There are fibroblasts for burn patients

Le Huu Trac Institute of Central Burns has successfully studied fibroblasts, a type of cell that has important effects in regenerating skin and healing wounds that cannot be recovered. This study has helped the patients with deep burns, wide-area conditions to be treated because ever, Vietnam has never imported this type of product because the price is too high.

The baby was transplanted with fibroblasts due to boiling water burns, all deep burns of the legs and feet. She was hospitalized for nearly 10 days and had a fibroblast transplant once, today is the second. I will be discharged. The reason he was discharged from the hospital was thanks to the method of fibroblast transplantation. This type of cell is indispensable for skin regeneration and wound healing.

If the patient's wound is small, the fibroblasts available in the body may help to heal itself, but if the burn is wide and deep, the ability to self-healing is impossible. This is an initial success in a series of research projects to produce biofilms towards artificial skin. Thanks to this research, many burn patients have been rescued promptly and recovered quickly.

Dr.Dinh Van Han - Deputy Head of the Pediatrics Department - Central Burn Institute said: "To be able to make a fibroblast, scientists will have to take a 1cm ² skin sample of the sick or the skin of The skin will be cultured in a specialized environment, and after about 4 weeks, the fibroblast will be formed because the skin is of the same type so the patient can take it So, after 3 days, the patient's skin graft request could be met instead of waiting for 4 weeks, up to now, 80 patients have been cured. by fibroblast method, all patients who have not recovered from the disease have no sequelae or disability as before ".

According to scientists, this study is not only for the treatment of burns, but can also be used for many other diseases such as chronic ulcers for long-term treatment of non-stop, sequelae of diabetes or injury. due to radiation exposure. Although the study of fibroblasts has been successful, scientists still continue to research them to be able to provide convenience to patients and especially the right price.
