introduction: this paper presents the results of a study on the effects of two differentdoses of low-power laser irradiation on healing of deep second degree burns. material and methods: 60 rats were randomly allocated to one of four groups. adeep second-degree burn was inflicted in each rat. in the control group (cg) burns remained untreated; in groups lg1 and lg2 the burns were irradiated wit...

BACKGROUND Burn-induced inflammation leads to impaired immune responses resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. T-cells are central in the immune response and circulating CD4 and CD8 T-cells have been used to evaluate immune status; however, the role of these T-cell subsets in the burn wound is unknown. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to a major 3rd degree scald burn or sham ...

IIB Degree-burn takes longer to heal because only a small epithelium component remains. It requires topical agent that can accelerate the wound healing process. One of signs is increased collagen formation as an extracellular matrix produced by fibroblast in proliferative phase. This study aimed prove effect Robusta coffee extract gel on increasing number fibroblasts and density degree-burn tre...

e ach year in the United States, burn injuries result in more than 500,000 hospital emergency department visits and approximately 50,000 acute admissions. Most burn injuries are relatively minor, and patients are discharged following outpatient treatment at the initial medical facility. Of the patients who require hospitalization, about 20,000 are admitted directly or by referral to hospitals w...

The data presented here are associated with the article "The blister fluid proteome of paediatric burns" (Zang et al., 2016) [1]. Burn injury is a highly traumatic event for children. The degree of burn severity (superficial-, deep-, or full-thickness injury) often dictates the extent of later scar formation which may require long term surgical operation or skin grafting. The data were obtained...

Burn injuries are a common and highly lethal trauma causing immense pain, suffering, disability, and unfortunately death. The secondary contracture can lead to loss of function and furthermore lifelong disability both physically and mentally. Stem cells have been used in a variety of clinical applications to repair and regenerate chronic wounds. However the use of stem cells in burns has just r...

We present sub-millimeter wave reflectometry of an experimental rat skin burn model obtained by the Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technique. Full thickness burns, as confirmed by histology, were created on rats (n = 4) euthanized immediately prior to the experiments. Statistical analysis shows that the burned tissue exhibits higher reflectivity compared to normal skin over a freq...

Blumea balsamifera oil (BBO) is a main extract obtained from Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC (Ainaxiang) leaves, which are widely used as a traditional medicine by the Miao and Li Nations to promote skin trauma or burn injury healing. This study was initiated to investigate the healing efficacy in deep second-degree burn model in rats. The rats were treated by BBO for 21 consecutive days. The rate o...
