1.Does risk exist in severe burned patients applied with recombinant growth hormone?
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2009;17(1):4-6
Effectiveness of recombinant human growth hormone ( rhGH) in treating critically ill or severe burned patients have been demonstrated. Although adverse effects of rhGH have also been identified, they are controllable. The dosage and timing of rhGH must be well designed, and hyperglycemia be controlled. Application of rhGH in critically ill patients should be deliberately considered.

Chronic diseases (ChDs) today constitute the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Increasing evidence suggests that the production and development of ChDs are associated with amplified inflammation, which is caused by accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipexidation end products (ALEs).Heating, irradiation, and ionization, in combination with gross over-nutrition, significantly contribute to production of, exposure to and accumulation in the body of AGEs/ALEs. Furthermore, dietary AGEs restriction in animals seemed to be effective to extend life span. This paper elucidates the relationship between food and AGEs and the dietary measures to reduce AGEs/ALEs with an attempt to provide new methods for prevention and treatment of ChDs.

Objective To observe the infection prevention, wound healing effect and safety of nanometer silver in treatment of Ⅱ degree burn wound. Methods The patients with 6%-10% TBSA Ⅱ degree burn wound ( deep or superficial) were randomly divided into test group ( treated with nanome-ter silver, n =35) and control group (treated with 1% sulfadiazine silver, n =35). Each group was reg-ulated to change dressing and medication one time a day for seven days on 5% superficial Ⅱ degree burn wound. Then, 1% iodophors and gauze were used for change dressing. Before and after change dressing, bacterial culture was done in two groups to observe the time for wound healing. The blood collected before change dressing and at days 1,7 and 14 after change dressing and urine within 24 hours were employed for detecting serum silver level and mean silver level in urine by using inductively coupled plasma mass-spec-trum ( thermoelectricity of American Ⅹ Series Ⅱ ). In the meantime, the liver and renal function was e-valuated at days 7 and 14. Results Positive rate of bacterial culture in test group and control group was 3% and 3.1% respectively after treatment, which showed a decrease compared with the levels before treatment (12. 1% and 15.6% respectively), with no statistical difference. The wound healing time of test group was (9. 18 ± 1.9) days, which was shorter than ( 12.9 ± 1.3 ) days in control group, with sta-tistical difference (P<0.01). Before treatment, the silver level of blood was ( 1.55 ± 1.26) μL and ( 1.54 ± 1.28 ) μg/L respectively in test group and control group, and silver level of urine within 24 hours was ( 1.67 ± 1.05 ) μg and ( 1.87 ± 1.37) μg respectively test group and control group, with no statistical difference (P > 0. 05 ). Silver medication could elevate the serum silver level ( P < 0.01 ), with lower level in test group than control group (P <0. 01 ). Average silver level of urine within 24 hours showed similar change with that in the serum. The patients showed normal renal function, with no abnormal change of ALT. Conclusions For Ⅱ degree burn wound, nanometer silver can more significantly short-en wound healing time compared with sulfadiazine silver. Moreover, nanometer silver has higher degree of safety on silve metabolism and is an ideal medcation for burn wound.

Chinese Journal of Burns 2017;33(8):473-475
The essential internal environment in human being involves water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, which is the basis of balance and stability of internal environment in other systems. For burn patients, the balance of internal environment, referring to metabolism, nutrition, inflammatory response, and immunoreaction, is one of the most important aspects in burn disease. This paper aims to briefly elaborate the balance of internal environment after burn, with the purpose to promote the basic and clinical research in this field.

Objective:
To explore the effects of endostatin pretreatment on fibrosis of human skin fibroblasts and the mechanisms.
Methods:
Human skin fibroblasts were routinely cultured in vitro, and then the cells of passage 3 to 5 were used in the following experiments. The cells were divided into blank control, endostatin, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), endostatin+ PDGF-BB, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and endostatin+ TGF-β1 groups according to the random number table, with 3 wells in each group. Cells in blank control group were cultured with DMEM medium for 24 h. Cells in endostatin group were cultured with DMEM medium containing 5 μg/mL endostatin for 24 h. Cells in PDGF-BB group and TGF-β1 group were cultured with DMEM medium containing 200 ng/mL PDGF-BB and 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 24 h, respectively. Cells in endostatin+ PDGF-BB group were pretreated with DMEM medium containing 5 μg/mL endostatin for 48 h and then cultured with DMEM medium containing 200 ng/mL PDGF-BB for 24 h. Cells in endostatin+ TGF-β1 group were pretreated with DMEM medium containing 5 μg/mL endostatin for 48 h and then cultured with DMEM medium containing 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 24 h. The content of type Ⅰ collagen in the cell culture supernatant of three wells in each group was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ), phosphorylated PDGFRβ (p-PDGFRβ), and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1/2 (p-ERK1/2) of three wells in each group were detected by Western blotting. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and SNK test.
Results:
(1) Compared with (5.05±0.29) pg/mL in blank control group, content of type Ⅰ collagen in the cell culture supernatant of endostatin group [(4.72±0.37) pg/mL] was close to it (
