wounds. Although wound contraction is beneficial to wound healing, contraction of large open wounds across joint surfaces can lead to limitation of motion secondary to contractures. Contractures are commonly seen in burn wounds in the submental and neck areas, axillae, elbows, and other joint ...
DBMMH In,FAM Van Alphen,AM Kuijpers-Jagtman,JC Maltha 摘要: The effect of implantation of poly-(L-lactic) acid membranes on wound healing and wound contraction after palatal surgery was investigated macroscopically in beagle dogs. Thirty beagle dogs were randomly assigned to two experimental ...
Photocrosslinkable chitosan hydrogel containing fibroblast growth factor-2 stimulates wound healing in healing-impaired db/db mice Application of the chitosan hydrogel significantly induced wound contraction and accelerated wound closure in both mice. However, the addition of FGF-2 in ... K Obara,M ...
, such as happens with skin and bone; and by formation of ascar, consisting of fibrous structures with some degree of contraction. Since most wounds extend to more than one type of tissue, complete regeneration is impossible; therefore, scar formation is an expected outcome of wound healing....
Most of the research in our own laboratory has been aimed at improving the clinical results of cleft palate habilitation. A primary goal has been to develop surgical methods for doing very early surgical repairs without interfering with the involved tissues' potential for continuing normal growth, ...
Wounds heal by various processes such as coagulation, inflammation, matrix synthesis and deposition, angiogenesis, fibroplasia, epithelialization, contraction, and remodeling.27 The Wound Healing Society has stated that when wounds proceed through these processes in an orderly and timely manner and ...
be seen to have covered the cut edges of the subcutaneous tissue. Gradually a pearly, grayish, thin membrane extends out from the skin edge; eventually it covers the whole surface. The actual area of the wound, meanwhile, is steadily reduced by a process of contraction; finally, there is ...

Though all phases of wound healing have been modeled, previous work has focused mostly on the proliferation and related contraction phases of healing with fewer results presented regarding other phases. As an example, a gap in the literature has been identified regarding models to describe ...
