EFFECT OF XENOGRAFTS SATURATED WITH SILVERNANOCRYSTALS ON HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN IN THE DYNAMICS OF EXPERIMENTAL THERMAL INJURY.

The aim of this study was to establish histological state of the components of the affected area of skin in cases of application of xenograft saturated with silver nanocrystals in the dynamics after experimental thermal injury. The study was performed on 54 adult guinea pigs following the rules of bioethics. Experimental animals were divided into two groups: the 1st - animals with severe thermal injury (27); the 2nd - animals with burn injury (27), in which the wounds were covered with xenograft after early necrectomy of the damaged tissues.
