[Effect of miliacin oil in the treatment of trophic ulcers]

The effect of topical treatment of trophic ulcers with oleum miliacei was studied for the first time on 87 albino rats and 74 rabbits. The oil is obtained from millet scraps which are a by-product of groats processing. Oleum miliacei was found to possess a marked antiinflammatory property and stimulate considerably regeneration processes. The therapeutic effect of oleum miliacei was higher than that of oleum hippophae and oleum rosae. In treatment with this oil the term of healing of the ulcers reduced, on the average, by 12 and 16 days in rats and by 18 and 23 days in rabbits.
