Autologous platelet-rich plasma (au-PRP) has been widely used for the management of refractory chronic wounds. However, patients with diabetic lower extremity ulcers (DLEUs) usually have complicated clinical conditions, and the utility of au-PRP is limited. In this study, the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of allogeneic platelet-rich plasma (al-PRP) and au-PRP were investigated and compared in the treatment of DLEUs. A total of 75 in-patients with type 2 diabetes were assigned to the al-PRP group ( n = 20), au-PRP group ( n = 25), and conventional wound therapeutic (CWT) group ( n = 30) matched by the ankle brachial index and ulcer size from December 2015 to August 2018. Based on metabolic and nutritional regulation, infective control, and topical wound management, al-PRP, au-PRP, and CWT were administered to each group, respectively. Evaluation of treatment outcomes was determined by the parameters of wound healing and adverse reactions. The therapeutic times and average concentration of platelets were not significantly different between the au-PRP and al-PRP groups. The wound healing times of the al-PRP group (56.9 ± 29.22 d) and au-PRP group (55.6 ± 33.8 d) were significantly shorter than those of the CWT group (88.0 ± 43.4 d) ( P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between the groups with PRP treatment. Although there was no significant difference in the daily healing area among all groups ( P > 0.05), the trend of the healing rate in the al-PRP group (16.77 ± 12.85 mm2), au-PRP group (14.31 ± 18.28 mm2), and CWT group (9.90 ± 8.51 mm2) gradually decreased. No obvious adverse reactions (fever, edema, pain, skin itching, rash, or other sensory abnormalities) were observed in either the au-PRP or the al-PRP groups. Both al-PRP and au-PRP could effectively and safely promote wound healing in patients with DLEUs. Alternatively, al-PRP could be used for DLEUs as an off-the-shelf solution when au-PRP is limited.

Introduction. The analysis of the effectiveness of applying autologous platelet-rich plasma was performed in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with wounds that heal slowly. Materials. The study is based on the analysis of the treatment of 61 patients who suffered from slow-healing wounds of venous genesis with a diameter of no more than 8 cm on the lower extremities and took the treatment at the surgical ward. The proposed method was based on obtaining autologous enriched platelet plasma followed by its injection along the periphery of the wound. The degree of reduction of the wound surface area was assessed by the method of contact planimetry per day. The patients of the 1st group demonstrated the wound area reduction by 5.1 ± 0.6%, and the patients of the group 2 – by 1.8 ± 0.4% (p <0005). The results indicate an increase in the rate of wound healing in patients in group 1 compared with patients in group 2. During the entire follow-up period (12 weeks), complete wound epithelialisation occurred in 21 (70%) patients in group 1 and in 10 (33.3%) patients of the group 2. The wound area decreased by more than 50% in 6 patients of group 1 (20%) and in 2 (7%) patients of the control group. The wound area decreased less than by 50% in 3 patients in group 1 (10%), and in 19 patients in group 2 (60%). The use of PRP therapy has been proven to have a significant positive effect on the process of wound healing compared with the use of standard methods used for the control group. Conclusion: increase in the wound healing pace in patients of group 1 (test) compared with patients of group 2 (control) can be explained by using autologous platelet-enriched plasma as an additional means to the standard therapy.

Background: Chronic wounds are a frequent problem and pose a heavy burden to the service provider. Platelet extract containing several growth factors used on chronic wounds has shown impressive results in both healing percentage and time for epithelisation. Platelet extract from the patient’s own blood has been used in trials as a cheap and equally effective alternative to commercial platelet gels. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the therapeutic role of autologous platelet rich plasma (APRP) in epithelialisation and reduction in size of chronic wounds of lower limb.Methods: It is a case control study, conducted at Sri Adichunchanagiri Hospital and Research Centre, B.G. Nagara, Karnataka. Conducted during January 2017 to June 2018 this study consisted of 30 patients with chronic ulcers between the age group of 18-80 years, with duration of ulcer ranging from 12 to 26 weeks. After obtaining consent they were randomly allotted into control and test groups with 15 patients each. Control group patients were treated with conventional dressing and in test group APRP dressing was done. Later percentage decrease in wound size was assessed.Results: Ulcer size decreased significantly (p<0.0001) in test group compared to control group. No unwanted effects or complications noted.Conclusions: APRP is a safe and effective treatment modality for chronic non-healing ulcers. It enhances healing and also decreases the associated cost and morbidity. Further research and randomized controlled clinical trials on larger patient population are necessary to validate the results.

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate topical EGF, VEGF, MMP12 concentrations of ​​chronic wounds which after Autologous Platelet - Rich Plasma(PRP) therapy. Methods: The study conducted a descriptive longitudinal study at the Wound Healing Center of the Vietnam National Burn Hospital from 11/2018 to 2/2020. 24 patients with chronic wounds and aged 18 years old or older were enrolled in this study. These patients were injected autologous PRP at wound bed. We biopsied chronic wound bed tissue for evaluating EGF, VEGF and MMP12 by the Elisa technique at the first, second and third week of follow-up. Results: After PRP therapy, topical EGF and VEGF concentration increased after 1 week of treatment. MMP12 concentraiton significantly reduced compaired to before PRP therapy. Conclusion: In addition to PRP therapy had a beneficial effect on cutaneous regeneration and wound healing of the chronic wound. The autologous PRP promoted the wound healing process byincreating topical EGF and VEGF, reducing MMP12 which known as a pro-inflammatiory mediator.
