PENGARUH INKORPORASI PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) PADA PERANCAH KORAL BUATAN CaCO3 TERHADAP PROFIL SWELLING
Abstract
Swelling ratio is the ability of the scaffold to absorb the liquid while
maintaining its balance at the same time. Therefore, the scaffold does not change in
shape. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentration of platelets which
contain growth factors. PRP has an ability to incorporate with the scaffold for bone
tissue engineering.
Aimed of this study is to define the influence of incorporated PRP to synthetic
coral scaffold to the swelling profile. The design of this study is experimental
laboratory. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared by a double-spinning methode by
Tabata. The blood sample was taken from lateral tail vein of wistar rats (Rattus
norvegicus). The synthetic coral scaffolds prepared from gelatin and calcium
carbonate (CaCO3). Six synthetic coral scaffolds were divided into two groups. First
is PRP incorporation group (n=3) and the second is synthetic coral scaffolds without
PRP as the control (n=3). The synthetic coral scaffold dipped in 70μl of PRP for 15
minutes. Then the scaffolds were placed in the phosphate buffer saline and incubated
for 48h at 37℃. The weight of the scaffold at swelling condition was measured every
30 minutes.
The data were analyzed by Independent T test and the result showed no
significant different between two groups in this research. However, the graphic
showed that incorporated PRP synthetic coral scaffold had higher swelling ratio than
non-incorporated PRP at the initial time.
According to this study, it can be concluded that the incorporation of PRP in
synthetic coral scaffold has an affect to the swelling profile.
