Objective To determine the effectiveness and safety of autologous platelet-rich gel in the management of diabetic foot ulcer. Methods We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trails (CENTRAL), MEDLINE or PubMed, EMbase, OVID Database, Chinese Biological Medicine Database (CBMDisc), CNKI, Chinese VIP Database and WANFANG Database. We also handsearched the bibliographies of retrieved articles and correlated proceedings. The systematic review was conducted using the method recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Results Four trials involving 216 patients were included. Meta-analyses showed (1) Diabetic foot ulcer healing rate: Autologous platelet-rich gel was superior to the standard care (Plt;0.000 01); (2) Diabetic foot ulcer reduction rate: Autologous platelet-rich gel was superior to the standard care (P=0.000 3); (3) Diabetic foot ulcer healing time: Autologous platelet-rich gel was superior to the standard care (Plt;0.000 01); (4) Complications: No patient in these trials had complications. Conclusions The limited current evidence shows that autologous platelet-rich gel is safe and effective in the short-term treatment for diabetic foot ulcer.
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a common complication and major cause of blindness of ocular trauma. Many cytokines, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), participate in the process of the pathogenesis of traumatic PVR. VEGF competitively inhibits binding of PDGF to its receptor (PDGFRα), enables indirect activation of PDGFRα by non-PDGF ligands, resulting in reduced p53 expression, cell proliferation and migration, which is a key point in the pathogenesis of traumatic PVR.
A large amount of research evidence has shown a correlation between cerebral infarction and malignant tumors, and malignant-tumor-related embolic stroke is the main type of malignant-tumor-related cerebral infarction. Hypercoagulation is considered to be the main mechanism. However, due to the complexity of the pathogenesis, the optimal diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies remain unclear. This review summarizes the published literature on the concepts, mechanisms, clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, treatment and prevention of malignant-tumor-related embolic cerebral infarction, to clearly understand this disease and provide ideas for early recognition, reasonable diagnosis and treatment, improvement of prognosis, and further research of this disease.
Acute cerebral infarction is characterized by high incidence rate, high recurrence rate, high disability rate and multiple complications. Early evaluation and treatment of acute cerebral infarction is particularly important to improve the survival rate and prognosis of patients. As an easily available clinical laboratory indicator, blood routine test can reflect the pathological changes in the body to a certain extent. In recent years, many studies have shown that the indicators such as red cell volume distribution width, mean platelet volume, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio in blood routine examination have important values in the onset, severity and prognosis of acute cerebral infarction. This article reviews the correlations of the above parameters and ratio parameters with acute cerebral infarction, in order to provide some reference and basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of acute cerebral infarction.
Objective The use of autologous platelet-rich gel (APG) is a relatively new technology and a promising treatment method for infections, which is currently being used by a variety of surgical specialties. The mechanism of antibacterialeffect of APG is not yet fully discovered. Subsequent evidence suggests that platelets have multi ple functional attributes inantimicrobial host defense (including the capacity to generate antimicrobial oxygen metabol ites and the antimicrobial peptides) and interact directly with microorganisms, contribute to clearance of pathogens from the blood. To investigate the bacteriostasis of APG against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro. Methods Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) were obtained from whole blood of 17 healthy donors. APG was prepared by mixing PRP with bovine thrombin in a 10% calcium gluconate solution or bovine thrombin in a 10% calcium gluconate solution and apocynin (APG-APO). Antibacterial effects of APG, PRP, and APG-APO on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were evaluated by bacteriostasis assay. Results The culture results showed apparent decrease in the number of Staphylococcus aureus for both APG and APG-APO, which was maximal at first 4 hours and lasted to 24 hours and 8 hours, respectively; showing significant difference (P lt; 0.05) when compared APG with PRP and PPP, however no significant difference at first 8 hours (P gt; 0.05) and significant difference at 12 and 24 hours (P lt; 0.05) when compared APG with APG-APO; showing significant difference at first 4 hours (P lt; 0.05), no significant difference at 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours when compared APG-APO with PRP and PPP (P gt; 0.05). The bacteriostasis rates of APG and APG-APO were 27.36%-52.97% and 18.82%-51.52% against Escherichia coli, respectively; showing no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) when compared with PRP. The bacteriostasis rates of APG and APG-APO were less than 35% against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) when compared with PRP; the bacteriostasis rates of PRP were less than 15% against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusion APG may have potential bacteriostatic effect against Staphylococcus aureus by platelet mediating. Either APG or APG-APO has no obvious bacteriostatic effect against Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PRP has no antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Objective To review and evaluate the clinical application of autologous plateletrich gel (APG) in refractory chronic diabetic cutaneous ulcers. Methods The latest literature was extensively reviewed, and the potential mechanism of APG for healing diabetic cutaneous ulcers was discussed. Results APG accelerated the ulcer healing, especially in healing the refractory diabetic cutaneous ulcers, and the high-level growth factors from the platelet releasate were thought to be the major potential mechanism of the APG action. Conclusion APG can promote the healing of refractory chronic diabetic cutaneous ulcers. Topical haemotherapy withAPG may be considered an adjuvant treatment of a multidisciplinary process and may be useful to the effective therapy of cutaneous ulcers.

In recent years, regenerative medical technology and modern rehabilitation technology complement each other and develop rapidly. Regenerative rehabilitation with tissue regeneration and functional recovery as the core concept arises at the historic moment. Regenerative rehabilitation can quickly repair damaged or diseased tissues and organs, and restore or improve the function of patients to the greatest extent. This paper introduces the origin and development of regenerative rehabilitation, discusses the research progress and significance of related strategies from three aspects of neurological, motor and circulatory diseases, and stress the importance of regenerative rehabilitation in helping patients to obtain the best curative effect.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of leucocyte- and platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in treating avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) in rabbits. MethodsTwenty-four New Zealand white rabbits (4-6 months old, both genders, weighing 2.0-3.0 kg) were used for the establishment of bilateral ANFH models and divided into 4 groups (n=6). BMSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of iliac crest, cultured and identified. L-PRP was prepared by Landesberg method. Core decompression only (group A), core decompression and L-PRP implantation (group B), core decompression and BMSCs implantation (group C), and core decompression and implantation of BMSCs and L-PRP were performed in 4 groups. To evaluate bone formation and remodeling of the defects, X-ray photography was taken at 2, 4, and 8 weeks postoperatively. The modified Lane-Sandhu scoring system was used to evaluate the bone formation. Two rabbits were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8 weeks after operation to harvest the specimens for histological observation, new blood vessel count and new bone area ratio. ResultsThe observations of radiology and histology displayed different degrees of bone regeneration at bone defect sites in each group. At 2, 4, and 8 weeks postoperatively, the results of Lane-Sandhu X-ray photography scoring, new blood vessel count, and new bone area ratio showed that groups C and D were significantly better than groups A and B, group D was significantly better than group C. and group B was significantly better than group A (P<0.05). ConclusionThese findings demonstrate that L-PRP can promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in treating ANFH in rabbits, and core decompression associated with BMSCs and L-PRP is an effective and feasible method to treat ANFH.
Coronary heart disease with gastrointestinal bleeding is common in clinical practice. The disease is dangerous and has a high mortality rate. This article will review the risk factors for coronary heart disease with gastrointestinal bleeding (including Helicobacter pylori infection, long-term use of antiplatelet drugs and combined anticoagulation drugs), blood transfusion strategies (including hemoglobin transfusion thresholds and platelet transfusion strategies), and the management of antithrombotic drugs after bleeding (including the management of antiplatelet drugs and the management of anticoagulation combined with antiplatelet drugs). The purpose is to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease with gastrointestinal bleeding.
