摘要：BACKGROUND? Postsurgical scars are of significant concern to patients and surgeons. Many studies have focused on different treatment options for established surgical scars. The prevention and minimization of such aberrant healing responses is more likely to yield better outcomes and require less time and expense. OBJECTIVE AND METHOD? A review of the literature on various forms of prophylactic treatments intended to prevent or minimize the development of prominent postsurgical scars was performed using the Pubmed database over a period from 1987 to 2010. Search terms included “scar prevention,” “scar minimization,” “post-surgical scar management,” and “surgical scars.” RESULTS? Various over-the-counter topical products commonly used by patients have failed to demonstrate any significant benefits in improving final scar outcomes. Numerous interventions performed around the time of surgery, including botulinum toxin, lasers, and intradermal injectable products, have shown effectiveness in minimizing eventual scar appearance. CONCLUSIONS? Patient education on proper wound care is a simple method of improving the cosmetic appearance of surgical scars. At the other end of the spectrum, our knowledge of the complex mechanisms of wound healing has allowed for the development of new, effective treatment modalities, including lasers, botulinum toxin, cytokines, and stem cells.

摘要：Purpose: This study intended to analyze the differences in the efficacy of three topical wound care products on wound healing in patients undergoing surgery under the laser wound model. Method: A total of 130 patients in the department of dermatology enrolled for retrospective analysis. These patients were divided into group A (n=43, Zihua Shaoshang Ruangao), group B (n=43, Shengji Yuhong Gao), and group C (n=44, Shirun Shaoshang Gao), respectively, according to the type of wound care product administrated. The efficacy was compared during one month of treatment. Results: There was little difference among groups A, B, and C in VAS score, FGF, EGF, and concentration of substance P (SP) at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 days after surgery (P>0.05), and a significant difference in these parameters among different time points was observed for intra-group comparison (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the symptom scores at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days after surgery among the three groups (P>0.05), while there was statistically significant difference at different time points in the same group (P<0.05). The wound healing rates at 10, 20, and 30 days after surgery were 25.58%, 65.12%, and 95.35% in group A, 20.93%, 67.44%, and 100.00% in group B and 25.00%, 59.09%, and 97.73% in group C respectively (P>0.05). The patients’ satisfaction rate towards the appearance was 95.35% in group A, 97.67% in group B, and 97.73% in group C (P>0.05). Conclusion: The three kinds of wound care products, namely Zihua Shaoshang Ruangao, Shengji Yuhong Gao and Shirun Shaoshang Gao, exhibited good efficacy on the wound care of patients after dermatologic surgery. The wounds could be improved quickly, and patients were highly satisfied with the new appearance of the wound. Clinically, wound care products can be selected according to the stock of products in the hospital and patients’ preferences.

摘要：Healing Second degree burns can be affected by the presence of bacteria. This research reveals the role of honey and MEBO in removing bacterial effects on healing. Pure experimental research method with a completely randomized design (CRD). There were 4 treatments, which were positive, negative, honey and MEBO treatment, each of which was given to rats with second degree burns. Wound healing and other parameters were observed on 7th, 14th and 21st days. The result was that the administration of honey as an antibacterial drug was very effective and gave healing on the 21st day to white rats. Giving MEBO as an antibacterial drug is very effective and provides healing on the 21st day to white rats. Giving honey is more effective than MEBO as an antibacterial drug and healing burns on 21st day against white rats.

摘要：Skin wounds represent an enormous clinical and financial problem in equine. The present study evaluated the effect of Panthenol gel and Mebo ointment on metacarpal wounds healing in donkeys. This experimental study was carried out on eighteen adult donkeys divided into three groups each of six donkeys. All animals were exposed to creation of 2?× 2 cm full-thickness skin wound on the dorsal aspect of the metacarpal regions of both forelimbs. All the wounds were cleaned daily with sterile gauze soaked with sterile distilled water. For the Panthenol gel group, 1 finger tip unit (0.5?g) of Panthenol gel was applied once daily over the wound surfaces. For the Mebo ointment group, 1 finger tip unit (0.5?g) of Mebo ointment was applied once daily over the wound surfaces. For control group, the wounds were cleaned with sterile gauze soaked with sterile distilled water without application of any treatment. The wound healing process was compared by gross observation, geometrical assessments of percentage wound contraction, percentage wound epithelialization, percentage wound healing, and histopathological examination. The wound contraction, wound epithelialization, and wound healing percentages in the Panthenol gel group were significantly higher than other groups and by the end of seventh week, all animals’ wounds in the Panthenol gel group had complete healing. Mebo ointment group had no a significant effect on wound epithelialization and wound healing percentages. In conclusion, the study recommended the use of Panthenol gel as an effective and low-cost wound healing promoting agent for full-thickness skin wounds in donkeys.
