摘要:Background:? Pressure ulcers often seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Moist Exposed Burn Ointment (MEBO) has been developed to treat patients with pressure ulcers. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEBO in the treatment of pressure ulcers in Chinese patients. Methods:? Seventy-two patients with pressure ulcers were randomly assigned to 2 groups who received a placebo or MEBO for 2 months. The primary outcomes included the wound surface area (WSA) and pressure ulcer scale for healing (PUSH) tool. The secondary outcomes included a visual analog scale (VAS), questionnaire of ulcer status, and adverse effects. Results:? Sixty-seven patients completed the study. After 2 months of treatment, the difference of mean change from the baseline was greater for MEBO (vs placebo) for WSA mean (SD) ?6.0 (?8.8, ?3.3), PUSH Tool ?2.6 (?4.7, ?1.5), and VAS score ?2.9 (?4.4, ?1.7). On the basis of the questionnaire, the pressure ulcers were “completely healed” (50.0% vs 16.7%) (P < .05) in patients after 2 months of treatment with MEBO versus placebo. No major adverse effects were found in the 2 groups. Conclusion:? We showed that MEBO is effective and well tolerated for improving wound healing in Chinese patients with pressure ulcers.
摘要:Background: This is still a public problem that needs to be solved urgently: chronic and refractory wound healing with long course and complex pathological mechanism. At present, there is still a lack of effective clinical treatment. This study, therefore, aims at exploring moist exposed burn therapy/moist exposed burn ointment (MEBT/MEBO) combined with Zhuang medicine detoxification in the treatment of chronic refractory wound healing. Methodology: 100 SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model control group, MEBO group, Zhuang medicine group and Combined group, with 20 rats in each group. Open wound model was established in blank control group, and chronic refractory wound model was established in other groups. Black control group and model control group were given food and water freely, MEBO group was given dressing change once a day, Zhuang medicine group was given intragastric administration once a day, and combined group was given dressing change and intragastric administration once a day. The effective rate of wound healing was observed after 12 days of continuous intervention. Conclusion: Skin regeneration medical technique combined with Zhuang medicine poison theory can effectively reduce the symptoms of bleeding and exudation, reduce the area of wound, shorten the healing time of wound, and achieve physiological healing of wound. It has a good effect on chronic refractory wound.

The literatures were systematically reviewed and 10 papers capable of quantitative analysis were meta-analyzed. <bold>Results</bold> : Oriental herbal medicines had a effect on reducing wound healing time, pain and the risk of infection and skin transplantation. <bold>Conclusions</bold> : We found that oriental herbal medicine was effective and safe for burn treatment.
摘要:Objective To introduce a new method of treating facial soft tissue defect by observing the clinical curative effects of traditional Chinese medicine moisture exposed burn ointment in treating facial soft tissue defect. Methods A total of 85 patients with facial soft tissue defects were treated with traditional Chinese medicine moisture exposed burn ointment, and the clinical therapeutic effects were analyzed by observing the wound healing time, scar formation and changes of facial appearance and functions. Results Of the 85 patients, the shortest wound healing time was 12 days and the longest was 72 days; the facial appearance and functions restored to be normal in 74 patients, with good skin elasticity and mild scar formation in the wound area; 11 patients were lost to the follow-up; two patients suffered from the longest wound healing time due to their skin defect of nasal tip and nasal columella and the cartilage defect of nasal wings, and V-shaped defects were left at the edge of the left nostrils after the wound healing, which may be attributed to the ineffectiveness of MEBT/MEBO on cartilage. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine moisture exposed burn ointment can realize more satisfying healing effects when applied in the treatment of facial soft tissue defects, including user-friendly operation, no special requirements for medical devices, obviously lower treatment cost, etc., and thus it is an easy-to-operate and effective way for such patients, especially for elderly patients, patients with poor body conditions and patients unbearable to undergo complicated operations.
