Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma is a platelet concentrate obtained from autologous whole blood after centrifugation, which contains a lot of growth factors and proteins. Activated platelets can release a variety of growth factors so as to accelerate cell proliferation and differentiation, and can effectively promote tissue repair. Platelet-rich plasma has been widely used in various clinical fields because of its convenient sampling and simple preparation. Overseas research on platelet-rich plasma has been carried out for a long time, and has achieved certain results.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research advance of platelet-rich plasma at abroad in recent 5 years.
METHODS: PubMed database was retrieved with the keywords of “plasma, platelet-rich, platelet rich plasma, platelet-rich plasma’’ and the retrieval time was from 2014-2018. The visual tool VOSviewer was used to deeply search the title information of the papers retrieved. The annual and national published number, and research topics were discussed. The knowledge map generated by software is used to visually display the hotspot of platelet-rich plasma research at abroad.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Thirty-eight relevant articles were retrieved. The results show that in the past five years the number of papers published on platelet-rich plasma in foreign countries has increased year by year, and the United States has the largest number of publications. Through co-word clustering analysis, the hotspots of platelet-rich plasma are mainly concentrated on the following five aspects: animal experiments, orthopedics, cytology experiments, stomatology and chronic wounds. Research results provide reference for the direction and hotspot of research on platelet-rich plasma in China.

Key words: platelet-rich plasma, clustering;, VOSviewer;, knowledge mapping, bibliometrics, co-word clustering analysis, orthopedics, stomatology, chronic wounds
