Evaluation of orthobiological ozonized platelet-rich plasma therapy post-arthroscopic suturing and lone partial meniscectomy in the treatment of meniscal tears within degenerative knee osteoarthritis. Knee 2024; 50:69-76. [PMID: 39128172 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2024.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee joint osteoarthritis (OA)-related meniscal tears are still sometimes treated in centers by arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM), which is then followed by a solitary physical therapy regimen. OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of intra-articular injection of ozonized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid following arthroscopic suturing, and APM to treat meniscal tear degenerative type. METHODS In a randomized trial of prospective comparative research, 104 patients, all of whom had meniscal tears due to OA of the knee, were randomly divided into two groups. The participants in Group A (55 patients) were given intra-articular ozonized PRP and hyaluronate therapeutics, following arthroscopic suturing of meniscal tear treatment (ASMT) of degenerative knee joint OA. Group B (49 patients) was prepared for APM alone. Both groups were followed by physical therapy and a follow up visit throughout 12, 24, and 36 months. The WOMAC and Lequesne scores were evaluated. RESULTS At every follow up visit for 6, 12, and 24, months, there was a significant decline in the mean of WOMAC and Lequesne scores in Groups A and B relative to baseline. Additionally, Group A significantly (P<0.0001) outperformed Group B at 12, 24, and 36 months for both Lequesne's and WOMAC scores. There were infection, stiffness, and widespread OA knee degeneration detected in Group B while no serious adverse effects were observed in Group A. CONCLUSION The study's findings demonstrated that physical and intra-articular orthobiological ozonized PRP and hyaluronate therapies were more effective than APM in treating degenerative knee joint OA.

J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:284. [PMID: 38720362 PMCID: PMC11077828 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04736-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the variations in clinical effectiveness among patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis who underwent intra-articular administration of platelet-rich plasma using single, triple, or quintuple injections. METHODS One hundred twenty patients with grade I-III knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to three groups: PRP1 group, who received a single injection of platelet-rich plasma; PRP3 group, who received three PRP injections one week apart; PRP5 group, who received five PRP injections one week apart. The patients' conditions were evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index-VA3.1 version (WOMAC-VA3.1) at baseline and 6, 12, 24, and 52 weeks 52 weeks follow up. RESULTS Out of the total participants, 106 patients (30 males and 76 females) completed the study. The primary outcome measure, WOMAC pain score, registered significant improvements across all groups when compared to pre-treatment levels. However, the application of 3 and 5 injections of platelet-rich plasma was substantially more effective than that of a single injection in reducing knee pain and stiffness, as well as enhancing physical function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. No statistically discernable difference was observed between PRP3 and PRP5 at all follow-up intervals, and there was no discernable difference between 3 and 5 PRP injections either. Mild side effects occurred in all three groups. CONCLUSIONS The administration of three or five injections of platelet-rich plasma is safe, substantially more effective than single injections, and leads to remarkable clinical improvement by significantly reducing knee pain, improving joint stiffness, and enhancing physical function in patients with grade I-III knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed in the efficacy of three or five injections. Therefore, we recommend using three injections of PRP in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis of grade I-III.

Abstract
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) approach may be an effective treatment for joint and cartilage pathologies. However, the rationale for its effectiveness on joint instability is limited. This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of PRP injections in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). This retrospective study was performed at a single-center outpatient clinic between January 2015 and February 2023 and included pre-intervention assessment and short-term follow-up. Patients were excluded if they had received previous surgical treatment or had constitutional hyperlaxity, systemic diseases, or grade II or III osteoarthritis. The clinical and functional evaluation consisted of the Karlsson score, the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), Good's grading system, the patient's subjective satisfaction level, and the time required to return to exercise. The entire PRP therapy regime consisted of three PRP administrations at 7-day intervals and follow-up appointments. PRP was administered both intraarticularly and into talofibular ligaments. A total of 47 consecutive patients with CLAI were included, 11 were female (23.4%), with a mean age at intervention of 31.19 ± 9.74 years. A statistically significant improvement was found in the CAIT and Karlsson scores at 3 months (27.74 ± 1.68 and 96.45 ± 4.28, respectively) relative to the pre-intervention status (10.26 ± 4.33 and 42.26 ± 14.9, respectively, p < 0.000). The mean follow-up of patients with CLAI was 17.94 ± 3.25 weeks. This study represents successful short-term functional and clinical outcomes in patients with CLAI after PRP treatment, with no adverse effects. It demonstrates the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to further assess this therapy.

[PMID: 38410168 PMCID: PMC10896053 DOI: 10.1177/23259671241227863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Confusion persists regarding the ideal dosage of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for knee osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy of 2 different single-injection PRP dosages in patients with early knee OA-a conventional 4 mL dose and a superdose of 8 mL. It was hypothesized that 8 mL of PRP would be superior to 4 mL of PRP in this patient population. Study Design Randomized clinical trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods Patients with early knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grades 1 and 2) who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group A (n = 50 knees) received a 4-mL PRP injection, and group B (n = 49 knees) received an 8-mL PRP injection, both prepared using the same procedure. Patients were evaluated at the baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), the WOMAC-Pain subscale, the visual analog scale for pain, the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and patient satisfaction, and results were compared between the groups. Results The baseline characteristics of the 2 groups were comparable (group A: mean age, 51.96 ± 6.93 years; group B: mean age, 49.12 ± 9.8 3 years). Leucocyte-depleted PRP with 3.5 times concentration (final product platelet concentration, 706.74 × 103-μL) was injected. The mean absolute platelet count injected was 2.82 ± 0.0012 billion in group A and 5.65 ± 0.0022 billion in group B. All patient-reported outcome scores improved significantly in both groups from the baseline to the final follow-up (P < .001), with overall trends and results significantly better in group B than in group A (P < .001). Patient satisfaction at the 6-month follow-up was also better in group B (96%) compared with group A (68%). Short (2 to 7 days) self-limiting complications, such as pain and stiffness, occurred more often in group B (P < .001). Conclusion Patients with early knee OA had significantly better improvement in pain and function when treated with an 8-mL injection of PRP compared with a 4-mL injection of PRP. The larger dose of PRP had approximately twice the number of platelets. Registration CTRI/2020/02/023403 (Clinical Trials Registry-India identifier).

JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2024; 16:S296-S298. [PMID: 38595432 PMCID: PMC11000861 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_499_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthrosis (OA) is a condition that develops slowly but eventually causes considerable morbidity. Many medical specialties have employed platelet-rich plasma (PRP) since it is the best autologous biological blood-derived product, can be exogenously supplied to tissues, and releases high concentrations of platelet-derived growth factors to promote tendon, bone, and wound healing. This prospective research aims to clinically assess the effectiveness of PRP injection therapy for treating knee osteoarthrosis. Materials and Methods A clinical prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care center for a period of a year. Subjects older than 50 years were selected for both genders who had a symptomatic primary knee OA. PRP is administered to and evaluated in 80 patients with knee osteoarthrosis. Using the VAS and WOMAC questionnaire tools, primary data was collected. The observations were compared using the appropriate statistical tools while considering significance at 95%. Results Eighty-four subjects participated in the study till the end of the study period of 3 months. All study participants filled out questionnaires before injection, eight weeks after injection, and 12 weeks after. The obtained scores for the WOMAC and the VAS were compared, and it was observed that after 12 weeks, the WOMAC scores lowered from 77 to 33 (P < 0.001) and the VAS scores lowered to 6 to 1.5 (P < 0.001) and these alterations were significant. Conclusion According to the most recent research, PRP therapy is a less expensive and more straightforward therapeutic option for the management of knee pain in patients who have OA, and it has also improved patients' ability to participate in everyday activities.

Three Doses of Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy Are More Effective Than One Dose of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Arthroscopy 2023; 39:2568-2576.e2. [PMID: 37236291 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of a single dose of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with multiple doses of PRP therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS The PubMed, Embase, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from database inception to May 2022; in addition, the gray literature and bibliographic references were searched. Only randomized controlled trials comparing the effect of a single dose versus multiple doses of PRP for KOA were included. Literature retrieval and data extraction were conducted by 3 independent reviewers. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were based on type of study, research subjects, intervention, outcome, language, and availability of data. Pooled analyses of visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index scores, and adverse events were conducted. RESULTS Seven studies (all randomized controlled trials) of high methodologic quality involving 575 patients were included. The ages of the patients included in this study ranged from 20 to 80 years, and the sex ratio was balanced. Triple-dose PRP therapy resulted in significantly better VAS scores compared with single-dose PRP therapy at 12 months (P < .0001), with no significant change in VAS scores between double-dose PRP and single-dose PRP at 12 months. Regarding adverse events, double-dose (P = .28) and triple-dose (P = .24) therapy showed no significant differences in safety from single-dose therapy. CONCLUSIONS Although there is a paucity of large high-quality Level I studies, current best evidence suggests that 3 doses of PRP for KOA are more effective than 1 dose of PRP at providing pain relief up to 1 year after administration. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, systematic review of Level II studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to explore whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can delay and reduce the incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and improve clinical symptoms in patients with inflammatory phenotype knee osteoarthritis (I-KOA). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study with a 5-year follow up. We selected patients with I-KOA based on typical magnetic resonance imaging findings. Patients were divided into two groups: I-KOA and KOA. Subsequently, the patients underwent treatment for five consecutive years, receiving three fortnightly injections per year, totalling 15 injections per patient. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade and minimum joint space width (MJSW) were used to evaluate KOA progression. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Knee Society score (KSS), and the minimal clinically important difference were used to evaluate the improvement of KOA symptoms. The incidence and timing of TKA were statistically analysed. RESULTS In total, 420 patients were included (I-KOA, n = 211; KOA, n = 209). No significant difference existed between both groups in the changes in the MJSW and KL grade at each time point. The I-KOA group exhibited significantly lower TKA incidence and delayed time to TKA. The WOMAC, KSS, and KSS function scores were significantly better in the I-KOA group than in the KOA group at each time point after treatment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of this retrospective study suggest that, compared with conventional KOA, intra-articular injection of PRP has better efficacy in patients with I-KOA but does not delay disease progression.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of physical activity on brain ageing are well recognised, with exerkines, factors that are secreted into the circulation in response to exercise, emerging as likely mediators of this response. However, the source and identity of these exerkines remain unclear. Here we provide evidence that an anti-geronic exerkine is secreted by platelets. We show that platelets are activated by exercise and are required for the exercise-induced increase in hippocampal precursor cell proliferation in aged mice. We also demonstrate that increasing the systemic levels of the platelet-derived exerkine CXCL4/platelet factor 4 (PF4) ameliorates age-related regenerative and cognitive impairments in a hippocampal neurogenesis-dependent manner. Together these findings highlight the role of platelets in mediating the rejuvenating effects of exercise during physiological brain ageing.

Cureus 2023; 15:e38513. [PMID: 37273322 PMCID: PMC10238762 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.38513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain and disability and has a negative impact on patients' quality of life. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising treatment for various orthopaedic conditions, such as tendinopathies, nonunion, and arthritis of the knee. We sought to determine whether a single intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection has better functional and pain outcomes when compared with multiple (two) articular platelet-rich plasma injections given in the early stages of OA of the knee, measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) at the sixth week, third month, and sixth month. Materials and methods The prospective observational study was conducted among patients diagnosed with early OA who presented to the Department of Orthopaedics, R. L. Jalappa Hospital and Research Centre, Kolar, Karnataka, India, between January 2020 and June 2021. A total of 64 patients were divided into: (i) S-PRP group (34 patients), which received a single PRP injection, and (ii) M-PRP group (30 patients), which received multiple (two) PRP injections, one on presentation and the second in the thirdmonth. VAS and WOMAC scores to assess functional outcomes were used at the first visit before the intervention and at the sixth week, third month, and sixth month. Results The average age of the patients was 55.26 years in the S-PRP group and 51.13 years in the M-PRP group. Both genders were equal among study participants in the M-PRP group, but 79.4% were females in the S-PRP group. In the S-PRP group, 74% had grade II OA and 26% had grade I OA. In the M-PRP group, 60% had grade II OA and the remaining 40% had grade I OA. The decreasing trend of pain and functional limitation, which was measured by VAS and WOMAC, respectively, was observed in both groups at pre-injection, sixth week, third month, and sixth month. These differences were statistically significant. The mean difference in VAS score between the pre-injection period and at six months was 4 in the S-PRP group, whereas it was 5.77 in the M-PRP group, and this was statistically significant (p-value = 0.001). Thus, multiple PRP injections have a greater response to pain reduction when compared to single PRP injections, according to the VAS score. According to the WOMAC score, there is no statistically significant difference in the treatment response with PRP injection between the S-PRP and M-PRP groups at any follow-up period. Conclusion According to the VAS score, single PRP injections have a lower pain score than multiple PRP injections until three months of follow-up, while at six months, single PRP injections have no better effect than multiple PRP injections. But multiple PRP injections have a higher reduction in the intensity of pain when compared to single PRP injections during the follow-up period. According to the WOMAC score, there is no statistically significant difference in the treatment response with PRP injection between S-PRP and M-PRP groups.

Xue Y, Wang X, Wang X, Huang L, Yao A, Xue Y. A comparative study of the efficacy of intra-articular injection of different drugs in the treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis: A network meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e33339. [PMID: 36961175 PMCID: PMC10036057 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000033339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has a high clinical prevalence and frequently interferes with patients normal lives. In KOA patients, evidence suggests that intra-articular (IA) injection improves joint function and decreases discomfort. Several IA injection treatments are used in daily practice to improve symptomatic control of knee osteoarthritis, but their efficacy is frequently disputed. METHODS This network meta-analysis compares the efficacy of different IA injections for mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Seven databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine disc, WanFang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched for randomized controlled trials published up to and including December 20, 2021, and final follow up indicators were used. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score change from baseline were the primary outcomes. We used the Cochrane risk of bias tool to assess the quality and risks of biases of papers. We calculated the weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each outcome. State (Version 15.1, Texas, USA) and SPSS (Version 20, Chicago, USA) was used in all statistical analyses, and Review Manager (version 5.4) was used in assessing the risks of biases. RESULTS Our study included 16 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1652 patients. platelet-rich plasma (PRP) IA injection therapy had the highest likelihood of being the best intervention in reducing WOMAC pain (surface under the cumulative ranking area [SUCRA] 84.7%), stiffness (SUCRA 95.1%), and function (SUCRA 98.5%) scores, according to the SUCRA. The best measures for lowering the WOMAC total and VAS scores were IA injection platelet-rich plasma-derived growth factor (SUCRA 84.9%) and hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma (SUCRA 84.9%). In the VAS score group, PRP outperformed hyaluronic acid (HA) (WMD 1.3, 95% CI 0.55-2.55) and corticosteroids (CS) (WMD 4.85, 95% CI 4.02-5.08), according to the forest map results. PRP also outperformed CS (WMD 14.76, 95% CI 12.11-17.41), ozone (WMD 9.16, 95% CI 6.89-11.43), and PRP + HA (WMD 2.18, 95% CI 0.55-3.81) in the WOMAC total score group. Furthermore, PRP outperforms other drugs in terms of reducing WOMAC function, stiffness, and function score. CONCLUSION In patients with mild to moderate KOA, IA injection PRP outperformed IA injection ozone, HA, CS, platelet-rich plasma-derived growth factor, and hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma in terms of pain, stiffness, and dysfunction.

Abstract
Background: To investigate the therapeutic effects of PRP injection + conservative treatment as the intervention group versus normal saline injection + conservative treatment as the control group. Objectives: This study we determined the effects of underlying factors, including age, gender, and Body Mass Index (BMI), on the therapeutic effects of PRP. Methods: In this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with grade 2 knee OA with an age of 40 - 65 years were enrolled. In the intervention group, leukocyte-poor PRP with double spinning, and in the control group, normal saline was injected with a similar protocol. All patients in both groups were also provided with a conservative protocol, including oral celecoxib 100 mg BID for four weeks, modifying physical activity, and 15 sessions of physiotherapy. Results: Demographic characteristics (age, gender, and BMI) and pre-treatment scores were similar between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The WOMAC score was improved from pre-treatment to first week post-treatment in both groups (from 54.89 ± 3.4 to 64.9 ± 3.7 in the intervention group and from 53.7 ± 3.1 to 63.8 ± 3.9 in the control group). It means that PRP + conservative treatment was effective, similar to normal saline + conservative treatment. After adjusting BMI as an underlying variable, it was indicated that in the patients with lower BMI, PRP + conservative provided a better outcome in comparison to saline + conservative treatment (P = 0.014 and P = 0.019, respectively). Also, the comparison of functional scores changes with age as an underlying variable, demonstrating that younger cases obtained a better response from PRP + conservative rather than normal saline + conservative (P = 0.012 and P = 0.007, respectively). Conclusions: PRP seems to be an appropriate choice for treatment of moderate osteoarthritis, especially in younger patients and those with lower BMI.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common problem in elderly patients. They are often troubled with altered knee function, such as pain and weakness. However, not all these patients are able to receive autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections as they may be taking antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications. Their physical condition may not allow them to receive total knee replacement surgery as well. Long-term oral intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be detrimental to the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, it is crucial to discover new treatment options that can alleviate painful knee symptoms in elderly knee OA patients. In this study, 19 elderly patients diagnosed with moderate degree of knee OA as well as suprapatellar bursitis were recruited. They received low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to their affected knees. Under ultrasound guidance, flexible fiber optic wire was inserted intra-articularly into the knee joint. Red laser followed by infrared irradiation was performed once every 2 weeks for a total of 3 times. The Lequesne index for knee OA and the volume of suprapatellar synovial fluid (SF) were measured. SF proteomic analyses were also performed up to a period of 6 months. The results revealed that after 3 LLLT, the Lequesne index significantly decreased, signifying improvement in the knee joint functional status. The volume of suprapatellar SF and SF proteins associated with inflammation also decreased significantly in the SF. These findings lasted up to a period of at least 3 months. Therefore, LLLT may be considered as a feasible option in treating elderly patients with knee OA who are not suitable for surgical interventions or intra-articular PRP injections.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:454. [PMID: 35568935 PMCID: PMC9106792 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05421-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the body. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are among the most troublesome disorders for patients, as they can cause pain, affect oral functions and disturb dentists on the level of diagnosis and treatment. The most common symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders are articulated sounds (such as clicking or TMJ crepitation), joint pain in comfort and function situations (jaw movements), pain or strain in masseter and jaw muscles and or restricted mandibular movements. One of the most modern biocompatible substances used to treat joint disorders, including the TMJ, is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) intra-articular injections in managing internal derangements of temporomandibular. Methods Twenty patients suffering from a unilateral click due to temporomandibular disorders were individually injected with 1 mL of (I-PRF) twice 1 week apart into the superior joint space of the TMJ with the internal disorder. Data were recorded and evaluated by the Helkimo index. This evaluation was conducted three times; 1 week after the first injection, 1 week after the second injection, and 6 months after the first injection. Results The clicking disappeared entirely in 14 out of 20 patients after 1 week of getting the first injection, and in all patients after 1 week of getting the second injection, and returned to two of them after a six-month since the first injection. Conclusion Preliminary results showed the efficacy of the Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (I-PRF) in managing articular clicking in patients with internal disorders of the temporomandibular joint. Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin has significant clinical efficacy in treating the articular clicking resulting from internal temporomandibular joint disorders.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived product processed to concentrate platelets and the associated growth factors. PRP has been shown to be relatively well-tolerated and safe to use for a number of conditions in humans, equines, and canines. There are multiple commercial systems that have been validated for canine use. These systems use a variety of methodologies to produce a PRP product. However, PRP products have been shown to differ greatly between systems. Further study is needed to fully elucidate optimal component concentrations for various indications.

Abstract
Platelets are an essential component of hemostasis, with an increasing role in host inflammatory processes in injured tissues. The reaction between receptors and vascular endothelial cells results in the recruitment of platelets in the immune response pathway. The aim of the present review is to describe the role of platelets in osteoarthritis. Platelets induce secretion of biological substances, many of which are key players in the inflammatory response in osteoarthritis. Molecules involved in cartilage degeneration, or being markers of inflammation in osteoarthritis, are cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukins (IL), type II collagen, aggrecan, and metalloproteinases. Surprisingly, platelets may also be used as a treatment modality for osteoarthritis. Multiple randomized controlled trials included in our systematic review and meta-analyses prove the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a minimally invasive method of pain alleviation in osteoarthritis treatment.

Abstract
Objectives : To explore the effectiveness of single injection of platelet-rich plasma with rehabilitation therapy for knee osteoarthritis combined with meniscus injury. Methods : Forty patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to a rehabilitation group
(REH group, 20 cases) receiving rehabilitation training, and a platelet-rich plasma group (PRP group, 20 cases) receiving an ultrasound-guided single injection of PRP in combination with rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation training in the two groups lasted for 2 weeks, and the patients
were evaluated using the short-form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ), Western Ontario McMaster Universities index (WOMAC score), and infrared thermography (knee-joint mean temperature) before treatment, at 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after treatment. Results : Two patients were lost
to follow-up in both the PRP group and the REH group. Significant reductions in pain scores, WOMAC scores and knee temperature were observed at 1 week and 1 month after treatment in both groups (p < 0.05). Significant lower SF-MPQ scores were observed in the PRP group than in the
REH group at 6 months followup (p < 0.01). Similarly, the mean knee temperature was significantly lower in the PRP group than in the REH group at 6 months follow-up (p < 0.01). No severe complications occurred in either group. Conclusions: Compared to rehabilitation
therapy alone, single injection of platelet-rich plasma in combination with rehabilitation therapy has beneficial effect on pain, knee function and mean knee temperature in patients with KOA combined with meniscus injury. Single injection of platelet-rich plasma combined with rehabilitation
therapy has a good short-term effectiveness.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the clinical outcomes of intra-articular Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in knee osteoarthritis (OA) at 2 year follow-up. METHODS This was a prospective interventional study. 68 cases (105 knees) with Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades I, II and III knee OA received 3 intra-articular injections of PRP 1 month apart. The cases were followed up for 2-years. Outcomes were measured using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score and Visual analog scale (VAS) scores. RESULTS The mean age was 51.7 years. 18 knees had KL grade I, 55 had grade II and 32 had grade III OA. The mean pre-treatment VAS score decreased significantly at 1 year (mean difference - 5.3, p = 0.003) and 2 year follow-up (mean difference - 6, p = 0.007). The mean pre-treatment WOMAC score decreased significantly at 1 year (mean difference - 45.9, p = 0.011) and at 2 year (mean difference - 52.4, p = 0.009). The WOMAC and VAS scores improved significantly from baseline to final follow-up across all KL grades (p = 0.001 and 0.001, 0.009 and 0.007, 0.021 and 0.017 for WOMAC and VAS across KL grade I, II and III, respectively). There was no significant differences in WOMAC and VAS scores between three KL grades at final follow-up (p = 0.17 and 0.09, respectively), although the baseline scores had significant difference (p = 0.001 for both VAS and WOMAC) with worse scores in higher KL grades. The variables like age, sex, BMI, KL grade, baseline VAS and baseline WOMAC did not predict the final VAS and WOMAC scores. CONCLUSION Triple injection of intra-articular PRP given one month apart significantly relieves the symptoms of knee OA till 2 years in KL grade I, II and III. The improvement in symptoms at 2-year follow-up did not differ across different KL grades.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the present study, we aimed to determine whether intraperitoneal injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) could have a neuroprotective effect on learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity impairment as well as hippocampal apoptosis in rats with hepatic encephalopathy induced by bile duct ligated (BDL). METHODS The rats were divided into four groups: the control, sham, BDL+ V (vehicle), and BDL+ PRP. The BDL rats were treated with PRP immediately after the surgery, and the injection was done every 3 days for 30 days. The passive avoidance and Morris water maze tests were used for the evaluation of learning and memory. The long-term potentiation (LTP), basal-synaptic transmission, and paired-pulse ratio, as an index for measurement of neurotransmitter release probability, were evaluated by field-potential recording. After taking a blood sample for assessment of the liver enzymes, the animals were sacrificed and their hippocampus was removed for evaluation of cleaved caspase-3 by Western blot. RESULTS Serological assessment of the liver function showed that BDL severely impaired the liver function. Also, PRP treatment could partially improve the liver dysfunction along with recovery in fear memory and spatial learning memory performance, LTP, basal-synaptic transmission, and neurotransmitter release probability. PRP-treated rats also showed a significant reduction in neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 area. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that PRP improves cognitive performance and synaptic plasticity in BDL rats via direct neuroprotective property and/or indirectly by improvement of hepatic dysfunction.

Abstract
Objectives
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of single, double, and triple doses of intra-articular (IA) platelet rich plasma (PRP) in early stages of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Patients and methods
This single-blind, randomized, superiority trial included a total of 180 knees of 90 patients (22 males, 68 females; mean age: 47.9 years; range, 36 to 60 years) with bilateral OA knee of Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 1-2 between May 2017 and December 2018. The patients were randomized (30 in each group) to receive single, double, or triple doses of IA PRP (two weeks apart in repeat injections). The outcome measures were Visual Analog Scale, International Knee Documentation Committee Score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and Tegner Lysholm Knee Score. The assessor of outcome was blinded. The scores were collected before intervention and at six weeks, three months, six months, and one year after the intervention. Results
All patients completed the study. All three groups were comparable with respect to demographic and disease characteristics. All four scores were comparable among the three groups before intervention and at six weeks, three months, and six months. However, at one-year follow-up, the three-dose group showed superiority to others in terms of all four scores. All three groups showed improvement until six months and deterioration thereafter, which was only marginal in the three-dose group. All groups showed a statistically significant improvement of scores compared to baseline scores at one year. There were no major complications. Conclusion
The IA administration of three doses of PRP yields superior outcome to single and double doses at the end of one year. Repeat doses are probably needed to sustain the benefit achieved at one year.

Abstract
Objective
The present study aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of hyaluronic acid (HA) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications to treat young patients with knee chondral lesions with no arthrosis.
Methods
Prospective clinical and functional evaluation of 30 young adult patients with knee chondral lesions submitted to conservative treatment with HA or PRP for a minimum follow-up time of 12 months. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and visual analog scale (VAS) were used for the evaluation.
Results
According to the WOMAC score, the PRP group showed significant improvement in all evaluated points, whereas the HA group presented no score improvement. In the VAS, the PRP group showed improvement in all evaluated points, and the HA group presented improvement at 6 and 12 months. Compared to the HA group, the PRP group presented better WOMAC scores at all evaluated points and better VAS scores up to 6 months after treatment.
Conclusion
Platelet-rich plasma application resulted in better clinical and functional outcomes at both the WOMAC and VAS scores when applied to knees from young patients with chondral lesions, but no arthrosis. These outcomes were sustained for up to 12 months.
Level of evidence

Photobiomodulation (λ=808nm) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for the Treatment of Acute Rheumatoid Arthritis in Wistar Rats. J Lasers Med Sci 2021; 12:e60. [PMID: 35155145 PMCID: PMC8837836 DOI: 10.34172/jlms.2021.60] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes inflammation, pain, edema, and articular degradation and its treatment can be based on anti-inflammatory drugs, photobiomodulation (PBM) and/or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that can decrease cell flow and promote local healing. In the present study, we evaluate the effects of PBM and PRP on acute arthritis in Wistar rats through inflammatory and oxidative stress parameters. Methods: Thirty female Wistar rats were assigned to five groups (n=6, each group): Control, Sham, PRP, Laser, and PRP+Laser. For arthritis induction, all animals of groups Sham, PRP, Laser and PRP+Laser received an intraarticular injection of Zymosan® (200µg) in the right knee. Twenty-four hours post-arthritis induction, PRP was prepared and injected (8 × 105 of platelets) in animals of PRP and PRP+Laser groups. PBM was performed in Laser and PRP+Laser groups by single-dose therapy with the GaAlAs laser (λ=808 nm, P=25 mW, fluence=30 J/cm2, beam area=0.02 mm2, t=33 seconds, E=0.825 J, punctual application). After seven days of induction, serum samples were collected and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), nitric oxide (NO) and catalase activity were analysed. Morphological parameters were measured for inflammation areas, cartilage thickness, and C3 protein expression in knee samples. Statistical analysis was performed with an ANOVA test and Tukey's post-hoc test with a significance level of 5% (P<0.05). Results: NO was lower in the treated groups compared to the Sham group, and TBARS did not show any differences, while catalase showed greater activity between PRP+Laser versus PRP (P<0.05). Inflammatory areas and cartilage thickness were lower in the treated groups compared to Sham (P<0.05), while no differences in C3 protein expression was observed. Conclusion: PBM associated with PRP is better for anti-inflammatory and joint preservation by morphological aspects and NO levels that concern a potential clinical application.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to compare the efficacy of different numbered sets of injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of mild-moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A comprehensive search in three databases of Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed was conducted to find relevant articles that investigated the efficacy of PRP injection therapies in the treatment of mild-moderate knee OA through August 2020. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain and function scores were the primary outcomes and visual analogue scale (VAS) was the secondary outcome. The pooled improvements amongst different injection therapies were compared. RESULTS No significant differences in the improvement of WOMAC pain were observed amongst 1-, 2-, and 3-injection therapies at 3- (P = .26) and 6-month (P = .13) follow-ups. For a 12-month follow-up, the difference amongst different therapies reached borderline significance (P = .05) in which 3-injection therapy had a significantly better improvement than 2-injection therapy (P = .02) and reached borderline significance compared with 1-injection (P = .07). However, no significant differences in the improvement of VAS scores were observed amongst three injection therapies for all the follow-up visits (P > .05). For WOMAC function score, 3-injection therapy performed significantly better than 1-injection (P < .00001) or 2-injection therapy (P < .0001) only at 12-month follow-up visit. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that 3-injection therapy of PRP in the treatment of mild-moderate knee OA had the best efficacy in pain relief and function improvement compared with 1- and 2-injection therapies.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common disease in aged adults. Intra-articular (IA) injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an effective minimally invasive treatment for KOA. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with placebo or other conservative treatments. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis to identify relevant articles from online register databases such as PubMed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. The primary outcomes were the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score. The secondary outcome was the adverse event rate. Results A total of 895 articles were identified, of which 23 randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria were determined as eligible. Compared with placebo, PRP had a lower VAS score and higher IKDC subjective score at the 6th month after treatment and significantly less WOMAC score during the follow-up period. Compared with oral NSAIDs, PRP gained a lower WOMAC score at the 6th month after treatment. The VAS score decreased after treatment when reaching PRP and CS. As compared to the HA, the VAS score, WOMAC score, and IKDC subjective score all revealed better PRP results. There were no significant differences in adverse event rates comparing PRP versus placebo or HA. Different PRP applications did not show significant differences in VAS score in the 1st month and WOMAC score in the 3rd month after treatment. Conclusion To compare with the conservative treatments mentioned above, PRP is more effective in relieving symptoms. There were no significant differences between triple PRP application and single PRP application in short-term curative effect.

Abstract
This prospective, comparative, randomized, horizontal, and double-blind clinical study investigated the clinical efficacy of leucocyte-poor platelet-rich
plasma (PRP, n=8) or allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC, n=8) in dogs with bilateral degenerative hip joint disease (DHJD). Sixteen dogs were treated
with two intra-articular injections of PRP or ADSCs, within a 30-day interval. The Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI), the Helsinki Chronic Pain Index (HCPI),
and Visual Analogue Scales for pain (VAS-pain) and locomotion (VAS-loc) were assessed by the dog owners. Analysis-of-gait using a force plate, response to
palpation (VAS-palp), and the descriptive numerical scale for pain (DNS) were measured by a veterinarian. The assessments were performed before (baseline), 30
and 60 days after the first treatment. Data were analyzed using the unpaired t test, paired Wilcoxon test, Fisher’s exact test, and
Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests (P<0.05). Compared with baseline HCPI, CBPI, VAS-pain, and VAS-palp scores reduced 41%, 52%, 51%, and 48%
(P=0.0001–0.03) at 60 days in the ADSC group. In PRP-treated dogs, CBPI, VAS-loc, and DNS scores decreased by 43%, 43%, and 33% at 60 days,
respectively (P=0.0003–0.011). Based on CBPI data, the rate of success at 60 days was 75% and 25% in the ADSC and PRP groups
(P=0.13), respectively. Both therapies were apparently safe and effective to reduce chronic pain in dogs with bilateral DHJD during a 60-day
period. However, a trend towards greater improvement was provided by the ADSC treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common degenerative disease of the joints caused by articular cartilage injury, degeneration of joint edges and hyperplasia of subchondral bone. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of clinical therapy of platelet-rich plasma vs hyaluronic acid injections in patients with KOA. METHODS: We systematically investigated Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for all related articles published through May 2020. Any study was included that compared the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in patients with KOA. The search terms included “platelet-rich plasma,” “PRP,” “hyaluronic acid,” “HA,” “knee,” “osteoarthritis,” “arthritis,” “KOA”. Review Manager 5.3 was used to analyze and calculate data regarding these outcome indicators. RESULTS: In this study, 1. Six randomized double-blind controlled trials were included, including 338 patients in the PRP group and 323 patients in the HA group. 2. Meta-analysis results showed that the Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Total Score was differed significantly between the PRP and HA groups at the 1, 6, 12 months follow-up (MD = 3.39, 95% CI: 2.85–3.92, P < .05). In a comparison of Physical function scores at the 12 months follow-up, PRP improved knee function scores more than HA (MD = 3.28; 95% CI: 2.13–4.43; P < .05). However, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Tegner Activity scores, EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS), and Adverse Events (AEs) were all not significantly different (P > .05). 3. Results showed that compared with HA, PRP had significant advantages in relevant improving knee function and quality of life. CONCLUSION: In improving knee function and quality of life, PRP showed superiority over HA in long-term follow-up from well-designed double-blind trials, but a large number of high-quality multi-center studies are still needed to provide more sufficient evidence.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease commonly affecting the knee joints. It affects patients socially, psychologically and economically and rates of the disease have been increasing due to obesity and old age. Regardless of choosing a medically conservative approach, it is a challenge in the long term to provide OA patients efficient treatment with minimal side effects and long-term efficiency. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a convenient, low-cost and affordable treatment technique used in treating knee OA with encouraging efficient and safe outcomes. In this study we will investigate the effect of PRP on knee OA. Methods This is a prospective cohort study involving 252 patients with different OA grades. The Kellgren and Lawrence (K&L) system was used in classifying the affected knee by degenerative cartilage lesions as well as early and severe OA. All patients with a diagnosis of knee OA were screened in every visit before the injection, the pain was assessed by the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and knee range of motion including flexion and extension was assessed by goniometer. Follow-up appointments were done on three-month intervals for a total of three visits for evaluation. Injection of PRP was given to all the patients with a maximum of four injections. The results were evaluated statistically according to the total number of follow-up visits. Results In grade II patients, the pain improved with the visits and the maximum improvement in flexion degree was noticed in patients who came for a total of three follow-up visits. In grade III patients, the most improvement in pain was in patients who came for three follow-up visits, while the most improvement in flexion degree was in patients who came for a total of two follow-up visits. Patients with grade IV who came for three follow-up visits showed the most improvement in pain and degree of flexion. Conclusions Intra-articular injections gave significant pain and flexion improvement in grades II, III and IV in OA patients, especially with multiple injection in the short-term follow-up. As a result, recommendation of repeated multiple injections up to four times is efficient in providing long time relief in knee OA.

Abstract
The glenohumeral (GH) joint ranks third on the list of the large joints that are most commonly affected by osteoarthritis, after the knee and the hip.
General nonsurgical modalities, including changes in daily activities, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, and corticosteroid injections, constitute the mainstay of treatment. Most of these options, however, have shown moderate and short-term effectiveness. Arthroplasty techniques have proven to be successful for elderly patients. Nevertheless, replacement options are not optimal for younger patients because their functional demands are higher and prostheses have a finite life span. This has led to the search for new nonoperative treatment options to target this subgroup of patients. It has been suggested that orthobiologic therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cell therapies, present great promise and opportunity for the treatment of GH osteoarthritis. Despite the promising results that have been shown by cell therapies and PRP for treating degenerative joint conditions, additional studies are needed to provide more definitive conclusions.

Abstract
Despite encouraging results reported with regards to Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) application in osteoarthritis (OA) knee, still critical issues like conclusive structural evidence of its efficacy, standard dose and good manual method of preparation to obtain high yield remains unanswered. Present study is an attempt to optimise the dose and concentration of therapeutic PRP and its correlation with structural, physiologic efficacy with a new manual method of PRP preparation. A total of one hundred and fifty patients were randomized to receive either PRP (10 billion platelets) or hyaluronic acid (HA; 4 ml; 75 patients in each group) and followed up till 1 year. An addition of filtration step with 1 µm filter in manual PRP processing improved platelet recovery upto 90%. Significant improvements in WOMAC (51.94 ± 7.35 vs. 57.33 ± 8.92; P < 0.001), IKDC scores (62.8 ± 6.24 vs 52.7 ± 6.39; P < 0.001), 6-min pain free walking distance (+ 120 vs. + 4; P < 0.001) persisted in PRP compared to HA group at 1 year. Significant decline IL-6 and TNF-α levels observed in PRP group (P < 0.05) compared to HA at 1 month. Study demonstrated that an absolute count of 10 billion platelets is crucial in a PRP formulation to have long sustained chondroprotective effect upto one year in moderate knee OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two published meta-analyses have investigated the effects of the number of injections of platelet rich plasma (PRP) on clinical outcomes in knee osteoarthritis patients, however conflicting findings were generated. METHODS We will systematically search PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledgement Infrastructure (CNKI) to capture additional eligible studies. After screening citations, extracting essential data, assessing the risk of bias, we will use RevMan software and Open BUGS to perform head-to-head and network meta-analysis of pain alleviation and improvement of joint functionality, respectively. DISCUSSION Knee joint osteoarthritis (KOA) is the main cause of joint degeneration in elderly, which seriously reduces patients quality of life. Although intra-articular PRP has been extensively prescribed to treat KOA, a definitive conclusion about the appropriate number of injections has not yet been generated in published meta-analyses. The present updated network meta-analysis will comprehensively answer this question. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION We will communicate our findings through participating in academic conferences or submiting it to be considered for publication in peer reviewed scholar journal. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER We registered this protocol in International Plateform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) platform and obtained an identifier of INPLASY2020110043 (https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2020-11-0043/).

Abstract
Various systematic reviews have recently shown that intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (IA-PRP) can lead to symptomatic relief of knee osteoarthritis for up to 12 months. There exist limited data on its use in small joints, such as the trapeziometacarpal joint (TMJ) or carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) of the thumb. A prospective, randomized, blind, controlled, clinical trial of 33 patients with clinical and radiographic osteoarthritis of the TMJ (grades: I-III according to the Eaton and Littler classification) was conducted. Group A patients (16 patients) received 2 ultrasound-guided IA-PRP injections, while group B patients (17 patients) received 2 ultrasound-guided intra-articular methylprednisolone and lidocaine injections at a 2-week interval. Patients were evaluated prior to and at 3 and 12 months after the second injection using the visual analogue scale (VAS) 100/100, shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (Q-DASH), and patient's subjective satisfaction. No significant differences between the baseline clinical and demographic characteristics of the 2 groups were identified. After 12 months' follow-up, the IA-PRP treatment has yielded significantly better results in comparison with the corticosteroids, in terms of VAS score (P = 0.015), Q-DASH score (P = 0.025), and patients' satisfaction (P = 0.002). Corticosteroids offer short-term relief of symptoms, but IA-PRP might achieve a lasting effect of up to 12 months in the treatment of early to moderate symptomatic TMJ arthritis.

[PMID: 32679294 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2020.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Revised: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in patients with adult knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to explore the most effective and safe protocol by using a meta-analysis method. METHODS This study was based on Cochrane methodology for conducting a meta-analysis. Only randomized controlled trials with an experimental group that used PRP and a control group that received HA were eligible for this study. The participants were adults who had KOA. The outcome measures were the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the visual analog scale (VAS), the EuroQol VAS, the International Knee Documentation Committee, the Tegner score, the Lequesne Scale, the Knee injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, satisfaction rate, and adverse events. Subgroup analyses was performed for patients with different doses, types, and times of PRP interventions and grades of OA. The Review Manager Database was used to analyze the included studies. RESULTS Twenty-six randomized controlled trials involving 2430 patients were included. The WOMAC total scores, WOMAC physical function scores, and VAS scores of the PRP group were better than the those of the HA group at 3, 6, and 12 months. The PRP group had better WOMAC pain, WOMAC stiffness, EuroQol VAS, and International Knee Documentation Committee scores than the HA group at 6 and 12 months. There was no significant difference in adverse events between the 2 groups (relative risk 1.21, 95% confidence interval 0.95-1.54; P = .13). CONCLUSIONS For the nonsurgical treatment of KOA, compared with HA, intra-articular injection of PRP could significantly reduce patients' early pain and improve function. There was no significant difference in adverse events between the 2 groups. PRP was more effective than HA in the treatment of KOA, and the safety of these 2 treatment options was comparable. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, meta-analysis of Level I RCTs.

Intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a consensus statement from French-speaking experts. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2021; 29:3195-3210. [PMID: 32583023 PMCID: PMC8458198 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-020-06102-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 80] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE There has been much debate regarding the use of intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as symptomatic treatment for knee osteoarthritis. The objective of this consensus was to develop guidelines for PRP injections in knee osteoarthritis according to the French National Authority for Health recommendations. METHODS Fifteen physicians from different French-speaking countries (10 rheumatologists, 4 specialists in rehabilitation and sports medicine and 1 radiologist) were selected for their expertise in the areas of PRP and osteoarthritis. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on Medline including all published therapeutic trials, open studies, meta-analysis and systematic reviews focusing on the effects of PRP in knee OA, as well as fundamental studies concerning the characteristics of the various types of PRP and their mechanisms, indexed before April 2019. Using the method recommended by the French National Authority for Health inspired by the Delphi consensus process, 25 recommendations were finally retained and evaluated. The recommendations were classified as appropriate or not appropriate, with strong or relative agreement, or uncertain if a consensus was not achieved. RESULTS Among the 25 recommendations selected, the main ones are the following: (1) Intra-articular injections of PRP are an effective symptomatic treatment for early to moderate knee osteoarthritis. This recommendation was considered appropriate with a relative agreement (Median = 8; rank = 6-9). Level of evidence 1A. (2) A PRP treatment sequence in knee osteoarthritis may include 1-3 injections. This recommendation was considered appropriate with a strong agreement (Median = 9; rank = 7-9). Level of evidence 1A. (3) Leucocytes-poor PRP should be preferred in knee osteoarthritis. This recommendation was considered appropriate with a relative agreement (Median = 8; rank = 5-9). Level of evidence 5. (4) Intra-articular PRP knee injections should be performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. This recommendation was considered uncertain with no consensus (Median = 8; rank = 3-9). Level of evidence 5. (5) PRP should not be mixed with an anesthetic or intra-articular corticosteroid. This recommendation was considered appropriate with a relative agreement (Median = 9; rank = 6-9). Level of evidence 5 CONCLUSION: Those 25 recommendations should standardize and facilitate the use of IA PRP injections, which are considered by experts as an effective treatment especially in early or moderate knee OA. Although a strong or relative agreement from the experts was obtained for most of the recommendations, many of them had a very low level of evidence (Level 5) and were principally based on the clinical experience of the experts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain and functional outcomes in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. We compared the effects of PRP against saline solution by designing a double blind, randomized, prospective study. DESIGN Forty-four patients with hemiplegia were included in this study. All patients received a total of 3 injections, 1 week apart. The first group received PRP injections while the second group received placebo injections. After 3 months of follow-up, 40 patients completed the trial. Primary outcome measure was movement-induced pain score (VAS), and secondary outcome measures were spontaneous pain score, shoulder passive range of motion (ROM), functional independence measure score, and the amount of paracetamol used. All subjects were evaluated at baseline, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the completion of the last injection. RESULTS Both groups showed an improvement in spontaneous and movement-related pain scores and shoulder passive ROM values on 1st and 3rd month visits (p < 0.05). No significance difference was detected between groups (p > 0.05). Similarly, FIM scores improved significantly in both groups (p < 0.05) but no difference was found between groups. Paracetamol use did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSION The PRP injections were found not to be superior to placebo. Improvements in both groups can be attributed to the use of rehabilitation techniques and exercises in all patients. There is still need for further research to show whether PRP is a treatment option in the course of hemiplegic shoulder pain. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03931824.

Abstract
Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is viewed as a type of infertility in which the menopausal status occurs before the physiological age. Several therapeutic strategies have been introduced in clinic for POI treatment, although the outputs are not fully convincing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a unique blood product widely applied in regenerative medicine, which is based on the releasing of the growth factors present in platelets α-granules. In the current investigation, we examined the effectiveness of PRP as a therapeutic alternative for POI animals. POI in Wistar albino rats was induced by daily intraperitoneal (IP) administration of gonadotoxic chemical agent, 4-vinylcyclohexene dioxide (VCD) (160 mg/ kg) for 15 consecutive days. After POI induction, the PRP solution was directly injected intra-ovarian in two concentrations via a surgical intervention. Every two weeks post-injection, pathological changes were monitored in the ovaries using Hematoxylin-Eosin staining method, until eight weeks. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) content in serum was measured, together with the expression of the angiogenic-related transcripts ANGPT2 and KDR by real-time qPCR. Furthermore the fertility status of the treated rats was evaluated by mating trials. Histopathological examination revealed successful POI induction via the depletion of morphologically normal follicles in rats following VCD treatment compared to the control rats. The injection of PRP at two concentrations reduced the number and extent of the follicular atresia and inflammatory responses (p < 0.05). The expression of both ANGPT2 and KDR transcripts were significantly increased in POI rats due to enhanced inflammation, while these values were modulated after PRP administration (p < 0.05) compared to POI rats. FSH showed a decreased trend in concentration eight weeks after PRP treatment, but not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, a clear improvement in litter counts was found in POI rats receiving PRP compared to the non-treated POI group, being able to consider PRP as a facile, quick, accessible, safe and relatively cheap alternative therapeutic strategy to revert POI-related pathologies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Addressing the subchondral bone through intraosseous infiltrations of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may improve the effectiveness of this technique for severe hip osteoarthritis (HOA). METHODS Forty patients with HOA degree 2 and 3 according to the Tönnis scale were recruited for this study. They were susceptible to a total hip arthroplasty, without response to previous treatment based on intraarticular infiltrations of PRP. Patients received a combination of intraosseous injections into the acetabulum and the femoral head, as well as intraarticular PRP infiltrations. The clinical outcome was evaluated at 2, 6 and 12 months using the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index. RESULTS At 2, 6 and 12 months, patients had significant pain improvement according to HOOS pain, WOMAC pain, and VAS scores. After the treatment, the percentage of patients with minimal clinically important improvement was 40% (16 over 40 patients) at 2 months, 37.5% (15 over 40) at 6 months, and 40% (16 over 40) at 12 months. Conclusion: The combination of intra-articular and intra-osseous infiltrations of PRP showed a pain reduction and improvement in hip joint functionality up to 12 months in patients with severe HOA, with no severe adverse effects.

Abstract
In recent years, the interest in biological treatment of knee lesions has increased, especially the application of platelet-rich plasma is of particular note. The number of articles evaluating platelet-rich plasma (PRP) efficacy in the recovery of knee disorders and during knee surgery has exponentially increased over the last decade. A systematic review with meta-analyses was performed by assessing selected studies of local PRP injections to the knee joint. The study was completed in accordance with 2009 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. A multistep search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Clinicaltrials.gov was performed to identify studies on knee surgery and knee lesion treatment with PRP. Of the 4004 articles initially identified, 357 articles focusing on knee lesions were selected and, consequently, only 83 clinical trials were analyzed using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool to evaluate risk. In total, seven areas of meta-analysis reported a positive effect of PRP. Among them, 10 sub-analyses demonstrated significant differences in favor of PRP when compared to the control groups (p < 0.05). This study showed the positive effects of PRP, both on the recovery of knee disorders and during knee surgery; however further prospective and randomized studies with a higher number of subjects and with lower biases are needed.

Abstract
It is now apparent that platelet function is more diverse than originally thought, shifting the view of platelets from blood cells involved in hemostasis and wound healing to major contributors to numerous regulatory processes across different tissues. Given their intriguing ability to store, produce and release distinct subsets of bioactive molecules, including intercellular signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, platelets may play an important role in orchestrating healthy brain function. Conversely, a number of neurodegenerative conditions have recently been associated with platelet dysfunction, further highlighting the tissue-independent role of these cells. In this review we summarize the requirements for platelet-neural cell communication with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases, and discuss the therapeutic potential of healthy platelets and the proteins which they release to counteract these conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many advantages to using cord blood (CB) as a source of therapeutic platelet and plasma derivatives for regenerative medicine. These include availability, universal use, young donor source, and virally safe biological material, rich in tissue regenerative factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We aimed to validate a bioprocess design for the production of cord blood-derived platelet concentrates (CBPC) in a public Cord Blood Bank (CBB). CBPC was defined as a product of 10±5 mL, 1,000±200×109/L total platelets, free of erythrocytes and leukocytes. A total of 300 CB units were centrifuged in two steps to enrich for platelets, in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice. The samples were tested for the degree of platelet activation present, and the levels of growth factor were analysed to evaluate their potential function. CBPC were then activated after thawing with 10% calcium gluconate to generate platelet gels (CBPG) to treat patients with diabetic foot ulcers. RESULTS After processing, 84% of the products fulfilled the acceptance criteria. Final products contained 1,017±149×106 platelets/mL in 10±3mL of plasma. Platelet recovery was 50±9%. The methods described here ensure depletion of white and red blood cells down to a residual concentration of 0.2±0.1×106/mL and 0.03±0.02×106/mL, respectively. Platelets showed low levels of activation during processing, but were significantly activated after thawing, as indicated by an increase in CD62p expression. The growth factors EGF, VEGF, bFGF, PDGF AB/BB and TGF-β1 were at concentrations of 1,706±123 pg/mL; 1,602±227 pg/mL; 314±26 pg/mL; 30±1.5 ng/mL; 24±2 ng/mL (mean±standard error of mean), respectively. For clinical evaluation, a total of 21 CBPG were applied in 3 patients, with no reported adverse events and improvement of ulcers in all of them. DISCUSSION We designed and validated a highly reproducible, closed system method to manufacture high quality CBPC suitable for clinical applications using CB units not suitable for transplantation in a public CBB.

Abstract
Background Reports have concluded that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an effective and safe biological approach in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, no consensus has been established regarding the number of injections required to observe a therapeutic effect. Purpose To compare the clinical effectiveness reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of single versus multiple PRP injections in the treatment of knee OA. Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 1. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted for RCTs published between 1970 and 2019 that compared the effect of single versus multiple PRP injections on pain and functionality in patients with knee OA. Searched databases included MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. A data extraction form was designed to obtain bibliographic information of the study as well as patient, intervention, comparison, and outcomes of interest data. A random-effects model was used to pool quantitative data from the primary outcomes. Results We included 5 clinical trials with a low-moderate risk of bias that reported data for 301 patients. Meta-analysis showed that, at 6 months after the intervention, single and multiple (double or triple) injections had similar pain improvement, with no significant differences (standardized mean difference [SMD], 0.61 [95% CI, -1.09 to 2.31]; I 2 = 97%; P = .48). A significant improvement in knee functionality was observed in favor of multiple injections (SMD, 2.29 [95% CI, 0.45-4.12]; I 2 = 97%; P = .01). Subanalysis showed that the significant improvement was only evident for the results of single versus triple injections (SMD, 3.12 [95% CI, 0.64-5.60]; I 2 = 97%; P = .01). Conclusion According to our results, a single injection was as effective as multiple PRP injections in pain improvement; however, multiple injections seemed more effective in joint functionality than a single injection at 6 months. We consider that the available evidence is still insufficient, and future research on this specific topic is needed to confirm our results.

[Effectiveness of platelet rich plasma in pain management of osteoarthritis knee: double blind, randomized comparative study]. Rev Bras Anestesiol 2019; 69:439-447. [PMID: 31672420 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjan.2019.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2019] [Revised: 04/27/2019] [Accepted: 06/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma to treat symptoms of knee osteoarthritis have been successfully used in young patients. However in most of these studies the control and test knees were present in different patients thus incorporating a large amount of bias in the results. Therefore, the present study was designed in which patients with bilateral osteoarthritis knee were included and platelet-rich plasma was administered in one knee and normal saline in another knee of same patient. METHODS 20 patients aged 30-65 years with bilateral osteoarthritis knees (ASA class I and II) of either gender were included in the study. Patients were randomized to receive platelet-rich plasma and normal saline in one of the two knees. The primary outcome was VAS and WOMAC score at 6months after procedure. The secondary outcome included changes in joint stiffness, physical function, any adverse effects noted during the course of study. RESULTS The baseline VAS score in platelet-rich plasma knee was 8.4 ± 0.88 which improved significantly to 4.85 ± 2.48 (p < 0.001) at 6months as compared to normal saline knee (p = 0.017). The WOMAC pain score also improved from baseline (14.5 ± 1.3) to over 6month 7.00 ± 4.24 (p < 0.001) in platelet-rich plasma knee while in the normal saline knee, no significant change occurred from baseline to six months (10.2 ± 1.2 to 10.05 ± 1.23). There was also significant decrease in stiffness and improvement of physical activity in the platelet-rich plasma knee as compared to normal saline knee. CONCLUSION The present study showed significant decrease in pain and stiffness and improvement of physical functions of knee joint with intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection as compared to normal saline.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common degenerative conditions affecting knee joint. As our understanding in the disease pathogenesis is evolving, so do the treatment modalities. One of the postulated mechanisms suggests the production of inflammatory cytokines secondary to repeated micro trauma than in turn lead to cartilage damage overtime. Cartilage being avascular structure has limited potential for repair. Based on this, recent studies have been focusing on stimulating cartilage-healing process by growth factors. This is where platelet-rich plasma comes in to light. Literature is showing promising results of platelet-rich plasma in treating knee osteoarthritis. In this review we have discussed the preparation, composition, classification, uses of platelet-rich plasma as well as evidence for its efficacy and complications.

Abstract
It is becoming increasingly clear that interactions between the peripheral immune system and the central nervous system are important in maintaining healthy brain function. Platelets are small blood cells traditionally known for their role in wound healing. However, platelets have recently been shown to exhibit many alternative functions. In this perspective, we summarize the repertoire of platelet functions, focusing on how these cells contribute to the maintenance of brain homeostasis and propose the mechanisms via which they could communicate with brain cells, including exosome and microparticle release and receptor interactions at local sites. In particular, we highlight the potential role that platelets play in maintaining brain plasticity via the modulation of new neuron generation from neural precursor cells, an interaction which could have important implications in the development of therapeutic interventions to promote cognitive function in aging and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular injection of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an effective method for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to assess the effects of PRP injection on OA, based on gene expression analysis. METHODS A sample of 30 subjects with knee OA was asked to complete the Persian versions of the Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain (ICOAP) and Knee and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Thereafter, the expression of IGF-1, HIF-1, cartilage oligometric matrix protein (COMP), and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP2) were compared in the patient before and 1 month after PRP injection using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS According to the results of the study, the expression of IGF-1, HIF-1, COMP and BMP2 were reported to be higher in subjects with PRP injection; however, only the up-regulation of IGF-1 was statistically significant (P<007). Moreover, the significant change in the KOOS and ICOAP scores was attributed to PRP injection (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Intra-articular injections of PRP were reported to ease the pain, decrease the stiffness, and improve quality of life in patients with knee OA through the promotion of IGF-1 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as the forerunner among disease-modifying treatment options for early osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. However, no consensus is available regarding optimum dosing schedules. PURPOSE To determine whether multiple injections of PRP (3 injections) provide better short-term and long-term results than a single injection of PRP in a guinea pig model of knee OA. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS 36 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs (weighing ~600-800 g) were chosen for this study. The animals were assigned to group DC (disease control group), group G1 (single-PRP group), and group G2 (multiple-PRP group) containing 10, 10, and 12 animals, respectively. Another 4 animals were used for preparation of allogenic PRP. Groups G1 and G2 received 1 and 3 injections of PRP, respectively, at weekly intervals in the intervention knee while the contralateral knee was injected with normal saline. Group DC received no intervention in either knee. Half of the animals from each group (subgroups DC.3, G1.3, and G2.3) were sacrificed at 3 months, and the remaining half (subgroups DC.6, G1.6, and G2.6) were sacrificed at 6 months after intervention. Both knee joints were harvested for histological assessment of articular cartilage and synovium. RESULTS The mean synovial scores for groups G1 and G2 were significantly better than those for group DC at 3 months. No difference was found between groups G1 and G2 at 3 months. At 6 months, group G2 had significantly better mean synovial scores than group G1 and group DC. The mean articular cartilage scores in group G2 were significantly better than those in group DC at 3 months. However, at 6 months, no significant difference was found among any of the groups in terms of mean articular scores. CONCLUSION Both single and multiple injections of PRP exert similar anti-inflammatory effects on the synovium in the short term. However, this effect is sustained in the long term only for multiple injections. Multiple injections of PRP exert a chondroprotective effect, but only in the short term. This effect is not seen with a single injection of PRP. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study provides insight into the histological basis for the superiority of multiple injections of PRP.
