Partial Thickness Burn

Backgrounds: The body has its own bioelectric system that influences wound healing. Wireless Micro Current Stimulation (WMCS) or Electrical Stimulation (ES) is defined as the use of an electrical current to transfer energy to a wound. The type of electricity transferred is controlled by the electrical source. Although scarce, there have been studies proposing that this type of electricity increased healing rate of various wounds. However the effect of this electrical stimulation on burn wounds has not yet been studied.Patient and Methods: We present case series of superficial and deep partial thickness burns treated with ES and examine its effect on healing process. Six cases of second degree burn admitted to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM) from March–May 2011. They were chosen randomly to be treated with WMCS/ES. We applied the stimulation on the wound one hour daily. The wound was cleansed conventionally with moist gauze before and after the stimulation.Results: All the patients reported that they feel comfort during and after the application. We found epithelialization within 6 to 9 days. However we cannot determined if the WCMS/ES induce faster wound healing, because we do not compare it with other treatment. Summary: From six cases that we studied, we concluded that, the use of this WCMS/ES could have an effect of the epithelialization within 6-9 days. All the patients reported that they feel comfort during and after the application of WMCS/ES.

(1) Background: Wounds with damages to the subcutaneous are difficult to regenerate because of the tissue damages and complications such as bacterial infection. (2) Methods: In this study, we created burn wounds on pigs and investigated the efficacy of three biomaterials: polycaprolactone-gelatin-silver membrane (PCLGelAg) and two commercial burn dressings, Aquacel® Ag and UrgoTulTM silver sulfadiazine. In vitro long-term antibacterial property and in vivo wound healing performance were investigated. Agar diffusion assays were employed to evaluate bacterial inhibition at different time intervals. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and time-kill assays were used to compare antibacterial strength among samples. Second-degree burn wounds in the pig model were designed to evaluate the efficiency of all dressings in supporting the wound healing process. (3) Results: The results showed that PCLGelAg membrane was the most effective in killing both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria bacteria with the lowest MBC value. All three dressings (PCLGelAg, Aquacel, and UrgoTul) exhibited bactericidal effect during the first 24 h, supported wound healing as well as prevented infection and inflammation. (4) Conclusions: The results suggest that the PCLGelAg membrane is a practical solution for the treatment of severe burn injury and other infection-related skin complications.

Abstract In this study, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on deep partial-thickness burns in Bama pigs. Deep partial-thickness burn wounds were created on the back of Bama pigs. The reepithelialization time was compared between the PRP and control groups. The mean score of Ki67 (+) cells and α-SMA (+) vessels, the mean thickness of epidermis and dermis of the healing wounds were determined via H&E staining and immunohistochemical assay. The levels of the growth factors epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were examined by ELISA. Our data showed that the time to wound reepithelialization was shorter in the PRP group compared with the control group. The thickness of the epidermis was larger in the PRP group compared with the control group. On the 7th and 14th days after the treatment, the mean score of Ki67 (+) cells and α-SMA (+) vessels were higher in the PRP group compared with the control group. The PRP group showed higher levels of growth factors (EGF, bFGF, and VEGF) compared with the control group by ELISA. The results indicated that PRP could improve wound healing process of deep partial-thickness burns in Bama pigs. The PRP increased the thickness of epidermis of the healed wounds, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. We demonstrated that applying PRP had a greater potential for the treatment of deep partial-thickness burns.

Wound healing has been the burning problem in a surgical practice because of a remarkable increase in the number of traumatic cases. A wound causes a number of changes in the body that can affect the healing process, including changes in energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin and mineral metabolism. Various Ayurveda literatures, particularly, Sushruta Samhita, which is said to be an ancient textbook of surgery in Ayurveda, has mentioned about the diet for the person suffering from the wound, and the author said that diet plays a very important role in the wound healing process. Sushruta - The father of surgery has scientifically classified it in a systemic manner, whose wealth of clinical material and the principles of management are valid even today. Shalya Tantra (surgical branch in Ayurveda Science) is one of the important branch of Ayurveda, in which surgical and para-surgical techniques has described for management of various diseases. Vrana is the most important and widely described chapter of Shalya Tantra. Vrana (wound) is one of them, which have been managed by human being from starting of civilization. Under the circumstances, the first thing which the men came across was the injury from different sources which caused him the Vrana. Vrana is seen as debilitating and scaring disorder, usually seen affecting the human being at any age. Well balanced nutrition plays an essential role in the wound healing.

AbstractSkin is the body’s first barrier against external pathogens that maintains the homeostasis of the body. Any serious damage to the skin could have an impact on human health and quality of life. Tissue engineering aims to improve the quality of damaged tissue regeneration. One of the most effective treatments for skin tissue regeneration is to improve angiogenesis during the healing period. Over the last decade, there has been an impressive growth of new potential applications for nanobiomaterials in tissue engineering. Various approaches have been developed to improve the rate and quality of the healing process using angiogenic nanomaterials. In this review, we focused on molecular mechanisms and key factors in angiogenesis, the role of nanobiomaterials in angiogenesis, and scaffold-based tissue engineering approaches for accelerated wound healing based on improved angiogenesis.

Partial Thickness Burn

In burn injuries, risk factors and limitations to treatment success are difficult to assess clinically. However, local cellular responses are characterized by specific gene-expression patterns. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, non-coding RNAs that regulate mRNA expression on a posttranscriptional level. Secreted through exosome-like vesicles (ELV), miRNAs are intracellular signalers and epigenetic regulators. To date, their role in the regulation of the early burn response remains unclear. Here, we identified 43 miRNAs as potential regulators of the early burn response through the bioinformatics analysis of an existing dataset. We used an established human ex vivo skin model of a deep partial-thickness burn to characterize ELVs and miRNAs in dermal interstitial fluid (dISF). Moreover, we identified miR-497-5p as stably downregulated in tissue and dISF in the early phase after a burn injury. MiR-218-5p and miR-212-3p were downregulated in dISF, but not in tissue. Target genes of the miRNAs were mainly upregulated in tissue post-burn. The altered levels of miRNAs in dISF of thermally injured skin mark them as new biomarker candidates for burn injuries. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report miRNAs altered in the dISF in the early phase of deep partial-thickness burns.

Wounds are nothing but any damage to the tissue or skin that can be healed. The wound healing process is usually built in the human body to self heal many wounds. When there is an injury in the body, there is an inflammatory response that is generated in the body, and the cells begin to raise the collagen levels in the skin which enables to increase the healing process. Ficus species of plants are famous for their potency to treat diseases in various Indian systems of medicine and the tree is commonly called as a banyan. Especially the plant in the species benghalensis is used to treat rheumatism, wounds and other skin related problems like an ulcer. The herbal gels were prepared using the incorporation of the aqueous extracts of the plant Ficus benghalensis into carbopol gel. They were investigated for the wound healing potential compared to the betadine drug standard. The gels at a concentration 200mg/g of the gel showed better activity compared to the gel at 100mg/g and the standard drug, betadine.
