Objective: As clinicians and patients await consensus on intraovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, this project evaluated contemporary research trends in the literature. Methods: A PubMed/NLM search aggregated all ovarian PRP-related publications (n=54) to evaluate their scope, abstract utility, submission-to-publication interval, journal selected, article processing charge (APC), free reader access to full-text manuscripts, number and nationality of authors, and inclusion of international collaborators. The NIH Clinical Trials database was also audited. Results: Published output on intraovarian PRP has increased consistently since 2016, especially among investigators in Greece, Iran, USA, and Turkey. Between 2013 and 2021, 42 articles met the relevancy criteria, of which 40.5% reported clinical studies, small series, or case reports, 33% described experimental animal models, and 23.8% were opinion/review papers. Only two works included a placebo control group. The submission-to-publication interval (mean±standard deviation) was 130±96 days, there were 5.9±3.2 authors per project, and journals invoiced US $1,613±1,466 (range, $0-$3,860) for APCs. Conclusion: There was no correlation between APC and time to publish (Pearson's r=-0.01). Abstract content was inconsistent; sample size and patient age were often missing, yet free full-text "open access" was available for most publications (59.5%). The NIH Clinical Trials portal lists eight registered studies on "ovarian rejuvenation," of which two are actively recruiting patients, while four have been terminated or have an uncertain status. Two studies have concluded, with results from one posted to the NIH website. PRP and its derivatives for ovarian treatment show early promise, but require further investigation. Research is accelerating and should be encouraged, particularly placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials.

Several agents are in use to promote new bone formation during bone graft procedures in maxillofacial region. Among them, we have used crude BMP, PRP, and P-15 for experimentally created defects with accompanying graft materials in the rabbit model. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of above mentioned agents on bone formation using histologic and histomorphometrical methods, thus to provide experimental support for clinical application of these agents. Six rabbits were used as experimental animals. Four surgical defects were created on the distal femoral heads of each animal using trephine drill. The defects were filled with each agents with accompaning graft materials as experimental groups and particulate corti-co-cancellous autogenous graft as control. For histomorphometric analysis, fluorescent dye was injected at 2week and 1week before sacrifice. Then, the animals were sacrificed at 2, 4 and 8weeks after surgery and histologic and histomorphometric examinations were achieved. At two weeks after bone graft, bone formation and active remodeling process were examined in all experimental groups and the control. But the intensity of such activities of the experiments were somewhat weaker than that of the control. In BMP group, the amount of newly formed osteoid was increased constantly and the amount was preserved constantly in PRP group. But in P-15 group, the amount of newly formed osteoid was decreased with time to 8week after surgery. Histologic findings showed superior bony quantity and quality in PRP group than that of P-15 group. MAR(Mineralization Apposition Rate) of all experimental groups were slower than that of control group. In P-15 group, constant foreign body reaction was observed at all periods and the graft material showed inwardly destroyed characteristics rather to mature. The data from this study provide the basis for future studies for evaluating the long-term remodeling process and foreign body reactions observed in P-15 group and clinical study for predictable use of these agents.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of platelet rich plasma in bone formation and osseointegration of implant installed in the bone marrow space. Materials and Methods: Five beagle dogs were used as experimental animals. Two implants were installed on each tibia in the dogs. Implants of the control group were installed with no additional graft. Those of the experimental group 1 were installed with autogenous bone graft from the ilium autogenous bone. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) alone was used in experimental group 2 and the mixture of PRP and autogenous bone was used in experimental group 3. The animals were sacrificed at 8 weeks after implantation. The parts of tibia containing implant were harvested and radiographs were taken for radiographic examination. The specimens were prepared for histological examination and histomorphometric analysis of implant-bone contact ratios. Results: 1. All implants showed sufficient osseointegration in the cortical bone radiographically and histologically, but osseointergration in the marrow space was not satisfactory. 2. Histomorphometrically, the implant-bone contact ratios in the bone marrow was sequentially high in the experimental group 3 (autogenous bone + PRP group), group 1 (autogenous bone group), group 2 (PRP group), and control group (non-additive). 3. It was verified that there was statistical significance between two experimental groups (group 1 and 3) and the other groups (group 2 and control group). (P<0.005) 4. However, there was no statistical significance between group 3 and group 1, also group 2 and control group respectively. Conclusion: These results suggest that platelet rich plasma is effective to osseointegration in the implant installation but there is no statistical significance.

An efficacy test of PRP (polyribosylribitol phosphate)-TT (Tetanus toxoid) conjugate vaccines was carried out using BALB/c mice as an animal model by inoculating Haemophilus in­fluenzae type b (Hib) with a virulence enhancement factor (VEF). Three administrations of the conjugate vaccines at 2-week intervals elicited a significantly high level of PRP antibodies (P>0.0001). The protective activity of the PRP immunization was challenged with either Hib with iron dextran (Hib/) or with a combination of mucin and hemoglobin (Hibmh) as a VEF. The me­dium lethal dose $(LD_{50})$ for Hibmh and Hibiwas measured as 10 CFU (Colony Forming Unit) and $2.5{\times}10^{8}$ CFU respectively. Each immunized animal was challenged with five or ten times the $LD_{50}$ level of bacteria with a VEF. A significant difference in mortality between the immunized and control mice (P> 0.01) was observed with the Hibmh challenge inoculation but not with the Hibi challenge inoculation. These results show that a combination of mucin and hemoglobin was able to enhance the virulence of Hib in BALB/c mice to cause a lethal infection, thus suggesting that BALB/c mice introduced to this method can be an effective model animal for testing the protective efficacy of H. influenzae conjugate vaccines.

목적: 1995년 한국에서 b형 헤모필루스 인플루엔자(Haemophilus influenzae type b [Hib]) 백신이 도입된 이후, 2013년 국가예방접종에 포함되었다. Hib 백신 도입 시기 이후 다른 나라의 일부 연구에 따르면, 침습적 Hib 질환은 소아보다 성인, 특히 노인 및 면역 저하 환자에서 더 자주 발생한다고 보고하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 20-85세의 한국 성인에서 항-polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) 항체의 양적 및 질적 측정을 통하여 질병 감수성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 혈청은 39명의 건강한 성인(20-50세)과 면역 저하 상태가 아닌 30명의 노인(75-85세)에서 수집하였다. 모든 피험자는 7일 이내에 항생제를 복용하지 않았다. 항-PRP 면역글로불린 G (immunoglobulin G [IgG]) 항체가 및 혈청 살상능 역가(serum bactericidal index [SBI])는 효소결합면역흡착측정법과 혈청 살상능 평가분석을 통해 측정하였다. 결과: 항-PRP IgG 항체가의 기하평균 및 SBI의 기하평균은 성인군에서 각각 $0.88{\mu}g/mL$ (95% 신뢰 구간, 0.17-3.85) 및 354 (95% 신뢰구간, 50-2,499)이었고, 노인군에서는 각각 $1.67{\mu}g/mL$ (95% 신뢰구간, 0.53-5.24) 및 449 (95% 신뢰구간, 146-1,376)이었다. 소아에서 Hib 감염에 대한 방어 농도로 인정하고 있는 0.15 및 $1.0{\mu}g/mL$을 적용하였을 때, 항체 양성률은 성인군에서 87.2%, 노인군에서 100%였다. SBI의 양성률($SBI{\geq}4$)은 성인군에서 82.1%, 노인군에서 100%였다. 결론: 대부분의 성인군과 노인군에서 양적으로나 기능적으로 Hib 질환에 대한 방어 면역력을 가지고 있었으나 모두는 아니었다. 높은 면역력과 낮은 Hib 순환율은 인구에서 Hib에 대한 자연면역을 감소시킬 수 있으므로, Hib 면역과 질병에 대한 지속적인 감시가 필요하다.

For reconstruction of the bony defect, distraction osteogenesis has many advantages in comparison with bone graft. However, it needs long consolidation period for sufficient bone maturity. This study is performed to evaluate the effect of PRP injection into the distracted mandible on bone formation in rabbits. Twelve house rabbits, weighing 2 kg, were used. All animals underwent bilateral mandibular osteotomy under general anesthesia. A internal distractor divice was positioned along a plane perpendicular to the line of osteotomy. After 5 days of latency period, distraction osteogenesis was started at a rate of 1 mm/day for 9 days which was distracted 9 mm totally. After completion of distraction, 0.5 ml of PRP which collected in rabbit blood was injected into the distracted mandible on experimental group, whereas no injection was done in control group. Macroscopical, radiographical, and histological, and histomorphometric examinations were performed 2, 4 and 8 weeks after distraction. All animals showed distracted mandible and severe anterior cross-bite. In radiographical findings 2 weeks after distraction, more radiopacity in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control group. At 4 weeks after distraction, distracted bone was similar to normal bone in experimental group. In histological findings, 1) At 2 weeks after distraction, number of osteoblasts and angiogenesis in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control group. 2) At 4 weeks after distraction, more active and distinct bone in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control groups. 3) At 8 weeks after distraction, more dense and matured lamellated bone in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control group. In histomorphometrical findings 8 weeks after distraction, more bone formation was observed in experimental group than control group (p<0.01). These results indicate that administration of PRP into the distracted mandible can promote bone formation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on periodontal healing of replanted root surfaces in dogs histologically and histomorphometrically. Methods: A total of 36 roots of mandibular incisors and premolars from 6 mongrel dogs were used. The roots were randomly divided into 3 groups: 1) a positive control group (n=12), in which the periodontal ligament (PDL) and cementum were retained and the roots were soaked in saline; 2) a negative control group (n=12), in which the PDL and cementum were removed and the roots were soaked in saline; and 3) an experimental group (n=12), in which the PDL and cementum were removed and the roots were soaked in PRP. After soaking the root surfaces, the extracted roots were replanted into the extraction sockets. The roots were covered using a coronally repositioned flap Results: Histologically, irregular-thickness PDL-like and cementum-like tissues were observed in the 4-week experimental group and the positive control group. PDL-like tissue and cementum-like tissue with a more uniform thickness were observed at 8 weeks. In the negative control group, PDL-like tissue and cementum-like tissue were rarely found, and root resorption and ankylosis were observed. In the cross-sectional histomorphometric analysis, the experimental group demonstrated a higher rate of formation of cementum-like tissue and a lower tooth ankylosis rate than the positive and negative control groups at 4 and 8 weeks. Although there was a significant difference in the tooth ankylosis rate and the formation of cementum-like tissue across the 3 groups (P<0.05), no statistical significance was observed between any pair of groups (P>0.017). Conclusions: Applying PRP to root surfaces during tooth replantation in dogs can reduce tooth ankylosis and increase PDL-like and cementum-like tissue formation.
