Abstract
To explore the effect of leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) on promoting wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers. A total of 42 patients with diabetic foot ulcers at our hospital from January 2017 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A control group and a PRF group were established. The two groups of patients underwent debridement. In the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) group, autologous L-PRF was used to cover ulcer wounds. One time each week, Vaseline gauze was used to cover the ulcer wounds. In contrast, the control group was treated with the external application of mupirocin ointment and recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel (yeast). Two times each week, the sterile Vaseline gauze was covered with a bandage. Both groups were treated for 5 weeks. The wound recovery of the two groups was observed. During the early stage of treatment (first and second weeks) for diabetic foot ulcers, the wound healing rate was significantly better with L-PRF treatment than traditional treatment. For later-stage treatment (third to fifth weeks), the overall cure rate was higher with L-PRF than the traditional treatment method. L-PRF can effectively promote wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Near-infrared (NIR) light has been successfully applied to improve the quality of mouse platelets during storage. Because it is suspected that the mitochondria contain the primary photon acceptor, we hypothesized that human platelets for transfusion may be affected similarly and could benefit from NIR light treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The optimal light dose was determined using portions of platelet concentrates (PCs) in PAS-E. A pool-and-split design was used to prepare PCs in PAS-E or plasma (n = 6). On day 1, one unit of both pairs was illuminated with 830 nm light (light-emitting diodes, 15 J/cm2). PCs were stored at 22°C and sampled regularly for analysis. Data were compared with their corresponding controls with a paired two-sided t-test. RESULTS Illuminated platelets in PAS-E were less activated with significantly lower CD62P expression (day 8: 10.8 ± 1.8 vs. 12.2 ± 2.6, p < 0.05) and lower Annexin A5 binding (day 8: 11.8 ± 1.9 vs. 13.1 ± 2.4, ns). They produced significantly less lactate resulting in a higher pH (days 6-10). ATP content and mitochondrial membrane potential were not affected. Although these trends were also observed for PCs in plasma, the differences did not reach statistical significance as compared with the control group. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that the glycolysis rate of human platelets can be modulated through the use of NIR, possibly through mitochondrial aerobic metabolism, but this requires confirmation. If NIR illumination can be further optimized, it may potentially become a useful tool in situations in which glycolysis and platelet activation are exacerbated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet concentrates (PCs) used for transfusion can be produced by apheresis or derived from whole blood (WB). The Reveos device is the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved automated blood processing system that can produce PCs. In this work, we evaluated the quality and function of Reveos-collected PCs stored for 7 days at room temperature. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS WB was collected from healthy donors and componentized on the day of collection (Fresh) or after an overnight hold (Overnight). PCs were produced (n = 7 Fresh; n = 6 Overnight), stored at room temperature in plasma, and evaluated on days 1 and 7 for quality metrics, platelet activation, clot formation, and aggregation response. RESULTS Platelet count was comparable between Fresh and Overnight PCs. A drop in pH was reported in Fresh day 7 PCs (p < .001, vs. day 1) but not in Overnight. Overnight units displayed the lowest levels of P-selectin expression (p = .0008, vs. day 7 Fresh). Reduced clot strength and increased lysis were observed in both Fresh and Overnight units on day 7 (vs. day 1). Overnight-hold PCs resulted in the highest clot strength on day 7 (p = .0084, vs. Fresh). No differences in aggregation were reported between groups. CONCLUSION Reveos-processed PCs produced from overnight-hold WB performed better in hemostatic function assays and displayed reduced activation compared to fresh WB-derived PCs, although both PC groups maintained platelet quality throughout storage. Utilization of overnight WB for PC preparation with Reveos holds promise as an alternative method of producing platelets for transfusion purposes.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a dysbiosis-driven inflammatory disease affecting the tooth-supporting tissues, characterized by their progressive resorption, which can ultimately lead to tooth loss. A step-wise therapeutic approach is employed for periodontitis. After an initial behavioral and non-surgical phase, intra-bony or furcation defects may be amenable to regenerative procedures. This review discusses the regenerative technologies employed for periodontal regeneration, highlighting the current limitations and future research areas. The search, performed on the MEDLINE database, has identified the available biomaterials, including biologicals (autologous platelet concentrates, hydrogels), bone grafts (pure or putty), and membranes. Biologicals and bone grafts have been critically analyzed in terms of composition, mechanism of action, and clinical applications. Although a certain degree of periodontal regeneration is predictable in intra-bony and class II furcation defects, complete defect closure is hardly achieved. Moreover, treating class III furcation defects remains challenging. The key properties required for functional regeneration are discussed, and none of the commercially available biomaterials possess all the ideal characteristics. Therefore, research is needed to promote the advancement of more effective and targeted regenerative therapies for periodontitis. Lastly, improving the design and reporting of clinical studies is suggested by strictly adhering to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Platelet concentrates (PC) are stored at 20-24°C to maintain platelet functionality, which may promote growth of contaminant bacteria. Alternatively, cold storage of PC limits bacterial growth; however, data related to proliferation of psychotrophic species in cold-stored PC (CSP) are scarce, which is addressed in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight laboratories participated in this study with a pool/split approach. Two split PC units were spiked with ~25 colony forming units (CFU)/PC of Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia liquefaciens, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Listeria monocytogenes. One unit was stored under agitation at 20-24°C/7 days while the second was stored at 1-6°C/no agitation for 21 days. PC were sampled periodically to determine bacterial loads. Five laboratories repeated the study with PC inoculated with lyophilized inocula (~30 CFU/mL) of S. aureus and K. pneumoniae. RESULTS All species proliferated in PC stored at 20-24°C, reaching concentrations of ≤109 CFU/mL by day 7. Psychrotrophic P. fluorescens and S. liquefaciens proliferated in CSP to ~106 CFU/mL and ~105 CFU/mL on days 10 and 17 of storage, respectively, followed by L. monocytogenes, which reached ~102 CFU/mL on day 21. S. aureus and K. pneumoniae did not grow in CSP. CONCLUSION Psychrotrophic bacteria, which are relatively rare contaminants in PC, proliferated in CSP, with P. fluorescens reaching clinically significant levels (≥105 CFU/mL) before day 14 of storage. Cold storage reduces bacterial risk of PC to levels comparable with RBC units. Safety of CSP could be further improved by implementing bacterial detection systems or pathogen reduction technologies if storage is beyond 10 days.

Abstract
Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the predominant bacterial contaminants in platelet concentrates (PCs), a blood component used to treat bleeding disorders. PCs are a unique niche that triggers biofilm formation, the main pathomechanism of S. epidermidis infections. We performed whole genome sequencing of four S. epidermidis strains isolated from skin of healthy human volunteers (AZ22 and AZ39) and contaminated PCs (ST10002 and ST11003) to unravel phylogenetic relationships and decipher virulence mechanisms compared to 24 complete S. epidermidis genomes in GenBank. AZ39 and ST11003 formed a separate unique lineage with strains 14.1 .R1 and SE95, while AZ22 formed a cluster with 1457 and ST10002 closely grouped with FDAAGOS_161. The four isolates were assigned to sequence types ST1175, ST1174, ST73 and ST16, respectively. All four genomes exhibited biofilm-associated genes ebh, ebp, sdrG, sdrH and atl. Additionally, AZ22 had sdrF and aap, whereas ST10002 had aap and icaABCDR. Notably, AZ39 possesses truncated ebh and sdrG and harbours a toxin-encoding gene. All isolates carry multiple antibiotic resistance genes conferring resistance to fosfomycin (fosB), β-lactams (blaZ) and fluoroquinolones (norA). This study reveales a unique lineage for S. epidermidis and provides insight into the genetic basis of virulence and antibiotic resistance in transfusion-associated S. epidermidis strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet concentrates (PCs) could be prepared using either whole-blood processes or apheresis instruments. During collection, processing and storage, some biochemical and functional changes occur, which may result in quality reduction. Quality evaluation of PCs may be helpful for the precise control of platelet (PLT) inventory to reduce the risk of refractoriness and adverse effects caused by platelet transfusion. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The study was aimed to evaluate the quality of PCs which were produced by five processes: apheresis (AP) procedures (using three different cell separators: Amicus, Trima Accel and MCS+ instruments), platelet rich plasma (PRP), and buffy coat (BC). A total of 100 PCs (20 of each group) were assessed in respect of routine quality control, morphology, size distribution, destroyed and activated platelets, and production of platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs). RESULTS All PCs have satisfied the recommended quality of volume, platelet count, residual WBC count, residual RBC count, pH, and sterility according to the Chinese Technical Manual. There was no difference among the 5 groups in morphology and size of PLT and PMPs. Dynamic light scattering test showed that apheresis PCs showed peaks around 10-20 nm, but not whole blood-derived PCs. PCs prepared by Amicus had the relatively high percentage of destroyed platelet, activated platelets and PMPs than other groups. DISCUSSION The data suggested high heterogeneity of PMPs, destroyed and activated platelets in PCs produced by different processes, which might be helpful to manage the platelet inventory for targeted use.

Abstract
Temperature plays a fundamental role in biology, influencing cellular function, chemical reaction rates, molecular structures, and interactions. While the temperature dependence of many biochemical reactions is well defined in vitro, the effect of temperature on metabolic function at the network level is poorly understood, and it remains an important challenge in optimizing the storage of cells and tissues at lower temperatures. Here, we used time-course metabolomic data and systems biology approaches to characterize the effects of storage temperature on human platelets (PLTs) in a platelet additive solution. We observed that changes to the metabolome with storage time do not simply scale with temperature but instead display complex temperature dependence, with only a small subset of metabolites following an Arrhenius-type relationship. Investigation of PLT energy metabolism through integration with computational modeling revealed that oxidative metabolism is more sensitive to temperature changes than glycolysis. The increased contribution of glycolysis to ATP turnover at lower temperatures indicates a stronger glycolytic phenotype with decreasing storage temperature. More broadly, these results demonstrate that the temperature dependence of the PLT metabolic network is not uniform, suggesting that efforts to improve the health of stored PLTs could be targeted at specific pathways.

Abstract
Introduction Impacted third molar extraction is frequently removed surgically by maxillofacial surgeons, which is mostly associated with postoperative sequelae like pain and swelling. It is essential to minimize the complications and enhance wound healing in the extracted socket of the third molar. Hence, this study aimed to assess the efficiency of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in wound healing and reducing pain after surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM). Materials and methods Thirty healthy patients who have been diagnosed with Pell and Gregory class II IMTM were included in this study. In the study group, which comprises 15 patients, extraction sockets were filled with A-PRF extract. In the control group, no material was placed in the extraction sockets. The pain was assessed preoperative and on the third and seventh postoperative days using a visual analog scale (VAS). Wound healing was assessed on the third and seventh postoperative days using a modified laundry scale. SPSS for Windows was used for data analysis. Categorical data was compared between the groups using the Chi-square test. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results The study population's mean age was 25.67 ± 2.4 years. Nineteen patients were male, and 11 patients were female. Differences in mean pain scores between the groups were not statistically significant both on the third postoperative day (p=0.59) and the seventh postoperative day (p=0.33). During the seventh day postoperative day, the study group exhibited better wound healing compared to the control group and the results were statistically significant (p=0.01). Conclusion A-PRF is a simple and effective method of reducing postoperative sequela by promoting wound healing after surgical extraction of IMTM. It has the advantage of less chance of allergic and anaphylactic reactions, unlike their predecessor platelet concentrates.

Abstract
Platelet concentrates are used for cell induction and stimulation in tissue repair processes. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the biological and cellular properties of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) to those of other platelet concentrates. Searches were conducted on the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and LILACS databases using a search strategy oriented by the guiding question. A total of 589 records were retrieved. Seven articles of in vitro experimental studies were selected for qualitative data analysis and four were selected for meta-analysis. The release of growth factors, distribution of cells in the fibrin membrane, and cell viability, the fibrin network, and fibroblast migration were investigated. In the final analysis, statistically significant differences were found for the A-PRF group with regard to platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor, epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor at all assessment times. A difference was found with regard to bone morphogenetic protein only in the later assessment, and no differences among groups were found with regard to platelet-derived growth factor or insulin-like growth factor. The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that A-PRF has superior cellular properties and better release of growth factors compared to other platelet concentrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Platelet concentrates (PCs) contaminated with Cutibacterium acnes are often transfused prior to detection by the BACT/ALERT system. Though C. acnes is implicated in mild transfusion reactions, delayed clinical effects are unknown. This study assessed the ability to enhance C. acnes detection by supplementing culture media with Tween 80 (T80, an oleic acid source) and a commercial nutrient supplement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anaerobic culture bottles (BPN) were supplemented with T80 or oleic acid. T80-supplemented BPN bottles were inoculated with four C. acnes isolates (10 or 100 colony-forming units [CFU]/bottle) or other transfusion-relevant bacteria (10 CFU/bottle). Samples of plasma containing SSP+ (platelet additive solution [PAS]) (PAS-plasma) at different concentrations, plasma-PCs and PAS-PCs, spiked with two C. acnes isolates (10 CFU/bottle), were inoculated into T80-supplemented BPN bottles. Furthermore, plasma-PCs were spiked with C. acnes and tested in BPN bottles supplemented with the BD Difco Supplement VX (BDVx). Bottles were incubated in the BACT/ALERT system and times to detection (TtoD) were compared (N = 3). RESULTS A reduction in TtoD of ≤3.5 days was observed for C. acnes in T80-supplemented BPN, while other species did not show the same effect. However, false positives were observed when T80-supplemented BPN was inoculated with PAS-plasma (except for 70% PAS:30% plasma), plasma-PCs or PAS-PCs. Oleic acid supplementation also resulted in false positives. Interestingly, BDVx-supplemented BPN reduced the TtoD of C. acnes in PCs by ≤1.2 days (p < 0.05), with no false-positive results. CONCLUSION BDVx supplementation for detection of C. acnes from PCs could result in timely unit retrieval, preventing the transfusion of contaminated products. In clinical settings, T80 supplementation could significantly enhance C. acnes detection from non-blood-derived samples.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation blood concentrate that serves as an autologous approach for both soft and hard tissue regeneration. It provides a scaffold for cell interaction and promotes the local release of growth factors. PRF has been investigated as an alternative to bone tissue therapy, with the potential to expedite wound healing and bone regeneration, though the mechanisms involved are not yet fully understood. This review aims to explore the in vitro evidence of PRF's effects on the behavior of mineralizing cells related to bone tissue regeneration. A systematic electronic search was conducted up to August 2023, utilizing three databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. A total of 76 studies were selected, which presented in vitro evidence of PRF's usefulness, either alone or in conjunction with other biomaterials, for bone tissue treatment. PRF membranes' influence on the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of bone cells is linked to the constant release of growth factors, resulting in changes in crucial markers of bone cell metabolism and behavior. This further reinforces their therapeutic potential in wound healing and bone regeneration. While there are some notable differences among the studies, the overall results suggest a positive effect of PRF on cell proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, and a reduction in inflammation. This points to its therapeutic potential in the field of regenerative medicine. Collectively, these findings may help enhance our understanding of how PRF impacts basic physiological processes in bone and mineralized tissue.

Abstract
An experimental study by the Paul-Ehrlich Institute (PEI) demonstrated that temperatures between 35 and 37 °C are too high for the growth of some bacterial strains (e.g., Pseudomonas fluorescens), leading to false negative results. Thus, the question of whether it is necessary to adapt incubation temperatures for the microbiological control of blood products, especially platelet concentrates (PCs), to enhance safety and regulatory compliance has arisen. In order to further elucidate this issue, the growth capability of different bacterial strains of interest in PCs and the detection efficacy of cultivation of these at different incubation temperatures must be taken into account. Therefore, we inoculated PCs with 46 different strains (3-6 PCs from different donors per strain) from different origins (PC isolates, reference strains) and stored PCs at 20-22 °C under constant agitation. On day three of storage, the inoculated PCs were sampled; aerobic and anaerobic culture bottles (BacT/Alert AST/NST) were each inoculated with 5 mL of sample, and culture bottles were incubated at 25 and 35 °C using the automated BacT/Alert Dual-temperature system. Bacterial proliferation was enumerated using a colony-forming assay. All strains of Enterobacteriacae (n = 5), Staphy-lococcus spp. (n = 11), Streptococcus spp. (n = 5), and Bacillus spp. (n = 4) and most Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains (4 of 5) tested showed the capability to grow in most inoculated PCs, revealing a faster time to detection (TTD) at an incubation temperature of 35 °C. The tested Pseudomonas putida (n = 3) strains showed a noticeably reduced capability to grow in PCs. Nonetheless, those with a notable growth capability revealed a faster TTD at an incubation temperature of 35 °C. Only one of the four Pseudomonas fluorescens strains tested (strain ATCC 13525) was able to grow in PCs, showing a faster TTD at an incubation temperature of 25 °C but also detection at 35 °C. The commonly detected bacteria involved in the bacterial contamination of PCs showed a superior TTD at 35 °C incubation. Only one P. fluorescens strain showed superior growth at 25 °C; however, the microbiological control at 35 °C did not fail to identify this contamination. In conclusion, the use of PC screening using a dual-temperature setting for microbiological control is presently not justified according to the observed kinetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Staphylococcus aureus is a predominant contaminant of platelet concentrates (PCs) that can evade detection during screening with culture methods. Importantly, S. aureus produces staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) during PC storage, which are linked to slow growth and enhanced biofilm formation. This study investigated timing of SE production during PC storage and feasibility of SE detection as a PC safety strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Genomic and transcriptomic data of transfusion-relevant S. aureus PS/BAC/169/17/W, PS/BAC/317/16/W, CI/BAC/25/13/W and CBS2016-05 were used to determine the presence and differential expression of exotoxin genes in PCs. Trypticase soy broth (TSB) and PCs were inoculated with 1.0E+06 cfu/mL of S. aureus PS/BAC/169/17/W and CBS2016-05. Expression of SEs at different growth phases was confirmed with Western blotting. PCs were inoculated with 30 cfu/unit of the same strains, and SE detection during PC storage was optimized with a sandwich dot-ELISA assay. RESULTS S. aureus genomes contain multiple exotoxin genes including those encoding for SEs. Transcriptome data revealed significant upregulation (0.5-6.7-fold, p < 0.05) of SE genes in PCs versus TSB. Western blots demonstrated SE production at all growth phases. Notably, dot-ELISA detected clinically relevant concentrations of SEs (~0.2 μg/mL) at 32 h of PC storage when S. aureus PS/BAC/169/17/W and CBS2016-05 counts were 1.8E+04 and 1.4E+04 cfu/mL, respectively. CONCLUSION Genomic analyses revealed that staphylococcal exotoxins are widely distributed and highly conserved among transfusion-relevant S. aureus isolates. Furthermore, SEs are significantly upregulated in PCs and detected at 30 h of PC storage. Therefore, bacterial toxin detection could supplement mitigation strategies to enhance PC safety.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is a well-defined treatment performed to reduce bone dimensional changes occurring during the healing of post-extraction sockets to allow for adequate implant placement. Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) has been showing to potentially promote bone and tissue regeneration during wound healing. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate its efficacy for ARP when applied to fresh extraction sockets, in comparison with spontaneous healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients with hopeless non-molar teeth were treated. After randomization, fresh extraction sockets were either filled with L-PRF or allowed to heal spontaneously. CBCTs and intraoral scans were obtained immediately after extraction and at 4 months. Through superimposition of the obtained images, changes in the horizontal ridge width, height, buccal volume, and ridge contour changes were measured, as well as patient-reported outcome measures (PROM's). RESULTS The ridge dimensions changed similarly in both groups. Although less reduction occurred in the test group at 1 mm from the bone crest, differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Application of L-PRF did not prevent reductions of ridge contours, neither in the linear vertical aspect nor in volumetric changes. There were no differences between groups in the need for bone regeneration when placing implants. Patients in both groups reported similar outcomes in terms of bleeding, pain, inflammation, and function at 1 and 4 weeks postoperatively. CONCLUSION Alveolar preservation with L-PRF neither minimized bone resorption occurring after tooth extraction in non-molar sites nor reduced the need for bone regeneration when placing implants. Furthermore, its use did not improve PROM's.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study was designed to clinically compare and evaluate subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) membrane-based root coverage in the treatment of gingival recession type 1 (RT1). METHOD AND MATERIALS The current study involved 17 patients with bilateral gingival recession (RT1). Thirty-four sites were randomly allocated to test (A-PRF) and control (SCTG) sites and all the procedures were performed by a single operator. A single blinded observer evaluated the test and control sites at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The clinical parameters such as recession depth, recession width, width of keratinized gingiva, clinical attachment level, and percentage of root coverage were recorded. P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The mean recession depth at baseline for control and test groups was 3.06 ± 0.56 mm and 2.35 ± 0.49 mm, respectively (P < .001). At the end of the study period, the mean recession depth was 0.53 ± 0.62 mm in the control group and 1.12 ± 0.49 mm in the test group (P < .05). No complications were associated with both the groups. The mean percentage of root coverage was 84.31 ± 17.89% in the control group and 51.96 ± 15.45% in the test group (P < .001). CONCLUSION In conclusion, the study results suggest that both SCTG and A-PRF can be used in treating gingival recessions. However, SCTG is a better material in achieving root coverage and increasing keratinized tissue width. (Quintessence Int 2023;54:134-141; doi: 10.3290/j.qi.b3512389).

Abstract
Biofilm formation and slow growth by Staphylococcus aureus in platelet concentrates (PCs) cause missed detection of this bacterium during routine PC screening with automated culture systems. This heightens the chances of false-negative screening transfusions and pre-disposes transfusion patients to an elevated risk of sepsis due to secretion of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) in PCs. A hybrid approach of comparative RNAseq analyses and CRISPR mutagenesis of SE genes was employed to investigate the effect of SEs in S. aureus growth and biofilm formation in PCs. RNAseq data showed no differential expression for key biofilm genes, whereas SE genes were upregulated (>0.5- to 3.6-fold change) in PCs compared to trypticase soy broth (TSB). Remarkably, growth and biofilm formation assays revealed increased growth for the S. aureus SE mutants, while their ability to form biofilms was significantly impaired (−6.8- to −2.4-fold change) in comparison to the wild type strain, in both PCs and TSB. Through the well-established superantigen mechanism of SEs, we propose three roles for SEs during biofilm development in PCs: (1) provide a scaffold for biofilm matrix, (2) mediate cell-to-cell aggregation, and (3) guarantee biofilm survival. Furthermore, SE contribution to both growth and biofilm development seems to be centrally regulated by agr via quorum sensing and by saeSR and sigB. This study reveals new roles for SEs, which enforce their relevance in ensuring PC safety for transfusion patients. It further deciphers the underlying reasons for failed S. aureus detection in PCs during screening with automated culture systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with severe thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow failure and after chemotherapy are still treated with platelet transfusions. Platelet concentrates (PC) are associated with a high incidence of adverse reactions (AR). Platelet-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) and complement were proposed to play a role in the pathology of AR. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Single donor apheresis platelet concentrates (SDA PCs) were produced in a regional setting of the French Blood Establishment. After transfusion samples were collected from PC and possible AR in patients were recorded. Platelet activation markers, High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and complement activation products (CAP) were measured. The correlation between platelet activation, and HMGB1 and complement activation was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 56 PC were included in the study. 30 PC induced no AR, and 26 induced AR (Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction n = 16; Atypical Allergic Transfusion Reactions n = 11; hemodynamic instability n = 5) in the patients. The levels of P-selectin, sCD40L, HMGB1, C3b/c, and C4b/c were all significantly increased in PC that induced AR following transfusion in patients. Additionally, HMGB1, C3b/c, and C4b/c were positively correlated with P-selectin and sCD40L. CONCLUSION In this study, we observed an association between HMGB1 and CAP and the incidence of AR. Furthermore, we demonstrated that both HMGB1 and complement activation were correlated to platelet activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial contamination in platelet concentrates (PCs) is a major problem in transfusion medicine. Contamination with Staphylococcus aureus is occasionally missed, even with cultural screening. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Donors implicated in S. aureus-contaminated PC were followed up. Skin and nasal swab specimens from six donors and S. aureus isolated from PCs related to these donors were subjected to multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to determine the identity of bacteria. To evaluate the validity of the screening method using BacT/ALERT 3D, we spiked S. aureus and three other bacterial species as comparisons into PCs and investigated their growth pattern. RESULTS S. aureus was isolated from all nasal specimens and from the arm skin specimens of three donors with atopic dermatitis. In all cases, the S. aureus strains isolated from the PC and those from the nasal and skin specimens of the same donor showed concordant results using MLST and PFGE. In the spiking study, S. aureus showed irregular detectability over 24 to 48 h post-spike periods, whereas the three other bacterial species were detected in all culture bottles after a 24-h post-spike period. DISCUSSION The strain identity of S. aureus between donor and PC suggests that the contaminants were derived from those colonized in the donor. Furthermore, S. aureus yielded false-negative results using BacT/ALERT 3D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In many countries, whole blood (WB) donations with collection times between 12 and 15 min are not allowed to be used for platelet concentrates (PC). Since the development of guidelines, many process-related changes have been introduced. We aimed to determine the effect of WB with long collection times on PC quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five participating centres tested buffy coat (BC)-derived PC in platelet additive solution type E prepared from only WB collections lasting <12 min (control) versus similar PC including one BC from a collection lasting >12 min (study group, n = 8). One centre produced platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-derived PC from single donations (<10 or >12 min). All PC were stored at 22 ± 2°C and sampled on Days 1, 6 and 8 post-collection for in vitro quality determination. RESULTS Average collection time was significantly longer in the study group compared to controls (8.9 ± 2.6 vs. 7.3 ± 1.3 min, p < 0.001). There were no differences in volume, platelet concentration, basal CD62P expression, soluble-CD62P and CCL5 levels, or nucleotide content between the groups. Stimulation with TRAP-6 resulted in comparable levels of cell surface CD62P. On Day 8, all PC fulfilled requirements for pH. The findings from single PRP-derived PC centre were similar. CONCLUSION PC with one BC and single PRP derived from collections lasting >12 min had equivalent in vitro quality to controls during storage. This study provides evidence that 12-15 min donations should not be excluded for PC preparation and justifies to readdress the guidelines to <15 min instead of <12 min of collection in line with current practice in some countries.

Abstract
Context Gingival recessions are commonly seen in the dentally cognizant population as well as those with limited access to dental attention. When root coverage is planned, the ultimate goal is to obtain complete root coverage, thus restoring the lost gingival unit covering the root. Aims To determine the efficacy of sticky bone and concentrated growth factor (CGF) membrane along with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) as compared to CAF alone in treating Miller's Class I and Class II gingival recessions (Cairo RT1). Settings and Design The current study was a randomized double-blind controlled trial on 15 subjects using a split-mouth design. Materials and Methods Fifteen subjects who were systemically healthy and had recession sites (30 sites) were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (test group = CAF + CGF + sticky bone) and Group B (control group = CAF alone). Clinical outcome was assessed with parameters such as recession depth, recession width, keratinized gingival width, gingival mucosal thickness, and relative attachment level (RAL), and these were assessed at baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months. Results A distinct improvement was observed in the depth and width of recession, RAL, keratinized gingival width, and mucosal thickness of the gingiva in the two groups from baseline to 6 months. Statistical significance was not seen on intergroup comparisons. Conclusions Thus, clinical outcomes revealed noticeable improvement for both the groups. However, statistically, the efficacy of CGF and sticky bone was not perceived to be superior to that of CAF alone.

Abstract
Standard platelet concentrates (PCs) stored at 22°C have a limited shelf life of 5 days. Because of the storage temperature, bacterial contamination of PCs can result in life‐threatening infections in transfused patients. The potential of blood components to cause infections through contaminating pathogens or transmitting blood‐borne diseases has always been a concern. The current safety practice to prevent pathogen transmission through blood transfusion starts with a stringent screening of donors and regulated testing of blood samples to ensure that known infections cannot reach transfusion products. Pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs), initially implemented to ensure the safety of plasma products, have been adapted to treat platelet products. In addition to reducing bacterial contamination, PRT applied to PCs can extend their shelf life up to 7 days, alleviating the impact of their shortage, while providing an additional safety layer against emerging blood‐borne infectious diseases. While a deleterious action of PRTs in quantitative and qualitative aspects of plasma is accepted, the impact of PRTs on the quality, function, and clinical efficacy of PCs has been under constant examination. The potential of PRTs to prevent the possibility of new emerging diseases to reach cellular blood components has been considered more hypothetical than real. In 2019, a coronavirus‐related disease (COVID‐19) became a pandemic. This episode should help when reconsidering the possibility of future blood transmissible threats. The following text intends to evaluate the impact of different PRTs on the quality, function, and clinical effectiveness of platelets within the perspective of a developing pandemic.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to examine the latest literature on the use of autologous platelet-rich fibrin as a drug and growth factor carrier system in maxillofacial surgery. Autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a unique system that combines properties such as biocompatibility and biodegradability, in addition to containing growth factors and peptides that provide tissue regeneration. This opens up new horizons for the use of all beneficial ingredients in the blood sample for biomedical purposes. By itself, PRF has an unstable effect on osteogenesis: therefore, advanced approaches, including the combination of PRF with materials or drugs, are of great interest in clinics. The main advantage of drug delivery systems is that by controlling drug release, high drug concentrations locally and fewer side effects within other tissue can be achieved. This is especially important in tissues with limited blood supply, such as bone tissue compared to soft tissue. The ability of PRF to degrade naturally is considered an advantage for its use as a "warehouse" of controlled drug release systems. We are focusing on this concentrate, as it is easy to use in manipulations and can be delivered directly to the surgical site. The target audience for this review are researchers and medical doctors who are involved in the development and research of PRFs further studies. Likewise, surgeons who use PRF in their work to treat patients and who advice patients to take the medicine orally.

Abstract
This in vitro study was carried out to evaluate the potential antibacterial properties of canine non-transfusional hemo-components. Therapeutic formulations commonly used for regenerative medicine purposes (platelet-rich plasma, platelet gel, platelet lysate, fibrin glue), considering both leukocyte-rich and leukocyte-poor formulations, but also platelet-poor plasma and activating substances (thrombin, calcium gluconate), were tested to detect elements with potential antimicrobial properties. The antibacterial effect was tested on different bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus subspecies aureus, Staphylococcus cohnii subspecies cohnii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies pneumoniae) isolated from canine wounds and classified as susceptible, multidrug-, extensively, and pandrug-resistant bacteria toward a known panel of human and veterinary antibiotics. The evaluation was carried out by agar gel diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) and micro-inhibition in broth using microplates and spectrophotometer reading. The study findings confirmed the hypothesized antibacterial properties of canine non-transfusional hemo-components. A more effective bacteriostatic effect was found against Gram-negative bacteria, drug-resistant too. The presence of leukocytes or platelets does not appear to be essential for the antibacterial effect. Further studies should be conducted to evaluate the exact mechanism of action of the antimicrobial activity. However, non-transfusional hemo-components could be a useful natural aid in controlling bacterial infections in dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The procoagulant profile of platelet concentrates (PCs) following transfusion has been difficult to evaluate due to lack of specific markers. This study aimed to characterize procoagulant platelets in PCs and the effect of transfusion. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Buffy coat-derived PCs from 12 donors were pooled, split, then stored conventionally, cold (2-6°C) or cryopreserved (-80°C). Procoagulant platelet profiles were assessed by flow cytometry (GSAO+ /P-selectin+ ), lactadherin-binding, and calibrated automated thrombogram, during storage, unstimulated, or after thrombin and collagen stimulation and compared with blood from healthy volunteers. Platelet activation (P-selectin) and procoagulant platelet formation potential were measured (flow cytometry) in patients receiving clinically indicated conventional PC transfusion. RESULTS Independent of significant increases with storage, procoagulant platelet proportions with and without agonist stimulation were significantly blunted in conventionally stored PCs (stimulated day 5 conventional PC 4.2 ± 1.3%, healthy volunteer blood 11.1 ± 2.9%; p < .0001). Cryopreserved PCs contained the highest proportion of procoagulant platelets (unstimulated: cryopreserved 25.6 ± 1.8% vs. day 5 conventional 0.5 ± 0.1% vs. day 14 cold-stored 5.8 ± 1.0%, p < .0001), but demonstrated minimal increase with agonist. Transfusion of PCs was associated with an increase in procoagulant platelets (2.2 ± 1.4% vs. 0.6 ± 0.2%; p = .004) and reversal of the blunted agonist response (15.8 ± 5.9% vs. 4.0 ± 1.6%; p < .0001). Procoagulant responses post-transfusion were significantly higher than healthy controls, suggesting a priming effect. The P-selectin agonist response was not restored upon transfusion (79.4 ± 13.9% vs. 82.0 ± 2.5%). CONCLUSION Storage blunts the procoagulant platelet response to agonist stimulation in PCs. Despite this, conventionally stored PCs have high procoagulant potential following transfusion, with a discordant, persistent reduction in P-selectin response.

Abstract
AIM Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived material that has been used to enhance bone regeneration. Clinical studies, however, reported inconsistent outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of changes in leucocyte and PRP (L-PRP) composition on bone defect healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS L-PRPs were prepared using different centrifugation methods and their regenerative potential was assessed in an in-vivo rat model. Bilateral critical-size tibial bone defects were created and filled with single-spin L-PRP, double-spin L-PRP, or filtered L-PRP. Empty defects and defects treated with collagen scaffolds served as controls. Rats were euthanized after 2 weeks, and their tibias were collected and analysed using micro-CT and histology. RESULTS Double-spin L-PRP contained higher concentrations of platelets than single-spin L-PRP and filtered L-PRP. Filtration of single-spin L-PRP resulted in lower concentrations of minerals and metabolites. In vivo, double-spin L-PRP improved bone healing by significantly reducing the size of bone defects (1.08 ± 0.2 mm3 ) compared to single-spin L-PRP (1.42 ± 0.27 mm3 ) or filtered L-PRP (1.38 ± 0.28 mm3 ). There were fewer mast cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages in defects treated with double-spin L-PRP than in those treated with single-spin or filtered L-PRP. CONCLUSION The preparation method of L-PRP affects their composition and potential to regenerate bone.

Abstract
Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) can be defined as an autologous leukocyte and platelet-rich biomaterial. Unlike other platelet-rich products, this technique does not require an anticoagulant or bovine thrombin. However, it is simply centrifuged blood without any additives, which makes it possible to avoid all of the legal restrictions related to the reimplantation of blood-derived products. L-PRF is composed of a fibrin matrix polymerized in a tetramolecular structure and is involved in the joining of platelets, leukocytes, cytokines, and circulating stem cells. The use of silica- coated test tubes is arising a lot of queries about the safety of L-PRF prepared within these test tubes. So, to avoid the use of silicacoated test tubes, titanium prepared PRF has come in practice now, as titanium is biocompatible metal and has property of histoconduction. The present case report is about successful esthetic root coverage around mandibular anterior teeth with clinical attachment loss of 4–5 mm at baseline. The patient had reduced sensitivity, CAL was 1 mm, and attached gingiva covered denuded root surface after 15 days and after 3-month recall appointment.

Abstract
Background: Binding of such proteins with a developing fibrin mesh or to the extracellular matrix has the ability to create chemotactic gradients aiding the recruitment of stem cells, thereby, stimulating cell migration and differentiation this may promotes repair and regeneration. There is a unique concept in platelet concentrates called platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) which is processed using higher attraction without the utilization of bovine thrombin. Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and PRFM against root canal microflora. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were taken from 20 adults, age ranging from 20 to 40 years who were systemically healthy, nonsmokers with no symptoms of infection, or on antibiotics at least 3 months before experiments. The procedures and the protocols involved in the study were accepted by the Institutional Ethical Committee. Written informed consent was obtained from the donors and patients. Approximately 10 ml of blood was collected from each donor. 5 ml of blood was used for the preparation of PRF and 5 ml for PRFM. Results: The antifungal scores among the groups. The highest antifungal scores were seen in metapex followed by PRF and PRFM group. Kruskal–Wallis test was applied to check the statistical difference among the groups, and there was a statistically significant difference seen among the groups (P = 0.00). The antibacterial scores among the groups. The highest antibacterial scores were seen in Metapex followed by PRF group and PRFM group Kruskal–Wallis test was applied to check the statistical difference among the groups, and there was a statistically significant difference seen among the groups. Conclusion: PRF demonstrated antibacterial activity against passage isolates but had no antifungal efficacy. This antibacterial property may be a valuable adjunct when using PRF for regenerative procedures in endodontics. Both PRF and PRFM have to be analyzed for antimicrobial properties for extended duration and various other clinical strains with larger sample size.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of platelet-rich fibrin on bone formation by investigating its use in guided bone regeneration, sinus elevation and implant therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The eligibility criteria comprised human controlled clinical trials comparing the clinical outcomes of platelet-rich fibrin with those of other treatment modalities. The outcomes measured included percentage of new bone formation, percentage of residual bone graft, implant survival rate, change in bone dimension (horizontal and vertical), and implant stability quotient values. RESULTS From 320 articles identified, 18 studies were included. Owing to the heterogeneity of the investigated parameters, a meta-analysis was only possible for sinus elevation. There is a general lack of data from comparative randomised clinical trials evaluating platelet-rich fibrin for guided bone regeneration procedures (only two studies), with no quantifiable advantages in terms of new bone formation or dimensional bone gain found in the platelet-rich fibrin group. For sinus elevation, the meta-analysis demonstrated no advantage in terms of histological new bone formation in the control group (bone graft alone) compared with the test group (bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin). Two studies demonstrated that platelet-rich fibrin may shorten healing periods prior to implant placement. Platelet-rich fibrin was also shown to slightly enhance primary implant stability (implant stability quotient value < 5) as assessed using implant stability quotients and resonance frequency analysis parameters, with no histological data evaluating bone-implant contact yet available on this topic. In one study, platelet-rich fibrin was shown to improve the clinical parameters when utilised as an adjunct for the treatment of peri-implantitis. CONCLUSIONS In the majority of studies, platelet-rich fibrin offered little or no clear advantage in terms of new bone formation as evaluated in various studies on guided bone regeneration and sinus elevation, nor in implant stability and treatment of peri-implantitis. Various authors and systematic reviews on the topic have now expressed criticism of the various study designs and protocols, and the lack of appropriate controls and available information regarding patient selection. Well-controlled human studies on these specific topics are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate marginal bone loss (MBL) in immediate implant procedures (IIP) placed in conjunction with platelet concentrates (PCs) compared to IIP without PCs. METHODS A search was performed in four databases. Clinical trials evaluating MBL of IIP placed with and without PCs were included. The random effects model was conducted for meta-analysis. RESULTS Eight clinical trials that evaluated MBL in millimeters were included. A total of 148 patients and 232 immediate implants were evaluated. The meta-analysis showed a statistically significant reduction on MBL of IIP placed with PCs when compared to the non-PCs group at 6 months (p < 0.00001) and 12 months (p < 0.00001) follow-ups. No statistically significant differences were observed on MBL of IIP when compared PCs + bone graft group vs. only bone grafting at 6 months (p = 0.51), and a significant higher MBL of IIP placed with PCs + bone graft when compared to only bone grafting at 12 months was found (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS MBL of IIP at 6 and 12 months follow-ups is lower when PCs are applied in comparison to not placing PCs, which may lead to more predictable implant treatments in the medium term. However, MBL seems not to diminish when PCs + bone graft are applied when compared to only bone grafting.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to describe a new technique through which it is possible to complete the maxillary sinus lift procedure even in case of severe damage or complete removal of the sinus mucosa using the PRGF-Endoret® platelet concentrate. Eighteen patients (ratio F:M=4:5; average age: 58.2 years; DS: 8.85 years) with severe perforation (more than 10 millimetres of diameter) of the sinus mucosa during the maxillary sinus lift procedure were selected. Normally the procedure is interrupted due to impossible stabilization of the graft material inside the subantral cavity. On the contrary, our protocol foreseen the sealing of the perforation using the PRGF autologous gel membranes or the creation of a new sinus pseudomembrane through which the graft material was covered. The PRGF-Endoret were obtained according to the protocol developed by BTI (Biotechnology Institute - Vitoria, Spain). In 14 cases out of 18 implant fixtures were concurrently inserted while in 4 cases the fixture insertion was postponed after 6 months: 37 fixtures were inserted (27 at the same time and 10 after 6 months). 2 months after surgery the CBCT showed a correct pneumatization of the maxillary sinus in 16 patients out of 18 (89% of cases), while after 12 months the radiological normalization of the maxillary sinus was present in 17 patients out of 18, bringing the healing rate to 94% of cases. Regarding implant healing, 2 out of 37 implants inserted were lost in the first month after the surgical phase, whereas 12 months after prosthesis application the other 35 implants were perfectly osteointegrated with a healing rate equal to 94.6% of the fixtures. 36 months after the surgery all the fixtures were osteointegrated (35 of 37 implants with a percentage of 94.6% of success). We may conclude that the use of PRGF allowed to complete the sinus lift even in case of severe perforation of the sinus mucosa or its total removal thanks to its capability to stabilize the graft, its antibacterial and antifungal activity and its anabolic effect and favouring bone regeneration.

Abstract
The tensional and mechanical behavior of regenerative components, grafts, and blood clots represent an essential condition for the success of bone regeneration protocols. Autologous platelet growth factors represent a useful protocol to enhance the soft and hard tissue healing in several fields of medicine and craniofacial surgery. Different protocols for blood concentrates with and without activation have been proposed in literature. The aim of the present study was to investigate in vitro the mechanical properties of autologous platelet gel (APG) with autologous thrombin and calcium chloride. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 APG samples were evaluated; 10 samples were activated by autologous thrombin and calcium chloride (Group I) and 10 samples were non-activated (Group II). The tensile strength and modulus of elasticity were calculated through a static loading test (Lloyd 30 K, Lloyd Instruments Ltd., Segensworth, UK). Results: Group I (activated) reported a tensile strength of 373.5 ± 14.3 MPa, while Group II showed a significantly lower value of 360.5 ± 16.3 MPa (p < 0.05). The Young’s modulus was 145.3 ± 10.4 MPa for Group I and 140.3 ± 15.3 MPa for Group II (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The effectiveness of the present in vitro simulation showed that the APG activation protocol is able to increase the mechanical characteristics of the blood derivates and could be clinically useful to enhance regenerative procedures.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) can occur during blood donation or PC processing, necessitating routine screening to identify contaminated products in efforts to prevent adverse transfusion reactions in recipient patients. Serratia marcescens is a common bacterial contaminant, and its resilient nature coupled with genetic promiscuity imbue this environmental bacterium with resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics enhancing bacterial virulence. In this study, we aim to understand adaptive survival mechanisms through genetic characterization of two S. marcescens strains, CBS11 and CBS12, isolated from PCs by Canadian Blood Services. Genomic analyses of the two strains indicated that CBS11 has one chromosome and one plasmid (pAM01), whereas CBS12 has no plasmids. Phylogenetic analyses show that CBS11 and CBS12 are non-clonal strains, with CBS11 clustering closely with clinical strain CAV1492 and less so with environmental strain PWN146, and CBS12 clustering with a clinical strain AR_0027. Interestingly, pAM01 was most closely related to PWN146p1, a plasmid found in S. marcescens PWN146 strain associated with pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Lastly, the genomic diversity of CBS11 and CBS12 was not reflected in the antibiotic resistance profiles as they were remarkably similar to one another, but was reflected in the virulence phenotypes assessed in the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode infection model, with CBS11 being more virulent then CBS12. Taken together, we suggest that S. marcescens environmental isolates that feature evolutionary diverse genomics are better equipped to adapt and thrive in varied environments, such as that of PCs, and therefore is as much of a concern as multi-drug resistance for human infection potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Platelet concentrates suspended in a platelet additive solution (PAS-PC) are associated with a reduction in allergic response and are suitable for preparing pathogen-inactivated PC. We aimed to develop an efficient platform for the dual preparation of PAS-PC and platelet-poor plasma. MATERIALS AND METHODS PAS-PC was prepared in six steps by using a hollow-fibre system based on cross-flow filtration: priming, loading PC, loading PAS, collection of filtered liquid (flow-through) and collection of platelets by washing with PAS followed by washing with air. In this study, the efficacy of platelet and plasma protein recovery and characteristics of recovered PAS-PC and flow-through plasma were analysed in detail. RESULTS Recoveries of platelet in PAS-PC and plasma protein in the flow-through were 95.4% ± 3.7% and 61.6% ± 5.0%, respectively. The residual plasma protein in PAS-PC was 34.1% ± 2.8%. Although the expression level of CD62P, a platelet activation marker, in recovered platelets was approximately 1.2-fold of that in original platelets, swirling patterns were well retained, and aggregation in PAS-PC was not visible. Agonist-induced aggregabilities, platelet morphology and hypotonic shock recovery were conserved. The patterns of plasma protein and lipoprotein in the flow-through were comparable with those in the original PCs. The multimeric pattern analysis of VWF remained unaltered. CONCLUSION We propose a highly efficient preparation system that enables the simultaneous production of PAS-PC and platelet-poor plasma. It also achieves a high recovery of functionally well-retained platelets with very low activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus epidermidis forms surface-attached aggregates (biofilms) when grown in platelet concentrates (PCs). Comparative transcriptome analyses were undertaken to investigate differential gene expression of S. epidermidis biofilms grown in PCs. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Two S. epidermidis strains isolated from human skin (AZ22 and AZ39) and one strain isolated from contaminated PCs (ST02) were grown in glucose-supplemented Trypticase Soy Broth (TSBg) and PCs. RNA was extracted and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq. Differential expression analysis was done using DESeq, and significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected. DEGs were subjected to Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes and Gene Ontology analyses. Differential gene expression was validated with quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. RESULTS A total of 436, 442, and 384 genes were expressed in AZ22, AZ39, and ST02, respectively. DEG analysis showed that 170, 172, and 117 genes were upregulated in PCs in comparison to TSBg, whereas 120, 135, and 89 genes were downregulated (p < .05) in mature biofilms of AZ22, AZ39, and ST02, respectively. Twenty-seven DEGs were shared by all three strains. While 76 DEGs were shared by AZ22 and AZ39, only 34 and 21 DEGs were common between ST02, and AZ22 and AZ39, respectively. Significant transcriptional expression changes were observed in genes involved in platelet-bacteria interaction, biofilm formation, production of virulence factors, and resistance to antimicrobial peptides and antibiotics. CONCLUSION Differential gene expression in S. epidermidis is triggered by the stressful PC storage environment. Upregulation of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes could have clinical implications for transfusion patients.

Abstract
Numerous cell-based therapeutics are currently being tested in clinical trials. Human platelet lysate (HPL) is a valuable alternative to fetal bovine serum as a cell culture medium supplement for a variety of different cell types. HPL as a raw material permits animal serum-free cell propagation with highly efficient stimulation of cell proliferation, enabling humanized manufacturing of cell therapeutics within a reasonable timeframe. Providers of HPL have to consider dedicated quality issues regarding identity, purity, potency, traceability and safety. Release criteria have to be defined, characterizing the suitability of HPL batches for the support of a specific cell culture. Fresh or expired platelet concentrates from healthy blood donors are the starting material for HPL preparation, according to regulatory requirements. Pooling of individual platelet lysate units into one HPL batch can balance donor variation with regard to essential platelet-derived growth factors and cytokines. The increasingly applied pathogen reduction technologies will further increase HPL safety. In this review article, aspects and regulatory requirements of whole blood donation and details of human platelet lysate manufacturing are presented. International guidelines for raw materials are discussed, and defined quality controls, as well as release criteria for safe and GMP-compliant HPL production, are summarized.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the use of platelet-rich fibrin for alveolar ridge preservation compared to natural healing, bone graft material and platelet-rich fibrin in combination with bone graft material. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present systematic review was conducted and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. The review examined randomised controlled trials comparing the clinical outcomes of platelet-rich fibrin with those of other modalities for alveolar ridge preservation. Studies of third molar extraction site healing were excluded. The studies were classified into three categories: natural wound healing vs platelet-rich fibrin; bone graft material vs platelet-rich fibrin; and bone graft material vs bone graft material and platelet-rich fibrin. RESULTS From 179 articles identified, 16 randomised controlled trials were included. Owing to the heterogeneity of the investigated parameters, it was not possible to perform a meta-analysis. In total, 10 randomised controlled trials compared platelet-rich fibrin to natural wound healing, with seven of these demonstrating favourable outcomes to either limit postextraction dimensional changes or improve new bone formation in the platelet-rich fibrin group. Three of four studies comparing healing with bone graft material to platelet-rich fibrin found that the latter led to significantly greater horizontal or vertical bone resorption, and the bone graft material was more able to maintain the ridge dimensions. Two out of three randomised controlled trials investigating healing with both bone graft material and platelet-rich fibrin reported better outcomes using this combined approach than with bone graft material alone. All studies investigating soft tissue healing with platelet-rich fibrin demonstrated better outcomes in the platelet-rich fibrin group. CONCLUSIONS The majority of studies comparing healing with platelet-rich fibrin to natural healing concluded that the former more successfully limits postextraction dimensional changes than the latter. However, 75% of studies investigating platelet-rich fibrin vs bone graft material reported better results in the bone graft group with respect to its ability to maintain postextraction dimensional changes. The addition of platelet-rich fibrin to bone graft material may improve clinical outcomes, although data are limited.

Abstract
Numerous studies have explored the suitability of biocompatible materials in regenerative medicine. Platelet concentrates are derived from centrifuged blood and are named according to their biological characteristics, such as platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin and concentrated growth factor. Platelet concentrates have gained considerable attention in soft and hard tissue engineering. Indeed, multiple components of autologous platelet concentrates, such as growth factors, fibrin matrix and platelets, serve essential roles in wound healing. Current studies are focused on cutting-edge strategies to meet the requirements for tissue restoration by improving the properties of autologous platelet concentrates. In the present review, applications of platelet concentrates for tissue engineering are discussed, presenting a selection of recent advances and novel protocols. In addition, several aspects of these strategies, such as the advantages of lyophilized platelet concentrates and the combination of platelet concentrates with biomaterials, stem cells or drugs are discussed. The present review aims to summarize novel strategies using platelet concentrates to improve the outcomes of wound healing.

Abstract
Introduction Platelet-rich plasma is widely used for different types of clinical situations, but universal standardization of procedures for its preparation is still lacking. Methods Scoping review of comparative studies that have assessed at least two alternatives in one or more stages of preparation, storage and/or administration of PRP or its related products. A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, and LILACS. Two authors screened references independently. Data extraction was performed iteratively, and results were presented for each included comparison. Results Thirty-nine studies were included after assessing full texts, focusing on the comparison of PRP to a related product, types of anticoagulants, centrifugation protocols, commercial kits, processing time, methods for activation, and application concomitantly to other substances. Only laboratory outcomes were assessed, as platelet, leukocyte and growth factor concentrations. Conclusion Results showed great variability related to methods employed in different stages of PRP processing, which may explain the variability observed in clinical trials assessing the efficacy of PRP for different clinical situations.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently introduced in veterinary medicine as a potential therapeutic tool for several pathologies. The large-scale in vitro expansion needed to ensure the preparation of a suitable number of MSCs for clinical application usually requires the use of xenogeneic supplements like the fetal bovine serum (FBS). The substitution of FBS with species-specific supplements would improve the safety of implanted cells, reducing the risk of undesired immune responses following cell therapy. We have evaluated the effectiveness of canine adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and MSCs (ADMSCs) expansion in the presence of canine blood-derived supplements. Cells were cultured on traditional plastic surface and inside a 3D environment derived from the jellification of different blood-derived products, i.e., platelet-poor plasma (PPP), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or platelet lysate (PL). PPP, PRP, and PL can contribute to canine ADMSCs in vitro expansion. Both allogeneic and autologous PPP and PL can replace FBS for ADMSCs culture on a plastic surface, exhibiting either a similar (PPP) or a more effective (PL) stimulus to cell replication. Furthermore, the 3D environment based on homospecific blood-derived products polymerization provides a strong stimulus to ADMSCs replication, producing a higher number of cells in comparison to the plastic surface environment. Allogeneic or autologous blood products behave similarly. The work suggests that canine ADMSCs can be expanded in the absence of xenogeneic supplements, thus increasing the safety of cellular preparations. Furthermore, the 3D fibrin-based matrices could represent a simple, readily available environments for effective in vitro expansion of ADMSCs using allogeneic or autologous blood-products.

Abstract
Bone augmentation techniques have increasingly been indicated for re-creating adequate bone height and volume suitable for dental implant sites. This is particularly applicable in the severely atrophic posterior maxilla where sinus perforation (ruptured Schneiderian membrane) is a very common complication and sinus floor elevation or lift is frequently considered a standard procedure. The augmentation of the maxillary sinus can be performed with or without grafting biomaterials. Herein, numerous biomaterials and bone substitutes have been proposed, primarily to sustain the lifted space. In addition, cytokines and growth factors have been used to stimulate angiogenesis, enhance bone formation as well as improve healing and recovery period, either as the sole filling material or in combination with bone substitute materials. Within such, is the family of autologous blood extracts, so-called platelet concentrates, which are simply the "product" resulting from the simple centrifugation of collected whole blood samples of the patient, immediately pre-surgery. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a sub-family of platelet concentrates, is a three-dimensional (3-D) autogenous biomaterial obtained, without including anti-coagulants, bovine thrombin, additives, or any gelifying agents during the centrifugation process. Today, it is safe to say that, in implant dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery, PRFs (particularly, the pure platelet-rich fibrin or P-PRF and leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin or L-PRF sub-classes) are receiving the most attention, essentially due to their simplicity, rapidness, user-friendliness/malleability, and cost-effectiveness. Whether used as the sole "bioactive" filling/additive material or combined with bone substitutes, the revolutionary second-generation PRFs have been very often associated with promising clinical results. Hence, this review aims to provide a 10-years update on the clinical effectiveness of L-PRF when applied/used as the "sole" biomaterial in maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. An electronic search using specific keywords for L-PRF and maxillary sinus augmentation was conducted in three main databases (PubMed-MEDLINE database, Google Scholar and Cochrane library) for the period between January 2009-February 2020. The quest yielded a total of 468 articles. Based on the pre-established strict inclusion/exclusion criteria, only seven articles were deemed eligible and included in the analysis. Surprisingly, of the 5 studies which used de-proteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in combination with L-PRF, 60% acclaimed no significant effects and only 40% declared positive effects. Of the two articles which had used allogenous bone graft, 50% declared no significant effects and 50% acclaimed positive effects. Only one study had used L-PRF as the sole grafting material and reported a positive effect. Likewise, positive effects were reported in one other study using L-PRF in combination with a collagen membrane. Due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, this review is limited by the inability to perform a proper systematic meta-analysis. Overall, most of the published studies reported impressive results of L-PRF application as a grafting material (sole or adjuvant) in maxillary sinus augmentation and dental implant restorative procedures. Yet, distinct technical processing for L-PRF preparation was noted. Hence, studies should be approached with caution. Here in, in sinus lift and treatment of Schneider membrane, the formation of mature bone remains inconclusive. More studies are eagerly awaited in order to prove the beneficial or detrimental effects of PRFs, in general and L-PRFs, in specific; especially in their tissue regenerative potential pertaining to the promotion of angiogenesis, enhancing of cell proliferation, stimulation of cell migration and autocrine/paracrine secretion of growth factors, as well as to reach a consensus or a conclusive and distinct determination of the effect of leukocytes (and their inclusion) on inflammation or edema and pain; a call for standardization in PRFs and L-PRFs composition reporting and regimenting the preparation protocols.

Abstract
Background: The autologous platelet concentrates (PCs), such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM), are processed through different centrifugation protocols, which can affect their biological properties and in turn influence treatment outcome. The pH value can influence the process of wound healing directly or indirectly. Hence, a study was conducted to evaluate fibrin network pattern, initial pH of obtained matrix, and its changes during degradation matrix and to determine platelet and leukocyte count in PRF and PRFM. Materials and Methods: Blood from the volunteers was collected in blood vacutainers for processing PRF and PRFM. It was centrifuged as per the standard protocol. Serum from PRF and PRFM was subjected for analysis of platelet and leucocyte concentration using Hemo-Analyzer. The pH of PRF and PRFM were evaluated over 5 days using a pH meter. PRF and PRFM were subjected to histological and scanning electron microscopic analysis. Results: There was no significant variation in the platelet and leukocyte count between PRF and PRFM. A steady rise in the level of pH with respect to PRFM was observed, whereas there was a decrease in the pH levels in PRF. Fibrin network was denser in PRF compared to PRFM. Conclusion: The PCs undergo variation in pH upon degradation. Formation of fibrin matrix is influenced by the method of preparation. Fibrin pattern is crucial to facilitate adhesion of cells and transport of nutrients to enable proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal cells and better wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The antioxidant power measurement can be useful to validate the execution of the pathogen inactivation treatment of platelet concentrates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the technology on different blood preparations including INTERCEPT and Mirasol treatments that are in routine use in Belgium and Luxemburg. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antioxidant power measurement was tested on 78 apheresis platelet concentrates and 54 pools of buffy-coats-derived platelet concentrates before and after INTERCEPT treatment. In addition, 100 Reveos platelet pools were tested before and after Mirasol treatment. The antioxidant power was quantified electrochemically using disposable devices and was expressed as equivalent ascorbic acid concentration. RESULTS Mean results for apheresis platelet concentrates were of 90 ± 14 and 35 ± 10 µmol/l eq. ascorbic acid before and after INTERCEPT treatment, respectively. The mean results for pools of buffy-coats-derived platelet concentrates were of 81 ± 10 and 29 ± 4 eq. µmol/l ascorbic acid before and after INTERCEPT treatment, respectively. For buffy-coats-derived platelet concentrates treated by Mirasol technology, the mean results were of 98 ± 11 and 32 ± 10 µmol/l eq. ascorbic acid before and after illumination, respectively. CONCLUSION The antioxidant power significantly decreases with pathogen inactivation treatments for platelet concentrates treated by INTERCEPT or Mirasol technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Practices in end-of-life platelet transfusions in haematologic malignancies are variable. Our aim was to describe the platelet transfusion burden and parameters linked to this indication in such a setting and thereby contribute to defining optimal practices. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2015 to December 2016, all consecutive deceased adult patients with a haematologic malignancy receiving a platelet transfusion in the last 6 months of their life from the Etablissement Français du Sang Bourgogne Franche-Comté were included retrospectively. The outcome criteria were changes in the number of platelet transfusions, percent platelet recovery, platelet transfusion interval, reported bleeding with its grade and recipient adverse events in the last 6 months of life. RESULTS Among the 1125 patients monitored, 119 were included in our study. Bleeding prophylaxis (versus treatment) was the reason for 55% of transfusions. 18% of platelet concentrates (n = 1999) were transfused during the last two weeks of life. As death approached, the transfusion and haemorrhage burden increased (P < 0·0001 in both cases), whereas platelet recovery and transfusion interval decreased (P = 0·02 in both cases). Recipient adverse events were rare (0·6%) and of minor severity. CONCLUSION In end-of-life transfused patients with haematologic malignancies, approaching death is associated with an increased number of platelet transfusions and bleeding events, while platelet recovery and transfusion intervals are reduced. Such findings, together with further evaluations, may contribute to informing best practices for these patients.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of research on platelet concentrates (PCs) is to develop a more predictable PC therapy. Because platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a representative PC, was identified as a possible therapeutic agent for bone augmentation in the field of oral surgery, PRP and its derivative, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), have been increasingly applied in a regenerative medicine. However, a rise in the rate of recurrence (e.g., in tendon and ligament injuries) and adverse (or nonsignificant) clinical outcomes associated with PC therapy have raised fundamental questions regarding the validity of the therapy. Thus, rigorous evidence obtained from large, high-quality randomized controlled trials must be presented to the concerned regulatory authorities of individual countries or regions. For the approval of the regulatory authorities, clinicians and research investigators should understand the real nature of PCs and PC therapy (i.e., adjuvant therapy), standardize protocols of preparation (e.g., choice of centrifuges and tubes) and clinical application (e.g., evaluation of recipient conditions), design bias-minimized randomized clinical trials, and recognize superfluous brand competitions that delay sound progress. In this review, we retrospect the recent past of PC research, reconfirm our ultimate goals, and discuss what will need to be done in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES As previous investigations have shown, THERAFLEX UV-Platelets, a UVC-based pathogen inactivation (PI) system, is effective against non-enveloped transfusion-relevant viruses such as hepatitis A virus (HAV), which are insensitive to most PI treatments for blood products. This study investigated the PI efficacy of THERAFLEX UV-Platelets against HEV in platelet concentrates (PCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Buffy coat-derived PCs in additive solution were spiked with cell culture-derived HEV and treated with the THERAFLEX UV-Platelets system using various doses of UVC (0·05, 0·10, 0·15 and 0·20 (standard) J/cm2 ). Titres of infectious virus in pre- and post-treatment samples were determined using a large-volume plating assay to improve the detection limit of the virus assay. RESULTS THERAFLEX UV-Platelets dose-dependently inactivated HEV in PCs. The standard UVC dose inactivated the virus to below the limit of detection, corresponding to a mean log reduction of greater than 3·5. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that the THERAFLEX UV-Platelets system effectively inactivates HEV in PCs.

Abstract
The management of gingival recession associated with esthetic concerns and root hypersensitivity is challenging and its sequelae are based on the assessment of etiological factors and the degree of tissue involvement. Procedures using pedicle flaps, free soft-tissue grafts, combination of pedicle flaps with grafts, barrier membranes, and the use of platelet concentrates are all effective for this purpose. The use of the second-generation platelet concentrate, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has been widely used. Lately, concentrated growth factor (CGF) has evolved as a promising regenerative material, wherein it also acts as a scaffold and accelerates wound healing due to its dense fibrin meshwork. A 21-year-old male patient presented with bilateral multiple gingival recessions due to faulty tooth brushing. Coronally advanced flap with Zuchelli's technique was planned as a treatment modality. Platelet concentrates PRF and CGF were placed bilaterally during the procedure, and the outcome of the treatment was compared. The percentage of root coverage was clinically evaluated, and histological evaluation was also done to assess the density of fibrin meshwork in the platelet concentrates. Nearly 100% of root coverage was achieved with both PRF and CGF membrane 3 months postoperatively. However, CGF showed satisfactory wound healing by the 10th-day postoperatively compared to PRF. As CGF operates on varying centrifugation to separate cells in the venous blood, thereby resulting in fibrin-rich blocks that are much larger, denser, and richer in growth factors as also shown histologically.

Abstract
Background Emerging viruses like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS‐CoV), Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and Nipah virus (NiV) have been identified to pose a potential threat to transfusion safety. In this study, the ability of the THERAFLEX UV‐Platelets and THERAFLEX MB‐Plasma pathogen inactivation systems to inactivate these viruses in platelet concentrates and plasma, respectively, was investigated. Materials and methods Blood products were spiked with SARS‐CoV, CCHFV or NiV, and then treated with increasing doses of UVC light (THERAFLEX UV‐Platelets) or with methylene blue (MB) plus increasing doses of visible light (MB/light; THERAFLEX MB‐Plasma). Samples were taken before and after treatment with each illumination dose and tested for residual infectivity. Results Treatment with half to three‐fourths of the full UVC dose (0·2 J/cm2) reduced the infectivity of SARS‐CoV (≥3·4 log), CCHFV (≥2·2 log) and NiV (≥4·3 log) to the limit of detection (LOD) in platelet concentrates, and treatment with MB and a fourth of the full light dose (120 J/cm2) decreased that of SARS‐CoV (≥3·1 log), CCHFV (≥3·2 log) and NiV (≥2·7 log) to the LOD in plasma. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that both THERAFLEX UV‐Platelets (UVC) and THERAFLEX MB‐Plasma (MB/light) effectively reduce the infectivity of SARS‐CoV, CCHFV and NiV in platelet concentrates and plasma, respectively.

Abstract
Platelet concentrates (PCs) are biological autologous products derived from the patient's whole blood and consist mainly of supraphysiologic concentration of platelets and growth factors (GFs). These GFs have anti-inflammatory and healing enhancing properties. Overall, PCs seem to enhance bone and soft tissue healing in alveolar ridge augmentation, periodontal surgery, socket preservation, implant surgery, endodontic regeneration, sinus augmentation, bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), osteoradionecrosis, closure of oroantral communication (OAC), and oral ulcers. On the other hand, no effect was reported for gingival recession and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures. Also, PCs could reduce pain and inflammatory complications in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), oral ulcers, and extraction sockets. However, these effects have been clinically inconsistent across the literature. Differences in study designs and types of PCs used with variable concentration of platelets, GFs, and leucocytes, as well as different application forms and techniques could explain these contradictory results. This study aims to review the clinical applications of PCs in oral and craniofacial tissue regeneration and the role of their molecular components in tissue healing.
