RED BLOOD CELL FLISTE CURES CHRONIC LEG ULCERS

World War II taught. physician and surgeons some new methods of treatment because there were so many cases to be treated, cared for, and returned to duty in a short; time. One of the stubborn ailments was chronic leg ulcers; the soldier, sailor or flyer had to be off his feet a considerable time to enable the ulcer to heal.

Until recently treatment. of chronic or.old leg ulcers has meant the tying off of large veins in groin and injecting the vein or veins sup- plying the ulcer. Another method is the use of specially prepared chloride of lime which has helped many old or chronic ulcers to heal. However, with the need of men in world War II to set their leg ulcers healed within a short time. medical officers adopted a method by which the red cells of the blood could be used in the form of a paste. and the results were very gratifying.

In "The New York State Jour- nal of Medicine," Dr. William C. L. Drefenbach, Albany, states that in 1943 it was tirst suggested that the red cells of the blood (which cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body). usually discarded when processing blood to manufacture plasma for blood t.ransfuslon,,b,c used in the healing of chmnic leg ulcers. Group 0 cells are employ- ed and can simply be made into a

thick paste by the addlition of hexylrmorcenol and powdered trag- acanth. It is then applied directly to the ulcer. It promoted healing in ll of 12 cases tried.

Just why these md cells help to heal leg ulcers in such it short time is not fully known. However. this red cell paste provides pro- teins for no-urlshmerrt to tlhe part. serves as a. protective covering, and provides a scaffold or support for the newly ingrowing small blood vessels and connective or handling tissue. Also the relief of pain is more dramatic than with other forms of treatment.
