Objective To observe effect of the recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor in the treatment of superficial Ⅱ degree burn wounds. Methods Ninety cases of small area of superficial Ⅱ degree burn wounds were randomly divided into 2 groups: recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor group(rb-bFGF) and control group (Iodophor gauze group). The wound healing time,patient pain, long-term hyperpigmentation and scar chance of proliferation were observed. Results The effect of rb-bFGF treatment group was better than that of control group. The healing time of the treatment group was (8.56 ± 2.51)d, it was shorter than that of the control group (12.42±2.13)d(P<0.01). The average healing time was 3~5 days, it was ahead of the control group; Compared to the control group, the rb-bFGF group had less pain (VAS scores were: 1.66±0.05 and 3.25±0.12,P<0.01); Some patients were followed up a year later, we found that the treatment group long-term pigmentation was lighter, scar chance of proliferation was lower. Conclusion Application of rb-bFGF in the treatment of small area of shallow Ⅱ degree of burns may shorten the wound healing time. As effective promotion of burn wound healing, it may reduce the pain when dressing, reduce long-term pigmentation and scarring rate.
