BACKGROUND: Chitosan wound dressing has been extensively used in the treatment of wounds and burns, not only because of its bacteriastasis, hemostasis and promoting the wound healing, but also its good biocompatibility,biodegradability and biological functions.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of chitosan wound dressing for deep second-degree burn, thereby providing clinical basis for its registration.METHODS: Sixty patients with deep second-degree burn were randomly allotted to two groups, and then subjected to the external application of chitosan wound dressing (experimental group) or chitosan biomedical dressing (control group),respectively. Then, the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated through healing time, recovering rate and pain scores, and the safety was evaluated through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory indexes before and after treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the wound healing time [(21.23±6.84) days vs.(23.77±4.26) days], recovery rate and pain scores between the experimental and control groups at 14, 21 and 28 days after treatment (P > 0.05). The blood routine, liver function and kidney function indexes before and after treatment did not differ significantly between groups. Additionally, neither adverse nor severe adverse events occurred in the two groups.These results indicate that the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the chitosan wound dressing are equivalent to the control product in the treatment of deep second-degree burn.

This study was aimed to explore the curative effect of Zhuo-Du-Qing (ZDQ) particles on diabetic cystopa-thy (DCP) based on the theory of turbid toxin. A total of 100 DCP patients were randomly divided into the control group with 47 cases and the treatment group with 53 cases. Mecobalamin tablets was given in the control group. And ZDQ particles were given to the treatment group. The treatment course was 3 months. The observation was made on the bladder residual urine (BRU), clinical manifestation integral, hemodynamic indexes, HOMA-IR and HbA1c before and after the treatment. The results showed that compared with pretreatment, the BRU, clinical manifestation integral, hemodynamic indexes, and HOMA-IR were significantly reduced (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the BRU, clinical manifestation integral, hemodynamic indexes, and HOMA-IR were also significantly reduced (P <0.01). The effective rate in the treatment group was 81.1%, which was significantly higher than 59.6% in the control group (P< 0.05). There were no obvious changes on the blood routine examination, urine routine examination, stool routine examination, liver function, renal function, electrocardiogram and so on before and after treatment. It was con-cluded that the treatment of DCP with ZDQ particles was safe and effective. To remove toxin and descend turbid may be another effective treatment method for DCP. The occurrence and development of DCP were closely related to the turbid toxin.
