Abstract

IntroductionThe combination of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is effective at increasing the concentration of growth factors including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). The increase in this growth factor is expected to accelerate the healing of burns. This study aims to determine the effect of giving a combination of SVFs and PRP on TGF-β levels in the healing process of deep dermal burns. MethodsThis was an experimental study in 64 rats using a post-test control group design consisting of 1 group of SVFs and PRP combination injection treatment group, 1 group given a topical combination of SVFs and PRP, 1 group given Vaseline, and 1 control group. ResultsThere was a significant difference in TGF-β levels between the deep dermal burns group that was given a combination of SVFs and PRP injection and topical, the Vaseline group, and the control group with p-value <0.05. ConclusionThe combination of SVFs and PRP increases the level of TGF-β in the healing process of deep dermal burns.
