Q

PDGF: Platelet-Derived Growth Factor - does what??

A

STRONGLY mitogenic and chemotactic for leukocytes
By itself PDGF application doubles the rate of collagen deposition in a wound
(plus a bunch of other stuff that aggressively accelerates healing…)

Q

Cells expressing the CD34

protein are concentrated where?

A

mononuclear layer of platelet concentrate-

These cells are stem cell “markers” and are important for other cells’ adhesion/chemotaxis

20
Q

PRP

A

The components of whole blood remaining after the removal of (most of) the red cells”
The buffy coat (white cells and platelets) extending ??? into the top of the red cell column
PLUS all of the plasma

21
Q

PPP

A

“Plasma layer without the buffy coat”

So…you get lots of fibrinogen & coagulation factors but no cells

22
Q

Platelet concentrate?

A

Essentially the buffy coat +/- a small (variable) amount of plasma
Buffy coat = leukocytes + platelets

Leukocytes = neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, B- and T-lymphocytes

23
Q

PG: Platelet Gel

A

Platelet Concentrate with enough fibrinogen (2-4mg/ml) to “set up” when combined with an activator
“Activator” = Thrombin (bovine or human), Calcium (usually CaCl₂) or Collagen
Platelets 2-6x over baseline

24
Q

Platelet gel platelet concentration

A

2-6x over baseline

25
Q

Platelet Gel activators?

A

“Activator” = Thrombin (bovine or human), Calcium (usually CaCl₂) or Collagen

26
Q

Absolute numeric concentration of platelets needed in PG for it to work?

A

Absolute numeric concentration

-Typically > 1,000,000/μL

27
Q

Increase in multiples above baseline concentration of platelets needed in PG for it to work?

A
  • Typically 2-6 times above baseline

- Evidence suggests >6x actually delays healing

28
Q

“Autologous platelet gel has supraphysiologic amounts of what??

A

“Autologous platelet gel has supraphysiologic amounts of platelet-derived growth factors in a sustained medium at the site of wound”
As opposed to “single factors”
As opposed to “autologous conditioned plasma”

29
Q

Where PG used?

A 
Cardiac surgery
Vascular surgery
Maxillofacial surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgery
Burns
Wound clinics
Dental clinics
Podiatrics
Ophthalmics
Veterinary Medicine
30
Q

PG can help with all tissue but what kind?

A

Evidence supports its use in promoting healing in virtually all tissues except nervous tissue

31
Q

PG Contraindications?

A 
Severe hypovolemia
Unstable angina/LM disease
Heparin therapy
Post-incisional harvest
Thrombocytopenia (~
32
Q

Never, ever, EVER apply platelet concentrates to what??

A

coronary grafts (and don’t let surgeons do it, either!)

33
Q

Harvest BMAC

A

Smart Prep 2
has the measuring looking glass plastic cup with the small end and big end separated by a little septum so PG goes in small side and RBC go in big side

34
Q

100% platelet recovery means basically what?

A

just blood — :/

35
Q

1 μL =

A

one millionth of a liter

36
Q

How many platelets in a “unit” of whole blood?

A

(Platelets/μL) X 1000 X (ml of whole blood)

37
Q

How many platelets in a “unit” of PRP?

A

(Platelets/μL) X 1000 X (ml of PRP)

38
Q

What is the percent yield of platelets in PRP?

A

(# platelets in PRP X 100)/(# platelets in whole blood)

39
Q

Stem Cells come from where?

A 
Bone Marrow (“Mesenchymal”) Derived
Adipose Derived
40
Q

Mesenchymal Cells- generally found where?

high capacity for what 2 things?

A

Generally found in the bone marrow but can be isolated from circulating blood, cord blood, fallopian tubes, and fetal tissue.
High capacity for pluropotentiality
High capacity for self renewal

41
Q

Bone Marrow Stem Cells PRoblems?

A

Critters are “funny” about having a massive pointy needle rammed into their pelvis and having those contents removed with vigorous suction!
People are less sensitive about having fat sucked out of “fat-rich” parts of their anatomy
Stem cells are “few and far between” in the bone marrow

42
Q

Adipose derived stem cells?

A

Also a source of multipotent (less pluropotent?) stem cells
> 500 X more stem cells in 1 gram of fat as compared to 1 gram of aspirated bone marrow
Have similar (+/-) ability to differentiate as does B.M.-derived.
Can be extracted without anesthesia/ sedative/tranquilizer
Avoids “fetal stem cell” discussion
*Technology for utilizing adipose-derived stem cells is much simpler (and more commercially available)
(Moving away from B.M. towards A.D.)

43
Q

Adipose stem cell amount?

A

> 500 X more stem cells in 1 gram of fat as compared to 1 gram of aspirated bone marrow

44
Q

Stem cells are synergistically attracted/stimulated by ?

A

activated platelets and the “factors” those platelets produce

45
Q

Adipose derived stem cell extraction systems do All essentially do (at least) four (5) things?

A

All essentially do (at least) four things:

1) Remove the “lipids”
2) Remove the supernatant (saline, phenylephrine, lidocaine)
3) Concentrate the adipose stem cells (hopefully)
4) Maintain the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) which creates a warm, fuzzy microenvironment for the stem cells and helps promote graft retention
5) +/or allow for the stem cell extract to be mixed at some ratio with platelet concentrate in an aerobic environment

46
Q

Harvest Smartprep

A

AdiPrep system
like a syringe that better separates the lipids from the oils, from the adipose tissue by centrifugal compared to just gravity

47
Q

“Microscopic examination reveals that the lumen of a non-Cell Friendly cannula is a landscape of spikes and pits, and may contain caustic chemicals embedded in the stainless steel during tube processing”

A

SO use a cell friendly one so it can slide by all the cells
