Objective:To observe and explore the clinical therapeutic effects of a self-developed novel low-temperature boric acid wet dressing on the face and neck wounds of patients with superficial burns.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. One hundred cases of superficial burn (sunburn) patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Department of Dermatology of Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2016 to June 2018, the course of sunburn was less than 15 days. According to the of random number table, the patients were divided into new dressing (ND) group (30 males and 20 females, aged (55±14) years) and conventional dressing (CD) group (28 males and 22 females, aged (59±12) years). Patients in ND group were treated with a self-developed new low-temperature boric acid wet dressing, and patients in CD group were treated with normal temperature boric acid solution wet dressing, 3 times a day. The Eczema area and severity index (EASI) score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of patients before and 14 days after treatment (patients discharged from hospital within 14 days were recorded on the day of discharge), the number of cured patients at 6, 8, 10, and 11 to 14 days after treatment, and the efficacy were compared between the patients in 2 groups. The nurse operators were investigated by self-made convenience questionnaire, and the time and convenience required of 2 dressings were compared. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test or Mann-Whitey U test. Results:Before the treatment, the EASI and VAS score in those two groups showed no significantly difference ( t=1.576, 1.492, P>0.05). At 14 days after treatment, the EASI score (2.4±0.4) points in ND Group was significantly lower than (4.6±0.7) points in CD Group ( t=3.552, P<0.01); the VAS score (0.51±0.12) points in ND Group was significantly lower than (0.98±0.19) points in CD Group ( t=3.496, P<0.01). At 14 days after treatment, the cured time of sunburns in ND Group was significantly shorter than that in CD Group ( Z=-6.690, P<0.01); the treatment effects of ND Group showed better than that in CD Group ( Z=3.387, P<0.01). The time for nurses operating ND was significantly shorter than that in CD ( Z=-5.575, P<0.01); the nurses also believed the operation of ND was more convenient than CD ( Z=-4.304, P<0.01). Conclusions:Compared with that of CD, the application of ND can shorten the recovery time and improve the treatment efficiency. At the same time, the application of ND can significantly reduce the time of nursing operations, and the material is easy to use. This new material is worthy of clinical promotion for the treatment of superficial burns.

Objective To explore the association between BMI and the risk of developing cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI),mortality of AKI and AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) after cardiac surgery.Methods Clinical data of patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January 2011 to December 2015 in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University were prospectively collected.Patients were divided into four groups according to BMI classification of Chinese population.Adjustment for selection bias was further assessed using propensity score method (PSM) to evaluate the role of BMI in the development of AKI.Results A total of 8442 patients were enrolled,among which 1092 patients successfully matched through PSM.The AKI incidences were respectively 30.3%,33.3%,38.6% and 46.8% in four BMI groups (P < 0.01) before PSM.The AKI incidences were respectively 31.9%,35.2%,42.5% and 42.9% in four BMI groups (P=0.016) after PSM.The risk of developing AKI increased by 19.9% as the BMI increased per 5 kg/m2 (95% CI:1.070-1.344,P=0.002).The hospital mortality of patient (overall,AKI,AKI-RRT) in four groups was not statistically different after PSM (P > 0.05),but overweight group always had the lowest mortality.Conclusions BMI is a risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery,and the AKI incidence increases with increasing BMI in a certain range.
