Clinical observations have suggested that wound healing may be altered in patients treated with systemic isotretinoin. In this study, we examined the effects of systemic isotretinoin on dermal wound healing and connective tissue metabolism in a rabbit ear model. Forty 6-mm punch-biopsy wounds were created in the ears of two control rabbits as well as two experimental animals fed isotretinoin, 4 mg/kg per day. Clinical inspection and histologic examination revealed no difference between the control and isotretinoin-treated rabbits in terms of the time required for complete wound healing or the appearance of the final scar. The tissue removed from the wound site at days 0, 7, 14, and 21 after wounding was subjected to analysis of a collagen production and collagen gene expression. Collagen production, determined by the synthesis of [3H]hydroxyproline after incubation of tissue slices with [3H]proline in vitro or by the measurement of the steady-state levels of types I and III procollagen mRNAs, was not significantly different between the two groups. The results indicate that systemic administration of isotretinoin does not affect collagen synthesis in the rabbit ear model of wound healing.

Purpose Of The Study: Open (incisional) biopsies have long been accepted as the gold standard in diagnosing bone and soft tissue tumors. However, the main disadvantage of this method is that it can lead to increased contamination, hematoma, infection, and pathological fracture. Compared to open biopsies, percutaneous core needle biopsies are less invasive, do not require hospitalization, have low costs and low complication rates, and there is no need for wound healing in cases that require radiotherapy.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) demonstrates significant potential in cancer treatment, wound healing, and antibacterial therapy, with its efficacy largely depending on the performance of photothermal agents (PTAs). Metal-phenolic network (MPN) materials are ideal PTA candidates due to their low cost, good biocompatibility and excellent ligand-to-metal charge transfer properties. However, not all MPNs exhibit significant photothermal properties, and the vast chemical space of MPNs (over 700,000 potential combinations) complicates the screening of high-photothermal materials.
