    Abstract Objective: It has been postulated that Traumacel P, a haemostatic powder, might assist the wound-healing process. This in vitro study investigated the effect of the powder on human dermal fibroblasts.
    Method: Experiments using fibroblasts from a 50-year-old donor were carried out using suspensions of Traumacel P ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 mg/ml. Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% or 0.4% foetal calf serum (FCS) and 5.5 mM or 25 mM glucose was used. The powder was either placed in contact with the cells or separated from them by a porous membrane. The response of the fibroblasts was assessed using the MTT assay.
    Results: Concentrations of 0.5 mg/ml and 1.0 mg/ml stimulated the metabolic activity of the fibroblasts in both high and low glucose medium with 10% FCS, regardless of whether the powder was in contact with or separated from the cells. The greatest stimulation, to 174% of the controls, was produced by 0.5 mg/ml Traumacel P in low glucose/10% FCS with the powder in contact with the cells (p < 0.0001). Traumacel concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 mg/ml in 0.4% FCS significantly stimulated the metabolic activity of fibroblasts in low glucose medium, but not in the high glucose medium.
    Conclusion: These studies indicate that direct stimulation of fibroblast proliferation may be one of the ways in which Traumacel P aids the healing of ulcers observed in the clinic.

    Abstract Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in the impaired healing of chronic leg ulcers but little direct evidence is available. We have observed a significant (p < 0.01) elevation of the allantoin : uric acid percentage ratio, a marker of oxidative stress, in wound fluid from chronic leg ulcers (median 17, range 8-860) compared to both paired plasma (median 2, range 1-8) and acute surgical wound fluid (median 4, range 3-7). However, the allantoin : uric acid percentage ratio did not differ significantly between chronic wounds that healed and those that failed to heal. Neutrophil elastase was elevated 30- to 1300-fold in chronic wound fluid compared to plasma and there was a correlation (r(2) = 0.742) between wound fluid elastase and the allantoin : uric acid percentage ratio. Total antioxidant capacity of wound fluid, as measured with a chemiluminescence assay, did not show a correlation (r(2) = 0.03) with the observed oxidative stress. These observations suggest that conditions of localized oxidative stress, possibly related to neutrophil-associated production of reactive oxygen species, are present in chronic leg ulcers. It is possible that future therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing oxidative stress, in addition to good standard care, could improve healing rates of chronic wounds.

    Abstract Clinical trials that follow venous ulcers to complete healing can be costly because of the prolonged healing time involved. Initial healing rates in venous ulcers are calculated by 2 methods, which are based on a metric using wound area and perimeter. It has been proposed that these rates allow the prediction of complete healing and that they may be useful as surrogate end points for clinical trials. The objective of this study was to compare the 2 proposed methods for calculating initial healing rates and determine their usefulness in predicting the healing of venous ulcers. Venous leg ulcers from patients enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study were measured weekly for up to 12 weeks. Their healing status was determined for up to 24 weeks. Initial healing rates were calculated using the 2 proposed methods. The ability of these rates to predict time to complete healing was assessed. Information from 17 patients was available. The initial healing rates, calculated by either method, were quite similar; both methods produced the same median value of 0.046 cm/week in our patients. Five of the patients had negative initial healing rates, which do not allow any prediction of a healing time. Three of 7 patients predicted to heal within 24 weeks failed to do so. One of the 5 patients was predicted to heal at some time after 24 weeks but actually healed within 24 weeks. None of the 5 patients with negative initial healing rates healed within 24 weeks. Initial healing rates, as calculated by either method, have limited utility in describing healing curves and predicting a healing time. This poor predictive ability argues against using these initial healing rates as surrogate end points for clinical trials. The great variability observed in venous ulcer healing curves may limit the development of useful predictive models in this patient population.
