Does non ‐contact low‐frequency ultrasound (NLFU) therapy contribute to wound healing at the molecular level?
In conclusion, NLFU treatment is an effective adjuvant tool for CVLU therapy. This study demonstrates that it improves wound healing by equally inhibiting abundant levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines as well as by reducing the overall bacterial burden.

Hierarchical evaluation of electrical stimulation protocols for chronic wound healing: an effect size meta ‐analysis
This study confirms the overall efficacy of ES to enhance healing of chronic wounds and highlights the superiority of HVPC over other type of currents, which is more effective on pressure ulcers, and inversely associated with the wound size and duration. This will enable to standardize future ES practices. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Wound Repair and Regeneration)

Consensus guidelines for the identification and treatment of biofilms in chronic non ‐healing wounds
Conclusion: This consensus document attempts to clarify misunderstandings about the role of biofilms in clinical practice, and provides a basis for clinicians to recognize biofilms in chronic non‐healing wounds and manage patients optimally. A new paradigm for wound care, based on a stepped‐down treatment approach, was derived from the consensus statements. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Lull pgm System: a suitable technique to improve the regenerative potential of autologous fat grafting
In conclusion, Lull seems to be the best processing technique for adipose tissue graft with respect to decantation and centrifugation, because it clears more efficiently the fat from proinflammatory blood cells and provides the greatest number of proliferating SFV cells and ADSCs.

Efficacy of a Surfactant ‐based Wound Dressing on Biofilm Control
In conclusion, this non‐antimicrobial surfactant‐based wound dressing leads to the effective detachment and dispersion of in vitro biofilms. The use of surfactant‐based wound dressings in a clinical setting may help to disrupt existing biofilm from wound tissue and may increase the action of antimicrobial treatment.

Exudate collection using wound sponges —An easy, non‐invasive and reliable method to explore protease activities in ulcers
Abstract Proteases are important for wound healing, but in excessive amounts or left uncontrolled, they may cause healing impairment or other severe wound complications. Point‐of‐care testing for protease activities in wounds may be useful for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, and for early identification of wounds that potentially fail to heal. Here we describe an easy, noninvasive method to collect wound fluid for evaluating the protease milieu of wounds. Wound fluids were collected using sterile sponges applied between wound surface and normal wound dressing. Wound fluid could be easily squeezed or centrifu...

The effect of pH on cell viability, cell migration, cell proliferation, wound closure, and wound reepithelialization: In vitro and in vivo study
Abstract Wound microenvironment plays a major role in the process of wound healing. It contains various external and internal factors that participate in wound pathophysiology. The pH is an important factor that influences wound healing by changing throughout the healing process. Several previous studies have investigated the role of pH in relation to pathogens but studies concentrating on the effects of pH on wound healing itself are inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively and in a controlled fashion investigate the effect of pH on wound healing by studying its effect on human primary keratinocyte a...

Foxn1 and Mmp ‐9 expression in intact skin and during excisional wound repair in young, adult, and old C57Bl/6 mice
Abstract The transcription factor Foxn1 is essential for skin development. Our previous studies performed on young C57BL/6J mice model showed that Foxn1 acts as regulator of the skin wound healing process. The present study extended our initial research regarding the expression and potential role of Foxn1 in the intact and wounded skin as a function of animal age and stage of the wound healing process. We analyzed Foxn1 and Mmp‐9 expression in the intact and postinjured skin of young, adult, and old C57BL/6J and transgenic Foxn1::Egfp mice. The similar levels of epidermal Foxn1 mRNA expression were detected in young and ...
