Chi-Wen Lung, PhD is currently an Professor of Department of Creative Product Design and Department of Bioinformatics and Medical Engineering at the Asia University, Taiwan. Dr. Lung received his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the National Yang-Ming University, Taiwan in 2008. Afterward, Dr. Lung continued his Postdoc training in the Information Technology Research Center of Sports and Health, Institute of Intelligent Machines, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei, China. There, he had developed advanced instruments for rehabilitation research. He received his BS and MS degrees both in Industrial Design from the Dayeh University and the Tatung University, Taiwan in 1995 and 1997, respectively. Dr. Lung was a Supervisor in the Job Accommodation Office, Bureau of Labor Affairs, Taipei City Government, Taipei, Taiwan. Dr. Lung has 12 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 book, 2 book chapters, and 19 proceeding papers. His work is on the interface pressure distribution between human and orthoses, and its role on soft tissue injury. His approach has a high potential to improve the design of sport shoes and wheelchair cushions. He is interested in human machine interface and its application for the design of sport biomedical devices and technologies. Dr. Lung is a member of Taiwanese Society of Biomechanics, and The World Association for Chinese Biomedical Engineers (WACBE)

Effect of negative pressure therapy on the treatment response to scar thickness and viscoelasticity

Negative pressure has been used for scar therapy in medical care and provides a microenvironment conducive to scar healing while stimulating cell regeneration. Negative pressure may disrupt scar tissue regeneration when the pressure is too high or too low, so finding a suitable negative pressure is important. We hypothesized that different negative pressure magnitudes would affect scar tissue properties differently. This research aimed to provide practical recommendations for scar therapy. This study used three negative pressures (−105 mmHg, −125 mmHg, and −145 mmHg) to compare scar material properties. We measured scar tissue thickness and viscoelasticity with a motor-driven ultrasound indentation system. According to the results of this study, scar thickness is most effectively reduced at a negative pressure of −105 mmHg. In comparison, scar viscoelasticity continuously increases at a negative pressure of −125 mmHg. Negative pressure therapy can be recommended to scar care clinics based on the results of this study.
