The Wound Healing Index for Predicting Venous Leg Ulcer Outcome.

abstract：SIGNIFICANCE:Proteases and their inhibitors contribute to the balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and deposition, creating an equilibrium that is essential for the timely and coordinated healing of cutaneous wounds. However, when this balance is disrupted, wounds are led into a state of chronicity ch...
