title: [Effect of photodynamic therapy on the proliferation and cell distribution of hypertrophic scar fibroblast].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of HMME-PDT on the proliferation and cell distribution of hypertrophic scar fibroblast (HSF).
  
  
  METHODS
  HSF were cultured and only 4-6th passages were used in this study. Argyrophilic protein in nucleolar organizer regions(AgNORs) were calculated by I. S% after argyrophilic staining. Flow cytometry was applied to analyze the cell cycle and proliferation index (PI).
  
  
  RESULTS
  1) I. S% of HSF after HMME-PDT was reduced markedly. 2) HMME-PDT inhibited HSF entering S stage from G, stage, cell percentage in S stage was decreased to (11.2 +/- 2.3)%. 3) PI in HMME-PDT group was less than that in control group [(35.0 +/- 3.4)% vs (27.2 +/- 3.1)%, P < 0.05].
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HMME-PDT can inhibit proliferation of HSF, and chang cell distribution.
