[Change in T cell-mediated immunity and its relationship with high mobility group box-1 protein levels in extensively burned patients].
To investigate the change in T cell-mediated immunity and its relationship with plasma high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) levels in severely burned patients. ⋯ Extensive burns could lead to T cellular immune dysfunction, which appears to be associated with the development of MODS. HMGB1, as an important late mediators of inflammation, might be involved in the pathogenesis of suppression of T cell-mediated immunity in these patients.

[An experimental study on outcome of ipsilateral C7 nerve root transfer to repair the root avulsion of the brachial plexus].
To experimentally compare the treatment outcome of the injured upper limb of the root avulsion of C5 and C6 of the brachial plexus repaired by ipsilateral C7 nerve root transfer and other three multiple nerve transfers. ⋯ Ipsilateral C7 transfer to the upper trunk of brachial plexus combined with the spinal accessory nerve to the suprascapular nerve is found to be significantly effective on treatment of the root avulsion of C5 and C6 of the brachial plexus.
