[Experimental therapy of thermal burns with biogenic peptide-containing preparations]

The authors studied the therapeutic activity of biogenic peptide-containing preparations derived from microbial cell membrane fractions, solcoseryl, and plasma alcohol extract (PAE) in experimental thermal trauma. Treatment of the burnt animals with solcoseryl and PAE reduced mortality to 40-42%, accelerated the healing of the burn wound, restored the behavior status, and increased the intensity of oxygen consumption. This is evidence of the promising character of further studies of the biological activity and therapeutic properties of these preparations.
