ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor as an adjuvant therapy on scar alleviation and inflammatory cytokines in patients with atrophic acne scar. Methods The random number table was employed to randomly assign 120 patients with atrophic acne scar into a test group and a control group.Both groups of patients were treated with CO2 lattice laser.After the operation,the control group was routinely smeared with erythromycin ointment and the test group was coated with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel.The clinical efficacy,clinical indicators,scar alleviation,and inflammatory cytokine levels before and after treatment were compared,and adverse reactions were counted. Results The test group had higher total effective rate(P=0.040) and lower total incidence of adverse reactions(P=0.028) than the control group.Compared with the control group,the test group showcased short erythema duration after treatment(P=0.025),early scab forming(P=0.002),and early edema regression(P<0.001).After treatment,the proportion of grade 1 scars graded by Goodman and Baron's acne scar grading system in the test group and control group increased(P=0.001,P=0.027),and the proportion of grade 4 scars decreased(P<0.001,P=0.034).Moreover,the proportion of grade 1 scars in the test group was higher than that in the control group(P=0.031) after treatment,and the proportion of grade 4 scars presented an opposite trend(P=0.031).After treatment,the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in both groups declined(all P<0.001),and the test group had lower TNF-α and IL-1β levels than the control group(all P<0.001). Conclusion The recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel as an adjuvant therapy of CO2 lattice laser can effectively alleviate the atrophic acne scar,relieve local inflammatory reaction,and has good curative effect and less adverse reactions.

@#AIM: To explore the effect of artificial tears combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor(rbFGF)on ocular surface function and inflammatory factors in patients with cataract complicated with xerophthalmia.<p>METHODS: A total of 118 cataract patients(118 eyes)with dry eyes treated in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were randomly divided into control group(<i>n</i>=59)and observation group(<i>n</i>=59). The control group was treated with artificial tears before operation and the observation group was treated with artificial tears combined with rbFGF before operation. The clinical symptom score, ocular surface function index \〖ocular surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire score, break up time(BUT), schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt), fluorescein stain test(FL)\〗, inflammatory factors in tears \〖interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)\〗 and oxidative stress indexes \〖malondialdehyde(MDA), lipid peroxide(LPO), superoxide dismutase(SOD), total antioxidant capacity(TAC)\〗 were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The random walking model was used to evaluate the ocular surface function and the level of inflammatory factors in tears of the two groups.<p>RESULTS: Before treatment, there was no significant difference in clinical symptom score, OSDI, BUT, SⅠt, FL, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, SOD, LPO and TAC between the two groups. Thirty days after treatment, the clinical symptom score, OSDI, FL, TNF-α, IL-6, MDA and LPO levels in two groups were significantly decreased, while the levels of BUT, SⅠt, SOD and TAC were significantly increased. The improvement of clinical symptom score, ocular surface function, inflammatory factors and oxidative stress in the observation group were significantly better than that in the control group.<p>CONCLUSION: Preoperative intervention with artificial tears combined with rbFGF can significantly improve the ocular surface function of cataract patients with xerophthalmia, reduce the level of inflammatory factors in tears, improve the symptoms of xerophthalmia, and provide reference for the clinical treatment of cataract with xerophthalmia.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of compound glycyrrhizin tablets combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel in the treatment of facial hormone-dependent dermatitis. Methods:Totally 108 patients with facial hormone-dependent dermatitis were selected randomly and divided into the control group(n = 54) and the treatment group(n =54). The control group was treated with desloratadine and 0.1% tacrolimus ointment;and the treatment group was treated with compound glycyrrhizin tablets combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel additionally on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the improvement of symptoms and objective signs before and after the treatment was compared. The adverse reactions were recorded as well. Results:The total effective rate of the treatment group after one-month and two-month treatment was 75.93% and 90.74%, respectively, which were both higher than those of the control group(P < 0.05). The scores of symptoms and objective signs and the total scores of disease of the treatment group after one-month and two-month treatment and two-month follow-up were all lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05). The disappearance time of objective signs and the incidence of facial adverse reactions were both lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P < 0.05),however, the incidence of dry mouth in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P < 0.05). Conclusion:Compound glycyrrhizin tablets combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel has better clinical effect for the therapy of facial hormone-dependent dermatitis,which can improve the symptoms significantly with high application security.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the treatment effect of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) in patients with gingivitis and its influence on gingival sulcus bleeding index. Methods Sixty-eight patients with gingivitis treated in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (34 cases) and observation group (34 cases). The control group were given basic periodontal therapy, while the observation group were treated with rb-bFGF. The clinical effects, gingival sulcus bleeding index (SBI) before and after treatment, and the recurrence were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the total effective rate (97.06%) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (70.59%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The SBI of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 1 and 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of the observation group (5.88%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (23.53%) (P<0.05). The incidence of complications such as pain, periodontal abscess, bromopnea and loosening was significantly lower in the observation group (8.82%) than in the control group (32.35%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion After rb-bFGF treatment, the symptoms of toothache and gingival swelling disappear, normal function of teeth is restored, gingival sulcus bleeding improves significantly, with fewer adverse reactions and obvious clinical effect.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To compare and analyze the effect of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF ) eye drops and hydroxyl indican eye drops on the tear film stability and dry eye symptoms after age-related cataract surgery. ·METHODS: A total of 115 patients ( 115 affected eyes ) with dry eyes after age-related cataract surgery were divided into the bFGF group, the hydroxyl indican group and the blank control group by the random number table method. The blank control group was only given routine anti-inflammatory treatment, and on the basis, the bFGF group and the hydroxyl indican group were treated with bFGF eye drops and hydroxyl indican eye drops respectively. The clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, changes in scores of dry eye symptoms, Schirmer test ( SⅠt) , tear film break- up time ( BUT ) and corneal fluorescein staining ( CFS) scores at different time points were compared among the three groups. ·RESULTS:The total markedly effective rates in the bFGF group ( 89. 5%) was higher than that in the hydroxyl indican group ( 70. 3%) or the blank control group (47. 5%) (P<0. 05). Scores of dry eye symptoms, CFS, SⅠt and BUT in the three groups at 2 and 5wk after surgery were significantly different (P<0. 05). The above-mentioned indexes in the bFGF group at 2 and 5wk after surgery were significantly better than those in the hydroxyl indican group and the blank control group, and better in the hydroxyl indican group than the blank control group ( P < 0. 05 ). There were no obvious adverse reactions. ·CONCLUSION: The tear film is unstable in early stage after age-related cataract surgery, and there are dry eye symptoms. The intervention with bFGF eye drops and hydroxyl indican eye drops can effectively restore the tear film stability and significantly relieve dry eye symptoms, and the effect of bFGF eye drops is more significant.
ABSTRACT
Background The study on eye surface damage following phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is increasingly concerned,and these symptoms were associated with dry eye and often treated by polyethylene glycol eyedrops to remit the discomfortableness.Recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) eyedrops contains neurotrophic factors, but its effect on eye surface damage is worth researching.Objective This study was to evaluate the repair effects of rb-bFGF on ocular surface injury after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation.Methods A randomized controlled trail was designed.Ninety eyes of 72 consecutive patients with age-related cataract were enrolled in Fenyang Hospital of Shanxi Province from September 2010 to August 2013 under the informed consent.Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation was performed on all the eyes, and tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drops was used for 15 days as basis therapy.According to the treatment sequence,the operative eyes were assigned to rb-bFGF eyedrops group, polyethylene glycol eyedrops group and basis therapy group.rb-bFGF drops and polyethylene glycol drops were topically administered 4 times per day since the first day after surgery for consecutive 30 days in corresponding group,and only basis therapy was maintained in the basis therapy grouply.Corneal fluorescence (FL) staining scores,breakup time of tear film (BUT) and Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t) without topical anesthesia were examined in 1 day before operation and 1 day,7 days, 15 days and 30 days after operation.The efficacy was intergrouply compared.Results No significant differences were seen in the demography and the relevant surface examinational outcomes among the rb-bFGF group, polyethylene glycol drops group and the basis therapy group before surgery (age : F =1.50;gender :x2 =0.336, both at ＞ 0.05;FL : F =0.31;BUT:F =0.65;S Ⅰ t: F =0.57;all at P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the before operation, FL scores were obviously increased,and BUT values were reduced and S Ⅰ t values were elavated in all the eyes early stage of surgey and then gradually improved with the lapse of postoperative time, showing significant differences (Ftime =7.83,7.32,7.17, all at P＜0.01).The FL scores,BUT and S Ⅰ t in 15 days after surgery in the rb-bFGF drops group and 30 days after surgery in the polyethylene glycol drops group was closed to those of before surgery (all at P＞0.05).However,there were still significant differences between the before and after operation in the basis were closed to those of before surgery therapy group (all at P＜0.05).In addition, significant differences were found in corneal FL scores, BUT and S Ⅰ t among these three groups (Fgroup =5.08,4.15,4.61, all at P＜0.05).In postoperative 15 days and 30 days, the S Ⅰ t values were (12.32±1.18) and (11.32±1.98) mm/5 rmin,which were significantly lower than (14.36±1.77) and (13.36±2.32) mm/5 min in the polyethylene glycol drops group and (17.25 ±2.24) and (13.25 ±2.53) mm/5 min in the basis therapy group (all at P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The topical application of rb-bFGF combined with tobramycin and dexamethasone eyedrops can improve the dry eye-related symptoms and promote the repair of the ocular surface injury after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation,and the clinical efficacy of rb-bFGF eyedrops is better than that of polyethylene glycol eyedrops or only tobramycin and dexamethasone eyedrops.
