Burns are one of the most serious injuries, affecting around 11 million people a year worldwide. About 200/100000 inhabitants in Lithuania. Treatment is com­plex: the priorities of specialized facilities focus on sta­bilizing the patient, preventing infection, and optimizing functional recovery; and requires a lot of resources, both human and financial. Therefore, more and more effective treatments for burns are constantly being sought in order to accelerate the healing itself and thus reduce the du­ration of hospitalization. Number of recent reports sug­gests that EMF has a positive impact at different stages of healing. Processes impacted by EMF include, but are not limited to, cell migration and proliferation, expres­sion of growth factors, nitric oxide signaling, cytokine modulation, and more. Objectives and methods. The objective of this work was to study the effect of electromagnetic matrix on wound healing in burns. We evaluated medical records of 18 patients who underwent treatment in the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery from 2018.01.01 to 2019.12.30. All patients had IIA-IIB degree burns affec­ting less than 10% of the body surface and underwent the standard general treatment. They were divided into two groups: control group 55,6% (n=10) – treated only with the standard treatment and research group 44,4% (n=8) – to whom the EMF matrix were applied. Statistical data analysis was carried out using the SPSS 23.0 software. Results. Pain assessment, wound granulation area, and epithelialization were chosen to evaluate the burn healing process. These indicators were assessed on day 0-1; 3(±1) days and 7(±1) days after hospitalization. There was a statistically significant increase in wound granulation 5 days after the start of treatment in patients treated with the applicator (p = 0.019). Pain and epithelialization ra­tes between standard and applicator treatment methods did not differ statistically significantly over the treatment period. The partial nonparametric Spearman correlation coefficient, eliminating potentially influencing factors such as time after injury, the area of burn showed that the treatment method had a direct effect on the area of wound granulation (r = 0.625; p = 0.04). Conclusion. During the period from 2018.01.01 to 2019.12.31 patients had IIA-IIB degree burns affecting less than 10% of the body surface. 55,6 % of patients were treated only with the standard treatment and 44,4% with EMF matrix. The analysis showed that the average hospitalization time of the control group was 8.5 (0.898) days, while in the research group it was 7.88 (1.493) days, no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant increase in wound granulation 5 days after the start of treatment in patients treated with the applicator (p = 0.019). Pain and epitheli­alization rates between standard and applicator treatment methods did not differ statistically significantly over the treatment period.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the concentrations of tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) in the blood of patients with a postoperative wound after neurosurgery. Method: Participants included 20 adult patients who underwent neurosurgery because of degenerative spine changes. The concentration of TF and TFPI in the patients’ blood serum was measured 3 times: before surgery, during the first 24 hr after surgery, and between the 5th and 7th days after surgery. The control group comprised 20 healthy volunteers similar to the patient group with respect to gender and age. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between TF concentration at all three measurement time points in the research group and TF concentration in the control group ( p = .018, p = .010, p = .001). A statistically significant difference was found between TFPI concentration at the second time point in the research group and TFPI concentration in the control group ( p = .041). No statistically significant within-subject difference was found between TF concentrations before and after surgery. A statistically significant within-subject difference was found between TFPI concentrations within 24 hr after surgery and 5–7 days after surgery ( p = .004). Conclusion: High perioperative concentrations of TF indicate not only the presence of thrombophilia but also the importance of TF in the wound-healing process. Perioperative changes in TFPI concentrations are related to its compensatory influence on hemostasis in thrombophilic conditions.

Abstract Introduction Burn is one of the most severe traumas that causes coagulative destruction of the skin. The use of various products that accelerate wound healing in patients with burn may affect the patient’s survival and reduce the complications that may be seen. In the present study we aimed effects of subcutaneous ozone injection on second degree burn wound. Methods A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley male rats included in the study were divided randomly into three groups (control group (CG), silver sulfadiazine group (SG), ozone group (OG)) and each group was divided randomly two subgroups (as sacrificed on d7 and on d14).A deep second degree scald burns were created on the lower back. In CG subcutaneous 0.9% serum saline was injected daily into the burn area. In SG, burns were dressed with silver sulfadiazine daily and in OG subcutaneous ozone was injected daily into the burn area. Tissue hydroxyproline level measurement and histopathological evaluation were done. Results When the groups were compared in terms of weight change, no significant difference was found on the 7th and 14th days. In the evaluation made in terms of tissue hydroxyproline, tissue hydroxyproline level in OG was found to be significantly higher on both the 7th and 14th days (p < 0.001). In histopathological evaluations, it was determined that wound healing in OG was significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusions According to the results, subcutaneous ozone therapy is more effective than silver sulphadiazine in the healing process of second-degree burn wounds and it can be safely used in the treatment of burn wounds.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate whether cryopreserved (frozen) adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) have a therapeutic effect on burn wound healing as well as freshly isolated (fresh) ADRCs.Full thickness burns were created on dorsum of nude mice and burn wound was excised. The wound was covered by artificial dermis with; (i) fresh ADRCs, (ii) frozen ADRCs, and (iii) PBS (control). The assessment for wound healing was performed by morphological, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses.In vivo analyses exhibited the significant therapeutic effect of frozen ADRCs on burn wound healing up to the similar or higher level of fresh ADRCs. There were significant differences of wound closure, epithelized tissue thickness, and neovascularization between the treatment groups and control group. Although there was no significant difference of therapeutic efficacy between fresh ADRC group and frozen ADRC group, frozen ADRCs improved burn wound healing process in dermal regeneration with increased great type I collagen synthesis compared with fresh ADRCs.These findings indicate that frozen ADRCs allow us to apply not only quickly but also for multiple times, and the cryopreserved ADRCs could therefore be useful for the treatment of burn wounds in clinical settings.

The prevalence of cesarean section (SC) continues to increase along with the quality of technical facilities improvement. Failure to recover the surgical wounds after cesarean section is one of the possible SC complications that should be taken seriously. Proper nutrition greatly affect to wound healing. This study aims to found the effectiveness of high protein nutrients intake for post SC wound healing process at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital Banda Aceh. Design: This study is an experimental research with post test for intervention and control group design and using purposive sampling with the observation format as the measuring instrument. A total of 30 mother with post sectio caesarea participated in this study. There was a significant difference between post-SC wound healing in the intervention group (46.7%) compare to the control group (6.7%) (0.000). The mean of wound healing in the proliferation phase in the intervention group was faster than the control group respectively (10.47; 7.93). The hospital should provide information and evaluate high protein intake especially in post-SC patients during the treatment time, so that the patient is able to apply the information until they are going back home.

Introduction: The incidence of acute and chronic injuries increases every year. Most injuries in the world population, as many as 48%, are caused by trauma or surgery. the highest incidence of wounds in the world based on the etiology was from surgery, which was 110.30 million cases. One of the handlings of wounds on the skin can be done by giving herbal medicines, which can be easily accessed by the public, such as binahong leaves and papaya leaves. Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of giving 40% binahong leaf extract cream and 40% papaya leaf extract cream on the wound distance in the white rat wound healing process. Method: this study is an experimental study with post-test only control group design approach. The sampling technique used in this study was a random sampling method where the number of samples was calculated using the Federer formula, with a total sample of 28 white rats. The distance of the wound was measured using a micrometer. Results: Twenty-eight wound distance on rats were measured as subjects of the study and then treated with binahong leaf extract cream and papaya leaf extract cream, then the wound distance of each treatment was measured using a micrometer. According to the results, 40% binahong leaf extract cream and 40% papaya leaf extract cream showed better effectiveness in reducing the wound distance of white rat incision than the negative control group (cream base) and positive control group (gentamicin ointment). According to the Mann Whitney test comparing the P1 group (40% binahong leaf extract cream) and P2 (40% papaya leaf extract cream), p-value >0.05, which is 0.543, which means that P1 has no significant mean difference with P2. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in effectiveness between the treatment of 40% binahong leaf extract cream and 40% papaya leaf extract cream.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the healing effect of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) clot membranes in palatal wounds, resulting from free gingival graft (FGG) harvesting, on the reepithelization rate and on the pain experience after surgery. Materials and Methods Twenty-five patients requiring FGG have participated in this prospective cohort study. After FGG harvesting, the test group (n = 14) received A-PRF clot membranes at the palatal wound and the control group (n = 11) received a gelatin sponge. Epithelialization rate of the palatal wound, wound healing area, correspondent percentage of reduction, and postsurgical pain experience were assessed at 2, 7, 14, 30, and 90 days. Results A-PRF group had higher palatal wound reduction than the control group, at 7, 14, and 30 days of follow-up. The highest difference between the groups was attained at 30 days (91.5% for A-PRF vs. 59.0% control group). At 14 days, a significant difference in the proportion of patients showing total epithelization was found: 64.3% for A-PRF versus 9.1% for the control group. At 90 days, both groups showed total recovery. The control group experienced higher pain level and discomfort until the 14th day, being notably higher on the second day. Conclusion The results suggest that A-PRF membranes haste the healing process, and promote greater reduction along the recovery period and less painful postoperative period.
