ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the effect of combining hyperbaric oxygen inhalation with wet healing in the treatment of chronic refractory ulcers of the skin.Methods:
Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly formed into a general treatment group (group A), a wet healing group (group B), and a hyperbaric oxygen + wet healing group (group C), each of 20. Chronic and refractory skin ulcers were induced on all of the rats after one week of routine feeding and 6 hours of fasting. Six courses (once daily for 10 days/course)of the three treatments were then administered. After 2, 4 and 6 courses of treatment the wound healing rate and recovery were analyzed using histopathological methods.Results:
After 2, 4 and 6 courses of treatment, the average wound healing rates of groups B and C were significantly higher than group A′s average, and that of group C was significantly better than that of group B. After 6 courses of treatment, group C′s average histopathology score was significantly higher than that of group B, and those of groups B and C were both significantly higher than group A′s average.Conclusion:
Single wet healing is better than common treatment for chronic skin ulcers, but hyperbaric oxygen inhalation can further improve its effectiveness.
