Abstract
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of topical application of recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in patients with nasal vestibulitis. MethodsOne hundred patients with nasal vestibulitis were randomly divided into two groups. Local application of bFGF + conventional medication was administered in the treatment group, while conventional medication was conducted in the control group. The healing of the nasal vestibular mucosa was observed. ResultsThe mucosal healing time was 18.3 ± 4.8 days in the treatment group and 36.2 ± 6.2 days in the control group. The data comparison revealed that the difference between groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The total effective rate was 98.0% in the treatment group and 90.0% in the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (P > 0.05). ConclusionTopical application of bFGF in patients with nasal vestibulitis could promote the growth of nasal mucosa, shorten the healing time of mucosal erosion, enhance the clinical treatment effect, and save a lot of treatment time for patients.
