Biological and Cellular Properties of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) Compared to Other Platelet Concentrates: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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.

Evolution of Hematological Parameters in Patients Undergoing Orthognathic Surgery With a View to Hospital Discharge: A Prospective Study.

BACKGROUND: The length of hospital stays of patients undergoing orthognathic surgery depends on related local and systemic factors. Hematological changes resulting from orthognathic surgery, followed up in the postoperative period until hospital discharge, have neither yet been established for specific cases, nor for normal situations. This study aimed to describe the hemodynamic parameters of patients undergoing orthognathic surgery, considering a prediction of hospital discharge. A prospective analytical study was carried out on a sample of convenience for this purpose. METHODS: The erythrogram, leukogram, and platelet count were assessed 24 and 72 hours after surgery and compared with preoperative values. Intraoperative volume loss was also assessed. Inferential statistical analyses were performed as analysis of variance or Friedman test, paired Wilcoxon test, Mann-Whitney test, and 2-tailed Spearman correlation. RESULTS: The red blood cell count (mean ±â€Šstandard deviation [median]); (4.60 ±â€Š0.24 [4.56]), hemoglobin (12.82 ±â€Š1.03 [12.75]), hematocrit (39.51 ±â€Š3.47 [39.60]), and red cell distribution with (32.60 ±â€Š0.88 [33.05]) were higher preoperatively (P < 0.001). Mean corpuscular volume (83.87 ±â€Š5.63 [83.10]), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (27.50 ±â€Š1.47 [28.00]), leukocytes (6262.00 ±â€Š1448.36 [6380.00]). The volume loss varied between 463.87 and 752.13 mL (608.00 ±â€Š144.13 [630.00]). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the hematological evaluations corroborate the expectation of standard discharge from the hospital, with reflected changes resulting from volume loss and intense postoperative inflammatory response, even under the anti-inflammatory pharmacological effect.
