Therapeutic Effectiveness of Leukocyte-and Platelet-rich Fibrin for Diabetic Foot Ulcers:A Retrospective Study

Objective Diabetic foot ulcer(DFU)is one of the most serious complications of diabetes.Leukocyte-and platelet-rich fibrin(L-PRF)is a second-generation autologous platelet-rich plasma.This study aims to investigate the clinical effects of L-PRF in patients with diabetes in real clinical practice.Methods Patients with DFU who received L-PRF treatment and standard of care(SOC)from 2018 to 2019 in Tongji Hospital were enrolled.The clinical information including patient characteristics,wound evaluation(area,severity,infection,blood supply),SOC of DFU,and images of ulcers was retrospectively extracted and analyzed.L-PRF treatment was performed every 7±2 days until the ulcer exhibited complete epithelialization or an overall percent volume reduction(PVR)greater than 80%.Therapeutic effectiveness,including overall PVR and the overall and weekly healing rates,was evaluated.Results Totally,26 patients with DFU were enrolled,and they had an ulcer duration of 47.0(35.0,72.3)days.The severity and infection of ulcers varied,as indicated by the Site,Ischemia,Neuropathy,Bacterial Infection,and Depth(SINBAD)scores of 2–6,Wagner grades of 1–4,and the Perfusion,Extent,Depth,Infection and Sensation(PEDIS)scores of 2–4.The initial ulcer volume before L-PRF treatment was 4.94(1.50,13.83)cm3,and the final ulcer volume was 0.35(0.03,1.76)cm3.The median number of L-PRF doses was 3(2,5).A total of 11 patients achieved complete epithelialization after the fifth week of treatment,and 19 patients achieved at least an 80%volume reduction after the seventh week.The overall wound-healing rate was 1.47(0.63,3.29)cm3/week,and the healing rate was faster in the first 2 weeks than in the remaining weeks.Concurrent treatment did not change the percentage of complete epithelialization or healing rate.Conclusion Adding L-PRF to SOC significantly improved wound healing in patients with DFU independent of the ankle brachial index,SINBAD score,or Wagner grade,indicating that this method is appropriate for DFU treatment under different clinical conditions.

Platelet-rich fibrin-induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into osteoblast-like cells and neural cells

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were allowed to develop for 14 days in a platelet-rich fibrin environment.Results demonstrated that platelet-rich fibrin significantly promoted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation.In addition,there was a dose-dependent increase in Runt-related transcription factor-2 and bone morphogenetic protein-2 mRNA expression,as well as neuron-specific enolase and glial acidic protein.Results showed that platelet-rich fibrin promoted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells and neural cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics with platelet-rich fibrin in an adult patient with periodontal disease:A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND In the clinical scenario,adult patients with periodontal diseases and dental malformation,characterized by dental crowding in lower anterior teeth with the thin biotype,often require orthodontic treatment.This case report aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics(PAOO)combined with autologous platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)in an adult patient with class I malocclusion along with dental crowding,a thin periodontal biotype,and buccal plate deficiency.CASE SUMMARY A 32-year-old female complaining of dental crowding and gingival bleeding was referred to the orthodontic clinic.The patient underwent periodontal risk assessment prior to orthodontic treatment.She was diagnosed with a high risk of gingival recession due to dental crowding,root prominence,loss of buccal plates,and a thin gingival tissue biotype.The treatment regimen included PAOO combined with autologous PRF for alveolar augmentation and interproximal enamel reduction for moderate dental crowding.Clinically,PAOO-assisted orthodontic tooth movement in this case showed enhanced periodontium remodeling.Radiographic outcomes also showed statistically significant improvements(P<0.01)in the mandibular buccal alveolar bone.CONCLUSION This case report suggests the combination of autologous PRF with PAOO to enhance bone augmentation and long-term tissue support in adult orthodontic patients with periodontal disease.

Peri-implant keratinized gingiva augmentation using xenogeneic collagen matrix and platelet-rich fibrin:A case report

BACKGROUND Keratinized gingival insufficiency is a disease attributed to long-term tooth loss,can severely jeopardizes the long-term health of implants.A simple and effective augmentation surgery method should be urgently developed.CASE SUMMARY A healthy female patient,45-year-old,requested implant restoration of the her left mandibular first molar and second molar.Before considering a stage II,as suggested from the probing depth measurements,the widths of the mesial,medial,and distal buccal keratinized gingiva of second molar(tooth#37)were measured and found to be 0.5 mm,0.5 mm,and 0 mm,respectively.This suggested that the gingiva was insufficient to resist damage from bacterial and mechanical stimulation.Accordingly,modified apically repositioned flap(ARF)surgery combined with xenogeneic collagen matrix(XCM)and platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)was employed to increase the width of gingival tissue.After 1 mo of healing,the widths of mesial,medial,and distal buccal keratinized gingiva reached 4 mm,4 mm,and 3 mm,respectively,and the thickness of the augmented mucosa was 4.5 mm.Subsequently,through the second-stage operation,the patient obtained an ideal soft tissue shape around the implant.CONCLUSION For cases with keratinized gingiva widths around implants less than 2mmthe soft tissue width and thickness could be increased by modified ARF surgery combined with XCM and PRF.Moreover,this surgery significantly alleviated patients’pain and ameliorated oral functional comfort.

Early therapeutic effect of platelet-rich fibrin combined with allogeneic bone marrow-derived stem cells on rats’ critical-sized mandibular defects

BACKGROUND Critically sized bone defects represent a significant challenge to orthopaedic surgeons worldwide.These defects generally result from severe trauma or resection of a whole large tumour.Autologous bone grafts are the current gold standard for the reconstruction of such defects.However,due to increased patient morbidity and the need for a second operative site,other lines of treatment should be introduced.To find alternative unconventional therapies to manage such defects,bone tissue engineering using a combination of suitable bioactive factors,cells,and biocompatible scaffolds offers a promising new approach for bone regeneration.AIM To evaluate the healing capacity of platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)membranes seeded with allogeneic mesenchymal bone marrow-derived stem cells(BMSCs)on critically sized mandibular defects in a rat model.METHODS Sixty-three Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to bilateral bone defects of critical size in the mandibles created by a 5-mm diameter trephine bur.Rats were allocated to three equal groups of 21 rats each.Group I bone defects were irrigated with normal saline and designed as negative controls.Defects of group II were grafted with PRF membranes and served as positive controls,while defects of group III were grafted with PRF membranes seeded with allogeneic BMSCs.Seven rats from each group were killed at 1,2 and 4 wk.The mandibles were dissected and prepared for routine haematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining,Masson's trichrome staining and CD68 immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS Four weeks postoperatively,the percentage area of newly formed bone was significantly higher in group III(0.88±0.02)than in groups I(0.02±0.00)and II(0.60±0.02).The amount of granulation tissue formation was lower in group III(0.12±0.02)than in groups I(0.20±0.02)and II(0.40±0.02).The number of inflammatory cells was lower in group III(0.29±0.03)than in groups I(4.82±0.08)and II(3.09±0.07).CONCLUSION Bone regenerative quality of critically sized mandibular bone defects in rats was better promoted by PRF membranes seeded with BMSCs than with PRF membranes alone.

Rescuing“hopeless”avulsed teeth using autologous platelet-rich fibrin following delayed reimplantation:Two case reports

BACKGROUND Tooth avulsion is one of the most severe types of dental trauma.Most avulsed teeth undergo long-term ankylosis and replacement resorption after delayed reimplantation and exhibit a poor prognosis.The aim of this work was to improve the success rate of avulsed teeth after delayed reimplantation using autologous platelet-rich fibrin(PRF).CASE SUMMARY Case 1 was a 14-year-old boy who fell and knocked out his left upper central incisor 18 h prior to his arrival at the department.The diagnoses were avulsion of tooth 21,lateral luxation of tooth 11 and alveolar fracture of teeth 11 and 21.In case 2,a 17-year-old boy fell 2 h prior to his presentation to the hospital,and his left upper lateral incisor was completely knocked out of the alveolar socket.The diagnoses included avulsion of tooth 22,complicated crown fracture of tooth 11and complicated crown-root fracture of tooth 21.The avulsed teeth were reimplanted along with autologous PRF granules and splinted using a semiflexible titanium preshaped labial arch.The root canals of the avulsed teeth were filled with calcium hydroxide paste,and root canal filling was performed 4 wk after reimplantation.The reimplanted teeth showed no symptoms of inflammatory root resorption or ankylosis at the 3-,6-,and 12-mo follow-up examinations after reimplantation with autologous PRF.In addition to the avulsed teeth,the other injured teeth were treated using corresponding conventional treatment methods.CONCLUSION These cases provide examples of the successful use of PRF to reduce pathological root resorption of the avulsed teeth,and the application of PRF may provide new healing opportunities for traditionally“hopeless”avulsed teeth.

Implant site development using titanium plate and platelet-rich fibrin for congenitally missed maxillary lateral incisors:A case report

BACKGROUND Bone deficiency and soft tissue atrophy in the absence of maxillary lateral incisors are among the most challenging problems for implant clinicians.Autologous bone grafting is the gold standard for bone augmentation,but not without limitations.Platelet-rich fibrin(PRF),a biodegradable autologous biomaterial,has been widely used for bone and soft tissue management.Moreover,titanium plate is an advantageous barrier due to its good space-maintaining ability.However,there is a lack of literature on implant site development using titanium plate and PRF for congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors.CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 19-year-old girl with a congenitally missing tooth(#12).She underwent implant placement and simultaneous autologous bone grafting with titanium plate and PRF.At the follow-up visit 15 d post-procedure,the vascularization of soft tissue was visible.There was no swelling or pain after the surgery.Six months postoperatively,bone regeneration was evident.Subsequently,the definitive restoration was placed,and the patient was satisfied with the esthetic outcomes.CONCLUSION Implant site development using titanium plate and PRF for congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors is a feasible procedure.In this case,the labial bone plate was displaced but remained connected to the base bone,ensuring blood supply.The titanium plate fixed the labial bone plate and maintained the osteogenic space,while the PRF provided growth factors and leukocytes for bone and soft tissue regeneration.Furthermore,the procedure reduced the surgical complexity and adverse reactions,displaying outstanding esthetic outcomes.

Comparative evaluation of effect of injectable platelet-rich fibrin with collagen membrane compared with collagen membrane alone for gingival recession coverage

BACKGROUND Collagen membrane and platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)have emerged as vital biomaterials in the field of periodontal regeneration.Minimally invasive techniques are being preferred by most periodontists,as it is patient compliant with fewer post-surgical complications as compared to conventional surgical techniques.Thus,in this study we have evaluated the effect of injectable PRF(i-PRF)with collagen membrane compared with collagen membrane alone using vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access(VISTA)technique for gingival recession coverage.AIM To compare the efficacy of VISTA using collagen membrane with collagen membrane soaked in injectable PRF for gingival recession coverage.METHODS A split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial was designed;13 subjects having at least 2 teeth indicated for recession coverage were enrolled in this study.The sites were randomly assigned to control group(VISTA using collagen membrane alone)and the test group(VISTA using collagen membrane with i-PRF).The clinical parameters assessed were pocket depth,recession depth(RD),recession width(RW),relative attachment level,keratinised tissue width(KTW),keratinised tissue thickness(KTT),and percentage root coverage.RESULTS RD showed a statistically significant difference between the test group at 3 mo(0.5±0.513)and 6 mo(0.9±0.641)and the control group at 3 mo(0.95±0.51)and 6 mo(1.5±0.571),with P values of 0.008 and 0.04,respectively.RW also showed a statistically significant difference between the test group at 3 mo(1±1.026)and 6 mo(1.65±1.04)and the control group at 3 mo(1.85±0.875)and 6 mo(2.25±0.759),with P values of 0.008 and 0.001,respectively.Results for KTW showed statistically significant results between the test group at 1 mo(2.85±0.489),3 mo(3.5±0.513),and 6 mo(3.4±0.598)and the control group at 1 mo(2.45±0.605),3 mo(2.9±0.447),and 6 mo(2.75±0.444),with P values of 0.04,0.004,and 0.003,respectively.Results for KTT also showed statistically significant results between test group at 1 mo(2.69±0.233),3 mo(2.53±0.212),and 6 mo(2.46±0.252)and the control group at 1 mo(2.12±0.193),3 mo(2.02±0.18),and 6 mo(1.91±0.166),with P values of 0.001,0.001,and 0.001,respectively.The test group showed 91.6%,81.6%,and 67%root coverage at 1 mo,3 mo,and 6 mo,while the control group showed 82.3%,66.4%,and 53.95%of root coverage at 1 mo,3 mo,and 6 mo,respectively.CONCLUSION The use of minimally invasive VISTA technique along with collagen membrane and injectable form of platelet-rich fibrin can be successfully used as a treatment method for multiple or isolated gingival recessions of Miller’s class-I and class-II defects.

Flapless immediate implant placement into fresh molar extraction socket using platelet-rich fibrin: A case report

BACKGROUND There are some challenges concerning immediate implant placement in the molar region.Platelet-rich fibrin(PRF),an autologous biomaterial,has been used widely for periodontal intra-bony defects,sinus augmentation,socket preservation,and gingival recession.However,the literature remains scarce for reports on immediate implants with PRF,particularly in the case of fresh molar extraction socket.CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 43-year-old woman with maxillary molar vertical crown-root fracture.She underwent flapless immediate implant placement into the fresh molar socket with PRF.At the follow-up visit 15 d post procedure,the vascularization of soft tissue was visible.There was no swelling or pain after the surgery.Six months postoperatively,the regeneration of bone and soft tissues was visible.Subsequently,the definitive restoration was placed.The patient was satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes.CONCLUSION The flapless immediate implant placement into the fresh molar socket with PRF is a feasible procedure.This case report demonstrates that PRF promotes bone and soft tissue regeneration apart from having an enhanced anti-inflammatory ability.Furthermore,the procedure involves a minimally invasive technique,thus reducing the surgical complexity.

Leucocyte-and platelet-rich fibrin as a rescue therapy for small-to-medium-sized complex wounds of the lower extremities

Background:Generally,advanced wound care resources are applied for complex wounds that pose a challenge to the medical and nursing teams.In this report,the use of leukocyte-and platelet-rich fibrin(L-PRF)is emphasized for complex wounds as an alternative,simple,inexpensive,time-saving process that does not require hospitalization and has a healing potential over that of bare soft tissue,including bone,tendon,and ligaments.The aim of this study is to extend the use of L-PRF in small-to-moderate-sized complex wounds of lower extremities in which L-PRF maintains the sensitive structures viable.Methods:Between January 2016 and December 2017,17 small-to-moderate-sized complex wounds of lower extremities treated with L-PRF were recruited from the plastic and reconstructive surgery clinic in Aydin State Hospital,Turkey.The treatment was administered twice per week in the outpatient clinic.Depending on the size and extension of the complex wound,two to five blood samples were collected into 8.5 ml dry,glass vacuum tubes with no anticoagulant,and samples were immediately centrifuged at 1630×g for 5 min to obtain L-PRF.Complete healing was defined as the day of complete wound epithelialization.Results:The median values of the initial wound size and wound duration were 12 cm^(2)(interquartile range,6 to 23 cm^(2))and 8 months before first admission(interquartile range,4 to 18 months),respectively.All wounds showed significant improvements after L-PRF therapy and full closure after a median of 18months,with an interquartile range of 11 to 34 months of L-PRF applications.There were recurrences of wounds during the first 6 months after therapy.No adverse events were observed.Conclusions:Our results add to the growing evidence that L-PRF treatments protect and maintain bare soft tissue structures viable,facilitate the formation of granulation tissue and epithelization,and remarkably reduce the need for additional soft tissue surgeries in small-to-medium-sized complex wounds.

Encapsulation of lyophilized platelet-rich fibrin in alginate-hyaluronic acid hydrogel as a novel vascularized substitution for myocardial infarction

Cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction(MI)are among the major causes of death worldwide.Although intramyocardial injection of hydrogels can effectively enhance the ventricular wall,this approach is limited because of its restriction to the poor vascularization in the infarcted myocardium.Here,we reported a new type of hydrogel composed of alginate(ALG)and hyaluronic acid(HA)with lyophilized platelet-rich fibrin(Ly-PRF)for releasing abundant growth factors to realize their respective functions.The results of in vitro studies demonstrated favorable mechanical property and release ability of ALG-HA with Ly-PRF.When injected into the infarcted myocardium,this composite hydrogel preserved heart function and the Ly-PRF within the hydrogel promoted angiogenesis and increased vascular density in both infarcted and border zone,which rescued the ischemic myocardium.These beneficial effects were also accompanied by macrophage polarization and regulation of myocardial fibrosis.Moreover,the autologous origin of Ly-PRF with ALG-HA hydrogel offers myriad advantages including safety profile,easiness to obtain and cost-effectiveness.Overall,this study demonstrated the versatile therapeutic effects of a novel composite hydrogel ALG-HA with Ly-PRF,which optimizes a promising vascularized substitution strategy for improving cardiac function after MI.

Utilizing 3D bioprinted platelet-rich fibrin-based materials to promote the regeneration of oral soft tissue

Oral soft tissue defects remain difficult to treat owing to the limited efficacy of available treatment materials.Although the injectable platelet-rich fibrin(i-PRF)is a safe,autologous source of high levels of growth factors that is often employed to promote the regeneration of oral soft tissue,its effectiveness is restrained by difficulties in intraoperative shaping together with the burst-like release of growth factors.We herein sought to develop a bioactive bioink composed of i-PRF,alginate and gelatin capable of promoting the regeneration of the oral soft tissue.This bioink was successfully applied in 3D bioprinting and exhibited its ability to be shaped to individual patient needs.Importantly,we were also able to significantly prolong the duration of multiple growth factors release as compared to that observed for i-PRF.The growth factor bioavailability was further confirmed by the enhanced proliferation and viability of printed gingival fibroblasts.When deployed in vivo in nude mice,this bioink was further confirmed to be biocompatible and to drive enhanced angiogenic activity.Together,these data thus confirmthe successful production of an i-PRF-containing bioink,which is suitable for the individualized promotion of the regeneration of oral soft tissue.

Clinical Application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Dermatology

Platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)is a second-generation platelet concentrate obtained from autologous blood.PRF is composed of abundant platelets,leucocytes,and a high concentration of various growth factors and fibrinogen.The composition and three-dimensional structure of PRF enable it to effectively make cells migrate and proliferate,playing an important role in tissue repair.Furthermore,the easy preparation and low cost of PRF make it a good treatment option.Numerous articles have been published about the application of PRF in clinical practice,however,the application of PRF in dermatology has not been comprehensively reviewed.The objective of this review article was to discuss various applications of PRF in dermatology,including healing chronic wounds,treating androgenic alopecia,skin rejuvenation,autologous fat transplantation,and treating vitiligo.PRF is a promising dermatologic treatment,but lacks a standardized protocol regarding its methods of attainment and use,which needs more investigations.

Autologous platelet-rich-fibrin-induced revascularization sequelae:Two case reports Autologous platelet-rich-fibrin-induced revascularization sequelae:Two case reports

BACKGROUND A key requirement for biomimetic regeneration of tissues is a 3D scaffold.The gold standard scaffold for revascularization is the blood clot,however,an adequate blood clot cannot always be achieved in narrow canals or mature roots.Hereby,we document the effects of platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)for the regenerative endodontic treatment(RET)of two immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps for up to 48 mo.CASES SUMMARY The first patient was a 22-year-old female with history of trauma in tooth#9 with a sinus tract and a large periapical lesion.The second was a 9-year-old male presenting with a badly decayed tooth#14.Both cases were treated with RET and PRF prepared from the patients’blood.PRF and its extract were used as a scaffold for RET.Patients were followed-up to 9 and 48 mo(4 years),respectively.Both patients,were asymptomatic after treatment.At the 9-mo-follow-up of case#1,there was radiographic evidence of periapical bone healing,however,the root apex was still open.In case#2,the roots exhibited apical closure and normal periapical bone architecture at 12-mo follow-up,while no root lengthening was observed.After 48 mo,case#2 showed extensive intracanal calcification in all root canals that complicated conventional root canal treatment.CONCLUSION RET with PRF and its extract could be used in revascularization of immature permanent teeth.However,proper case selection to comply with long-term follow-up is necessary and adverse events such as calcification and canal obliteration should be planned for.
