Análise do colágeno e angiogênese de feridas dérmicas de coelhos tratados com PRP autólogo gel

Abstract

Significant scientific advances have been made in the last ten years to ascertain the effects of the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and its contribution not only to the hemostatic process, but also wound healing, by releasing growth factors that have tissue regenerating induction properties. The effects of autologous PRP gel and the quality of collagen fibers produced were evaluated after induction of dermal wounds in 6 New Zealand rabbits, treated or not with autologous PRP gel. The wounds were followed for 17 days. On days 7, 10 and 17 the animals were evaluated for the morphological and morphometric behavior of the wounds. Regarding the percentage of collagen fibers, there was a greater quantity (P <0.05) in the untreated rabbits (85.7%) compared to those receiving autologous PRP gel (75.0%). However, microscopically, increased expression of collagen fibers was observed in the samples treated with autologous PRP gel, displaying a more homogenous layout and better fiber reorganization, demonstrating a dense network involving all attachments and newly formed vessels characterized by high dermal birefringence. It can be concluded from this study that the use of autologous PRP gel on wounds improved the quality and reorganization of collagen fibers.
