OBJECTIVE： To explore the effects of early treatment with mouse nerve growth factor on the wound healing in aged patients with electric burn. METHODS： 78 elderly patients with electric burn were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method， with 39 cases in each group. Control group was given routine method for electric burn， and observation group was additionally given Mouse nerve growth factor for injection 30 μg dissolved in 2 ml 0.9％ Sodium chloride injection within 24 h， im， qd， on the basis of control group. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 2 weeks. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were compared as well as VAS score before treatment， 3， 5， 7 days after treatment. The survival rate of skin flaps and the rate of wound healing 3， 5， 7 days after treatment， the recovery of wound scar， the value of wound blood perfusion， the time of complete wound healing and the occurrence of ADR were also compared. RESULTS： The total effective rate of observation group （94.9％） was significantly higher than that of control group （66.7％）， with statistical significance （P＜0.05）. 3， 5， 7 days after treatment， VAS score of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group， and the survival rate of skin flaps and the rate of wound healing were significantly higher than those of control group， with statistical significance （P＜0.05）. After treatment， VSS score of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group， while the value of wound blood perfusion was significantly higher than that of control group； the time of complete wound healing was significantly lower than that of control group， with statistical significance （P＜0.05）. No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS： Early treatment with mouse nerve growth factor for elderly patients with electric burns can effectively lower the VAS and VSS score， improve the survival rate of skin flaps and the rate of wound healing， increase the value of wound blood perfusion and shorten the time of complete wound healing with good clinical efficacy and safety.
