科学证明：唾液混合物可加快伤口愈合

The research team found that histatin, a small protein in saliva previously³ only believed to kill bacteria was responsible for wound healing.

This research may offer hope to people suffering from chronic⁴ wounds related to diabetes⁵ and other disorders⁶, as well as traumatic injuries and burns. In addition, because the compounds can be mass produced, they have the potential to become as common as antibiotic⁷ creams and rubbing alcohol.

"We hope our finding is ultimately beneficial for people who suffer from non-healing wounds, such as foot ulcers⁸ and diabetic ulcers, as well as for treatment of trauma-induced wounds like burns," said Menno Oudhoff, first author of the report.

"This study not only answers the biological question of why animals lick their wounds," said Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal, "it also explains why wounds in the mouth, like those of a tooth extraction, heal much faster than comparable wounds of the skin and bone. It also directs us to begin looking at saliva as a source for new drugs."
