure was induced by cardiac pacing to evaluate myocardial flow distribution of the open ventricle during delivery of either cardioplegia or in the beating state during simulated left ventricular restoration.
