摘要:Improved healing of full- and partial-thickness cutaneous wounds in wet and moist environments is due primarily to retention of biological fluids over the wound preventing desiccation of denuded dermis or deeper tissues. This also allows faster and unimpeded migration of keratinocytes over the wound surface and enables the naturally occurring cytokines and growth factors to exert their beneficial effect on wound contracture and reepithelialization. Despite all these documented benefits creating and maintaining a sealed moist environment over large surface areas such as large skin graft donor sites or extensive burns is technically difficult if not impossible. The preliminary investigation carried out between 1999 and 2000 studied the healing of a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) following application of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO). This compound provides a moist environment without the need of an overlying occlusive dressing, and compares favorably with Sofra-Tulle semi-open dressing. Healing of STSG donor sites was then evaluated from January to September 2001 in a prospective study comparing the effect of Tegaderm, a semipermeable membrane occlusive dressing, and MEBO, two different types of moist dressings. Wound healing was evaluated by measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and scar quality was assessed by two independent observers using a visual analogue scale. Faster healing was observed clinically with MEBO application. Physiological healing as determined by TEWL measurements occurred at an extremely significant earlier stage for MEBO, and this was associated with better scar quality demonstrating a positive relationship between function and cosmetic appearance. Moreover, simple ointment application was definitely more practical than application of the occlusive self-adhesive membrane.
摘要:Objective: To investigate the mechanism of the effect of Moist Exposed Burn Therapy (MEBT) and Moist Exposed Burn Ointment (MEBO) on the spontaneous repair and healing of superficial third degree burn wound involving fatty layer. Method: A series of skin tissue samples were taken from deep burn wounds of 2 cases. Immunocytochemistry method, biotin-avidin DCS system, and indirect immunofluorescence technique were applied. Mouse anti-human keratin type 19 monoclonal antibody was used to detect regenerative epidermal stem cells in wound tissues. Results: Epidermal regenerative stem cells emerged at 24 hours post burn, and the number of epidermal regenerative stem cell increased on day 4 post burn. On days 7 and 14 post burn, the number of epidermal stem cells increased to the peak level. On days 21 and 28 post burn, it decreased and disappeared gradually as burn wound progressed to healing. Conclusion: MEBT/MEBO has the effect of promoting the activation and proliferation of epidermal regenerative stem cells in ...
