ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effects and mechanism of allogeneic platelet rich plasma (PRP) on collagen in wound surface at different time.@*Methods@#A total of 50 clean 7-week rats were selected for this study, including 10 rats for platelet-rich blood plasma preparation, 20 rats for PRP group and 20 rats for control group, 0.1 ml allogenic PRP and 0.1 ml saline were smeared respectively on wound surfaces of PRP and control group, wound regeneration and healing were examined. Cellular and histological morphology alteration was observed via Masson staining, type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen protein and mRNA expression level were detected by Western blot and real-time PCR. T test was applied for comparison between two samples and one-way ANOVA was utilized for comparison between two groups.@*Results@#The wound healing rate of PRP group was higher than that of control group on 3rd, 6th, 10th and 15th day (30.33±3.35 vs.18.35±2.04, 55.51±2.74 vs.36.83±2.34, 79.64±1.40 vs.56.92±1.44, 86.88±2.12 vs.65.80±1.76) after wound surface formation, there were statistic differences (t=13.66-50.48, all P<0.05). The wound collagen of PRP group form faster and coarser, and the fibers arrayed more densely in Masson staining. The protein expression of type Ⅰ collagen(1.92±0.09 vs.1.18±0.11) and type Ⅲ collagen(1.16±0.05 vs.0.74±0.11) of PRP group were higher than that of control group (t=22.99, P<0.01; t=17.62, P<0.05); the mRNA expression of type Ⅰ collagen(5.17±0.11 vs.1.79±0.18, 6.97±0.09 vs.1.96±0.08, 6.00±0.26 vs.2.10±0.05, 4.95±0.11 vs.3.58±0.09)and type Ⅲ collagen(2.35±0.08 vs.1.44±0.05, 3.08±0.05 vs.1.84±0.06, 3.48±0.07 vs.2.36±0.09, 4.42±0.07 vs.2.77±0.10) were higher than that of control group on 3rd, 6th, 10th and 15th day after wound surface formation, there were significant differences (t=43.37-188.37, all P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The allogeneic platelet rich plasma may promote fibroblasts secreted collagen by activated and releasing all kinds of growth factors, especially type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen to accelerate the wound healing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the new way of administration and clinical effect of botulinum toxin A in the treatment of focal hyperhidrosis.Methods The clinical efficacy was observed in 132 sites of 28 patients with focal hyperhidrosis,and the degree and range of focal hyperhidrosis were determined by the minor iodine-starch test.50 U of botulinum toxin A was injected in unilateral axillary,palms and soles with BellaVita instrument and 30 U for forehead.Each patient was followed-up in 1 week,2 weeks and every month after injection for 8 months.According to the results of the minor iodine-starch test the objective effect and evaluation score were obtained,and the comprehensive effect evaluation score was calculated with the objective effect evaluation score and the subjective effect evaluation score in each follow-up.Results The comprehensive effect evaluation score before injection of botulinum toxin A was 1.34±3.94,and that after injection was 23.21±9.44 for 1 week,92.41±11.95 for 1 month,98.21±5.60 for 2 months,95.98±5.94 for 3 months,and 86.61±10.17 for 4 months,respectively.Compared with that before injection,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05).The effect decreased slowly after 4 months of injection,and the efficacy was maintained for 8 months (4.46±6.98);compared with that before injection,the difference of the clinical efficacy was not statistically significant (P ＞0.05).Based on the comprehensive effect evaluation scores,the differ ence of the clinical efficacy was not statistically significant between 1 week and 6 months after injection (P＞0.05).Conclusions The clinical effect of botulinum toxin A injected by BellaVita is prompt and effective for focal hyperhidrosis.
