Conclusions
Skin MG was successfully impregnated into Pelnac Gplus by simple administration but not into Integra. Administration of skin MG into the Pelnac Gplus promoted granulation formation and angiogenesis. Pelnac Gplus was more suitable than Integra in the combination therapy.
Methods
Skin MG was prepared from the skin of C57BL/6JJcl mice using Rigeneracons and administered onto Pelnac Gplus and Integra sheets. The amount of MG suspension impregnated in Pelnac Gplus and Integra was evaluated. Pelnac Gplus and Integra sheets combined with MG were applied to murine defects, and wound area, neoepithelium length, granulation tissue formation, and newly formed capillaries were compared with the control groups on days 7 and 14.
Results
The weight percentage of the MG absorbed by Pelnac Gplus and Integra was 88.8% ± 3.5% and 28.2% ± 7.0%, respectively (P < 0.05). In the in vivo experiment, the area of newly formed granulation tissue and both the number and area of newly formed capillaries in the PelnacG + MG group were significantly larger than those in the control group at 14 days after implantation (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Skin MG was successfully impregnated into Pelnac Gplus by simple administration but not into Integra. Administration of skin MG into the Pelnac Gplus promoted granulation formation and angiogenesis. Pelnac Gplus was more suitable than Integra in the combination therapy.
