Objective: The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness, recurrence, and adverse reaction rates of isotope phosphorus-32 dressings combined with diprospan and mucopolysaccharide polysulphate cream in the treatment of keloids., Methods: A total of 80 patients with keloids admitted to the Dermatology Clinic of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between June 2019 and June 2021 were included in the present study and randomly divided into three groups: Control Group 1 (n = 27), Control Group 2 (n = 25), and the treatment group (n = 28). Patients in Control Group 1 were treated with diprospan combined with mucopolysaccharide polysulphate cream, patients in Control Group 2 were treated with an isotopic phosphorus-32 dressing combined with mucopolysaccharide polysulphate cream, and patients in the treatment group were treated with an isotopic phosphorus-32 dressing combined with diprospan and mucopolysaccharide polysulphate cream. The effectiveness, recurrence, and adverse reaction rates were observed in all three groups., Results: The treatment group had the most significant decrease in the itching scores. The respective effectiveness, recurrence, and adverse reaction rates were 81.4%, 43.6%, and 74.1% in Control Group 1; 56%, 38.7%, and 64% in Control Group 2; and 96.7%, 11.2%, and 41% in the treatment group. The differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05)., Conclusion: An isotope phosphorus-32 dressing combined with diprospan and mucopolysaccharide polysulphate cream keloid treatment delivers a fast onset, good effectiveness, and low recurrence and adverse effect rates., (© 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

ABSTRACT Objective Methods Results Conclusion The lipid‐lowering simvastatin (SIM) has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of keloid proliferation. However, due to its low water solubility and short half‐life, simvastatin aggregates to the liver and does not reach the skin lesions after oral administration, which restricts its widespread clinical use. The development of nanomedicine provides the possibility for us to break through this bottleneck problem clinically. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using complex nanocontrolled delivery system (CNDS), simvastatin‐loaded polyethylene glycol‐poly lactic‐co‐glycolic acid (PEG‐PLGA), in the treatment of keloids.In the in vitro study, the release of simvastatin in fibroblasts by CNDS@Simvastatin and its effect on inhibition of the proliferation of fibroblasts, Col Ι, and CTGF by the slow release of simvastatin were assessed. The efficacy of CNDS@Simvastatin in improving keloids and the biocompatibility and safety of CNDS@Simvastatin were examined in vivo by establishing a murine ear keloid model.CNDS@Simvastatin showed sustained and uniform inhibition of the proliferation of fibroblasts, Col Ι, and CTGF via the gradual release of simvastatin over 72 h. It was efficient in the treatment of the murine ear keloid with no observable toxic side effects on various organs.Simvastatin‐loaded copolymer acid‐sensitive nanocarriers, CNDS@Simvastatin nanospheres, were successfully developed in this study, and these were characterized by favorable physicochemical properties and biocompatibility.
