ABSTRACT

Objective: To preliminarily observe the effects of application of micro-negative pressure in children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn. Methods: From January 2016 to August 2018, 64 children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn who were admitted to the Department of Burn Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled study. According to the random number table, they were divided into negative pressure group [18 boys and 14 girls, aged (3.9±1.6) years with total burn area of (5.5±2.2)% total body surface area (TBSA)] and conventional group [20 boys and 12 girls, aged (3.8±1.7) years with total burn area of (5.8±1.6)% TBSA], with 32 patients in each group. After admission, simple debridement was performed in the patients of 2 groups. After that, the children in negative pressure group were treated with micro-negative pressure with negative pressure material replaced every 3 to 5 days. Children in conventional group were treated with silver sulfadiazine cream with dressing change every other day. On post injury day (PID) 14 and 21, general wound observation was performed, the wound healing rate was calculated, the exudates from the wounds were cultured and the positive detection rate was calculated. The number of patients requiring surgical skin grafting was recorded and the rate of surgical skin grafting was calculated, and the complete wound healing time was recorded in the patients of 2 groups. Scar formation was evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) in 3, 6, and 12 months after wound healing. Data were processed with chi-square test, t test, Bonferroni correction, and analysis of variance for repeated measurement. Results: (1) On PID 14, all the necrotic tissue in the wounds of patients in negative pressure group was removed, with few exudates, and most of the wounds had been epithelialized; most of necrotic tissue in the wounds of patients in conventional group was removed, with more exudates and smaller wound healing area than those in negative pressure group. On PID 21, most of the wounds of patients in negative pressure group were healed, and the exudates were rare, while the wound healing area of patients in conventional group was significantly smaller than that in negative pressure group with more exudates. (2) On PID 14 and 21, the wound healing rates [(49.8±3.3)% and (95.8±2.4)%] of patients in negative pressure group were significantly higher than those in conventional group [(40.0±3.2)% and (75.3±2.5)%, t=11.899, 33.461, P<0.01]. (3) On PID 14 and 21, the positive detection rates of wound bacteria of patients in negative pressure group were significantly lower than those in conventional group (χ(2)=6.275, 5.741, P<0.05). (4) The rate of surgical skin grafting of patients in negative pressure group was significantly lower than that in conventional group (χ(2)=5.333, P<0.05). (5) The complete wound healing time of patients in negative pressure group [(23.9±2.3) d] was significantly shorter than that in conventional group [(27.9±1.8) d, t=-7.806, P<0.01]. (6) In 3, 6, and 12 months after wound healing, the VSS scores [(6.9±1.8), (5.6±1.4), (3.4±1.5) points] of patients in negative pressure group were significantly lower than those in conventional group [(9.0±1.5), (7.4±2.0), (5.7±1.6) points, t=-4.987, -4.127, -5.988, P<0.01]. Conclusions: In comparison with routine dressing change, the treatment of application of micro-negative pressure in children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn can significantly improve the wound healing rate and rate of surgical skin grafting, decrease the wound infection rate, shorten the wound healing time, and improve the wound healing quality.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To determine the characteristics of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and to evaluate the impact of BSIs on mortality in severe burn patients. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted in 20 tertiary hospitals. A total of 185 patients who experienced a massive dust explosion in eastern China were included. RESULTS: After exclusion, 177 patients were analysed. The median total body surface area (TBSA) burned was 95% (interquartile range 85%-98%). Inhalation injuries occurred in 97.2%. The overall 90-day mortality was 35% (62/177). During the study period, 120 (67.8%) patients developed 253 episodes of BSI with 323 unique causative pathogens. Sixty-six episodes were polymicrobial infections. Catheter-related BSIs (CRBSIs) accounted for 41.5% of the episodes. Acinetobacter baumannii (19.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.9%) and Candida (12.7%) were the most common organisms. Antimicrobial resistance was found in 63.5% of the isolates, particularly in Gram-negative bacteria. Patients who developed BSIs had a greater illness severity at admission to the intensive care unit, and worse outcomes. After adjusting for demographics, severity of illness and treatment characteristics in a multivariate logistic model, there was a trend toward BSI increasing the risk of 90-day mortality (adjusted OR 3.4; 95% CI 0.9-12.9; p=0.069). In subgroup analyses, CRBSIs (adjusted OR 5.7; 95% CI 1.3-24.9; p=0.021 versus no BSI) and polymicrobial BSIs (adjusted OR 6.1; 95% CI 1.3-28.1; p=0.020 versus no BSI) had greater risk of 90-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS: A strikingly high rate of BSIs was observed in severe burn patients. Gram-negative organisms and fungi were the leading causes. CRBSIs and polymicrobial BSIs were associated with high mortality.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of tanshinol borneol ester (TBE) on homocysteine(Hcy) induced rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) damage. Methods: BMSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro by density gradient centrifugation and adherent culture method. BMSCs were divided into the control (normal isolation and culture), TBE-1(10 µmol/L TBE-1 solution with 100 µl), TBE-2 (10 µmol/L TBE-2 solution with 100 µl), Hcy (0.5 mmol/L Hcy solution with 100 µl), Hcy + TBE-1(0.5 mmol/L Hcy solution with 100 µl, and 10 µmol/L TBE-1 solution with 100 µl), Hcy + TBE-2 (0.5 mmol/L Hcy solution with 100 µl, and 10 µmol/L TBE-2 solution with 100 µl), Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group(0.5 mmol/L Hcy solution with 100 µl, 10 µmol/L TBE-1 solution with 100 µl, and 25 µmol/L LY294002(specific blocker of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase) solution with 100 µl), Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group(0.5 mmol/L Hcy solution with 100 µl, 10 µmol/L TBE-2 solution with 100 µl, and 25 µmol/L LY294002 solution with 100 µl). Cell proliferation activity was detected by MTT assay. The T-SOD activity and malonaldehyde level of cells were measured by anthineoxidase method and TBA method, respectively, to evaluate cell oxidative and antioxidative activities. The ultrastructure of cells was observed under transmission electron microscope. The expression level of PKB and NF-κB of cells in various groups were detected with the immunocytochemical method. Results: (1)Cell proliferation activity in TBE-1 group and TBE-2 group was significantly increased compared with the control group (both P<0.01), and was similar between TBE-1 group and TBE-2 groups after 1, 12, 24 and 48 hours treatment.(2)The T-SOD activity in TBE-1 group and TBE-2 group was significantly higher than in control group (both P<0.01), while it was significantly lower in Hcy group, Hcy+ TBE-1 group, and Hcy+ TBE-2 group than in control group(all P<0.01), and was similar between control group, Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group, and Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group(all P>0.05). The T-SOD activity was higher in Hcy+ TBE-1 group and Hcy+ TBE-2 group than in Hcy group(both P<0.01), and was higher in Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-1 group(P<0.05) and was higher in Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-2 group(P<0.05). The malonaldehyde level was lower in TBE-1 group and TBE-2 group than in control group(both P<0.01), was higher in Hcy group, Hcy+ TBE-1 group, Hcy+ TBE-2 group, Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group, and Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in control group(all P<0.01), was lower in Hcy+ TBE-1 group and Hcy+ TBE-2 group than in Hcy group(both P<0.01), was higher in Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-1 group(P<0.05), was higher in Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-2 group(P<0.05). (3)Under electron microscope, BMSCs showed profound swelling, senescence and apoptosis of cells increased significantly in Hcy group, Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group, and Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group when compared with control group. BMSCs in the TBE-1 and TBE-2 groups presented with abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, and very active cell metabolism signs. Compared with Hcy group, BMSCs edema, the number of aging and apoptotic cells, and cell injury severity were significantly less in TBE-1+ Hcy group and TBE-2+ Hcy. (4)The PKB level was higher in TBE-1 group and TBE-2 group than in control group(both P<0.01), was lower in Hcy group, Hcy+ TBE-2 group, Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group, and Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in control group(all P<0.01), was similar between control group and Hcy+ TBE-1 group(P>0.05), was higher in Hcy+ TBE-1 group and Hcy+ TBE-2 group than in Hcy group(both P<0.05), was lower in Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-1 group(P<0.05), and was lower in Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-2 group(P<0.05). The NF-κB level was higher in TBE-1 group and TBE-2 group than in control group(both P<0.01), was lower in Hcy group, Hcy+ TBE-1 group, Hcy+ TBE-2 group, Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group, and Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in control group(P<0.01 or 0.05), was higher in Hcy+ TBE-1 group and Hcy+ TBE-2 group than in Hcy group(both P<0.05), was lower in Hcy+ TBE-1+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-1 group(P<0.05) and was lower in Hcy+ TBE-2+ inhibitor group than in Hcy+ TBE-2 group(P<0.05). Conclusion: Tanshinol borneol ester can promote the proliferation of BMSC, and attenuate the homocysteine induced rat BMSCs damage possibly through activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/PKB signal transduction and its downstream signal pathway protein NF-κB.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To establish a model of cardiac fibrosis induced by isoproterenol (ISO), the non-selective ß adrenoceptor agonist, injected subcutaneously for 7 days in rats, and to observe changes of transcription factor NF-κB in the model. METHODS: Male SD rats weighing 280-320 g were injected with ISO (0.25 mg/kg/d) subcutaneously for 7 days to induce cardiac fibrosis. The collagen volume fraction was determined by quantitative morphometry of picrosirius red stained left ventricular sections. Collagen types I/III and IL-6 mRNA expressions were analyzed by real time PCR. The pathological changes of the heart were investigated by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. NF-κB was localized by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and phosphorylated NF-κB levels were assessed by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: Compared with the controls, ISO significantly elevated the sirius red stained area and collagen volume fraction (12.01±1.644 vs. 0.95±0.067, P<0.001). Similarly, ISO increased the mRNA expressions of collagen Iand collagen III of the heart compared with the controls (10.51±0.47 vs. 0.98±0.02,P<0.001 for collagen I; 9.58±1.33 vs. 1.02±0.02, P<0.001 for collagen III). The number of nuclei was increased and nuclear accumulation was presented in myocardial tissue induced by ISO. The mRNA expression of IL-6 increased in ISO group (1.64±0.18 vs. 1.04±0.07, P<0.01). ISO induced NF-κB nuclear translocation, accompanied by an increase in phosphorylation of NF-κB (10.83±2.05 vs. 1.05±0.27, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: We conclude that the model of cardiac fibrosis can be successfully induced by ISO injected subcutaneously for 7 days in rats and the activation of nuclear factor NF-κB increased by ß-adrenoceptor stimulation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Zhuhuang Frost (ZHF), an external preparation of Chinese herbal medicine, on level of hydroxy-proline (Hyp) in surgical wound after anal operation. METHODS: Fifty postoperational patients after low position simple operation of anal fistula were randomly divided into two groups and treated with ZHF and Mayinglong Musk hemorrhoidal paste (MMHP) respectively. The level of Hyp in granulation of wound was tested using alkaline hydrolysis assay at the 3rd, 7th and 14th day after operation respectively. RESULTS: The Hyp level tested at the 7th and 14th day after operation in the ZHF treated group was higher than that in the MMHP treated group, but those tested at the 3rd postoperational day in the two groups was not different significantly. CONCLUSION: ZHF could increase the Hyp level in postoperational granulation of wound after anal operation.

ABSTRACT

In previous papers, we reported flavonoids isolated from the leaves of Glycyrrhiza uralensis on the west of Inner Mongolia. Three of these flavonoids had the isoprenyl on the B ring, one was phenolic glucoside and six were flavonoidic glucosides. In the present paper, we report the isolation and identification of flavonoids from the leaves of this plant. The structures of these compounds have been identified as 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-5'- isoprenylflavone(I),5,6,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-6'-isopren ylfavone(II) and quercetin (III) by chemical method and spectroscopic analyses. I and II are new compounds and named uralenol-3-methylether and uralene, respectively. III was found for the first time in this species.
