[The effect of millet oil on healing of purulent wounds in patients with diabetes mellitus and experimental animals].

In the studies on 64 rabbits with the model of a suppurating wound against the background of diabetes mellitus, and as well in treating 29 patients with diabetes mellitus and purulent-inflammatory soft tissue diseases, it was established that the millet oil had the antiinflammatory and stimulating tissue regeneration effect. The duration of wound treatment in rabbits with the use of millet oil was 16 days shorter than in use of the sea-buckthorn oil, and 21 day shorter--Wishnevsky's ointment. In patients with diabetes mellitus, the duration of wound treatment in use of the millet oil reduced by 16 days when compared to that in using the sea-buckthorn oil.
