Studies of wound healing, regeneration and wound infection aimed at improving care of severly injured soldiers are underway in the following areas: (1). Adverse effects of severe injury on wound healing; attempts to improve healing in the severely injured. (a) Effects of injury on wound healing; (b) Additional studies dealing with attempts to increase fibroblastic proliferation, collagen synthesis, and/or collagen synthesis and thereby accelerate wound healing after injury. (2) Chemical accelerators of wound healing and regeneration present in wounds and/or the blood. (a) Liver regeneration. (3) Adverse effects of severe injury on resistance to infection; some aspects of wound infection and wound healing; attempts to increase local and systemic resistance to infection.
