Early laparotomy and timely reconstruction for patients with abdominal electrical injury: Five Case Reports and Literature Review.

Introduction: High-tension electricity can cause devastating injuries that may result in abdominal wall loss, visceral damage, and sometimes major threat to life. The visceral organ may be exposed after debridement and require flap cover, but the tensile strength of abdominal wall may be lack even if flap transplanted.

Methods: From April 2007 through May 2015, 5 patients with severe abdominal electrical injury were treated at our hospital.

[Repair of wound on hand or foot due to electrical burn using free lateral upper arm perforator flap].

Objective: To observe the effect of free lateral upper arm perforator flap in repairing wound on hand or foot due to electrical burn.

Methods: Six patients with full-thickness wounds on hand or foot resulting from electrical burn were hospitalized from June 2010 to June 2013. The wounds ranged from 6.

[Repair of nose and adjacent tissue defect deformities after burn].

Objective: To look for the best method of repairing nose and adjacent tissue defect after burn and observe the effect.

Methods: Twelve patients with post-burn nose and adjacent tissue defect deformities hospitalized from January 1999 to December 2008 were repaired with expanded forehead flap, pedicled upper-arm flap, axial post-auricular reversed flow island flap, and nasolabial groove flap. Among them, 4 cases with total nasal defect, 8 cases with partial nasal defect; and 3 cases were accompanied with scars on cheek, 5 cases accompanied with scars on forehead, 5 cases accompanied with upper lip ectropion and subtotal upper lip defect.

Preliminary proteomic analysis of circulating polymorphonuclear neutrophils from rabbits experiencing scald injury and Staphylococcus aureus sepsis.

Background: The aim of this study is to identify the differentially expressed proteins in circulating polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) from scalded bacteremia rabbits infected with Staphylococcus aureus to provide a basis to reveal the pathogenesis of burns and sepsis.

Methods: Rabbits were subjected to sham burn (A), A + bacterial challenge (B), 30% scald injury (C), or C + bacterial challenge (D). Bacterial challenge was inflicted as an injection of 2.

Proteomic change of peripheral lymphocytes from scald injury and Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis in rabbits.

Background: Increased susceptibility to infection has been related to impairment of lymphocyte-regulated immune responses after severe burn. The aim of this study is to identify the differential expression of proteins in circulating lymphocytes from scald injury and Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis in rabbits to provide a basis for pathogenesis of burns and sepsis.

Methods: Rabbits were subjected to sham burn (A), 30% scald (B), A+bacterial challenge (C) or B+bacterial challenge (D).

[Proteomic change in lymphocytes of scalded rabbits caused by Staphylococcus aureus invasion].

Objective: To study the proteomic change in lymphocytes of rabbits with scald injury and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) invasion.

Methods: Twenty-four rabbits were divided into four groups as follows: control group, scald group, scald with SA invasion 2 hs group, and scald with SA invasion 6 hs group, according to random number table, with 6 rabbits in each group. Except for rabbits in control group (sham scald at 37 degrees C), rabbits in the other 3 groups were subjected to 30% TBSA full-thickness scald.

[Proteomic study of peripheral blood lymphocytes of rabbits with severe burn and Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis].

Objective: To study the effect of severe burn and Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis on the proteomics of lymphocytes (LCs) of rabbits.

Methods: Twenty-four rabbits were divided into four groups, i.e.

[Application of latissimus dorsi flap in different forms in repair of skin and soft tissue defects in lower extremities].

Objective: To explore repair methods of skin and soft tissue defects in lower extremities with free latissimus dorsi flaps.

Methods: Forty-two patients with wounds and soft tissue defects in lower extremities, including 4 cases on knee, 22 cases on leg, 15 cases on ankle and foot, 1 case with extensive avulsion from knee to dorsum of foot, were hospitalized in our unit from February 1996 to February 2008. Wounds or soft tissue defects were respectively repaired with latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps, latissimus dorsi muscle flaps, latissimus dorsi perforator flaps with preserved vascular sleeves, 2 double-leaf segmental latissimus dorsi compound flaps after debridement.

[Repair of the scar in the midface by skin expansion with parallel juxtaposed skin expanders].

Objective: To explore a new method for the repair of the scar in the midface.

Methods: Parallel juxtaposed expansion of the skin and soft-tissue of jaw, face, neck and posterior aspect of auricle was performed to repair the scar in the midface of 15 patients. The operation consisted of two steps.

[The use of composite sodium lactate and sorbitol composition in fluid resuscitation for shock in patients with major burn].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of the use of sodium lactate and sorbitol (CISS) in the fluid resuscitation for shock in patients with major burns.

Methods: Fifty - three adult patients with major burns (hospitalized within 6 hours after burns) were randomly divided into A (n = 24, with i.v.

[Long-term result of repair of deeply burned hands with large sheet of split-thickness autoskin grafting with the preservation of denatured dermis].

Objective: To evaluate the long-term results of repair of burn hands with large sheet of split-thickness autoskin grafting with the preservation of denatured dermis.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-two hands in 86 burn patients with deep partial thickness and full thickness burn were enrolled in the study. The burned hands were treated by tangential excision and grafted with large sheet of split-thickness autoskin with the preservation of denatured dermis.
