1.Scarless fetal wound healing and its mechanism.
Chinese Journal of Burns 2014;30(6):499-502
Scarless healing is considered as the most ideal mode of wound repair. This ability generally exists in the early period of mammalian embryos, however it gradually turns to scar healing with the development of the embryos. This phenomenon is the result of the interaction of multiple biological functions, and the mechanism is still uncertain. This article deals with a systematical review of literature concerning the mechanism of scarless healing based on the recent experimental studies, hoping to provide evidence for the treatment of wounds to realize scarless healing in adult.

Objective:
To preliminarily observe the effects of application of micro-negative pressure in children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn.
Methods:
From January 2016 to August 2018, 64 children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn who were admitted to the Department of Burn Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled study. According to the random number table, they were divided into negative pressure group [18 boys and 14 girls, aged (3.9±1.6) years with total burn area of (5.5±2.2)% total body surface area (TBSA)] and conventional group [20 boys and 12 girls, aged (3.8±1.7) years with total burn area of (5.8±1.6)% TBSA], with 32 patients in each group. After admission, simple debridement was performed in the patients of 2 groups. After that, the children in negative pressure group were treated with micro-negative pressure with negative pressure material replaced every 3 to 5 days. Children in conventional group were treated with silver sulfadiazine cream with dressing change every other day. On post injury day (PID) 14 and 21, general wound observation was performed, the wound healing rate was calculated, the exudates from the wounds were cultured and the positive detection rate was calculated. The number of patients requiring surgical skin grafting was recorded and the rate of surgical skin grafting was calculated, and the complete wound healing time was recorded in the patients of 2 groups. Scar formation was evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) in 3, 6, and 12 months after wound healing. Data were processed with chi-square test,
