To analyze and compare the effect of the combination of energy and density parameters of CO dot matrix laser in the hyperplastic stage of pediatric burn. A total of 160 pediatric patients with hypertrophic scar after limb burn from 2017 to 2020 were randomly divided into four parameter groups (n = 40). The patients were treated with ablative fraction carbon dioxide laser, once every 10 weeks.

Background: After severe trauma of lower limbs, bone, tendon or plate graft exposure is common. The traditional repair method is to use a variety of skin flap transplantation to cover the exposed part, but the wound often can not heal after operation, or the wound is cracked, ulcer, sinus, bone and steel plate are exposed again after wound healing. The reason for this result is that when the flap is covered, the space around the bone plate is not well closed, forming a dead cavity, blood and exudate accumulation, hematoma formation or infection, and finally the wound ruptures again.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) in regulating burn-induced acute lung injury (ALI).

Methods: In this study, we initially isolated exosomes from hUCMSCs and identified them by transmission electron microscopy. The expression of the protein markers CD9 and CD63 in the exosomes was determined by western blot analysis.

Due to the thinness of the skin and soft tissues in the foot, tendons and bones tend to become exposed and necrotic after injury; therefore, it is difficult to reconstruct foot injuries, especially distally. Reconstruction with free skin flaps is highly risky as it demands technologies and equipment, while patients suffer greatly from the use of cross-leg skin flaps. Sural neurofasciocutaneous flaps are often used for reconstruction of wounds in the lower leg, malleolus, and the proximal end of the foot but are not feasible for wound repair in the distal foot; this is because, with the pivot point of 5-7 cm above the tip of the lateral malleolus, the flaps are not able to cover defects in the distal foot.

Objective: To explore the better method of repairing the soft tissue defect of the distal foot.

Methods: The soft tissue defect in the distal foot of six patients were repaired by the distally based dorsum pedis island flap pedicled with the bust deep artery and(or) the first dorsal metatarsal artery.

Results: Six patients were repaired in one stage, the biggest defect was 8 cm x 6 cm, all patients were followed-up 1 to 4 years, the function of foot was evidently improved, the patients were all satisfied with the operative results.
