Autologous Preparation Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF), a small volume of plasma enriched in platelets, is a novel therapeutic strategy for the acceleration of the wound healing of a wide range of tissues because of the continuous release of multiple growth factors, including PDGF-AB, TGF-beta1, IGF-I, HGF, VEGF-A, and EGF. In this article, we have characterized the PRGF preparation and designed a randomized open-label controlled pilot trial to evaluate the effectiveness of PRGF in the treatment of chronic cutaneous ulcers. Results showed that at 8 weeks, the mean percentage of surface healed in the PRGF group was 72.94% +/- 22.25% whereas it was 21.48% +/- 33.56% in the control group (p < 0.05). These results, with the limitations of a pilot study, suggest that topical application of PRGF is more effective than standard therapy in helping a chronic ulcer to heal.
富血小板自体生长因子制剂(PRGF)是一种富含血小板的少量血浆,由于其能持续释放多种生长因子,包括血小板源性生长因子AB(PDGF-AB)、转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)、胰岛素样生长因子I(IGF-I)、肝细胞生长因子(HGF)、血管内皮生长因子A(VEGF-A)和表皮生长因子(EGF),因此是加速多种组织伤口愈合的一种新型治疗策略。在本文中,我们对PRGF制剂进行了特性分析,并设计了一项随机开放标签对照试验,以评估PRGF治疗慢性皮肤溃疡的有效性。结果显示,在8周时,PRGF组的平均愈合面积百分比为72.94%±22.25%,而对照组为21.48%±33.56%(p<0.05)。这些结果,结合初步研究的局限性,表明局部应用PRGF在促进慢性溃疡愈合方面比标准治疗更有效。
