Abstract:

Objective  To observe the therapeutic effect of combined Beifushu with Aikexin in treatment of residual burn wounds. Methods  The patients with residual burn wounds were included from January to December of 2013 and treated by Beifushu plus Aikexin with additional applying of 0.5% iodophor to the wounds, and the efficacies were compared with the control subjects. Results  The treatment group had shortened wound healing time(t=8.68, P<0.05), higher recovery rate at day 7, 14, 21 and 28(t=12.02, 8.56, 7.11, 5.49, respectively, P<0.05) and effective rate as compared with the controls(96.87% vs. 74.37%, χ2=3.96, P<0.05). Conclusion  Combined use of Beifushu with Aikexin for treatment of residual burn wounds may result in shortened healing time, effective control of the wound infection, facilitate early wound healing, reduction of pain and medical costs for the patients, suggesting that this regimen can be wider clinical use.
