Histological Study of the First Seven Days of Skin Wound Healing in Rats

Abstract

Vidinsk˘ B., P. Gal, T. Toporcer, F. Longauer, L. Lenhardt, N. Bobrov, J. Sabo: Histological Study of the First Seven Days of Skin Wound Healing in Rats. Acta Vet. Brno 2006, 75: 197-202.The aim of this study was to elaborate a histological model of incisional skin wound healing in Sprague-Dawley rats. Under aseptic conditions two paravertebral full thickness skin incisions were performed on the back of 42 anesthetized male rats. Histological sections from tissue specimens were stained by hematoxylin and eosin, van Gieson, PAS + PSD, Mallory's phosphotungstic hematoxylin and azur and eosin and evaluated during the first seven days after surgery. Histological evaluation revealed that the regeneration of injured epidermis was completed five days after surgery. The inflammatory phase was recorded during the first three days of healing with the culmination of this phase between day one and day two. The beginning of the proliferative phase was dated to the first day and the peak during day five and day six. The initiation of the maturation and remodeling phase of the healing process was observed six days after wounding. At the layer of striated muscle, the centronucleated cells were described for the first time six days after surgery. The wound healing process of rat skin was histologically described during the first seven days. Results of this work can serve as an experimental model for further research using external pharmacological and physical factors (laser light, magnetic field) by which the wound healing can be favourably influenced.Sprague-Dawley rats, inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, maturation in remodeling phase, histology

Simple method of open skin wound healing model in corticosteroid-treated and diabetic rats: standardization of semi-quantitative and quantitative histological assessments

“…Hence, the use of a standardized and reproducible model is inevitable to obtain objective information of the wound healing process as well as to better understand the pathological process and to improve medical technologies (Motlik et al, 2007). When compared with our previous histological study, in which we have elaborated a detailed biomechanical and histological model of primary sutured wound healing Vidinsky et al, 2006), our current work shows that there are only quantitative differences between primary and secondary wound healing. This observation was previously shown by numerous authors (Barbul and Regan, 1993;Cotran et al, 1999).…”

Low-Level Laser Therapy with 810 nm Wavelength Improves Skin Wound Healing in Rats with Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes

“…Whereas an open wound heals with extensive granulation tissue production, a primary wound forms no or only a negligible amount of granulation tissue. 20,30 Therefore, it may be suggested that optimal LLLT probably will be wound-type specific.…”
