PRP APPLICATION ON MID DERMAL BURN WOUND HEALING IN WISTAR RATS
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
Background : PRP application was reported to help wound healing process in considerable amount of surgeries. This birthed the idea to apply PRP to burn wounds. PRP application helps wound healing by accelerating reepithelialization in wound area. Materials and Methods : A total of 40 Wistar rats that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were assigned to 2 random groups. Group 1 (platelet-rich plasma group) was exposed to burn injury and topical platelet-rich plasma was applied. Group 2 (control group) was exposed to burn injury and normal saline. Wound was measured macroscopically and compared on day 0, 3, 7 and 14. Results : Forty Wistar albino rats were divided into 2 groups of 20 rats each. Group 1 (platelet-rich plasma group) was exposed to burn injury and topical platelet-rich plasma was applied. Group 2 (control group) was exposed to burn injury only. A group of 20 Wistar rats were used as blood donors for platelet-rich plasma. The wound was measured on day 0, group 1 had an average burn area of 5 01,856 ± 33,793 and group 2 had an average burn area of 4 82,532 ± 35,242 (p = 0.085). On day 3, group 1 had an average burn area of 4 36,594 ± 41,124 and group 2 had an average burn area of 4 82.908 ± 41,410 (p = 0.001). On day 7, group 1 had an average burn area of 4 09,549 ± 75,140 and group 2 had an average burn area of 4 68,676 ± 38,610 (p <0.001). On day 14, group 1 had an average burn area of 3 04,498 ± 62,715 compared to group 2 with an average burn rate of 433,910 ± 41,583. (p <0.001) Conclusion : PRP improves wound healing time when measured macroscopically on multiple days compared to the controlled group. A further study on the histological aspect is needed to further understand the mechanism of the wound healing assisted by PRP.
