Treatment of Nonhealing Diabetic Lower Extremity Ulcers with Skin Graft and Autologous Platelet Gel: A Case Series
In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous platelet gel (PG) and skin graft for treating large size recalcitrant ulcers.
Evaluation of the Effects of Homologous Platelet Gel on Healing Lower Extremity Wounds in Patients with Diabetes
Twenty-one patients with refractory diabetic lower extremity ulcers, who had no response to conventional treatments, were treated in this study. Our data indicated that homologous PG was effective for the enhancement and acceleration of diabetic lower extremity wounds healing.
Application of Platelet-Rich Gel to Enhance Healing of Transmetatarsal Amputations in Diabetic Dysvascular Patients
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility to use platelet gel (PG) as an adjuvant therapy when performing TMA procedure in diabetic patients.
The Effects of Platelet Gel-Released Supernatant on Human Fibroblasts
This study shows that excessively high concentrations of platelets per microliter have an inhibitory effect on the wound healing processes and are, therefore, counterproductive.
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on Suture Distraction Osteogenesis
The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of PRP and its combination with rhBMP-2 as a controlled delivery system during sagittal suture distraction osteogenesis.
PDGF Supplementation Alters Oxidative Events in Wound Healing Process: A Time Course Study
In the present study, we especially focused on investigating the effects of exogenous PDGF administration on oxidative events during cutaneous wound healing process.
In Vitro Clearance of Intravenous Acetaminophen in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
An in vitro study was conducted to determine: (1) changes in intravenous acetaminophen levels over time and (2) changes in concentration observed between different sites of the ECMO circuit.
Controlling Intrathoracic Hemorrhage on ECMO: Help from Factor VIIa and Virchow
We developed a strategy based on Virchow's triad to favor homeostasis in the patient while avoiding thrombosis in the ECMO circuit.
Is Hyperoxaemia Helping or Hurting Patients during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation? Review of a Complex Problem
Improvements to the ECMO process have resulted in its increased utilisation.
Retinal Vessel Abnormalities Predict Coronary Artery Diseases
The present study examines the relationship between retinal microvascular changes and angiographic findings.
Effects of Surface-Bound and Intravenously Administered Heparin on Cell-Surface Interactions: Inflammation and Coagulation
The work described here utilized human blood in a micro-perfusion circuit to experimentally examine the effects of intravenous and surface-bound heparin on cellular activation.
Evaluation of Coagulation Factors and Platelet Function from an Off-Line Modified Ultrafiltration Technique for Post-Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit Blood Recovery
This study evaluated the off-line MUF process of the Hemobag (HB, Global Blood Resources, Somers, CT, USA) to quantitate coagulation factor levels
