Role of cytokines in lavage or drainage fluid after hemithyroidectomy in wound healing: Involvement of histamine in the acceleration and delay of wound healing

Abstract: Wound healing is a sophisticated biologic process. In the case of hemithyroidectomy, the operation time is relatively short with small tissue damage and without skin excision, and bacterial contamination before, during, and after the operation is uncommon. Here, we explored which cytokine(s) affected the rates of healing of skin wounds after hemithyroidectomy of 29 patients. We assessed the amounts of cytokines (e.g., interleukin-6, platelet-derived growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, vascular endot… Show more

“…Vacuum, drainage, or other external devices were used in 124 of the 280 (44%) studies and thus were the most frequently used methods of sample collection 22–27,29–146 ; the vast majority of sample collections using this method (75%, 103/138), were from surgical wounds (Figure 2B). Three other frequently used methods were extraction from absorbent material (31%, 86/280),…”

“…Bioactive factors like serotonin, histamine, dopamine, calcium and adenosine are present in the dense granules of the platelets [22]. These non-growth factors have fundamental [23] effect on the biologic aspects of wound healing. Histamine and serotonin when released by the platelets increase capillary permeability, which in turn allows inflammatory cells a greater access to the wound site and resultant macrophage activation.…”

“…The administration of histamine, or its liberators, accelerated the production and polymerization of collagen within granulation tissue in guinea pigs [9] and rats [10]. The healing rate has also been found to be inversely proportional to the level of histamine, which appears to regulate the progression of the healing process [11].…”
