Outline of Final Research Achievements

Abnormal scar formations such as hypertrophic scars and keloids in skin wound healing significantly affect patients' quality of life (QOL). In particular, excessive tension on the wound site influences myofibroblasts and contributes to abnormal scar development. Although current approaches aim to promote healing by relieving mechanical tension, the optimal timing and methods of intervention remain unclear. In this study, we used a murine skin wound model to examine the relationship between tension and wound healing by observing wound contraction, myofibroblast dynamics, and gap junction distribution. The results suggest that applying wound dressings to alleviate tension promotes the proper regression of myofibroblasts and may help prevent abnormal scar formation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で注目した創部の張力を緩和する看護ケアは、異常な瘢痕形成を防ぐ非侵襲的な介入方法であり、手術の回避や患者の身体的・精神的負担の軽減につながる可能性がある。創傷治癒に対する看護ケアの組織細胞学的な作用を解明することで、科学的根拠に基づいた具体的なケア方法の開発が期待される。また、筋線維芽細胞や血管内皮細胞の機能との関連を明らかにし、個々の患者の状態に応じた張力緩和や血圧管理、生活指導などの介入方法を考案することで、看護の介入効果を高めることができる。こうした研究を積み重ねることで、臨床応用が進み、患者のQOL向上に大きく寄与することが期待される。
