Combined Treatment of Ulinastatin and Tranexamic Acid Provides Beneficial Effects by Inhibiting Inflammatory and Fibrinolytic Response in Patients Undergoing Heart Valve Replacement Surgery
We investigated the effect of ulinastatin and tranexamic acid administered alone or in combination on inflammatory cytokines and fibrinolytic system in patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Enhancing Intervertebral Disc Repair and Regeneration Through Biology: Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Alternative Strategy
This review describes the current understanding of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and related biological therapeutic strategies, especially the promising prospects of PRP treatment.
Sensory Improvement of Leprosy Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Treated with Perineural Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma
This study shows that perineural PRP injection could promote improvement of peripheral neuropathy sensibility in patients with leprosy.
Does Tranexamic Acid Stop Haemoptysis
Current best evidence indicates that tranexamic acid may reduce both the duration and volume of bleeding, with low risk of short-term thromboembolic complications, in patients with haemoptysis.
Comparison of Epsilon Aminocaproic Acid and Tranexamic Acid in Thoracic Aortic Surgery: Clinical Efficacy and Safety
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery.
The Biomechanics and Histological Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Fracture Healing
