Effect of rmEGF combined with ELF-EMF on promoting wound healing in rats.
This randomized animal study evaluated whether recombinant murine EGF combined with ELF-EMF improves wound healing in rats. The combined ELF-EMF+rmEGF group showed better wound healing rates and more favorable histological features than comparison groups at multiple time points. All groups had complete wound closure by day 15.
Key points
- Thirty-six rats were randomized into normal control, EGF-only, and ELF-EMF+EGF groups after creation of a 20 mm × 20 mm dorsal wound.
- Wound healing rate was assessed on days 3, 7, 11, and 15.
- The ELF-EMF+EGF group had a better wound healing rate than the other groups.
- HE staining suggested more favorable inflammatory cell infiltration, fibroblast organization, and neovascularization in the ELF-EMF+EGF group.
- All groups were completely healed by day 15.
- The abstract does not provide ELF-EMF exposure settings, limiting reproducibility from the provided information.
