Issues surrounding wound healing have garnered deep scientific interest as well as booming financial markets invested in novel wound therapies. Much progress has been made in the field, but it is unsurprising to find that recent successes reveal new challenges to be addressed. With regard to wound healing, large tissue deficits, recalcitrant wounds, and pathological scar formation remain but a few of our most pressing challenges. Stem cell-based therapies have been heralded as a promising means by which to surpass current limitations in wound management. The wide differentiation potential of stem cells allows for the possibility of restoring lost or damaged tissue, while their ability to immunomodulate the wound bed from afar suggests that their clinical applications need not be restricted to direct tissue formation. The clinical utility of stem cells has been demonstrated across dozens of clinical trials in chronic wound therapy, but there is hope that other aspects of wound care will inherit similar benefit. Scientific inquiry into stem cell-based wound therapy abounds in research labs around the world. While their clinical applications remain in their infancy, the heavy investment in their potential makes it a worthwhile subject to review for plastic surgeons, in terms of both their current and future applications.

Soluble Components

Normal wound healing progresses through inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling phases in response to tissue injury. Collagen, a key component of the extracellular matrix, plays critical roles in the regulation of the phases of wound healing either in its native, fibrillar conformation or as soluble components in the wound milieu. Impairments in any of these phases stall the wound in a chronic, non-healing state that typically requires some form of intervention to guide the process back to completion. Key factors in the hostile environment of a chronic wound are persistent inflammation, increased destruction of ECM components caused by elevated metalloproteinases and other enzymes and improper activation of soluble mediators of the wound healing process. Collagen, being central in the regulation of several of these processes, has been utilized as an adjunct wound therapy to promote healing. In this work the significance of collagen in different biological processes relevant to wound healing are reviewed and a summary of the current literature on the use of collagen-based products in wound care is provided.

Abstract BackgroundWound infections are a global public health challenge, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. Poor wound care results delayed wound healing process and wound infections. Improving the knowledge and practice of wound care is paramount to reduce wound infection. However, there is no study done in Ethiopia. This study was aimed to assess the knowledge and practices of nurses who worked at Felege Hiwot Specialized Hospital towards wound healing and care. MethodsA survey was conducted among 180 nurses worked in Felegehiwot specialized hospital during January 1 to 30, 2018. The study participants were selected through simple random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the study participants. Both Bivariable and multivariable ordinal logistic regression was done and proportional odds ratio (POR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported to show the strength of association. A p-value < 0.05 was used to declare statistically significant.ResultIn this study, 34 (18.7%) and 17 (9.3%) of nurses have a good knowledge and practice on wound healing and care. While 41.8% and nearly three-fourths (60%) of the participants have a poor level of knowledge and practice on wound care respectively. Working experience of fewer than 5 years (aPOR 0.42, 95% CI: 1.11, 2.72), working in the surgical ward (aPOR 5.45, 95 % CI: 1.61, 2.21) and in the emergency department (aPOR, 0.26, 95%CI: 0.03, 0.18) were significant factors of knowledge of wound care. While, get training (aPOR 1.9, 95% CI: 0.59, 0.87) and good knowledge (aPOR 5.56, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.26) on wound care increased the level of practice. ConclusionsThe knowledge and practice of wound care of nurses were found to be poor. Above two-fifth of nurses doesn’t provide predischarge education on wound care. For this, provision of a structured preservice and in-service training and education program on wound healing and care, improve nurses educational level or experience sharing, establish and put in place wound healing and care guideline and assessment tools in hospitals and conduct the further qualitative study the level of wound care practice was recommended.
