[The delivery of medical care to burn patients who can return to duty, their treatment and rehabilitation at medical evacuation stages].

On the basis of clinical and medico-statistic data the article describes the main medical and evacuation indices of slight or middle-severity burn injured. The paper contains characteristics of medical care, settles the patient holding period, discusses methods and indications for rehabilitation measures depending on residual pathological disorders.

[The autotransplantation of keratinocytes grown outside the body to treat extensive burns].

The method of cultivation of keratinocytes from burned patients allows obtaining a new type of wound coverings having advantages over those used at present in clinical practice. The use of autologous cell elements results in a rapid and perfect taking of the transplanted layers. The method allows a more rapid (3-4 weeks after trauma) and more efficient (the plasty coefficient 1:100 and more) recovery of the skin as compared with traditional methods of treatment.

[Skin microtransplantation in the surgery of burns (a clinico-experimental study)].

On the basis of experimental and clinical investigations the authors have shown that extensive burns in patients with true deficiency of donor resources might be treated by the method of micro-transplantation of the skin which consists in plasty of the wounds by pieces of auto-skin of small size. The reduction of size of the skin pieces gives the enlargement of the total line of marginal epithelialization and great plasty coefficient as compared with traditional methods of surgical treatment.

Ability of microautotransplants to re-epithelialize deep and extensive skin injuries.

Experiments with rats of different ages have established the potential of microautotransplants (MATR) of skin (0.5-3.0 mm2 in size) to produce neoepidermis on fresh and granulating wounds.
