Objective: The study was designed to examine pathological changes of inhalational laryngeal burns of three clinical types: congestive, oedematous and obstructive.
Methods: A total of 18 healthy, male, adult Beagle dogs were randomly assigned to inhale hot dry air at room temperature (group C), 80°C (Group 1), 160°C (Group 2) or 320°C (Group 3) for 20min to induce inhalation injury. Each larynx was evaluated and scored based on the 'clinical scoring and typing system of laryngeal burns at early stage'.

Objective: To evaluate the skin irritation and sensitization potential of the swine acellular dermal matrix treated with hyaluronic acid (SADM-HA).
Methods: (1) Skin irritation test. Twelve New Zealand rabbits were divided into SADM-HA group, allogeneic skin group, and (human) xeno-skin group according to the random number table, with 4 rabbits in each group.
Background: Airway tissue shows unexpected invulnerability to heated air. The mechanisms of this phenomenon are open to debate.
Objective: This study was designed to measure the surface temperatures at different locations of the airway, and to explore the relationship between the tissue's surface temperature and injury severity.
Background: Infection due to pandrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PDRPA) has become a challenge in clinical practice. The aim of this research was to summarize the treatment of large-area burns (60% - 80%) with PDRPA infection and respiratory failure in our hospital over the last two years, and to explore a feasible treatment protocol for such patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the treatment of five patients with large-area burns accompanied by PDRPA infection and respiratory failure transferred to our hospital from burn units in hospitals in other Chinese cities from January 2008 to February 2010.
