Acute and chronic wounds seriously threaten patients' life health and quality of life, therefore, wound repair has become a hot topic of research for scholars at home and abroad in recent years. With the development of material science and tissue engineering, more and more biomaterials prepared from natural ingredients were used in basic research and clinical treatment of wound repair. Such biomaterials can be used as templates for wound tissue regeneration to induce autologous cell adhesion and migration, and promote the deposition of extracellular matrix, which have broad clinical application prospects. This paper reviews the characteristics and application advance of natural biomaterials which are popular in the field of wound repair, aiming to provide ideas for the research and development of new wound dressing and tissue engineering skin.
Inflammation is generally considered as a pathological process, and the occurrence of multi-organ inflammatory diseases is usually accompanied by an inflammatory response. Persistent inflammation can eventually lead to organ dysfunction. In recent years, the study of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes has found its unique anti-inflammatory effect, which provides a new idea for the treatment of multi-organ inflammatory diseases. This article reviews the effect of mesenchymal stem cell exosomes on multi-organ inflammatory diseases.
Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of ultra-pulsed fractional carbon dioxide laser (UFCL) in the treatment of mild to moderate microstomia after burns.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted on 19 patients with mild to moderate microstomia after burns who were admitted to Inner Mongolia Baogang Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022, including 15 males and 4 females aged (35±14) years. Patients had an average course of 71 d of microstomia, with 8 cases of moderate microstomia and 11 cases of mild microstomia. All the patients received UFCL treatment every 2-3 months until the microstomia was corrected or the treatment bottleneck was reached. The times of UFCL treatment for patients and the time interval from the last treatment to the last follow-up were recorded. Before the first treatment and at the last follow-up, the opening degree of mouth (finger measurement method), oral gap width, and the distance between the upper and lower incisors during mouth opening were recorded. Before the first treatment and at the last treatment, the new Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar. At the last follow-up, the degree of satisfaction was evaluated by the Likert 5 scale by the patients themselves, and the satisfaction ratio was calculated; the adverse reactions such as pigmentation, blisters, infection, and persistent erythema in the treatment area were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney rank sum test or paired sample t test. Results:Patients received UFCL treatment of 3 (2, 6) times. The interval from the last treatment to the last follow-up was 26 months at most and 4 months at least. At the last follow-up, the opening degree of mouth of patients was significantly improved than that before treatment ( Z=4.68, P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the oral gap width of patients was (35±6) mm, and the distance between upper and lower incisors during mouth opening was (3.2±0.4) cm, which was significantly improved compared with those before treatment (with t values of 10.73 and 18.97, respectively, P<0.01). The VSS score after the last treatment was 4.1±1.6, which was significantly better than that before treatment ( t=22.96, P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the satisfaction ratio of patients with treatment was 18/19, and no pigmentation, blisters, infection, persistent erythema, and other adverse reactions of all patients in the treatment area occurred, however, one of the patients reported that the disease recurred about half a year after treatment. Conclusions:UFCL is an effective method for treating mild to moderate microstomia after burns, with which patients are highly satisfied, and it is worth of further study and promotion.
Wound is normal skin tissue damage caused by physical, chemical, pathogenic microorganisms or local blood circulation obstacle. Wound repair is an increasingly important global problem, and dressings play an important role in wound repair. Selecting appropriate dressings according to the specific conditions of the wound can prevent wound infection and improve the comfort of patients in the treatment process. However, there are various types and characteristics of dressings in clinical practice, so how to choose dressings is a difficult problem faced by clinicians. This paper reviews the characteristics and indications of various new wound dressings, aiming to provide reference for clinicians to select appropriate wound dressings.
Burns are a common traumatic injuries with considerable morbidity and mortality rates. Post-burn intestinal injuries are closely related to oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The aim of the current study was to investigate the combined effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) and probiotics (PROB) on severe burn-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory response and the underlying mechanism of action. Sprague-Dawley rats with severe burns were treated with NaB with or without PROB. Pathomorphology of skin and small intestine tissue was observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining and severe burn-induced apoptosis in small intestine tissue was examined via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay. The release of factors related to inflammation was quantified using ELISA kits and qRT-PCR and levels of oxidative stress markers were evaluated using biochemical assays. Furthermore, mitochondrial morphological changes in small intestinal epithelial cells were observed using transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the underlying mechanism associated with the combined effect of NaB and PROB on severe burn-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory response was investigated using western blotting. The combination of NaB and PROB exerted protective effects against severe burn-induced intestinal barrier injury by reducing the levels of diamine oxidase and intestinal fatty acid binding protein. Combined NaB and PROB treatment inhibited severe burn-induced oxidative stress by increasing superoxide dismutase levels and decreasing those of malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels. Severe burn-induced inflammation was suppressed by combined NaB and PROB administration, as demonstrated by the decreased mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and high mobility group box-1 in the small intestine. In addition, this study showed that combined NaB and PROB administration increased nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein expression and decreased the phosphorylation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2). In conclusion, our findings indicate that combined NaB and PROB treatment may inhibit severe burn-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in the small intestine by regulating HMGB1/NF-κB and ERK1/2/Nrf2 signaling, thereby providing a new therapeutic strategy for intestinal injury induced by severe burn.
