[Effects of basic fibroblast growth factor on the healing of cutaneous chronic wounds]
Abstract
Objective:
To observe the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) on the healing of cutaneous chronic wounds.
Methods:
Twenty-eight cases with thirty-three wounds from trauma, diabetes, pressure and radiation injuries were locally treated with bFGF in a dosage of 150 U/cm2 wounds. The healing time of wounds was used to evaluate the treatment results.
Results:
The healing time in all of chronic wounds were accelerated. All wounds from trauma, diabetes and pressure were healed within 4 weeks and another 2 wounds from radiation injuries were healed over 4 weeks. The healing rate within 4 weeks was 93.9%.
Conclusion:
The results indicate that bFGF can be used as a promoter to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds in clinic.
