Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword I When the editors of this book invited me to write these lines, I asked myself what I could offer to arouse or increase the reader’s interest. I thought a comparison with the history of the initiation of other treatments as controversial as this one could be the key. Orthopaedic Surgery underwent a big change when fractures that had previ- ously been treated conservatively started being treated surgically. The aim was to ensure two things: first get a better fracture reduction, and secondly, to ensure better cohesion-congruency of the fragments and by so doing allow for earlier mobility. There were those that argued for and against this approach but over time the advantages that fracture osteosynthesis brings became highlighted. Years later a similar event occurred when endoscopic surgery was developing in the respiratory, digestive, and renal systems; it reached the joints and in the first third of the twentieth century it became possible to visualize the inside of the knee. Thus began articular endoscopic surgery with many differences of opinion and was only supported by a few, while many others did not believe in the benefits it could bring. Acceptance of this surgical treatment took many years and only began to be taken advantage of in the 1950s. However, over time and after many studies the aforementioned surgical tech- nique has become routine for intraarticular surgery. The acquisition of knowledge by orthopedic surgeons, the design of new instruments and more accurate diag- nosis of intra-articular pathologies have allowed this surgical technique to offer more solutions and therefore become more and more popular. Now it is biological therapies that are under the spotlight in the scientific community. Evidence-based medicine, good for the level of excellence that it demands, making it necessary to perform a lot of research to substantiate the effectiveness of treatments mentioned can be broadly divided into three groups: • those using the implantation of a biological inducer (Scaffold); • those that use substances that create favorable environments for the develop- ment of cells (Growth Factors); • and those that implant cells in one step or two, with the difference between the two being the culture of cells (two steps with a greater number of cells) or (one step with a lower number). v vi Foreword I I hope this short tour through the history of Orthopaedic Surgery and this brief summary of biological therapies serve to encourage the reader to delve into the exciting world of tissue regeneration. I would like to give my most sincere congratulations to the editors for the work they have done. Barcelona, April 2013 Ramon Cugat Foreword II Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is now gaining international recognition as a treatment modality. PRP came into existence during the 1980s and has since been used in many areas of medicine. My exposure to PRP and Regenerative Medicine began during my Sports Medicine Fellowship at South Pointe Cleveland Clinic, with Dr. Zenos Vangelos. The Orthobiologic premise of helping to facilitate healing of tissue had tremen- dous appeal to me. Having also experienced PRP treatments, I can speak of the effective treatment outcome, which I have now seen replicated in thousands of my patients. To date, there have been thousands of research studies published on the topic of PRP, yet as with many relatively new treatments, there are often many more questions than answers. This challenge has galvanized our authors to provide the first complete textbook on Platelet Rich Plasma. This comprehensive textbook lists the most current thoughts on PRP basic science, surgical applications, and non-surgical applications. In doing so, it is our hope that this textbook will help provide answers to some of these difficult questions and serve as a springboard for further research in this treatment modality. I would like to thank Dr. Steven Sampson for his kind invitation to be a part of this endeavor and Dr. José Fábio Santos Duarte Lana for compiling an outstanding group of internationally renowned authors in this groundbreaking textbook on Platelet Rich Plasma. Special thanks to my wife Yael, for being very understanding, supportive, and loving. Adam Weglein vii Foreword III Regenerative Medicine holds tremendous promise and is quickly gaining popu- larity worldwide. With today’s global communication, leading physicians are creating a community to foster development of innovative therapies. Although publishing literature as a clinician is tedious and challenging, it is critical to share our experiences with one another to advance our understanding of ‘‘orthobiologic’’ treatments. Dr. José Fábio Santos Duarte Lana, a world renowned orthopedist, should be commended for assembling such an international collaborative effort with physicians and researchers. Currently there are few, if any, medical textbooks that attempt to cover the span of regenerative medicine techniques in orthopedic medicine. As clinicians in our respective offices we practice the art of medicine daily. Often times when it comes to regenerative medicine we must become ‘‘pioneers’’ deciding on protocols that have not been laid out before us. For example, when I first began using PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for knee osteoarthritis there was no evidence-based medi- cine or guidelines to follow. I was driven to help patients that have failed all of the current treatment options and the science theoretically made sense. Several years later this textbook may serve as a reference for new doctors or ‘‘pioneers’’ to follow and to stimulate creativity and further evolution of this most exciting field. After using PRP to treat thousands of patients with complex conditions, we continue to modify our protocols and ask more questions. Every month new research is emerging, adding to our understanding of this novel therapy. This text addresses the growing need for standardization of technique and platelet prepa- ration when assessing its validity for clinical outcomes. While science has allowed us to greatly understand that platelets may amplify tenocytes or chondrocytes in vitro, we are now just collecting robust data in the clinical realm.

  • White Blood Cells)
    Lec.4 Medical Physiology – Blood Physiology Z.H.Kamil Leukocytes (White Blood Cells) Leukocytes are the only formed elements that are complete cells, with nuclei and the usual organelles. Accounting for less than 1% of total blood volume, leukocytes are far less numerous than red blood cells. On average, there are 4800–10,800 WBCs/μl of blood. Leukocytes are crucial to our defense against disease. They form a mobile army that helps protect the body from damage by bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, and tumor cells. As such, they have special functional characteristics. Red blood cells are kept into the bloodstream, and they carry out their functions in the blood. But white blood cells are able to slip out of the capillary blood vessels in a process called diapedesis and the circulatory system is simply their means of transport to areas of the body (mostly loose connective tissues or lymphoid tissues) where they mount inflammatory or immune responses. The signals that prompt WBCs to leave the bloodstream at specific locations are cell adhesion molecules displayed by endothelial cells forming the capillary walls at sites of inflammation. Once out of the bloodstream, leukocytes move through the tissue spaces by amoeboid motion (they form flowing cytoplasmic extensions that move them along). By following the chemical trail of molecules released by damaged cells or other leukocytes, a phenomenon called positive chemotaxis, they pinpoint areas of tissue damage and infection and gather there in large numbers to destroy foreign substances and dead cells. Whenever white blood cells are mobilized for action, the body speeds up their production and their numbers may double within a few hours.

    QUANTITATIVE STUDY ON THE PRODUCTION AND KINETICS OF MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTES DURING AN ACUTE INFLAMMATORY REACTION BY RALPH VAN FURTH, MARTINA M. C. DIESSELHOFF-DEN DULK, AND HERMAN MATTIE* (From the Department of Microbial Diseases, University Hospital, Leiden, The Netherlands) (Received for publication 10 July 1973) During an acute inflammatory response in the peritoneal cavity both the peritoneal macrophages and the monocytes in the peripheral blood increase in number (1, 2). Labeling studies with [3H]thyrnidine have demonstrated that during an acute inflam- mation, just as during the normal steady state, the peritoneal macrophages derive from peripheral blood monocytes (1), which originate in the bone marrow from divid- ing promonocytes (3, 4). Although the mitotic activity of the promonocytes (DNA-synthesis time and cell cycle time) and the kinetic characteristics of these cells have been studied quantita- tively under steady-state conditions (4) and during treatment with glucocortico- steroids (5), similar data are not available for the acute inflammatory response. The present quantitative study, performed during an acute inflammation, provided data on the production of monocytes in the bone marrow, the influx and efflux of these cells into and from the peripheral blood, and the migration of monocytes into inflammatory lesion of the peritoneal cavity. These results were compared with the findings during the normal steady state. Materials and Methods Animals.--Specific pathogen-free male Swiss mice weighing 25-30 g (Central Institute for the Breeding of Laboratory Animals, TNO, Bilthoven, The Netherlands) were used. Cell Cultures.--The techniques for harvesting and culturing mouse bone marrow cells and peritoneal macrophages have been described in detail elsewhere (1, 3).

The participant median for blasts, all types was 88. The blast cells in this case (Image 081) are large, irregular in shape and contain large prominent nucleoli. It is difficult to identify a blast cell as a myeloblast without the presence of an Auer rod in the cytoplasm. Auer rods were reported by three participants. Two systems are used to classify AML into subtypes, the French- American-British (FAB) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Most are familiar with the FAB classification. The WHO classification system takes into consideration prognostic factors in classifying AML. These factors include cytogenetic test results, patient’s age, white blood cell count, pre-existing blood disorders and a history of treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for a prior cancer. The platelet count in this case was 16,000. Reduced number of platelets was correctly reported by 346 (94%) of participants. Approximately eight percent of participants commented that the red blood cells in this case were difficult to evaluate due to the presence of a bluish hue around the red blood cells. Comments received included, “On slide 081 the morphology was difficult to evaluate since there was a large amount of protein surrounding RBC’s”, “Slide 081 unable to distinguish red cell morphology due to protein” and “Unable to adequately assess morphology on slide 081 due to poor stain”.

  • 10 Maturation and Development of Leucocytes
    MODULE Maturation and Development of Leucocytes Hematology and Blood Bank Technique 10 Notes MATURATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LEUCOCYTES 10.1 INTRODUCTION The leucocytes develop from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cell which then gives rise to a stem cell committed to formation of leucocytes. Both these cells cannot be identified morphologically by routine methods. The various types of leucocytes are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils), monocytes and lymphocytes. The three cell types develop separately and accordingly these processes will be discussed separately. OBJECTIVES After reading this lesson, you will be able to: z explain the various stages in the development of leucocytes. z describe the different types of leucocytes seen normally in PBF. 10.2 MYELOPOIESIS This is the process of formation of myeloid cells. It is restricted to the bone marrow after birth. The committed progenitor cell for granulocytes and monocytes is the GM-CFU which proliferates and differentiates to form myeloblast and monoblast. The myeloblast is the earliest morphologically identifiable cell. It is 10-18µm in size. The cytoplasm is scant and basophilic, usually agranular and may contain a few azurophilic cytoplasmic granules in the blast transiting to the next stage 80 HEMATOLOGY AND BLOOD BANK TECHNIQUE Maturation and Development of Leucocytes MODULE of promyelocyte. It has a large round to oval nucleus with a smooth nuclear Hematology and Blood membrane. The chromatin is fine, lacy and is evenly distributed throughout the Bank Technique nucleus. Two-five nucleoli can be identified in the nucleus. The next stage of maturation is the Promyelocyte. It is larger than a myeloblast, 12-20 µm with more abundant cytoplasm which has abundant primary azurophilic granules .
