Abstract:
Maduxin ointment is totally extracts from the leaves of the Maduca pasquieri and has been applied in burn treatment in Vietnam since 1987. We studied the effects of Maduxin on the collagenization at burn wounds by following up the changes of OH-Pro content at slaked lime burn wounds - a popular type of burn in Vietnam in comparison with the effects of SSD in burn treatment. Our study was carried out in 21 slaked lime burn patients who were treated at the Vietnam Burn Institute from May to September 1997. The results indicated that OH-Pro concentration increases related to collagen synthesis during the burn wound healing. In the slaked lime burn wounds treated by Maduxin OH-Pro level in burn tissue increases more than in the wounds treated by Silvesufadiazin during the healing.
