Multicenter Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialRecombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor accelerates wound healing in patients with burns, donor sites and chronic dermal ulcers.
To evaluate the effect of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rbFGF) on accelerating healing of burn wounds, donor sites and chronic dermal ulcers in multicenters. ⋯ rbFGF is effective in shortening the wound healing time and improving the wound healing quality. Accelerating wound healing is of clinical benefit in reducing the length of hospitalization, costs and emotional burden of the patient.

Effect of intravenous nitroglycerin on hemodynamics in infants and children with congestive heart failure.
To understand the effect of intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG) on hemodynamics in infants and small children with congestive heart failure secondary to congenital cardiac defect of left to right shunt. ⋯ Congestive heart failure secondary to congenital cardiac defect of left to right shunt in infants and small children is the indication of using intravenous NTG which could improve hemodynamics. There was different selectivity in dosage between arterial and venous vasodilatation, and the change in hemodynamics was independent of dosage. The dosages of 0.5-1.0 microgram.kg-1.min-1 NTG are recommended when the decrease of cardiac preload is the main point of therapy of heart failure.
