[Analysis of severe fire disaster in five years (1989-1993) in China].
The aim of this study was to analyze epidemiological characteristics of burn caused by severe fire disaster. The results of this study showed that a total 21,228 people were burned, 10,428 cases died and RMB 3320 millions yuan were lost in those fire disasters occurring in five years (from 1989 to 1993) in this country. The principal causes of the fire disaster were faults in administration and operations against regulations. ⋯ In order to prevent fire disaster propaganda should be carried out, jurisdiction should be enforced, active "law of fire control" and the program of constructive administration should be implemented. Those who are working in burn care should also participate in work of fire control and devote much attention to the investigation of burn epidemiology.

[The changes of fibrinolysis in plasma and wounds in rats inflicted with deep partial thickness burns].
We observed the changes in wound histopathology and fibrinolysis of rats with deep partial thickness burns during 10 days after scalding in order to study the relations of early progressive damage of deep partial thickness burn wound and the healing of the wound to fibrinolysis. Using Masson's trichrome stain of collagen, we demonstrated that partial thickness burn wound progressively deteriorated within 72 hours postburn, and epidermal cells on wound edge proliferated, creeping between necrotic and residual collagen by 10th day postburn. ⋯ The analysis of dynamic changes and relations in fibrinolytic parameters revealed that the suppressive factors of fibrinolysis might be enhanced activities of PAI, alpha 2-antiplasmin and antithrombin II after injury. Results suggested that suppression of fibrinolysis might protect fibrin deposited in the wound from lysis and play an important role in early progressive deterioration of deep partial thickness burn and regulation of its healing.

Comparative Study[Evaluation of therapeutic effects of moist burn ointment and betadine ointment in treatment of severe burn].
In order to compare the therapeutic value of moist burn ointment (MBO) and betadine ointment in severe burns, the authors divided 30 patients with burn over 30% TBSA into two groups. In one group MBO was used, and in another group betadine was used. The result showed; 1. ⋯ MBO had little antibacterial effect, wound healing was delayed, and incidences of infection, complication and mortality were higher. At the same time, MBO did not have noticeable effect in inhibiting scar hypertrophy. The authors suggest that MBO must be used with caution in severe burn patients, especially in the southern provinces where the climate is hot and humid.

[Determination of placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) for detecting the damages of alveolar type I cells caused by smoke inhalation].
The placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is a marker enzyme of alveolar type I cells. To evaluate the damages of alveolar type I cells and its relations with the development of acute lung injury caused by smoke inhalation, the present study was designed to observe the dynamic changes in PLAP contents in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Following the induction of smoke inhalation injury in rat, the arterial blood gas levels, lung water volume, total protein and albumin contents in BALF, and PLAP contents in plasma and BALF were determined respectively in normal control and injured animals at 2, 6, 12 and 24 h after injury. ⋯ Both PLAP contents in plasma and BALF also increased dramatically, and there was a significant positive correlation between the changes in the PLAP and the total protein contents in BALF. The pathomorphologically serious structural damage of alveolar type I cells were also found. PLAP may be not only a marker of alveolar type I cells injury, but also interrelated with the permeability increase of alveolar-capillary membrane after smoke inhalation.
