Open skin wounds were made in 28 Wistar rats, and the changes of the connective tissue cells were observed by electron microscopy during wound healing. The fibroblasts and macrophages were increased in the early stage, later on the fibroblasts might be transformed into myofibroblasts which became preponderant cells in the wound gradually and led to wound contraction and scar formation. The intercellular substances were phagocytosed by fibroclasts simultaneously. The mast cells were closely apposed to the fibroblasts or myofibroblasts and represented active functions, such as degranulation. Considerably they released the granule contents to the extracellular space and effected the other cells functions. It shows that the cells mentioned above interplay and take part in the wound healing.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nonsurgical methods in early postnatal correction of congenital auricle malformation.Methods:The clinical trials regarding non-surgical treatment for congenital ear deformity published before May 2021 were searched in databases of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang. The information of included studies was extracted. The Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 15 trials were included, involving 1 349 patients. The Meta-analysis results showed that the effect of the group <6 weeks was better than the group over 6 weeks ( OR=4.67, 95% CI: 3.21, 6.78, Z=8.09, P<0.001); The complications incidence of the group < 6 weeks was lower than the group over 6 weeks ( OR=0.27, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.88, Z=2.18, P=0.03); The correction time required of the group <6 weeks was shorter than the group over 6 weeks ( MD=-11.81, 95% CI: -18.36, -5.26, Z=3.54, P=0.001). Conclusions:Non-surgical correction of congenital ear malformation within 6 weeks after birth has better efficacy and safety.
