Objective To identify a more popularized preparation protocol of leukocytes-rich platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) for higher tolerance rate.Methods The peripheral blood samples of 76 volunteers (45.0 mL/case) were mixed with 5 mL sodium citrate injection for blood transfusion, and L-PRP was prepared by twice centrifugations. All blood samples were divided into three groups according to the parameters of twice centrifugation: experimental group A (12 cases, 400×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 100×g, 10 minutes for the second time), experimental group B (27 cases, 800×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 100×g, 10 minutes for the second time), and control group (37 cases, 1 360×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 360×g, 10 minutes for the second time). The platelet recovery rate and platelet and leukocyte enrichment coefficient of L-PRP in each group were calculated and compared.Results After removal of abnormal blood samples (platelet recovery rate was more than 100% or white thrombus), the remaining 55 cases were included in the statistical analysis, including 10 cases in experimental group A, 21 cases in experimental group B, and 24 cases in control group. The platelet enrichment coefficient and platelet recovery rate of experimental group B were significantly higher than those of experimental group A and control group (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between experimental group A and control group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in leukocyte enrichment coefficient between experimental groups A, B, and control group (P>0.05).Conclusion The preparation quality of PRP is affected by various factors, including centrifugal force, centrifugal time, temperature, and operation process, etc. Twice centrifugation (800×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 100×g, 10 minutes for the second time) is an ideal and feasible centrifugation scheme, which can obtain satisfactory platelet recovery rate and enrichment coefficient with thicker buffy coat, which can reduce the fine operation requirements for operators, improve the fault tolerance rate and generalization.
