Since its introduction, low level lasers have been utilized in many varied clinical applications for the treatment of musculoskeletal and body surface lesions. Due to the laser beams specific characteristic-coherence, monochromaticity and unidirectionality, without adverse reaction with neighbouring tissue, physicians have used it with relative ease. We observed accelerating effects of healing process of some intractable skin wound, improvement of graft survival, as well as reduction of pain on ulcerating tissues, by treating twice weekly with low level Helium-Neon(He-Ne) and Infrared(IR) laser. The laser's energy density was set at $1\;J/cm^2$ and a fixed frequency of 600 Hz by continuous scanning. Irradiating time was calculated according to the cross diameter of the wound. Further clinical work will be required to evaluate the accelerated healing processes by biostimulating mechanisms of laser ray, especially for the intractable(diabetic) skin ulceration.

In the present study, we evaluated the in vitro wound-healing properties of two types of rice cell extracts (RCEs; prepared using ethanol and pressurized hot water extraction methods), using human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes. The effects of the RCEs (at 25–100 μg/ml) on cytotoxicity and cell migration were assessed. Both RCEs were not cytotoxic to the two cell types, instead increasing their proliferation by up to 25% in a dose-dependent manner compared with the controls. Furthermore, both RCEs significantly enhanced the migratory ability of the two cell types (fibroblast, 230–450%; keratinocyte, 170–350%). Additionally, we examined the effect of the RCEs on type I collagen synthesis, which is important in the wound reconstruction process. The RCEs significantly increased collagen type I mRNA and protein levels to a degree comparable to that induced by vitamin C. These results suggest the RCEs to be candidate materials for use in promoting wound healing, through their actions of increasing cell migration and accelerating wound re-epithelialization.

The objective of the present study is to detect the effect of ${\beta}$-glucan originated from Aureobasidium on the proliferation and collagen production in human dermal fibroblast cells with wound repopulation in vitro. The proliferative effects were assessed using a MTT assay as well as cell counts at 24 and 48 hr after treatment. Hydroxyproline was measured as an index of procollagen production with reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Oncostatin M was used as a reference agent. In glucagon treated group, dose-dependent and significant increase of optical density or fibroblast cell numbers was demonstrated, when compared with those of control from 0.1 mg/ml concentration. In addition, the numbers of cells which had migrated into the wound defects were more significantly and dose-dependently increased than those of non-treated control. However, no meaningful effects on the procollagen production were observed.

An acellular human dermal matrix (ADM) was applied to wounds from dogs with significant dead space and delayed healing. This treatment is typically effective for the treatment of wounds with subcutaneous dead space and injuries between muscular planes. The size of the dead space defect and the amount of wound discharge decreased rapidly with ADM treatment in the present study. The average time to disappearance of the dead space defect was 10 days. In addition, complications including severe inflammation were not seen in this case report.

본 연구에서는 904nm의 다이오드 레이저를 발치창에 조사하여 효과를 분석하교, 동물실험에서 제시된 가설 즉 레이저 광조사가 주위정상조직을 자극하여 창상치유를 촉진하고 진통, 항염증효과가 있는지를 확인하고저 하였다. 먼저 19명의 발치환자에게 발치후 즉시 1분간 평균 14mW의 저수준레이저를 조사하였다. 이들중 8명은 대조군으로서 위조사(sham-irradiation)하였다. 일주일동안 시간경과에 따른 동통의 정도, 진통제의 사용횟수, 진통제 사용기간등을 각각조사하였다. Visual analogue scale로 두근에서 동통의 정도를 비교한 결과 대조군 보다 레이저 조사군에서 동통이 유의하게 감소하였으며, 진통제의 사용횟수가 기간도 레이저조사군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 비록 1분간의 적은 량의 레이저 조사라도 발치후 합병증을 억제하여 동통을 억제하고 치유를 촉진한다고 사료된다.

A 5-year-old intact female mixed dog was admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital for reconstructive surgery of traumatic oronasal communication in the palatal region after suffering a facial gunshot injury. The surgical procedure involved making buccal mucosal flaps as well as a transposition flap of the hard palate mucoperiosteum from the tissue adjacent to the defect, followed by applying a prosthetic appliance to protect the surgical flaps. A satisfactory outcome was obtained using a palatal prosthesis.
