Efeito do Plasma Rico em Plaquetas na apoptose pós-traumática de condrócitos

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate if the injection of intra-articular platelet--rich plasma (PRP) can reduce impact-induced chondrocyte apoptosis. Methods: A double-blind experimental study was developed in four knees of two adult rabbits. Each knee was injured after anesthesia. Subsequently, 1ml PRP was injected in the right knees and 1ml of normal saline (NS) in the left knees. The animals were euthanized ten days after the intervention. All cartilage was removed from the 4 knees and prepared for analysis in electron m… Show more

“…The use of heterologous PRP was not associated with the presence of signs suggestive of infection, similar to that reported by Rezende et al 12 who used a heterologous PRP source. Similar results were also observed with autologous PRP treatments 23,24 .…”

“…The sample size used in this study was set because of bioethical issues and to ensure that the number of animals included would provide reliable and valid scientific results in terms of statistical significance. In addition, previous work performed and published by the researchers corroborates the use of smaller sample sizes, as planned in this study 1,8,12,14,15 .…”

“…Despite this finding, the use of heterologous PRP did not result in the presence of infection or an allergic reaction, corroborating other studies that have utilized heterologous sources of PRP. 11,25 Collagen fibres were present in all the groups (Figure 2), with the highest quantities in the rabbits treated in the GA and GHO groups (P > 0.05). The same was found for tendon lesions in rabbits that were treated with PRP and porcine collagen.…”
