|
Objectives: Burn is a severe dermal injury caused by heat. We were to investigated the effects of acupuncture or pharmacopunture treatment for the histologic and morphologic recovery on the mouse with the 3rd grade burn skin.
Methods: We divided into 3 groups. One was a control group(n=3) that was not treated any treatments. Another was a acupuncture group(n=3) that was treated only acupuncture. The other was a pharmacopuncture group(n=3) that was treated only pharmacopuncture. We made a 3rd grade burned skin with the stainless steel heating apparatus. We made a treatment for the mice for a week(2 times for a day, totally 14 times treatments). We observed a dermal morphologic recovery on the mice and a histopathological photographs of the burn skin and subcutaneous tissue with H&E stain, Masson’s trichrome stain, and VEGF, FGF and c-kit immunohistochemical stain.
Results: The pharmacopuncture group were a better morphologic recovery than control group and acupuncture group. And the pharmacopuncture group were a better histopathological recovery than control group and acupuncture group on the burn skin and subcutaneous tissue with H&E stain, Masson’s trichrome stain. And the pharmacopuncture group were a better histopathological recovery than control group and acupuncture group on the burn skin and subcutaneous tissue with VEGF, FGF and c-kit immunohistochemical stain.
Conclusions: We suggest that the pharmacopuncture treatment is a better histologic and morphologic recovery than the no treatment or the acupuncture group with the burned mouse skin.
