Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the therapeutic effect of the combination of Erbium YAG laser and stromal vascular fraction (SVF), the combination of Erbium YAG laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Erbium YAG laser alone in the treatment of striae
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized with sealed envelopes, phase 2-3 on 10 patients (30 lesions)
Settings and conduct
In this study, 10 patients with at least three striae will be treated with Erbium YAG Laser in one session. Then, in the same session, one side is randomly injected with SVF, one side is injected with PRP, and the third side is injected with placebo. Injections are done with syringes of the same shape and color, and the patient, as well as the doctor evaluating the results and the statistician are blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The diagnosis of stria distensa based on the diagnosis of a dermatologist, Age less than 50 years and more than 18 years Exclusion criteria: Using any treatment method to remove striae in the last three months, Presence of lesions and skin diseases such as skin cancer or infections, Presence of collagen vascular diseases, Pregnancy and lactation, Using steroids or immunosuppressive drugs
Intervention groups
3 groups: combination of Erbium YAG laser and stromal vascular fraction (SVF), the combination of Erbium YAG laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Erbium YAG laser alone
Main outcome variables
Examining the level of effectiveness based on the Vancouver scale

Sample size
Target sample size: 10
More than 1 sample in each individual
Number of samples in each individual: 3
Each patient must have at least three striae
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
After being selected by available method, lesions are divided into 3 groups by simple randomization, so that among 30 sealed bags, one bag will be randomly selected for each lesion. Each bag contains the letter a, b, or c.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The injection of stromal vascular fraction (SVF), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and normal saline was done with syringes of the same shape, the contents of which are not known, and the patient does not know which treatment group he is in. Also, the doctor evaluating the results and the statistician are blinded to the treatment group of the patient.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group 1: combination of erbium Yag laser and intralesional injection of stromal vascular fraction (SVF). Erbium YAG laser usually selectively targets hydrous tissue with light of 2940 nm wavelength, and the residual thermal damage in the dermis leads to the accumulation and regeneration of collagen. SVF preparation: Mesenchymal stem cells are obtained by aspirating 20 to 40 cc of fat from the human thigh or abdomen during a surgical procedure (3 cm incision). The lipoaspirate is first washed thoroughly in phosphate-buffered saline before undergoing enzymatic digestion with collagenase to obtain a single cell suspension. After digestion, the centrifuged cell pellet (referred to as the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)) is resuspended in StemMACS™ MSC Expansion Media before being serially filtered through 100-µm and then 40-µm nylon filters and the mononuclear cell fraction The cell sample is counted and cultured in StemMACS MSC Expansion Media. MSCs will adhere to plastic surfaces within 24 hours, after which the media should be replaced with fresh StemMACS MSC Expansion Media. 2-3 cc of the prepared solution SVF are injected subcutaneously at one centimeter intervals using a 1cc syringe.

Description
Intervention group 2: combination of erbium Yag laser followed by intralesional injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Platelet-rich plasma: First, the anticoagulant drug is added with a 20-ml syringe at a ratio of 1 to 10 (one milliliter of anticoagulant per ten milliliters of the patient's blood sample). A 50-ml blood sample is then drawn from the patient's internal cubital vein. Time is given for 10 seconds to ensure that the blood sample mixes with the anticoagulant drug. The tubes containing the above substance are centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 4 minutes. After centrifugation, there are three parts in the tube: a plasma part with few platelets, a tissue part and a red blood cell part. Since PRP is a combination of tissue and plasma, the red blood cells are separated from the kits. For final concentration, the separate parts containing PPP and buffy coat are centrifuged again at 3000 rpm for 4 minutes. The remaining PRP is then aspirated from each test tube and activated by adding calcium chloride (0.1 ml per 0.9 ml PRP) to finally obtain 6 ml of active PRP.
