[Clinical application and long-term follow-up study of acellular dermal matrix combined with auto-skin grafting].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) combined with auto-skin grafting on deep burn wound ,and the result of long-term follow-up and histological examination.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-two patients with deep burn hospitalized from February 2000 to July 2003 were repaired with porcine ADM and auto split-thickness graft. Wound healing rate was assessed 1 week after operation.

[Treatment of deep partial thickness burns by a single dressing of porcine acellular dermal matrix].

Objective: To explore the effect of one dressing of porcine acellular dermal matrix on deep partial thickness burns.

Methods: From January 1997 to January 2004, sixty-seven cases of deep partial thickness total burned surface area (TBSA) from 50% to 90% burn wound were treated by a single dressing of porcine acellular dermal matrix (the porcine acellular dermal matrix group). Ten cases of deep partial thickness burned patients with the same TBSA treated by exposure method served as the exposure method group.

[The volume change of micronized acellular dermal matrix after injection].

Objective: To explore a new injectable material.

Methods: Micronized swine acellular dermal matrix was injected into the ear of rabbits. The augmentation was observed and measured with pathological and transmission electron microscopic technique.

[Porcine acellular dermal matrix in the treatment of deep partial-thickness burns in human].

Objective: To investigate the possibility of treating deep partial-thickness burns by closed dressing of the wounds with porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and evaluate the therapeutic effects.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 128 cases of burn patients who received treatment with porcine ADM within the period from January 1998 to January 2002 in our hospital. Different procedures were adopted according to the degree of the burn injury.
