波士顿大学医学分院和哈佛医学院的研究者们发展了一种新的治疗方法,即用婴幼儿割除包皮手术时取下的包皮作为皮肤移植材料,可以治愈患有慢性皮肤溃疡的病人。波士顿研究小组在美国皮肤病学学会杂志上发表报告时指出:这种无痛的实验性治疗方法可以使皮肤溃疡得到长期持久的治愈。大学医院的一名皮肤病医生塔尼亚·菲利普斯指出:老年人有循环功能不良者、糖尿病者、偏瘫者和癌症进行化疗者以及其它患有衰竭性疾病者,可以从这种新的治疗方法中得到好处。这种新的方法是从新生婴儿身上割下的包皮为培养基,培养成大片的细胞后直接放置到伤口上。菲利普斯医生说:这种生物材料 Researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School have developed a new approach to treating patients with chronic skin ulcers by removing the foreskin removed during foreskin surgery as a transplanted material for infants and toddlers. In a report in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, the Boston-based research team said: "This painless experimental treatment can lead to long-term, durable healing of skin ulcers. Tania Phillips, a dermatologist at the University Hospital, points out that people with circulatory dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, hemiplegia and cancer, as well as other people with a debilitating disease, can benefit from this new treatment Benefit from the method. This new method is from the newborn baby cut the foreskin as a medium, cultured into large pieces of cells placed directly on the wound. Dr. Phillips said: This kind of biological material
