Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin in the Treatment of Facial and Cervical Hypertrophic Scar: A Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Maxillofacial-neck hyperplastic scars have long been a persistent concern among individuals in both Western and Eastern countries. These scars exhibit rapid growth within 3-6 months following wound healing, subsequently receding at a slower pace, leading to skin redness, tension, and potential itching. The lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the formation mechanism and biological attributes of these scars has made them a prominent subject of research both domestically and internationally.

Effects of Nanoparticle-Mediated Dihydromyricetin to Diabetic Wounds: An In Vivo Study.

Diabetic wound is one of the serious complications of diabetes, and the wound is persistent and easily recurring, which seriously endangers the health and life of patients. How to effectively promote the healing of diabetic wounds has been a hot spot and difficult area of clinical research. Some previous studies have shown that dihydromyricetin has the effects of regulating blood glucose, controlling the severity, and inhibiting scarring.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Caffeine Hydrogel on the Expression of TGF -β1, α-SMA and Collagen in Hypertrophic Scar of Rabbit Ears.

This study evaluated the effects of topical use of caffeine hydrogel on hypertrophic scar in a rabbit ear wound model. Nine rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group, caffeine hydrogel group, and matrix group. Punched defects were established on each rabbit's ear which resulted in a hypertrophic scar.
