Methods Collagen synthesis of cultured human keloid and normal fibroblasts were detected by hydroxyproline colorimetric analysis. Immunocytochemical staining was used to investigate collagen I and III expression, mRNA expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ, and transforming growth factor （ TGF）-β1 were assayed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and real-time PCR. Results Quercetin inhibited the collagen synthesis of both keloid and normal fibroblasts in a dose-dependent man- ner. Immunocytochemical staining indicated that collagenⅠ and Ⅲ were down-regulated by quercetin and X-ray （P 〈 0.05 ）, particularly collagen I （ P 〈 0. 05 ）. mRNA expression of both collagen I and III in quercetin groups significantly decreased compared with that in control group （ P 〈 0. 05 ）, especially in the group treated with both quercetin and X-ray （ P 〈 0. 01 ）. mRNA level of TGF-[31 gene was down-regulated by quercertin （ P 〈 0. 05 ）. Conclusions Quercetin will probably be one of the new medicines which could effectively treat keloid. Quercetin combined with X-ray could reduce the dose of radiation.展开更多

The experiment consists to work out the time optimum to yield a minimum scar formation. Methods By means of transmitting electronic microscope (TEM), computer assisted three-dimensional morphometry (CAM), and biochemical analysis to determine the extracellular collagen volume density (ECVD) and biochemical collagen content (BCC), to analyze the ultrastructure and components within scar tissues removed from the specimens in 3 groups of experimental animals were detailed. Results In the animals of simple choledoco-jejunostomy (CJ) group, active scar proliferation was seen in all specimens excised within one year after operation. In the stent group, decreasing collagen fibers arranged in orientation began to appear in the 6-month specimens and scar maturation existed in the 9- and 12-month specimens. In periodic tube withdrawal group, 3 months following tube ablation, scar proliferation recurred in the 6th month tube retaining animals, whereas scar maturation without recurrence happened in animals following 9 to 12 months tube retaining. Conclusion 9～12 months of tube stent is necessary for stable scar maturation.展开更多
