Eschar dissolution and the immunoregulator effect of keratinase on burn wounds.

ABSTRACT: At present, enzyme debridement preparation has shown a good curative effect on eschar removal of burn wounds. Keratinase has shown great potential in enzymatic debridement because of its good fibrin-degrading ability. In this study, the debridement of keratinase was examined by using a third degree burn wound model in rats. We observed the wound, and keratinase shortened the time of eschar dissolution after debridement. Histopathology and immunofluorescence staining showed that the eschar in the keratinase group became thinner, inflammatory cell infiltration in the wound increased, the fluorescence intensity of the macrophage surface marker CD68 increased, and the CD163/CD86 ratio increased. In bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), there was no significant difference in the activity of
