Sustained compression and healing of chronic venous ulcers.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Comparison of four layer bandage system with traditional adhesive plaster bandaging in terms of (a) compression achieved and (b) healing of venous ulcers. DESIGN: Part of larger randomised trial of five different dressings. SETTING: Outpatient venous ulcer clinic in university hospital. PATIENTS: (a) Pressure exerted by both bandage systems was measured in the same 20 patients. (b) Healing with the four layer bandage was assessed in 148 legs in 126 consecutive patients (mean age 71 (SE 2); range 30-96) with chronic venous ulcers that had resisted treatment with traditional bandaging for a mean of 27.2 (SE 8) months. INTERVENTIONS: (a) Four layer bandage system or traditional adhesive plaster bandaging for pressure studies; (b) four layer bandaging applied weekly for studies of healing. END POINTS: (a) Comparison of pressures achieved at the ankle for up to one week; (b) complete healing within 12 weeks. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: (a) Four layer bandage produced higher initial pressures at the ankle of 42.5 (SE 1) mm Hg compared with 29.8 (1.8) for the adhesive plaster (p less than 0.001; 95% confidence interval 18.5 to 6.9). Pressure was maintained for one week with the four layer bandage but fell to 10.4 (3.5) mm Hg at 24 hours with adhesive plaster bandaging. (b) After weekly bandaging with the four layer bandage 110 of 48 venous ulcers had healed completely within 12 (mean 6.3 (0.4)) weeks. CONCLUSION: Sustained compression of over 40 mm Hg achieved with a multilayer bandage results in rapid healing of chronic venous ulcers that have failed to heal in many months of compression at lower pressures with more conventional bandages.

[Clinico-morphological characteristics of the methods of connection of the postoperative wound edges].

The decision for the method of connection of the skin wound edges should be based on specific reconstruction of the injured tissues depending on the suture material and kind of the skin suture. An alternative of the classical suturing of the postoperative wound is a sutureless fixation of the skin edges--a method of using adhesive plaster. The work includes a clinico-morphological comparison of the course of the process of regeneration when using the intracutaneous suture and the adhesive plaster. The macroscopic and pathologic-histological estimation of the healing of the postoperative wound of the skin has shown that a smoother course of the postoperative period is noted in the groups where the adhesive plaster was used.

[Interrupted suture versus adhesive dressing in skin closure of pediatric inguinal hernia--a controlled randomized prospective study].

The skin closure with resorbable interrupted sutures (Dexon 6x0) was compared with adhesive plasters (Leukostrip) in a randomized prospective clinical trial with 100 children with an inguinal hernia. The same operative technique was used in both groups. There were no significant differences referring to the complication rates and the cosmetic results between both groups. Skin closure with adhesive plasters significantly saved operation-time and reduced costs. It can be recommended in cases of infantile inguinal hernias.

[Study on percutaneous absorption of Xuetie Dingchuan Plaster].

OBJECTIVE: To filtrate prescription of the adhesive plaster, kind and amount of percutaneous absorption reagent, etc. METHODS: In vitro percutaneous absorption of Xuetie Dingchuan Plaster was studied by HPLC using magnolin as the content of the marker substance, in the condition of equal effective component of samples, drawing graphs with time as abscissa and area of peak as ordinate. RESULTS: 40% ethanol was used as receptor liquid, prescription with Polyethylene Glycol 6000 as bases, azone as percutaneous absorption reagent. The amount of azone was 1.8%. CONCLUSION: The prescription of Xuetie Dingchuan Plaster, with 1.8% azone as percutaneous absorption reagent, and Polyethylene Glycol 6000 as bases, is preferable.

The effects on normal skin of adhesives from stoma appliances.

The irritancy of 7 adhesive plasters from different ostomy appliances was compared in 30 normal subjects. The adhesives were replaced both daily and weekly over a 21-day period. Using a clinical rating scale, the results slowed that "Stomahesive" had a significantly less irritating effect on the skin than the other plasters, both when removed daily and when removed weekly. The difference between daily and weekly removal reached statistical significance at the end of Weeks 2 and 3, and the results suggest that the nature of the adhesive is more important than the frequency of removal.

Contact sensitization to cyanoacrylate adhesive as a cause of severe onychodystrophy.

BACKGROUND: The technology used for artificial nails, the chemistry of cyanoacrylates and the reported reactions to these products are briefly reviewed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied three patients with prominent fingernail dystrophy, nail bed hyperkeratosis, fingertip eczema, and onycholysis, two of whom also had eczematous lesions at distant sites, ostensibly from hand transfer. Patch testing was performed with a standard screening tray, dried cyanoacrylate adhesives, and, in one case, with fingernail clippings. RESULTS: All three patients were prominently patch-test positive to the polymerized 2-ethylcyanoacrylate, used as an adhesive on artificial (plastic) fingernails. One patient was also mildly formaldehyde sensitive, one was mildly reactive to two acrylate allergens, and one was extremely allergic to toluenesulfonamide formaldehyde resin. One patient had a positive patch test to her fingernail clippings 2 months after use of the adhesive was discontinued and an attempt was made to remove it. CONCLUSIONS: Reactions to cyanoacrylate adhesives used for artificial nails can cause both nail dystrophy and fingertip eczema, and may produce eczema elsewhere, probably from hand transfer. Persistence is likely due to retained polymer, which slowly degrades in the presence of water probably releasing antigens. Patch testing with the dried adhesive on an adhesive plaster seems to be reliable.
