Numerous growth factors are involved in the regulation of tissue repair and remodelling processes. In this study, several techniques were used to observe the effects of recombinant human epidermal growth factors (rh-EGF) on porcine partial-thickness burn wound healing. Healing rates of the burn wounds were quantitated by computer image analysis of the wound Pkotographs. Biopsies were taken for examining the cell DNA cycle by flow cytometry, and for observing the keratinocyte migration and degree of reepithelialization quantitated by anti-keratin antibodies. The results indicated that daily topical application of rh-EGF in suitable concentrations accelerated epithelial healing of partial-thickness burn wounds, and there was also a dose-dependent effect of rh-EGF on healing rates of the partial-thickness burn wounds.展开更多

Methods: The expression of EGF, TGF-( and EGFR were studied by immunohisto-chemical method on paraffin-embedded sections of 30 cases pituitary tumor. Results: EGFR and its ligands EGF, TGF-( expressed in majority of pituitary tumors. The expression of EGFR and its ligands varied with cells' intensity, density and type. Conclusion: The EGF autocrine stimulating exerted in the pituitary tumor development process, that tyrosine kinases inhibitors may be useful for pituitary tumors treatment.展开更多

Methods: Fifty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, injury group and capsaicin group. In the injury group, a full thickness skin wound on the back of the rat was taken. The wound edge and granulation tissues were taken on the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th days after injury, respectively. In the capsaicin group, capsaicin was injected subcutaneously on the back of the rats to destroy the sensory nerve to prevent the secretion of SP, then a wound and sample was made in the same way. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were employed to detect the expression of SP, EGF/EGFR, and EGF mRNA/EGFR mRNA in the granulation tissues. Results: In the injury group, immunohistochemical stain of SP and EGF/EGFR was located on the hair follicles and sebaceous glands at the 1st day. And the stain of SP was obvious at the 3rd day in the granulation tissues, then decreased gradually. EGF/EGFR was at low level at the 3rd day, then increased gradually and reached the peak at the 9th day, then declined. In the capsaicin group, the immunohistochemical stain of SP and EGF/EGFR was faint and without obvious change during the wound healing process. The tendency of the EGF mRNA/EGFR mRNA expression was similar to that of EGF/EGFR.Conclusions: During wound healing, SP may promote the healing process by affecting the expression of EGF/EGFR in the granuation tissues.展开更多

Methods: Seventy-eight patients were divided into group A in which the patients were treated with saline to serve as the control, group B in which the patients were treated with EGF and group C treated with PDWHF. General healing practice was administered. Wound closure index, healing rate and histological changes of the ulcerative wounds of the patients were observed in the treatment period of 8 weeks. Results:The wond closure index and healing rate were more significantly increased in groups B and C than in group A of the control with far more angiogenesis , fibroblast hyperplasia and collagen deposition in the former than in the latter. The therapeutic effects of PDWHF seemed to be superior to those of EGF.Conclusion :It is suggested that the local application of a certain growth factor or of a combination of several growth factors in an efficient management to improve the healing of diabetic cutaneous ulcers.展开更多
