	  abstract     = {In this study, hydrogels consisted of polyvinyl alcohol,
propylene glycol and β-glucan were developed by radiation technique
for wound dressing. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by
examining of physical properties such as gel fraction and absorption
ratio. The gel fraction and absorption ratio were dependent on the
crosslinking density. On observing the wound healing of rat skin, the
resulting hydrogels accelerated the wound healing comparing to cotton
gauze. Therefore, the PVA/propylene glycol/β-glucan blended
hydrogels can greatly accelerate the healing without causing irritation.},
