Objective To establish animal model for hypertrophic scar and study the characters of its morphology and collagen metabolism. Methods A total of 64 round wounds (diameter of 6 mm each) with total skin loss were made on the ventral side of rabbit ear using a trephine. Morphology and collagen metabolism of scar wounds were studied at 14,21,35,70 and 98 days after operation, respectively. Results There were 76% elevated scars developed (45/59 wounds) on the ventral side of rabbit ear at 21 days and 46% elevated scars disappeared (11/24) at 98 days after operation. There were numerous fibroblast proliferation and whorl-arranged collagen fibers at 21 and 35 days. The number of fibroblast decreased, but irregular-arranged fibers still presented in the elevated scars at 70 and 98 days after operation. Hydroxyproline content in elevated scars at 21 days was higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05), and at 35 days was 3 times as that in normal skin and at 98 days was also markedly higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05). Conclusion Excessive deposition of collagen is a characteristic of hypertrophic scar in rabbits. The conversion of normal scarring to hypertrophic scarring in rabbits occurs at 14~21 days after operation. Both development and regression of hypertrophic scar in rabbit are quicker than that in human.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical characteristics, early diagnosis, comprehensive treatment and prognosis of 6 cases of children with post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after liver transplantation.
METHODData of 6 cases with PTLD seen between January 2011 and December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The anti-rejection drug dose adjustments, the effect of rituximab, antiviral therapy and comprehensive treatment program after surgery were explored.
RESULT(1) The diagnosis of PTLD was confirmed by histologic findings. Six cases of PTLD including 3 males and 3 females were diagnosed as congenital biliary atresia and underwent split liver transplantation. The occurrence rate of PTLD was 2.9%. (2) The median time to the development of PTLD was less than 6 months. The initial symptom of PTLD in all patients was fever and clinical manifestations of PTLD were non-specific, depending on the involving organs. Five cases of PTLD developed gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension. One case developed respiratory symptoms, including cough and tachypnea. Three cases had lymph node involvement. In 2 cases pathophysiology involved polymorphic lymphocyte proliferation and in 4 cases B lymphocyte proliferation. (3) Two cases died, in whom EBV DNA was not detected and were diagnosed as PTLD by surgical pathology before death. Four survived cases had high EBV-DNA load and then were diagnosed as PTLD by biopsy pathology. (4) Of the 6 cases of PTLD, 2 cases died and 4 cases survived. The overall mortality was 33%. The dead cases were only treated with laparotomy because of intestinal obstruction or perforation and the survived cases were treated with tacrolimus at reduced doses or discontinuation and rituximab. In 2 cases antiviral therapy (acyclovir) was continued, including 1 cases of intestinal obstruction treated with surgical repair. All the survived patients were followed up for 4 months to 1 year and no evidence has been found.
CONCLUSIONEBV infection is the high risk factor for PTLD after liver transplantation. Close clinical surveillance of EBV DNA for pediatric liver transplantation was important for the early diagnosis of PTLD. Reducing doses of immunosuppressive agents and rituximab is the initial therapy for PTLD. A reduction in the dose of tacrolimus is suggested. Operation therapy can also play a role in the management of local complications.

Objective:To investigate clinicopathological features of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) and hypopigmented interface T-cell dyscrasia (HITCD) .Methods:A total of 41 patients with cutaneous hypopigmented lymphoproliferative diseases, who had complete clinicopathological data, were collected from Department of Dermatology, the Third People′s Hospital of Hangzhou from January 2015 to September 2020, and the clinicopathological and immunophenotypic features were analyzed. Comparisons of normally distributed measurement data were carried out using t test, comparisons of categorical data using Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test, and comparisons of ranked data between 2 groups using rank-sum test. Results:All of the 41 patients clinically presented with irregular hypopigmentation, some of which was accompanied by erythema or furfuraceous scales. In terms of pathological features, 21 patients showed infiltration and aggregation of atypical lymphoid cells in the epidermis, which was consistent with typical pathological features of mycosis fungoides, and they were diagnosed with HMF; 20 patients showed vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer, accompanied by infiltration of lymphoid cells and mild epidermotropism, and they were diagnosed with HITCD. All immune cells expressed T-cell phenotype, and epidermal lymphocytes expressed a CD8-dominated phenotype in 14 (67%) cases of HMF and 13 (65%) of HITCD. In the epidermis, the total number of lymphocytes was significantly higher in the HMF group than in the HITCD group ( t= 1.81, P= 0.012) ; in the dermis, the number of CD4 + lymphocytes and CD8 + lymphocytes, and the total number of lymphocytes were all significantly higher in the HMF group than in the HITCD group ( t= 2.64, 1.51, 2.60, P= 0.012, 0.002, 0.001, respectively) . All patients were treated with narrow-band ultraviolet B radiation. Among 34 patients who completed the follow-up, 30 achieved complete clearance of skin lesions without recurrence, including all patients with HITCD, and 4 with HMF achieved partial regression of the lesions. Conclusions:Compared with HMF, HITCD presents different pathological characteristics and benign biological behaviors. Thus, HITCD should be distinguished from HMF as an independent disease. Phototherapy alone is effective for the treatment of HITCD.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of different durations of prone ventilation on the efficacy of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:A computer search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and China Biomedical Literature Database for studies on prone ventilation for the treatment of adult patients with ARDS published from the establishment of the database to September 2023. Studies were categorized into ≤24 hours group and > 24 hours group based on the duration of prone ventilation. Outcome indicators included mortality, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, incidence of pressure ulcers, and operation of tracheotomy. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted information, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included literature. The quality of the included literature was assessed using the NOS scale, and the effect of different durations of prone ventilation on the efficacy of ARDS was analyzed by Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 517 patients from 4 papers were finally included, including 249 patients with prone ventilation duration ≤24 hours and 268 patients with prone ventilation duration > 24 hours. All 4 studies were cohort studies, and the overall inclusion of literature assessed for methodological quality indicated high study quality and low risk of bias. Meta-analysis showed that there were no significantly differences in mortality [relative risk ( RR) = 1.02, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.79 to 1.31, P = 0.88], the length of ICU stay [mean difference ( MD) = -2.68, 95% CI was -5.30 to - 0.05, P = 0.05] between the prone ventilation duration ≤ 24 hours group and prone ventilation duration > 24 hours group. Compared with the prone ventilation duration ≤24 hours group, the incidence of pressure ulcers ( RR = 0.76, 95% CI was 0.59 to 0.98, P = 0.04) and the operation of tracheotomy ( RR = 0.71, 95% CI was 0.53 to 0.94, P = 0.02) were significantly increased in the prone ventilation duration > 24 hours group. Conclusions:The duration of prone ventilation had no significant effect on the mortality and the length of ICU stay in ARDS patients, but prone ventilation for > 24 hours increased the incidence of pressure ulcers and the operation of tracheotomy, which still needs to be further verified by a large number of studies due to the small number of included studies.

Objective:To study the coagulation characteristics of adult patients with extensively severe burn in shock stage and its alarming value.Methods:Retrospective cohort study was performed on medical records of 37 adult patients with extensively severe burn who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019 and met the inclusion criteria. The patients were divided into survival group ( n=23, 17 males and 6 females, aged 41 (31, 51) years) and death group ( n=14, 11 males and 3 females, aged 50 (43, 58) years) according to the prognosis of within 60 d after burn. Basic data of patients in the two groups and their routine coagulation indexes during shock period including prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D-Dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), fibrinogen, platelet, and international normalized ratio (INR) were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher′s exact probability test, prognosis-related factors was analyzed with single factor and multivariate logistic regression analysis (α selected=0.05, α excluded=0.1), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were established to screen out the risk factors. All the patients were grouped into high score group and low score group according to the optimal threshold value, Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and Log-rank test was performed between the two groups. Results:Total burn surface area (TBSA) of patients in death group was obviously larger than that in survival group ( Z=2.980, P<0.01), while there were no statistically significant difference in the other indexes between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with those in survival group (16.10 (14.30, 16.90) s, 40.80 (36.20, 42.80) s, 1.30 (1.10, 1.40)), PT (18.70 (16.30, 22.70) s), APTT (46.45 (41.00, 57.10) s) and INR (1.55 (1.30, 1.96)) of patients in death group were significantly increased ( Z=2.540, 2.330, 2.300, P<0.05), there were no statistically significant difference in the other indexes between the two groups ( P>0.05). Single factor logistic regression analysis showed TBSA, PT, and APTT were factors related to death of adult patients with extensively severe burn within 60 d after burn (odds ratio (OR)=1.190, 1.214, 1.109, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.053-1.346, 1.008-1.461, 1.012-1.215, P<0.05 or P<0.01). FDP and INR were potential factors related to death of adult patients with extensively severe burn within 60 d after burn (OR=1.040 and 4.559, 95% CI =0.998-1.083 and 0.918-22.641, P<0.1). Multivariate logistic stepwise regression was used to build models of APTT+ FDP+ TBSA and APTT+ FDP. Area under the curve (AUC) of APTT+ FDP+ TBSA model score was 0.944 (95% CI= 0.873-1.000), which was higher than AUC of APTT+ FDP model score (0.843, 95% CI=0.713-0.973) by ROC curve analysis. Optimal threshold value of APTT+ FDP+ TBSA model score was -0.879 4 with sensitivity of 100% (95% CI=100%-100%) and specificity of 87% (95% CI=74%-100%). Survival ratio of patients in high score group with optimal threshold value higher than -0.879 4 was significantly lower than that in low score group with optimal threshold value lower than -0.879 4, χ2=27.090, P<0.01. Conclusions:The coagulation state of adult patients with extensively severe burn in shock stage is characterized with procoagulant and hemostatic dysfunctions accompanied by enhanced fibrinolytic activity. The risk of death is significantly increased in adult patients with extensively severe burn with APTT+ FDP+ TBSA model score higher than -0.879 4.

Objective:To conduct a visual analysis of the literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction and to explore the current research status, evolution process, hot topics, and future research trends in burn-related coagulation dysfunction at home and abroad.Methods:The bibliometrics method was used. The literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction which were published in Web of Science and China National Knowledge Internet databases from January 1, 1950 to May 1, 2022, and met the inclusion criteria were retrieved for publication volume analysis. The literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction were retrieved as above in the core collection of Web of Science and China National Knowledge Internet databases, and CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used to perform co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, and literature co-citation analysis of key words. Results:A total of 501 and 235 literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction were retrieved from Web of Science database and China National Knowledge Internet database, respectively. The literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction emerged from 1975 and 1950, respectively, in China and abroad, which were gradually increased later. The frequency and centrality of Chinese key words such as 烧伤, 凝血功能, 血小板 were high in 235 literature in China National Knowledge Internet database, and the frequency and centrality of key words such as burn, coagulation, and deep vein thrombosis were high in 340 literature in the core collection of Web of Science database. In China National Knowledge Internet database, the top 6 Chinese key words in terms of burst intensity were 烧伤患者, 临床意义, 烧伤面积, 凝血功能, 预后, 血小板, and the first 3 among which were burst key words in the early stage; and in the core collection of Web of Science database, the key words with higher burst intensity were disseminated intravascular coagulation and pulmonary embolism, which were the burst key words in the early stage. The representative clustering labels in China National Knowledge Internet database were #0 烧伤, #1 休克, and #2 并发症, etc., and the representative clustering labels in the core collection of Web of Science database were #0 risk, #1 surgical patient, and #2 sepsis. Early researches in China National Knowledge Internet database and the core collection of Web of Science database focused on the presence of burn-related coagulation dysfunction itself, while the late researches focused on the relationship between burn-related coagulation dysfunction and inflammation, immunity, coagulation in general, and wounds. From 2010 onwards, there were a large number of core cited literature in the core collection of Web of Science database, and the prevention and treatment of vein thromboembolism was the most popular research direction in recent years. The researches on optimization and standardization of diagnostic methods and the overall mechanism of burn-related coagulation dysfunction would be the main research directions in the future. Conclusions:The research hotspots and evolution processes of burn-related coagulation dysfunction at home and abroad have both similarities and differences, and the current research hotspot is the relationship between coagulation and inflammation, immunity. With researches increasingly deepening, the researches on optimization and standardization of diagnostic methods and the overall mechanism of burn-related coagulation dysfunction will be the main research directions in the future.

Objective:To discuss the feasibility of offering specialized courses of critical care medicine in undergraduate clinical medicine education, so as to alleviate the shortage of critical care medicine staffs and lay a foundation for improving the success rate for the treatment of critical cases.Methods:The undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine from 2008 to 2011 in Guizhou Medical University (the former Guiyang Medical College) were enrolled. After they had been enrolled in the undergraduate education for 3 years and were ready for Grade four, which meant basic medicine teaching had been completed and clinical medicine teaching was about to start, they were introduced and preached to each discipline, including critical care medicine. The undergraduates were free to choose professional direction of clinical training in Grade four. Students majoring in clinical medicine from 2012 to 2014 were free to choose their major direction when they entered the school.Results:From September 2011 to July 2019, the university had cultivated 246 undergraduates majoring in clinical critical care medicine from 2008 to 2014, and the critical care medicine professional team of affiliated hospital had undertaken 540 teaching hours. By July 2019, all students had graduated on time, with an employment rate of 100%. Forty students took postgraduate programs in our school and other schools, accounting for 16.3%.Conclusions:Professional education of critical care medicine in the undergraduate course of clinical medicine can mobilize students' interest in learning and subjective initiative, which is conducive to career selection. During the clinical training, the students can identify and timely cure critical care cases in the early stage, and partly alleviate the current shortage of critical care medical staffs.
