Publication trends of research on acute lung injury and acute respiration distress syndrome during 2009-2019: a 10-year bibliometric analysis.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common disease that usually progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with high morbidity and mortality. We aim to analyze the trends in ALI/ARDS, and to compare the differences in aspects of years, countries, institutions, journals, etc. Methods: We screened all relevant literature on ALI/ARDS from Web of Science during 2009-2019, and analyzed the research trends in this field by VOSviewer.

[CLINICAL APPLICATION OF LIQUID WOUND DRESSING IN TREATMENT OF CHRONIC ULCER WOUNDS].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of liquid wound dressing in the treatment of chronic ulcer wounds.

Methods: Between January 2014 and October 2015, 84 patients with chronic ulcer wounds were included and divided into 2 groups randomly. The chronic ulcer wounds were covered with liquid wound dressing in the treatment group (=44) and were managed with iodophor in the control group (=40).

Knockdown of Burton's tyrosine kinase confers potent protection against sepsis-induced acute lung injury.

Sepsis is a common and critical complication in surgical patients that often leads to multiple organ failure syndrome (MOFS), including acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite intensive supportive care and treatment modalities, the mortality of these patients remains high. In this study, we investigated the role of Burton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a member of the Btk/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, in the pathogenesis of sepsis, and evaluated the protective effect of in vivo Btk RNA interference in a mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis.

Role of inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in liver dysfunction after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.

Background: The liver is one of the organs most frequently affected by trauma and hemorrhagic shock; the exact role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in response to hepatic hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (HS/R) remains unclear.

Materials And Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were divided into four groups: sham-operated group, SB-only group, control group, and SB + HS/R group. Hepatocellular injury (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL-1β) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression in the liver were assessed 6 h after resuscitation, p38 MAPK activation in the liver was assessed at 30 min after resuscitation.

Pathogenic alteration in severe burn wounds.

The present study aims to define the trend of time related changes with local bacterial alteration of bacterial resistance in severe burns in our burn center during a 12-year period. Retrospective analysis of microbiological results on severely burned wounds between 1998 and 2009 was carried out. A study of 3615 microbial isolates was performed.

Unplanned decannulation of tracheotomy tube in massive burn patients: a retrospective case series study.

Background: Unplanned extubation is associated with adverse outcomes in intensive care unit. The massive burn patient differs from other critically ill patients in many ways. However, little is known about the unplanned decannulation (UD) in Burn Intensive Care Unit.

TLR4 mediates lung injury and inflammation in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion.

Background: Splanchnic ischemia is common in critically ill patients, and it can result in injury not only of the intestine but also in distant organs, particularly in the lung. Local inflammatory changes play a pivotal role in the development of acute lung injury after intestinal ischemia, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We sought to examine the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the mouse model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury and inflammation.

mTOR partly mediates insulin resistance by phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 on serine(307) residues after burn.

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is an important mediator for cross talk between nutritional signals and metabolic signals of insulin by downregulating insulin receptor substrate proteins. Therefore, mTOR inhibition could become a therapeutic strategy in insulin-resistant states, including insulin resistance induced by burn. We tested this hypothesis in the rat model of 30% TBSA full thickness burn, using the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin.

Effects of early excision and grafting on cytokines and insulin resistance in burned rats.

Unlabelled: Burn wound excision and grafting is a common clinical practice that decreases patient morbidity and mortality. It is not known, however, if the salutary effects of this procedure are related to effects on interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) α, and to reducing insulin resistance after burn. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, burn, burn ± excision groups.

Burn injuries caused by ship fire: a 12-year study in Shanghai.

Unlabelled: The 105 patients admitted to our Burn Institute from 1st January 1996 to 31st December 2007, with ship fire-related burns were studied retrospectively. The mean age was 30.2+/-12.

[Repair of deep burn and traumatic wounds in lower extremities with combined transplantation of multiple pedicled skin flaps].

Objective: To summarize the clinical experience in repair of deep burn and traumatic wounds with combined transplantation of different types of pedicled skin flaps in lower extremities.

Methods: Two hundred and thirty-six patients with 271 deep wounds in lower extremities after burn or trauma were repaired with muscular skin flaps, local fascial flaps and island flaps with vascular pedicle (more than 20 types) in our department from Jan. 1998 to Sept.

Angiotensin II induces type I collagen gene expression in human dermal fibroblasts through an AP-1/TGF-beta1-dependent pathway.

Angiotensin II is critically involved in skin wound healing, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of angiotensin II on type I collagen gene activation in human dermal fibroblasts and the possible mechanism involved. Angiotensin II stimulated the mRNA and protein expression of type I collagen and TGF-beta1.

Prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction following severe burns: a summary of recent 30-year clinical experience.

Aim: To sum up the recent 30-year experience in the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction in severe burn patients, and propose practicable guidelines for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction.

Methods: From 1980 to 2007, a total of 219 patients with large area and extraordinarily large area burns (LAB) were admitted, who were classified into three stages according the therapeutic protocols used at the time: Stage 1 from 1980 to 1989, stage 2 from 1990 to 1995, and stage 3 from 1996 to 2007. The occurrence and mortality of GI dysfunction in patients of the three stages were calculated and the main causes were analyzed.

Randomized, multicenter, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial using topical recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor for deep partial-thickness burns and skin graft donor site.

Wound healing is a dynamic and complex biologic process that could be accelerated by growth factors. To investigate the efficacy of topical recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor (rh-aFGF) treatment in deep partial-thickness burn or skin graft donor sites, we designed a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial. The healing rate, fully healed rate, and healing time were evaluated to assess the efficacy of rh-aFGF application.
