[Early changes of chemotactic function of peripheral blood neutrophil of patients with severe burns and the influence factor].
Objective: To observe the early changes of chemotactic function of peripheral blood neutrophil of patients with severe burns and the influence factor. Methods: Seven severe burn patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University in 6 hours post burns from January to May 2019 were selected and included in burn group (4 males and 3 females, aged (36±10) years). Seven healthy volunteers with normal physical examination results in the Physical Examination Center of the same hospital in the same period of time were included in healthy control group (5 males and 2 females, aged (35±8) years). ⋯ Results: (1) The platelet count of patients in burn group on PAD 1, 3, 5 was close to that of volunteers in healthy control group respectively (t=0.55, 0.44, 0.12, P>0.05). The counts of neutrophil and white blood cell and the expression levels of serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein of patients in burn group on PAD 1, 3, 5 were significantly higher than those of volunteers in healthy control group (t=196.96, 273.31, 45.22, 3.46, 4.18, 5.55, 4.36, 5.26, 11.13, 64.94, 89.97, 84.31, P<0.01). (2) The level of IL-6 of patients in burn group on PAD 1, 3, 5 was significantly higher than that of volunteers in healthy control group respectively (t=187.43, 213.54, 195.74, P<0.01), the level of IL-10 of patients in burn group on PAD 1, 3, 5 was significantly higher than that of volunteers in healthy control group respectively (t=21.47, 11.13, 6.23, P<0.01), and the level of TNF-α of patients in burn group on PAD 1, 3, 5 was significantly higher than that of volunteers in healthy control group respectively (t=5.27, 7.89, 15.58, P<0.01). (3) The chemotactic distances of neutrophil of patients in burn group were (1 479±102), (1 395±82), and (1 017±91) μm respectively on PAD 1, 3, 5, which were significantly shorter than (1 902±120) μm of volunteers in healthy control group (t=7.11, 9.23, 15.55, P<0.01). (4) The CXCR1 and CXCR2 positive expression rates of neutrophil of patients in burn group on PAD 3 were (48.3±1.6)% and (79.0±1.8)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (95.4±4.5)% and (97.8±2.1)% of volunteers in healthy control group (t=27.13, 23.10, P<0.01). Conclusions: The chemotactic dysfunction of peripheral blood neutrophil was detected in the early stage of severe burn patients, which may be related to the decreases of CXCR1 and CXCR2.

[Effects and mechanism of rat epidermal stem cells treated with exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor on healing of deep partial-thickness burn wounds in rats].
Objective: To explore the effects and mechanism of rat epidermal stem cells (ESCs) that were treated with exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the healing of deep partial-thickness burn wounds in rats. Methods: ESCs were isolated and cultured from the trunk skin of a 3-month-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat. The third passage of cultured cells in the logarithmic growth phase was used in experiments (1)-(3). (1) The cells were routinely cultured in keratinocytes-specified serum-free medium (K-SFM) (the same routine culture condition below). ⋯ On PFID 7, a large number of endothelial cells were observed in the rat wounds in VEGF+ ESCs group, while proliferation of a few endothelial cells were observed in the rat wounds in ESCs alone group, and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated the rat wounds in blank control group. On PFID 14, the newly generated epidermal cells covered nearly all the rat wounds in VEGF+ ESCs group and most parts of the rat wounds in ESCs alone group, while a large number of endothelial cells were observed and the newly generated epidermal cells covered some parts of the rat wounds in blank control group. Conclusions: ESCs of rats treated with exogenous VEGF can promote the healing of deep partial-thickness burn wounds in rats, which may be related to VEGF's roles in promoting the proliferation of ESCs and reducing its differentiation level, so as to maintain the potency of stem cells.

Review[Advances in the research of artificial intelligence technology assisting the diagnosis of burn depth].
The early accurate diagnosis of burn depth is of great significance in determining the corresponding clinical intervention methods and judging the prognosis quality of burn patients. However, the current diagnostic method of burn depth still relies mainly on the empirical subjective judgment of clinicians, with low diagnostic accuracy. ⋯ In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, deep learning algorithm combined with image analysis technology can better identify and analyze the information of medical images. This article reviews the research progress of artificial intelligence technology in the diagnosis of burn depth.

[Clinical study of cell sheets containing allogeneic keratinocytes and fibroblasts for the treatment of partial-thickness burn wounds].
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cell sheets containing allogeneic keratinocytes and fibroblasts in the treatment of partial-thickness burn wounds. Methods: The cell sheets containing allogeneic keratinocytes and fibroblasts were constructed using polyurethane biofilm as carrier. Then gross observation and histological observation were conducted. ⋯ No obvious adverse reactions or abnormalities related to the treatment were observed. Conclusions: The cell sheet containing allogeneic keratinocytes and fibroblasts can reduce the number of dressing changes, accelerate wound epithelialization, shorten wound healing time, reduce pain during dressing change in the treatment of partial-thickness burn wounds, and it may reduce scar hyperplasia after wound healing because of accelerating wound epithelization. Its clinical application is simple, safe, and effective.
