Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Platelet concentrates have been found to be a kind of platelet-rich plasma obtained by centrifugation of autologous whole blood, and has the ability to promote tissue healing. Platelet-rich plasma, as the first generation of platelet concentrates, can facilitate osteogenesis.

OBJECTIVE: To review the preparation, and classification of platelet-rich plasma, release of platelet-derived growth factor and its promoting function and clinical application of bone regeneration, so as to provide theoretical basis for further investigation on the effect and clinical application of platelet-rich plasma in bone regeneration.
METHODS: CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved using the keywords of “platelet-rich plasma, bone defect, bone regeneration, growth factors” in English and Chinese, respectively for the articles published from July 1970 to July 2018. Totally 136 articles were searched. The preparation and classification of platelet-rich plasma, the release of platelet-derived growth factor and promote bone regeneration effect and clinical applications were summarized.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Platelet-rich plasma is a plasma product with different concentrations of platelets obtained by controlling centrifugation. It is derived from peripheral blood and has the advantages of abundant source, convenient material, simple preparation and absorbability. Platelet-rich plasma not only has the effect of hemostasis, but contains various high concentrations of growth factors and fibrin, which provides a beneficial growth environment and scaffold for cells and tissues. Moreover, it can stimulate soft tissue regeneration, promote early closure of wound, and provides the environment for a variety of inflammatory factor repair and prevents infection. Platelet-rich plasma can accelerate the repair of damaged or bone defects. Combined with other therapies in regenerative medicine, it provides new ideas for promoting healing and shortening healing time, especially has a broad prospect in the repair of bone, cartilage and tendon.
