Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is an effective method for debriding wounds such as leg ulcers, supporting the concept of wound bed preparation ( Dumville et al, 2009 ; Soares et al, 2009 ; Mudge et al, 2014 ). New evidence is emerging to suggest that maggots might contribute to wound healing in other ways. For example, the reduction of biofilms and disinfection of wounds ( Van Der Plas et al, 2008 ; Brown et al, 2012 ; Pritchard and Brown, 2015 ) plus regulation of protease levels ( Chambers et al, 2003 ; Van Der Plas et al, 2009a ; Van Der Plas et al, 2009b ). This review will discuss research exploring new benefits of maggots in the management of individuals with chronic leg ulcers.
蛆虫清创疗法(MDT)是一种用于清创腿部溃疡等伤口的有效方法,支持伤口床准备的概念(邓维尔等人,2009年;索阿雷斯等人,2009年;马奇等人,2014年)。新的证据表明,蛆虫可能以其他方式促进伤口愈合。例如,减少生物膜和伤口消毒(范德普拉斯等人,2008年;布朗等人,2012年;普里查德和布朗,2015年)以及调节蛋白酶水平(钱伯斯等人,2003年;范德普拉斯等人,2009a;范德普拉斯等人,2009b)。本综述将讨论探索蛆虫在慢性腿部溃疡患者管理中的新益处的研究。
