Abstract:
Objective To determine the changes of elements in scars and study the pathological mechanism of hypertrophic scar . Methods The Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe and Cu contents of blood and normal skin in patients without scar (group A, n = 12), of blood, normal skin and flat scar (group B, n = 8) and of blood, normal skin and hypertrophic scar (group C, n = 12) were determined with a GGX-5 model of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results ① There were no differences between the contents of the five elements of blood and normal skin in all patients. ② In group B , the contents of the five elements of flat scar are the same as that in normal skin of the same patient . ③ In group C , the contents of the five elements of hypertrophic scar were lower than that of the normal skin of the same patient . Conclusion The cause of the changes of element contents in hypertrophic scar lies in local wounded tissues instead of the whole body of the patient.
