Topical Application of Human Umbilical Cord Blood in Chronic Wounds: A Clinical and Prospective Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
There are over 2.8 million patients with chronic wounds, treated at a cost of billions of rupees per year in India. With a chronic wound prevalence of 4.4 per 1000 of population, healing these wounds as rapidly as possible may cause a substantial reduction in morbidity.1 Inspite of many advances in wound healing research, the treatment of chronic non healing wounds still presents a challenge to the medical fraternity. Application of stem cells is found to be the future method of wound healing. Among the available sources of allogeneic cells, umbilical cord blood is quite easy to obtain, has less ethical issues, and contains multi-potent cells of low immunogenicity. Human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) remains the most abundant, readily available source of stem cells considering the global birth rate of about 133 million a year in 2011.2
