| Research Abstract |
Hydrocellular foam dressing has been reported to keep wound exudate at wound surface and promote wound healing; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects remain unknown. In the present study, we used an animal model to examine the effect of hydrocellular foam dressing (HCF) on wound healing and its regulatory mechanisms related to the concentration and component changes in cytokine and /or growth factor levels in the exudate. Two full-thickness wounds were created in the dorsolateral skin of rats and each wound was covered with either a hydrocellular foam dressing or the film dressing. Wound exudate and periwound skin samples were collected to analyze. We suggested that HCF upregulated the leptin level in the exudate at wound surface, and these effects contribute to wound healing.
