Research Abstract	The wound is divided to acute wound and chronic wound. The treatment is totally different in between these two types of wound. We focused on the exudates of wound and try to analyze and control it. First, exudates were analyzed with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and it was cleared that a lots of amount of albumin and IgG were contained in the exudates. To more extensive analysis, we had to eliminate the effect of these proteins. Second, we established a new method of wound treatment which showed a lot of exudates. We continuously supplied the air in to the dressing and brew up the moisture. Under this method, the exudates were well controlled and guided to the cure of intractable chronic wound.
