Treatment of chronic radiation ulcers with recombinant platelet-derived growth factor and a hydrophilic copolymer
Abstract:
We report on a 59-year-old woman suffering from cutaneous T-cell lymphoma of the mycosis fungoides type, who developed chronic ulcerating radiation dermatitis after total body electron beam irradiation with a cumulative dose of 36 Gy. The painful and easily bleeding ulcers could be markedly improved using a combined approach with topical platelet-derived growth factor gel and hydrophilic copolymer membranes.

01:24Drugs for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Sucralfate as Mucosal Protective Agents
In the intricate landscape of the gastric lumen, excessive acid secretion disrupts the natural defense mechanisms, weakening the mucus-bicarbonate barrier. This vulnerability allows pepsin to infiltrate epithelial cells, digesting mucosal proteins and triggering erosion, leading to ulcer formation.
In this scenario, mucosal protective agents like sucralfate play an essential role. Sucralfate, a complex of sulfated sucrose and aluminum hydroxide, demonstrates its usefulness in acidic conditions,...
