Objective:To observe the influence of different treatment intervals of pulsed dye laser (PDL) in treating hypertrophic scar of burn patients and to explore the optimal treatment interval.Methods:From May 2018 to March 2019 , 20 burn patients who met the inclusion criteria and admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University were included in this prospective randomized controlled study. Patients were divided into 1 week group [4 patients, 2 males and 2 females, aged 27 (4, 67) years,19 scars], 2 weeks group [5 patients, 2 males and 3 females, aged 9 (3, 55) years, 15 scars], 3 weeks group [5 patients, 4 males and 1 female, aged 26 (19, 45) years,15 scars], and 4 weeks group [6 patients, 4 males and 2 females, aged 31 (14, 48) years,13 scars], according to the random number table, and treated with PDL with the treatment intervals of one week, two weeks, three weeks, and four weeks, respectively, and total treatment cycle of 3 months. Before the first treatment and three months after the first treatment, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was conducted and the decreased value of VSS score was calculated; the laser doppler blood flow meter was used to measure scar blood perfusion and the proportion of change in blood perfusion volume was conducted. Data were statistically analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Wilcoxon symbolic rank sum test, Bonferroni correction, and Fisher’s exact probability test.Results:The VSS scores of patients in 1 week group, 2 weeks group, 3 weeks group, and 4 weeks group in three months after the first treatment were significantly lower than those before the first treatment ( Z=-3.74, -3.47, -2.69, -3.25, P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in the decreased values of VSS scores in three months after the first treatment among the patients in 4 groups ( H=5.18, P>0.05). Three months after the first treatment, the blood perfusion volumes of patients in 2 weeks group and 3 weeks group were significantly lower than those before the first treatment ( Z=-2.95, -2.50, P<0.05). The proportions of changes in blood perfusion volume of patients in the 4 groups were respectively -0.02(-1.05-0.69), -0.29 (-0.75-0.18), -0.11 (-0.55-0.23), 0.05 (-0.61-0.75). There were statistically significant differences among the 4 groups ( H=9.39, P<0.05). The proportions of changes in blood perfusion volume of patients in 2 weeks group was statistically higher than that of 1 week group ( Z=2.76, P<0.01). Conclusions:PDL treatment can reduce the VSS score and blood perfusion volume of scar, the blood perfusion volumes of patients in 2 weeks group and 3 weeks group were significantly decreased, they can be recommended as the appropriate treatment interval of PDL for hypertrophic scar after burn.

BACKGROUND:Isoflurane is an anesthesia drug that has a certain effect on the nervous system. It possibly causes neurologic disorders through impacting nerve stem cel function or morphology. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of isoflurane on the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cels in the hippocampus of rats. METHODS:Neural stem cels from the hippocampus of neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 7 days, were induced and differentiated. Passage 3 cels were obtained and divided into two groups: isoflurane group (a mixture gas of 2.8% isoflurane, 5% CO2 and 95% O2) and control group (a mixture of 5% CO2 and 95% O2).
After intervention of 6 hours folowed by 2 hours of routine culture, anti-BrdU monoclonal antibody immunofluorescent staining was used to detect cel proliferation, and western blot assay to detect the expression of β3-tubulin and glial fibrilary acidic protein. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the number of BrdU positive cels in the isoflurane group reduced significantly, indicating that isoflurane inhibits the proliferation of neural stem cels. Compared with the control group, the expression of glial fibrilary acidic protein in the isoflurane group up-regulated, but the expression of β3-tubulin had no changes, indicating isoflurane promotes the differentiation of neural stem cels into astrocytes.
