Background. Patients’ clinical antibiotic treatment of deep II degree burns usually fails to achieve the ideal effect; in order to avoid the late result in pigmentation, scarring, and even limb dysfunction, it also needs to deal effectively with burn wounds. Aim. The purpose of this study is to evaluate nanosilver dressing in treating deep II degree burn wound infection in patients with clinical studies. Materials and Methods. 106 burn patients were classified into the Sulfadiazine Silver Cream (SSC) group ( n = 53 ) and the Nanosilver Burn Dressing (NSBD) group ( n = 53 ). Both of them received basic wound treatment, and wound healing time and pigmentation fading away time of all patients were recorded. And the wound healing rate of the patients was calculated. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) were detected pre- and posttreatment. Results. After basic treatment for all patients, Sulfadiazine Silver Cream was used in the SSC group, and Nanosilver Burn Dressing was used in the NSBD group. It was observed that after treatment, compared with the SSC group, there was significant efficiency; wound healing rate, healing time, and pigmentation fading away time were shortened in the NSBD group, and IL-1β levels were decreased, and the positive rate of bacterial culture was decreased (all P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Nanosilver Burn Dressing in treating deep II degree burns can effectively reduce the wound infection and promote wound healing. The curative effect was distinct, which was worthy of popularization and application.

Second-degree burn is the most common type of burn wound in the clinics, which presents a deeper wound, skin blisters, white or red bottom, and thick and clear fluid inside, is sensitive to tenderness, and turns white by compression [1, 2]. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy of applying silver-zinc bacteriostatic cream to patients with second-degree burn under targeted nursing intervention and its effect on wound healing rate. A total of 110 patients with second-degree burn treated in our hospital from January 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the research object for the retrospective study. Between the experimental group and the control group, no statistical differences in patients’ general information were observed ( P > 0.05 ); 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks after treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores of the experimental group were significantly lower ( P < 0.05 ); and the total incidence rate of adverse reactions was remarkably lower in the experimental group ( P < 0.05 ). On the basis of targeted nursing intervention, applying silver-zinc bacteriostatic cream obtains an obviously better clinical efficacy than silver sulfadiazine ointment in treating second-degree burn and works better in promoting wound healing, relieving pain sensation, and reducing adverse reactions.

Objective. To explore the effect of combining immersion therapy with Shengji ointment on wound healing rate and adverse reaction rate (ARR) in patients with second-degree burn. Methods. The data of 80 patients with second-degree burn treated in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed by the means of retrospective study, and the patients were equally divided into the treatment group and the control group according to their admission order, with 40 cases each. Immersion therapy was performed to all patients (7 d); after that, patients in the control group received routine medication (7 d), and those in the treatment group were treated with Shengji ointment until the wounds were healed, so as to compare their wound healing condition, ARRs, levels of inflammatory factors, and infection incidence. Results. Compared with the control group after treatment, the treatment group presented significantly shorter wound healing time (12.14 ± 1.26 vs. 15.98 ± 1.20, P  < 0.001), better wound healing rate and quality ( P  < 0.05), and lower levels of inflammatory factors ( P  < 0.001); no significant between-group difference in ARRs was shown ( P  > 0.05); 34 patients in the treatment group (85.0%) and 26 patients in the control group (65.0%) had no infections, so the incidence rate of infections was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Combining immersion therapy with Shengji ointment can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors in patients with second-degree burn, lower the incidence rate of infections, provide the conditions for wound healing, and increase the wound healing rate, which shall be promoted and applied in practice.

IntroductionIt is uncertain whether treatment by recombinant human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) can promote healing of deep second-degree burns. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically review and assess randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the efficacy and safety of rhGM-CSF for treating deep second-degree burns.MethodsThis meta-analysis conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline and Embase databases and relevant references were systematically searched for RCTs (published up to November 2019). Main outcome measures included the wound healing rate, wound healing time and average optical densities of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF). We performed a meta-analysis using fixed or random effects models.ResultsSeven RCTs comprising 982 patients with 1184 burns (652 patients received rhGM-CSF vs 532 controls) were included. Compared with standard wound care alone, the use of rhGM-CSF significantly reduced wound healing time by 4.77 days (weighted mean difference=−4.77; 95% CI −6.45 to −3.09; p<0.001) and significantly increased the wound healing rate on days 7, 10, 14 and 20 by 6.46%, 19.78%, 17.07% and 11.38%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the groups in the wound healing rate on day 28 and average optical densities of VEGF and FGF. No systematic adverse event occurred. Redder, more swollen and painful wounds were reported after using rhGM-CSF compared with the control.ConclusionsrhGM-CSF could be effective and safe for treating deep second-degree burns.

Pressure ulcer or pressure sore is one of the complications seen in bedridden patients. Management of these ulcers is often challenging. But there is no well-established method that accelerates the wound healing rate. Various adjunctive methods are used for wound bed preparation before definitive reconstruction plan is made. Here we describe our experience in the role of insulin therapy as an adjunct in the management of pressure sores.

Abstract Background: The incidence of frailty and chronic wounds increases with patients’ age. Knowledge of the relationship between frailty and wound healing progress is greatly lacking. Methods: The aim of this study is to characterize the degree of frailty in elderly patients attending a multidisciplinary wound care centers (MWCC). Additionally, we seek to assess the impact of frailty on the wound healing rate and wound healing time. An open cohort study was conducted on 51 consecutive patients aged > 70 years treated for wounds at an MWCC of an intermediate care hospital. The frailty score was determined according to the Frail-VIG index. Data were collected through patient questionnaires at the beginning of the study, and at six months or upon wound healing. Wounds were followed up every two weeks. To analyze the relationship between two variables was used the Chi-square test and Student’s or the ANOVA model. The t-test for paired data was used to analyze the evolution of the frailty index during follow-up.Results: A total of 51 consecutive patients were included (aged 81.1 ± 6.1 years). Frailty prevalence was 74.5% according to the Frail-VIG index (47.1% mildly frail, 19.6% moderately frail, and 7.8% severely frail). Wounds healed in 69.6% of cases at six months. The frailty index (FI) was higher in patients with non-healing wounds in comparison with patients with healing wounds (IF 0.31 ± 0.15 vs IF 0.24 ± 0.11, p=0.043). A strong correlation between FI and wound healing results was observed in patients with non-venous ulcers (FI 0.37 ± 0.13 vs FI 0.27 ± 0.10, p=0.015). However, no correlation was observed in patients with venous ulcers (FI 0.17 ± 0.09 vs FI 0.19 ± 0.09, p=0.637). Wound healing rate is statically significantly higher in non-frail patients (3,26% wound reduction/day, P25-P75 0.8-8.8%/day) in comparison with frail patients (8.9% wound reduction/day, P25-P75 3.34-18.3%/day; p=0.044). Conclusion: Frailty is prevalent in elderly patients treated at an MWCC. Frailty degree is correlated with wound healing results and wound healing time.

Background/Aims: We have developed a mixed-cell sheet consisting of autologous fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells with a high potency for angiogenesis and wound healing against refractory cutaneous ulcers in mouse and rabbit models. To increase the effectiveness of the mixed sheet, we developed a multilayered mixed sheet. Methods: We assessed the therapeutic effects of multilayered sheets on cutaneous ulcers in mice. Growth factors and chemokines were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Angiogenesis and fibroblast migration were measured by using tube formation and migration assays. Wound healing rate of cutaneous ulcers was evaluated in mice with diabetes mellitus. Results: The concentration of secreted vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, transforming growth factor, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)-1, and CXCL-2 in multilayered sheets was much higher than that in single-layered mixed-cell sheets (single-layered sheets) and multilayered sheets of fibroblasts alone (fibroblast sheets). The supernatant in multilayered sheets enhanced angiogenic potency and fibroblast migration compared with single-layered and fibroblast sheets in an in vitro experiment. The wound healing rate in the multilayered sheet-treated group was higher compared with the no-treatment group (control) at the early stage of healing. Moreover, both vessel lumen area and microvessel density in tissues treated with multilayered sheets were significantly increased compared with tissues in the control group. Conclusion: Multilayered sheets promoted wound healing and microvascular angiogenesis in the skin by supplying growth factors and cytokines. Accordingly, our data suggest that multilayered sheets may be a promising therapeutic material for refractory cutaneous ulcers.
