[Effects of intestinal trefoil factor combined with mucin on ability of proliferation and migration of intestinal epithelial cells after being treated by rat burn serum].
To observe the effect of intestinal trefoil factor (ITF) combined with mucin on the ability of proliferation and migration of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) after being treated by burn rat serum. ⋯ ITF can improve cytomorphosis ability for promoting cell migration with limited effect on cell proliferation, which can be enhanced with addition of mucin. The main mechanism of ITF in maintaining intestinal mucosal barrier may be attributed to acceleration of cell migration.

[A new concept of nutrition in treatment of burn injury: from nutrition support to nutrition therapy].
For many years, the major concerns in the treatment of a major burn injury have always been shock resuscitation, infection control, and wound treatment, while nutrition has been considered as a subordinate concern. The concept of nutrition in the treatment of a major burn has been recognized as "nutrition support", only with the purpose of restraining negative nitrogen balance through administration of energy and protein, in order to prevent malnutrition in patients with severe burn. In recent 10 years, however, increasing evidences have showed that optimal nutritional management could improve the outcome of severe burn patients. ⋯ Meanwhile, nutritional means has been more consummate, including special nutrients, hormones, and growth factors, in addition to use of conventional nutrients, in order to enhance therapeutic effect of nutrition in treatment of massive burn injury. Burn nutrition is no longer confined to maintenance of positive nitrogen balance, it should also consider the regulation of cell activity, metabolic status, immune and organ function. The purpose of the article is to analyze and discuss the important issues concerning nutrition therapy in treatment of burn injury, including risk screening, optimal energy supply and ratio of different nutritional ingredients, the choice of special nutrient, as well as the determination of optimal time for giving various nutritional supplements.
