Objective@#To explore experience of wound treatment of extremely severe mass burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident.@*Methods@#On August 2nd, 2014, 98 extremely severe burn mass patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident were admitted to 20 hospitals in China. The patients with complete medical record were enrolled in the study and divided into microskin graft group with 56 patients and Meek skin graft group with 42 patients. Split-thickness skin in area of residual skin were resected to repair wounds of patients in microskin graft group and Meek skin graft group by microskin grafting and Meek miniature skin grafting, respectively. The residual wound size on 28 days post injury and wound infection after skin grafting of patients in the two groups, and position of donor site of all patients were retrospectively analyzed. Data were processed with t test and chi-square test.@*Results@#The size of residual wound of patients in Meek skin graft group on 28 days post injury was (59±13)% total body surface area (TBSA), which was obviously smaller than that in microskin graft group [(70±14)%TBSA, t=4.379, P<0.05]. Twenty-nine patients in microskin graft group and 11 patients in Meek skin graft group suffered from obvious wound infection after skin grafting. Wounds of patients in two groups were repaired with residual skin around wound in head, trunk, groin, armpit, and uncommon donor sites of scrotum (4 patients), vola (10 patients), and toe or finger web (8 patients).@*Conclusions@#Meek skin graft is the first choice for wound repair of extremely severe burn mass patients, with faster wound healing, less wound infection. Uncommon donor sites of scrotum, vola, and toe or finger web can also be used for wound repair in case of lack of skin.

Objective:Glutamine is the main oxidative fuel of the enterocyte which enters the enterocyte primarily via amino acid transporters.The aim of the test was to study the distributions and functions of glutamine transporters in IEC-6 cell line.Methods:The rat intestinal epithelial cell line(IEC-6) was incubated in vitro.The mRNA expression of different glutamine transporters,protein expression of system ASCT2,and the [3H]-L-glutamine uptake were measured.Results:The mRNA of system ASCT2,SN1,ATA1,LAT1,LAT2 was expressed and the protein expression of ASCT2 was also validated in IEC-6.In Na+-containing buffer,the velocity of Na+-dependent glutamine uptake was(164.07?37.94) fmol/(mg protein?10min).In Na+-free buffer,the velocity of glutamine uptake was(58.71?10.51)fmol/(mg protein?10min).With the saturate dosage of MeAIB,the velocity of glutamine uptake was(81.02 ?19.59) fmol/(mg protein?10min).Conclusion:There may be five kinds of glutamine transporters(ASCT2,SN1,ATA1,LAT1,and LAT2) in IEC-6 cell.The Na+-dependent transporter was the major contributor(64.22%) to glutamine total uptake in IEC-6.The contributions of system A and the remainder were 50.62% and 13.60%,respectively.The Na+-independent transporter was the lesser contributor(35.78%).
Résumé
Objective: Breast augmentation by polyacrylamide hydrogel(PAHG) injection has resulted in a series of adverse events in many female patients.This article summarizes the authors' experience in the diagnosis and treatment of lactational infection after breast augmentation by PAHG injection and discusses related preventive measures.Methods: This study included 2 patients who had developed infection during lactation 5 years after breast augmentation with PAHG.We identified the exact position of the PAHG and vomica by color Doppler,computerized tomography and magnetic resonance.We made incisions in the submammary fold or mammary areola to take out the PAHG,drain the pus and place the vacuum pressure tube,followed by application of pressure bandages.Results: One of the patients healed without any complication,while the other developed latex leak in both breasts,but finally cured after milk regurgitation and repeated changing of dressings.Conclusion: Lactational infection after breast augmentation by PAHG injection is detrimental to female patients.Preventive measures should be taken as early as possible.For patients with this infection,operation should be performed to take out the PAHG and drain the pus.Sufficient draining and milk regurgitation are necessary to avoid latex leak.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the variations of endotoxin,glutamine and TNF-? concentration in septic rats. Methods: A total of 90 adult male SD rats were divided as follows: control group(normal),experimental group(CLP).They were killed on hour 6,12,24,48,72 after surgery.Plasma,liver,small intestine and skeletal muscle were collected to measure the concentrations of glutamine in plasma and tissues,the levels of endotoxin and TNF-? in plasma. Results: In septic rats,plasma concentrations of endotoxin and TNF-? increased on hour 6,significantly increased on hour 12,attained the peak on hour 24,and decreased evidently on hour 48 and 72.Glutamine concentration in plasma elevated on hour 6 and 12,elevated significantly on hour 24 and 48,and decreased on hour 72.Glutamine concentration in liver increased on hour 6~12,increased significantly on hour 24,and decreased significantly on hour 48 and 72.Glutamine concentration in small intestine and skeletal muscle decreased on hour 6 and 12,and decreased significantly after 24 hour. Conclusion: During the early stage of sepsis,the plasma levels of endotoxin and TNF-? are increased significantly,the glutamine concentration in plasma and liver is also increased significantly,however,it was decreased evidently in skeletal muscle and small intestine.
Résumé
The femora! arteries in 38 rabbits were transected and repaired with autogenous venous grafts with different diameters. The measurements of blood flow, patency rate and thrombosis rate, and scanning electron microscopic examination were made over a period of 14 days. The result showed that a venous graftl with a diameter 20 per cent less than that of the recipient artery was most satisfactory.
