OBJECTIVE: To set up some objective and accurate criteria to evaluate wound healing. METHODS: Documents about wound healing were reviewed and summarized in detail. RESULTS: Wound healing rate, wound healing time, histopathology analysis, quantity assay of macrophage, determination of hydroxyproline, proliferation of cell, assay of DNA contents and circle of cells, level of transforming growth factor-alpha, levels of interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor, assay of keratinocyte collagenase-1, level of fibroblast growth factor receptor-1, level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and level of keratinocyte plasminogen activator inhabitor type 2 were selected as the evaluation criteria of wound healing.
