| Research Abstract |
We produced the experimental pressure ulcer model rat to clear the mechanism of pressure ulcers. Repeated compression at 50mmHg for 4 hours did not cause the macroscopic and microscopic alteration. But, repeated compression at 100mmHg for 4 hours induces the destruction of skin and ulcer formation. Expression of IL-1beta, which is an inflammatory cytokine, was not changed at 50mmHg compression. Compression at 100mmHg cause high expression of IL-1beta, and increased with compression times. TNF-alpha was not changed at 50mmHg compression ,and slightly increased at 100mmHg compression.
Inhibition of inflammatory cytokine may have possibility to prevent the pressure ulcers.
