The healing process of burns includes coagulation, inflammation, and remodeling. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is involved throughout this healing process. Stem cells from the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) can increase concentrations of growth factors, including VEGF. This is expected to accelerate burn healing. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of PRP and SVF on VEGF levels in a rats model of deep dermal burn wound healing.

This is an experimental research study in rats using a post-test control group design with 4 groups: A) control, B) Vaseline, C) topical PRP and SVF, and D) PRP and SVF injection. Burn wounds were induced according to the modified Guo method.

In a rats model of deep dermal wound healing, topical Vaseline significantly increased serum VEGF compared to control. Topical application and injection of stem cells also significantly increased serum VEGF compared to control and Vaseline. The VEGF concentration was significantly higher following injection of PRP and SVF, suggesting that the injection route is more effective at increasing VEGF levels compared to the topical application of stem cells.

The combination of PRP and SVF, either by injection or topical application, can increase VEGF levels during the healing process from deep dermal burns.

The application of appropriate cell origin for utilizing in regenerative medicine is the major issue. Various kinds of stem cells have been used for the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Such as, several stromal cells have been employed as treat option for regenerative medicine. For example, human bone marrow-derived stromal cells and adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) are used in cell-based therapy. Data relating to the stem cell therapy and processes associated with ADSC has developed remarkably in the past 10 years. As medical options, both the stromal vascular and ADSC suggests good opportunity as marvelous cell-based therapeutics. The some biological features are the main factors that impact the regenerative activity of ADSCs, including the modulation of the cellular immune system properties and secretion of bioactive proteins such as cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, as well as their intrinsic anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory potential. A variety of diseases have been treated by ADSCs, and it is not surprising that there has been great interest in the possibility that ADSCs might be used as therapeutic strategy to improve a wider range of diseases. This is especially important when it is remembered that routine therapeutic methods are not completely effective in treat of diseases. Here, it was discuss about applications of ADSC to colitis, liver failure, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, orthopaedic disorders, hair loss, fertility problems, and salivary gland damage.
