Abstract: [Objective]To characterize the scar-free healing of skin wounds in Hystrix brachyura hodgsoni. [Method]Penetrating and lacerating wounds in the ear skin of Hystrix brachyura hodgsoni were prepared. The healing processes of the skin wounds were observed and photographically recorded once every 7 days, and were histologically characterized by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of paraffin sections. [Result]The lacerating wounds in the ear skin of Hystrix brachyura hodgsoni healed in a scar-free manner within 63 days, and regenerated adipose tissue, dermis, epidermis and abundant hair follicle were histologically observed. [Conclusion]The results of this study are helpful to explore the mechanism of scar-free healing of skin wounds in Hystrix brachyura hodgsoni and to understand the mechanism of animal skin repair, which may provide references for curing large-area skin wounds in human.
