Effect of BTXA on Inhibiting Hypertrophic Scar Formation in a Rabbit Ear Model

ConclusionThese results demonstrated that BTXA effectively improved the appearance of hypertrophic scars and inhibited the formation of collagen fibrils and fibroblasts in vivo. Treatment with the middle dose of BTXA achieved similar efficacy as TAC treatment, indicating that BTXA might be useful for inhibiting hypertrophic scars and worth investigating further.No Level AssignedThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable.
