Application of Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor to Effective Treatment of Scalds
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Residents of a developed society enjoy various kinds of new residential, commercial and industrial developments. Many of these developments, however, may get us exposed potentially to hazardous accidents upon applications. Among them, burns and scalds are probably the most commonly encountered incidents [1-3]. For example, electric appliances like sprinklers, kettles, hot pot cookers, steam/dry irons, etc., may produce overheating contact point(s), liquid or vapor that causes damages to the skin on various parts of our body. Among patients of scald injuries, babies are the most common victims and hot drinks are the leading cause of scalds [1].

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that is functional in the survival, maintenance and differentiation of nervous system cells. This protein has three subunits, of which the beta subunit has the main activity. Its structure consists of a cysteine knot motif made up of beta strands linked by disulfide bonds. It can be used as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases....

Mucositis of the oral cavity and pharynx is a major dose-limiting factor in the application of radiotherapy (RT) to patients with head and neck cancer. Therefore, we evaluated the wound healing effect of human recombinant epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in head and neck cancer and lymphoma patients with irradiation (with or without combined chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis). Patients at Asan...
