摘要
We report the use of topical application of recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) to successfully treat therapy-resistant, chronic leg ulcers in scleroderma. Endothelial cell FGF receptors are directly stimulated by bFGF,also, bFGF promotes the regeneration of capillary-rich granulation tissue. We conclude that topical bFGF may be a powerful new pharmacologic tool for treating severe skin ulcers.
