: To assess the effectiveness of Platelet Concentrates (PCs) in the contest of Hemorrhagic, Actinic, and Radiation Cystitis, plus Urethral Obstruction or Stenosis. : Open article in English or Italian regarding in situ applications of PCs for the selected pathologies. : MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and ELSEVIER. : High (and discussed). : Selection of relevant contents, resumed by digital tools, checked by authors and used throughout the manuscript. : 13 screened articles + 7 personal sources + 37 "extra" articles. : Pre-clinical and clinical studies demonstrated substantial symptom relief, mucosal restoration, and improved growth factor levels, reducing recurrence rates and complications. However, preparation protocols and results varied among studies. : Frequent low-quality studies with mall sample size, plus heterogeneous experimental setups and nomenclature/preparations. : PCs demonstrate promise due to their bioactive components, enhancing tissue repair and reducing inflammation with no significant adverse events. Despite positive outcomes in pre-clinical and clinical studies, variability in preparation protocols and small sample sizes, together with inconsistent results, highlight the need for high-quality research to validate PCs' clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
: 评估血小板浓缩物(PCs)在治疗出血性、光化性和放射性膀胱炎以及尿道梗阻或狭窄中的疗效。: 检索英文或意大利文关于 PCs 在选定疾病中的局部应用的文章。: MEDLINE、Cochrane 图书馆和 ELSEVIER。: 高(并进行了讨论)。: 选择相关内容,使用数字工具进行总结,由作者进行核对,并在整个手稿中使用。: 筛选出 13 篇文章+7 篇个人来源+37 篇“额外”文章。: 临床前和临床研究表明,PCs 可显著缓解症状、修复黏膜,并提高生长因子水平,降低复发率和并发症。然而,研究之间的制备方案和结果存在差异。: 研究数量少,且质量低,加上实验设置和命名/制剂的异质性。: PCs 具有生物活性成分,有望增强组织修复和减轻炎症,且无明显不良事件。尽管临床前和临床研究结果积极,但制备方案的变异性和样本量小,以及结果不一致,强调需要高质量的研究来验证 PCs 的临床疗效和成本效益。
