Objective: To observe effects of exogenous high mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1) on angiogenesis in ischemic zone of early scald wounds of rats. Methods: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into HMGB1 group and simple scald (SS) group according to the random number table, with 18 rats in each group. Comb-like copper mould was placed on the back of rats for 20 s after being immersed in 100 ℃ hot water for 3 to 5 min to make three ischemic zones of wound. Immediately after scald, rats in HMGB1 group were subcutaneously injected with 0.4 μg HMGB1 and 0.1 mL phosphate buffer solution (PBS), and rats in SS group were subcutaneously injected with 0.1 mL PBS from boarders of ischemic zone of scald wound. At post scald hour (PSH) 24, 48, and 72, 6 rats in each group were collected. Protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in ischemic zone of wound at PSH 24, 48, and 72 and protein expressions of CD31 in ischemic zone of wound at PSH 48 and 72 were detected by immunohistochemistry. The number of microvessel in CD31 immunohistochemical sections of ischemic zone of wound at PSH 48 and 72 was calculated after observing by the microscope. The mRNA expressions of VEGF and CD31 in ischemic zone of wound were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction at PSH 24, 48, and 72. Data were processed with analysis of variance of factorial design, t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: (1) At PSH 24, 48, and 72, protein expressions of VEGF in ischemic zone of wound of rats in HMGB1 group were significantly higher than those of rats in SS group (t=7.496, 4.437, 5.402, P<0.05 or P<0.01). At PSH 48 and 72, protein expressions of CD31 in ischemic zone of wound of rats in HMGB1 group were 0.038 8±0.007 9 and 0.057 7±0.001 2 respectively, significantly higher than 0.013 4±0.004 9 and 0.030 3±0.004 0 of rats in SS group (t=10.257, 15.055, P<0.01). (2) At PSH 48 and 72, the number of microvessel in ischemic zone of wound of rats in HMGB1 group was obviously more than that of rats in SS group (t=3.536, 4.000, P<0.05). (3) At PSH 24, 48, and 72, mRNA expressions of VEGF in ischemic zone of wound of rats in HMGB1 group were significantly higher than those of rats in SS group (t=4.406, 3.821, 3.356, P<0.05). At PSH 24 and 48, mRNA expressions of CD31 in ischemic zone of wound of rats in HMGB1 group were significantly higher than those of rats in SS group (t=4.113, 3.466, P<0.05). At PSH 72, mRNA expressions of CD31 in ischemic zone of wound of rats in 2 groups were close (t=0.010, P>0.05). Conclusions Exogenous HMGB1 can promote angiogenesis in ischemic zone of early scald wounds of rats by increasing expressions of VEGF and CD31.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized children with burn injuries in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, so as to provide evidence to complete an adequate, timely, and effective prevention and treatment system of children with burn injuries.

METHODSMedical records of children with burn injuries, aged 14 and under, hospitalized in the Department of Burns from July 2012 to June 2015 were collected. Data of gender and age, location and cause of injury, time of injury, state of injury, admission time after injury, first aid, length of hospital stay, and treatment and so on were recorded. They were divided into 4 age brackets: less than or equal to 1 year old, more than 1 year old and less than or equal to 3 years old, more than 3 years old and less than or equal to 7 years old, more than 7 years old and less than or equal to 14 years old, then gender and cause of injury of children in the 4 age brackets were analyzed. Admission months of the children were divided into spring (March to May), summer (June to August), autumn (September to November) and winter (December to February of the following year), and then the cause of injury of children in each season was analyzed. Severities of male and female children, length of hospital stay of children with different causes of injury were analyzed. Data were processed with chi-square test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

RESULTSOut of 2 608 inpatients with burn injuries, 1 407 children with burn injuries, aged 14 and under, accounting for 53.9%, were admitted in the recent 3 years. The ratio of male to female was 1.6 ∶1.0. Children more than 1 year old and less than or equal to 3 years old ranked the largest number (68.3%, 961/1 407) in the 4 age brackets. There was statistically significant difference in constituent ratios of gender of children among the 4 age brackets (χ(2)=11.00, P=0.012). One thousand three hundred and seventy-two children were burned indoors (97.5%), while 35 children were burned outdoors (2.5%). Scalding with hot fluids was the most common cause of burn (95.0%, 1 337/1 407). There was statistically significant difference in constituent ratios of injury cause of children among the 4 age brackets (χ(2)=107.23, P<0.01). There was statistically significant difference in constituent ratios of injury cause of children more than 7 years old and less than or equal to 14 years old compared with those of the other 3 age brackets (with χ(2) values from 12.88 to 119.85, P values below 0.01). Most burn accidents occurred between 17: 00-20: 59 (33.5%, 472/1 407). Burns were more likely to happen in April to October. July (10.4%, 146/1 407) and August (10.5%, 148/1 407) were the crest-time. Most of the children were burned in summer (35.3%, 496/1 407). There was statistically significant difference in the injury cause of children among each season (χ(2)=14.61, P=0.024). The burn degrees of male and female children were mainly mild or moderate, and there was no statistically significant difference in the severity (Z=-0.39, P>0.05). The trunk was the most involved anatomic site (61.1%, 859/1 407). Most of children were admitted to hospital within 2 hours post burn (79.7%, 1 121/1 407). Majority of children were taken off clothes as first aid on spot or did not receive any treatment. Most of the children were discharged within 2 weeks after admission (80.0%, 1 126/1 407). There was statistically significant difference in length of hospital stay of children with causes of hot liquid scald, flame burn, electric burn, high temperature solid burn, chemical burn (χ(2) =17.33, P=0.002). Most of the children were treated with non-surgical methods, and the majority of the children got better condition or totally recovered and then discharged.

CONCLUSIONSThe majority of hospitalized children with burn injuries in our unit are young boys in preschool period, who were burnt by hot fluid at the time of dinner and bathing at home during summer. So we should make more effort on popularization of prevention about burn.

BACKGROUND:The decel ularized porcine smal intestinal submucosa is a kind of bioactive extracel ular matrix, which is mainly composed of col agen, glycoprotein, proteoglycan and rich in col agen, glycosaminoglycan and various growth factors, and these components play an important role in promoting the differentiation and proliferation of tissue cel s. OBJECTIVE:To prepare the injectable smal intestinal submucosa and to investigate its co-culture with rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s in vitro. METHODS:The injectable smal intestinal submucosa and rat adipose-derived stem cel s were prepared. Cel counting kit-8 test for cel proliferation:Passage 3 adipose-derived stem cel s were seeded onto the injectable smal intestinal submucosa (experimental group) and cel s cultured under normal condition as control group. The cel proliferation was observed at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days of incubation. Live/dead staining test for the survival of cel s:Passage 3 adipose-derived stem cel s were respectively cultured in the injectable smal intestinal submucosa extracts (experimental group) and complete culture medium (control group). Cel survival was determined at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Scanning electron microscope oval and strip adipose-derived stem cel s adhered onto the material. The absorbance values in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group at 1 and 5 days of incubation (P<0.05). Cel survival:The number of cel s appeared to be in a rising trend with time in both two groups;after 1-day co-culture, al cel s in the two groups survived. Then dead cel s appeared in both two groups, showing no significant difference. These results show that the injectable smal intestinal submucosa exhibits a good cytocompatibility.
