In brief
This experimental study investigates breast milk exosomes as a novel treatment for corrosive esophageal burns in a rat model. Results demonstrate significant reduction in inflammation and fibrosis, suggesting exosomes may prevent stricture formation following caustic ingestion injuries.
- Breast milk exosomes significantly reduced inflammation and fibrosis in rat models of corrosive esophageal burns.
- Daily administration of 0.5 cc mother milk exosome extract showed therapeutic benefit in experimental alkali injury.
- Exosome treatment may prevent stricture formation following caustic esophageal injury by reducing fibrosis.
- Weight gain was preserved in exosome-treated groups, suggesting improved recovery compared to untreated burns.
- Breast milk exosomes represent a potential novel biologic therapy for pediatric caustic esophageal injuries.

Abstract
Purpose
We aimed to examine the effectiveness of mother milk exosomes in treating corrosive esophageal burns.
Materials and methods
32 rats were separated into four equal groups and weighed individually before the procedure. A corrosive esophageal burn model was created with 12.5% sodium hydroxide by a 3F Fogarty catheter. Group 1 did not apply any process or treatment, Group 2 was burned, and no treatment was performed. Group 3 was burned, and then 0.5 cc/day of mother milk exosome extract was given. Group 4 was not applied any process, and 0.5 cc/day mother milk exosome extract was given. All rats were weighed again and sacrificed. Biopsy samples were sent to the pathology laboratory for histopathological examination (in terms of inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis).Kindly check and confrm all email ids.The e-mail addresses and affiliation of all authors were checked.

Results
A significant difference was found in the results of inflammation and fibrosis. There was a meaningful difference in fibrosis between the 2nd and 3rd groups. There was weight gain in groups 1, 3 and 4. Statistical evaluations for each group were significant.
Conclusion
It was observed that breast milk exosomes may be effective in inflammation and fibrosis formation in treating corrosive esophageal burns. This suggested that breast milk exosomes reduce stricture formation due to esophageal corrosion.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).
