Abstract
Objective To discuss the influence of aerosol bioelectricity on the expression of interleukin (IL) -8 and IL-10 in wound healing of burned rats. Methods The deep Ⅱ degree scalding models were established in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Rats were randomly divided into experimental group (n1 =20) and control group (n2 =20). The rats in experimental group were treated with aerosol bioelectricity.Samples were collected at the first to eleventh day post-scalding. Immunohistochemistry and image analysis methods were conducted to examine the expression of IL-8 and IL-10 in both experimental and control groups. Results The average wound healing time in experimental group was 7. 00 ± 1. 15 days, and that in control group was 9. 00 ± 1. 34 days. IL-8 and IL-10 were observed mainly in polylmorphonuclear and mononuclear cells in both experimental and control groups on the 1 st day. On the third day, fibroblasts abounded, IL-8 expression was increased evidently and reached a peak. The peak value (6. 73 ± 1. 36) in experimental group was lower significantly than that in control group ( 2. 85 ± 0. 72, P < 0. 01). From the 5th to 11th day, IL-8 expression was declined rapidly. IL-10 was expressed in keratode cells and had the peak value in experimental group (1. 24 ±0. 15) and control group (5. 69 ± 1. 32) on the 3rd day. IL-10 expression was declined gradually from the 5th to 11th days. The expression level of IL-10 in experimental group was significantly higher than in control group from the 3rd day to 11th days post-scalding (P<0. 01). On the 3rd day, both IL-8 and IL-10 in experimental and control groups were expressed abundantly , and there was negative relationship between them (r = - 0. 862, P < 0. 01). Conclusion Aerosol bioelectricity can indicate active cells proliferation through down-regulating the expression of IL-8 and up-regulating the expression of IL-10, accelerating burned wound healing.
