چکیده
BACKGROUND Numerous proangiogenic growth factors have been shown to improve impaired wound healing. This study evaluated the effects of subcutaneous pretreatment with a combination of proangiogenic growth factors on wound closure, mechanical properties, vessel density, and morphology. METHODS Thirty-six Balb/c mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were divided into 3 groups. A mixture of VEGF (35.0 μg), bFGF (2.5 μg), and PDGF (3.5 μg) was administered subcutaneously 3, 5, and 7 days prior to wounding in the first group, whereas the second group received three doses of 3.5 μg PDGF. Wound sizes were assessed daily and the repaired tissues were harvested 7 days after wound closure. RESULTS Complete closure (≥95% healing of initial wound area) was reached in all proangiogenic pretreated animals by day 17, whereas the PDGF monotherapy group needed up to 20 days for complete closure. By the time of tissue harvesting on day 24, complete closure was not reached in all control animals. Punch biopsy material revealed 1.6-fold higher vessel densities in the proangiogenic combination-pretreated group than in the controls. CONCLUSIONS Proangiogenic priming revealed several significant effects on diabetic wound healing: faster time to closure, a higher vessel density, and improved functional outcome.

Priming with proangiogenic growth factors and endothelial progenitor cells improves revascularization in linear diabetic wounds
In the present study, we investigated whether proangiogenic growth factors and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) induce favourable effects on cutaneous incisional wound healing in diabetic mice. The proangiogenic effects of human EPCs were initially analyzed using a HUVEC in vitro angiogenesis assay and an in vivo Matrigel assay in nude mice (n=12). For the diabetic wound model, 48 Balb/c mic...

Introduction: Several factors such as diseases, medications and humoral agents can delay or speed up wound healing process. Because of the limited information about the hormonal changes during wound healing, in this study the relationship between serum levels of growth hormone, insulin and cortisol and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats was evaluated. Methods: Male Wistar rats )weigh...

Abstract Background and purpose: Delayed wound healing is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. However, less is known about the cause of this pathology. Types of skin cells, extracellular matrix and variety of growth factors are involved in wound healing. The use of recombinant growth factors in researches and production of skin substitutes are still a challenge. Much research has bee...
