AI Article Synopsis
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is gaining popularity in plastic surgery and dermatology, with a notable increase in research publications over the past 20 years, highlighting its therapeutic applications.
- The bibliometric analysis of 1931 studies indicated that the U.S. is the leading contributor to PRP research, with Italy also making significant contributions, particularly through the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
- Current research hotspots include facial rejuvenation, scar treatment, and hair loss (alopecia), with "PRP for facial beauty" emerging as a prominent keyword in recent studies.
Article Abstract
Background: In recent years, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in plastic surgery, dermatology, and other treatment procedures worldwide. Since the number of scientific writings has been significantly increasing, it is challenging to generate a manual compilation and systematic review of PRP's therapeutic applications in dermatology and plastic surgeries. This study aimed to make a bibliometric analysis of the literature in the field and evaluate research hotspots and frontiers in this field in the past 20 years.
Methods: Using the Academic Search Premier and ScienceDirect defined search terms, we searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Scopus databases. All data were analyzed using CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and VOSviewer, including countries, institutions, authors, keywords, cited authors, cited journals, cited references, discovered research hotspots, and frontiers.
Results: A total of 1931 studies were retrieved. The number of publications on PRP application in dermatology and plastic surgeries showed a yearly increase. The United States was the most significant contributor to this field, while Italy's contribution was noteworthy. The journal with the highest number of relevant articles in dermatology and plastic surgery included the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. However, the Wound Repair and Regeneration and International Journal of Molecular Sciences were the leading journals that should be paid attention to in the future. Author Anitua E from the Tor Vergata University of Rome published the most publications in this field. In the keyword co-occurrence analysis, all keywords were divided into six clusters, and the most common one in recent years was "PRP for facial beauty." Facial rejuvenation, scar, and alopecia were the main hotspots and research trends in this field.
Conclusions: Based on the current global trends, the use of PRP in cosmetics and skin care is receiving increasing attention from researchers and clinicians. Recently, an increasing number of articles on PRP's application in skin tissue repair have been published in the United States and Italy. The number of studies on hair loss, facial rejuvenation, and scar management is increasing, suggesting that these subjects may become research hotspots for PRP in dermatology and cosmetic surgeries in recent years.

Background: Although rare, melanoma confined to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue without evidence of a primary cutaneous site should provoke consideration of melanoma of unknown primary. This diagnosis carries a favorable prognosis when compared with cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Several hypotheses have been proposed for how melanoma of unknown primary develops, two of which were considered in our patient case: (1) spontaneous regression of the primary tumor following metastasis or (2) the traumatic implantation of ectopic melanocytic cells in other tissues, such as the subcutaneous tissue.

Background: Megakaryocytes are traditionally recognized as cells responsible for platelet production. However, beyond their role in thrombopoiesis, megakaryocytes also participate in inflammatory responses and regulate immune system functions. Sepsis, characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated response to infection, prominently features coagulopathy, severe inflammation, and immune dysfunction as key pathophysiological aspects.
