Designing the Hotspots Distribution by Anisotropic Growth

Changing the morphology of noble metal nanoparticles and polarization dependence of nanoparticles with different morphologies is an important part of further research on surface plasma enhancement. Therefore, we used the method based on Matlab simulation to provide a simple and effective method for preparing the morphologies of Au nanoparticles with different morphologies, and prepared the structure of Au nanoparticles with good uniformity and different morphologies by oblique angle deposition (OAD) technology. The change of the surface morphology of nanoparticles from spherical to square to diamond can be effectively controlled by changing the deposition angle. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method was used to simulate the electromagnetic fields of Au nanoparticles with different morphologies to explore the polarization dependence of nanoparticles with different shapes, which was in good agreement with Raman spectrum.

Platelet rich plasma enhancement of skin regeneration in an ex vivo human experimental model

An original ex vivo wounded skin culture protocol using autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and enriched Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium demonstrated a favourable modulation of the epithelial cells and fibroblasts proliferation, a relevant antiinflammatory action and a favourable modulation of the re-organization of collagen and elastic fibres. The step by step regenerative effects of PRP on human skin wound repair and regeneration process was observed over a period of 10 days.
