Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an essential component of extracellular matrix and mediates signaling in wound healing. HA could induce growth factor release from Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF), including Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF). However, concentrations of the released-VEGF and PDGF have not been clearly disclosed. Therefore, current study was conducted to measure the release of these growth factors in HA + A-PRF gel of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) subjects.METHODS: Twenty DFU subjects were included in the study and treated with A-PRF or HA+A-PRF. A-PRF was derived from autologous peripheral blood and processed with low-speed centrifugation. HA was added with a ratio of 1:0.6. A-PRF or HA + A-PRF was applied topically on DFU. Upper tips of A-PRF or HA + A-PRF gels were collected on day 0, 3 and 7 for measurements of VEGF and PDGF concentrations with Enzyme-linked Immune-sorbent Assay (ELISA) methods.RESULTS: On day-3, both VEGF and PDGF concentrations of HA + A-PRF group were significantly higher than the VEGF (p=0.000) and PDGF (p=0.019) concentrations of A-PRF group. The VEGF and PDGF concentrations were continuously and significantly increased on day-7 of HA + A-PRF group, compared to the VEGF (p=0.000) and PDGF (p=0.004) concentrations of A-PRF group.CONCLUSION: Combination HA+A-PRF induces VEGF and PDGF release from A-PRF. A mixture of A-PRF and HA could be more effective than A-PRF alone for treatment of DFU.KEYWORDS: hyaluronic acid, advanced platelet rich fibrin, PRF, growth factor, VEGF, PDGF, diabetic foot ulcer

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is the most common and threatening complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Ideal wound dressing for DFU management should relieve symptoms, provide wound protection, and encourage healing. Advanced-Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) have been proven to improve wound healing process. This study was aimed to demonstrate the ability of combination of A-PRF and HA in reducing inflammation and improving DFU tissue healing.METHODS: Twenty DFU subjects were involved in this study, and divided into two groups based on the topical fibrin gel treatment: A-PRF + HA group and A-PRF only group. A-PRF was obtained by peripheral blood centrifugation. A-PRF + HA was prepared by homogening A-PRF and AH with a ratio of 1:0.6. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) level, granulation index (GI), numeric pain score (NPS), and inflammation clinical symptoms (ICS) were assessed on day-0, 3, 7 and 14.RESULTS: Wound swabs’ IL-6 level on day-7 was found to be significantly lower in A-PRF + HA compared to A-PRF alone (p=0.041). The IL-6 level reduction also found to be significant higher either in wound swabs (day 0-7, p=0.015) or fibrin gel (day 0-3, p=0.049; day 0-7, p=0.034). A-PRF + HA treatment significantly increased the GI even since day-3 (p=0.043), with lower NPS (p<0.001), and ICS score.CONCLUSION: The combination of A-PRF and HA increases the GI in DFU healing by reducing the inflammation state which will induce the angiogenesis process, as well as reducing pain in DFU subjects better than A-PRF alone.KEYWORDS: inflammation, interleukin-6, wound healing, angiogenesis, proliferation

Abstract

BACKGROUND: One type of thalassemia known as transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) requires a lifelong blood transfusion. Iron overload from prolonged blood transfusions causes nutritional disorders and several organs impairment, including the testicles. In contrast to an orchidometer, ultrasound shows more details of the testicles. This study aimed to compare testicular volumes based on ultrasound and orchidometer measurements and correlate testicular volume with nutritional status in TDT patients.METHODS: A cross-sectional study including 27 male thalassemia subjects who underwent routine check-ups was conducted. Measurements of testicular volume using an orchidometer and ultrasound, and body mass index (BMI) was performed. Ultrasound measurement of testicular volume was calculated using the Lambert Formula, while the orchidometer was performed by matching the bead next to the testicle.RESULTS: Most subjects were underweight (63%) or normal weight (37%). However, no significant correlation between BMI and testicular volume was found. As measured using an orchidometer, the mean volume of the right and left testes were 9.22±4.92 mL and 8.67±4.45 mL, respectively. Ultrasound measurement showed the mean values of the right and left testicles were 7.68±3.96 mL and 7.09±4.03 mL, respectively. Testicular measurements obtained using ultrasound showed a significant difference (p<0.05) when compared with the orchidometer. The testicle measured by ultrasound was smaller, which was more accurate. However, the comparison between the right and the left testicular volumes showed no significance.CONCLUSION: Thalassemia patients are mainly underweight, and their nutritional status have no relationship with testicular volume. Ultrasound, as compared to an orchidometer, is better for measuring testicular volume.KEYWORDS: thalassemia, testicle, orchidometer, ultrasound, body mass index
