Other: saline injection
Other: platelet rich plasma
Registration Number
NCT04456907
Lead Sponsor
Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
Brief Summary

Objective Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely utilized in the treatment of sports injuries with favorable outcomes. However, potential systemic effects after localized PRP injection are unclear at present.

Design: prospective randomized study Methods Twenty-four Taiwanese male athletes with tendinopathy were randomized into a PRP group (n = 13) or a saline group (n = 11).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Urinary excretion of endogenous AAS metabolites1 week

Doping substances in urine, mainly metabolites of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), were quantified, including testosterone (17β-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one), epitestosterone (17α- hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one), androsterone (4-androsten-3,17-dione), etiocholanolone (3α-hydroxy-5β-androstan-17-one), DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), dihydroandrosterone (5α- androstane-3α,17β-diol), and etiocholane-3α,17β-diol (5β -androstane-3α,17β-diol). Each urine sample (6 mL) was mixed with 50 μL standard solution and 1 mL phosphate buffer, and the mixture was heated for 60 min at 50°C. After cooling at room temperature, liquid-liquid extraction was performed, and phase separation was achieved. The organic extract was evaporated to dryness, and the dried residue was further derivatized with 50 μL of MSTFA solution for 30 min at 60°C. Finally, the sample was subjected to gas chromatographic analysis and mass spectrometric analysis for quantification of doping substances of interest.
