Results A total of 821 patients with extensively deep burns were included in 15 studies, including 410 patients in microskin group who received microskin grafting and 411 patients in Meek microskin group who received Meek microskin grafting. find more The bias risks of the 15 studies included were uncertain. Compared with those of microskin group, the survival rate of skin graft and primary healing rate of patients in Meek microskin group were significantly increased, with relative risks of 0.76 and 0.66 (95% confidence interval=0.66-0.88, 0.50-0.88, P0.05), while the primary healing rate and surgical treatment cost had publication bias (P less then 0.01). Conclusions Compared with microskin grafting, Meek microskin grafting improves the rates of skin graft survival and primary healing, shortens operation time, wound healing time, and length of hospital stay, and reduces the treatment cost in treating extensively deep burn wounds.Objective To explore the effects of early exogenous L-carnitine supplementation on renal function in severely scalded rats. Methods According to the random number table, sixty-six adult female Sprague-Dawly rats were divided into healthy control group (n=6), scald alone group (n=30), and scald+ carnitine group (n=30). In the latter two groups, the rats were inflicted with full-thickness scald of 30% total body surface area on the back, and the lactated Ringer's solution was injected through the tail vein for resuscitation immediately after scald. At post injury hour (PIH) 1, rats in scald+ carnitine group were intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/mL L-carnitine solution 400 mg/kg, while rats in scald alone group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline. Rats in these two groups were injected once every 24 hours thereafter. Six rats were taken from each of scald alone group and scald+ carnitine group to collect the renal tissue and abdominal aorta blood at PIH 6, 12, 24, 48, and clei disappeared, the tubular lumen was narrowed, necrotic exfoliated cells could be seen in the lumen, and edema and inflammatory cell infiltration could be seen in the renal interstitial. Compared with those of scald alone group, significantly reduced severity of edema and necrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells, as well as less inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in the renal tissue of rats in scald+ carnitine group. Conclusions Early supplement of L-carnitine in severely scalded rats can reduce the damage of renal cells, accelerate the restoration of the content of total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, and cystatin C, thereby maintaining the stability of renal function metabolism level.Objective To explore the efficacy of hierarchical medical mode path management on the continuous treatment for chronic wound patients. Methods From June 2017 to September 2018, the clinical data of 101 patients with chronic wounds who were just discharged from Department of Wound Repair of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University (hereafter referred to as the author's affiliation) and still needed continuous treatment, meeting the inclusion criteria, were analyzed with the method of retrospective cohort study. Based on the management method of continuous treatment after discharge, the patients were divided into path management group (52 patients, 27 males and 25 females, aged (44±6) years, 57 wounds) and conventional management group (49 patients, 26 males and 23 females, aged (45±6) years, 53 wounds). The patients in path management group were carried out with full-path management under hierarchical medical mode, and the patients in conventional management group were carried out with conventional contieffective rate of wound treatment, reduce the times of debridement and dressing change and treatment cost, and improve their psychological state.Objective To investigate the effect of modified double negative-pressure wound therapy combined with debridement and tension-reduced suture in treatment of stage 4 pressure sores and infection in sacrococcygeal region and its surrounding area. Methods From January 2015 to June 2019, 20 patients with stage 4 pressure sores and infection in sacrococcygeal region and its surrounding area were admitted to Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology of Linyi People's Hospital. Among them, there were 11 males and 9 females, aged 48 to 88 years. The wounds of 13 patients were located in the sacrococcygeal region, and 8 of them had exposed sacrococcyx. The wounds of 4 patients were located in the greater trochanter area of femur, and the wounds of 3 patients were located in the ischial tuberosity area. All the patients had fever in different degree, bacterial infection, hypoproteinemia, and electrolyte imbalance, etc. at admission. After thorough debridement and dressing change, routine negative-pressure ced suture for treatment of patients with stage 4 pressure sores and infection in sacrococcygeal region and its surrounding area is easy to operate with minimal injury, easy for patients to accept with a very high level of satisfaction, and is suitable to popularize and applicate for primary hospitals.Objective To preliminarily observe the clinical effects of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in the treatment of alkali burn wounds. Methods From June 2016 to March 2020, 60 male patients with alkali burns who met the inclusion criteria and hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University were recruited in this prospectively randomized control study. According to the random number table, silver sulfadiazine group and VSD group were both allocated with 30 patients, aged (36±8) and (35±10) years respectively; with total burn area of (7.2±2.0) % and (8.5±3.0) % total body surface area respectively. After admission, patients in silver sulfadiazine group were treated with conventional silver sulfadiazine dressing change once a day after debridement; patients in VSD group were given continuous VSD treatment after debridement, with the negative pressure setting at -10.67 kPa, and the negative pressure materials were replaced every 6 to 8 days. On treatment day 1, 4, and 7, the exudate from the wounds of patients in silver sulfadiazine group and the wound drainage fluid of patients in VSD group were collected, the pH value was measured by a portable pH meter, and the volume of exudate/drainage fluid was measured.
