DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0040] The preferred embodiments are described hereafter in order to further elucidate the techniques of the invention:
Testing Example:
[0041] The method disclosed in the announced Taiwan patent TW-I270375 was used to prepare a platelet dry powder. 1.0 g of platelet dry powder was obtained and added to saline to make up 5.0 mL of solution, then the PDGF titer of the solution was analyzed by using a spectrophotometer (U.S. Bio-Tek Instruments, Inc., Model -Quant) immediately after preparation (0 hour), after 1 week (168 hours), after 2 weeks (336 hours), after 3 weeks (504 hours), and after 4 weeks (672 hours). Results from the analyses are shown in Table 1.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Changes of PDGF titer in the solution prepared from the platelet dry powder. Weeks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 PDGF 2930 2795 3012 2854 2822 2776 2785 (pg/mL)
[0042] The experimental figures show: The PDGF titer of the platelet dry powder is very stable.
Embodiment 1
[0043] The method disclosed in the announced patent TW-1270375 was used to prepare an autologous platelet dry powder from autologous blood in advance. The platelet dry powder was added to water obtained by reverse osmosis (RO) to prepare a solution having 5000 platelets/mL therein, then the solution was held in a spray bottle. The number of platelets in the solution was measured by using a Hematology Analyzer (Manufacturer: Sysmex, Model: KX-21).
[0044] A patient was allowed to undergo a treatment for skincare stimulation once a week, which involved firstly disinfecting a body area awaiting the skincare stimulation, and then carrying out laser treatment on the disinfected body area, followed by evenly spraying the skincare stimulant (solution) on the disinfected body area. In addition, between every two treatments, the body area awaiting the skincare stimulation was evenly sprayed with the skincare stimulant after washing face everyday.
