Abstract
Currently, urine output is the leading variable used to tailor fluid resuscitation in patients with large TBSA burns. However, this metric often lags with respect to resuscitation. Our group sought to identify derangements in variables that precede development of oliguria (<30 cc/hr) that we hypothesize will aid in more efficient resuscitation. We performed a retrospective analysis of 146 adult patients admitted within 4 h of a large TBSA (>20%) burn. We then divided them into two cohorts: those who developed oliguria within 6 h of admission and those who did not. Patients who experienced early oliguria had a higher incidence of invasive SBP < 90 (p = 0.02) or DBP < 40 (p = 0.009), lower minimum bicarbonate level (p = 0.04), more full thickness burns (p = 0.004), and higher TBSA (p = 0.01). More female patients were found in the oliguric group (p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis was used to develop a model to predict development of oliguria. When evaluated together, minimum DBP, sex, TBSA (or percent full thickness burn), and maximum base deficit constituted the most parsimonious model that significantly predicted oliguria (AUC = 0.92). Interestingly, the model lost significance when DBP was omitted, highlighting the importance of diastolic pressure in the development of oliguria.

Abla H, Tran V, Pang A, Stroever S, Shaw C, Dissanaike S, Griswold J. Assessing resuscitation in burn patients with varying degrees of liver disease. Burns 2024; 50:991-996. [PMID: 38368156 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2024.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
We find minimal literature and lack of consensus among burn practitioners over how to resuscitate thermally injured patients with pre-existing liver disease. Our objective was to assess burn severity in patients with a previous history of liver disease. We attempted to stratify resuscitation therapy utilised, using it as an indicator of burn shock severity. We hypothesized that as severity of liver disease increased, more fluid therapy is needed. We retrospectively studied adult patients with a total body surface area (TBSA) of burn greater than or equal to 20% (n = 314). We determined the severity of liver disease by calculating admission Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores and measured resuscitation adequacy via urine output within the first 24 h. We performed stepwise, multivariable linear regression with backward selection to test our hypothesis with α = 0.05 defined a priori. After controlling for important confounders including age, TBSA, baseline serum albumin, total crystalloids, colloids, blood products, diuretics, and steroids given in first 24 h, we found a statistically significant reduction in urine output as MELD score increased (p < 0.000). In our study, severity of liver disease correlated with declining urine output during first 24-hour resuscitation more so than burn size or burn depth. While resuscitation is standardized for all patients, lack of urine output with increased liver disease suggests a new strategy is of benefit. This may involve investigation of alternate markers of adequacy of resuscitation, or developing modified resuscitation protocols for use in patients with liver disease. More investigation is necessary into how resuscitation protocols may best be modified.

The Role of Ketamine as a Component of Multimodal Analgesia in Burns: A Retrospective Observational Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:764. [PMID: 38337458 PMCID: PMC10856234 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13030764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Burn wound dressing and debridement are excruciatingly painful procedures that call for appropriate analgesia-typically multimodal. Better post-procedural pain management, less opioid use, and consequently fewer side effects, which could prolong recovery and increase morbidity, are all benefits of this type of analgesia. Intravenously administered ketamine can be effective as monotherapy or in combination with opioids, especially with procedural sedation such as in burn wound dressing. Methods: This observational study investigated the effect of ketamine administered in subanesthetic doses combined with opioids during burn wound dressing. The study was conducted from October 2018 to October 2021. A total of 165 patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 82 patients were in the ketamine group, while 83 patients were dressed without ketamine. The main outcome was the effect of ketamine on intraprocedural opioid consumption. The secondary outcome included the effect of ketamine on postprocedural pain control. Results: Patients dressed with ketamine were significantly older (p = 0.001), while the mean doses of intraoperatively administered propofol and fentanyl were significantly lower than in patients dressed without ketamine (150 vs. 220 mg, p < 0.001; and 0.075 vs. 0.150 mg, p < 0.001; respectively). Conclusions: Ketamine was an independent predictor of lower intraoperative fentanyl consumption, according to the multivariate regression analysis (p = 0.015). Contrarily, both groups of patients required postoperative tramadol treatment, while intraoperative ketamine administration had no beneficial effects on postoperative pain management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been shown to improve tissue resilience against ischemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of RIC and its key factor, nitrogen monoxide (NO), on angiogenesis in a burn wound. MATERIALS AND METHODS A unilateral burn injury on the ear of hairless mice (n = 48) was generated via a hot air jet in a contact-free manner. In four randomized groups, including the control (NoRIC group), RIC alone (RIConly group), RIC plus NO donor (ISDN group), and RIC plus NO synthase inhibitor (L-NAME group), the impact on angiogenesis, vessel diameter, blood flow, edema formation, and leukocyte-endothelial-cell interaction was evaluated over a 12-d period using intravital fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS Tissue perfusion was significantly improved by RIC (Day 3: ISDN group showed 182% and RIConly group showed 200% of baseline [BL], P < 0.001), while angiogenesis was not improved by RIC (nonperfused area on Day 12: mean 52% of BL in all groups, P >0.05). The application of ISDN did not further enhance the positive effect of RIC, whereas the application of L-NAME neutralized the effect of RIC. The most pronounced edema formation was observed in the RIConly group (mean 145% of BL, P ≤0.001), while the NoRIC group showed the least edema formation (Day 12: 117% of BL). CONCLUSIONS RIC led to increased tissue perfusion, which did not result in improved angiogenesis, which may have been due to increased edema formation after RIC performance. The results of the present study do not support the establishment of a causal therapy strategy for burn wounds, including RIC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The resorption stage is an important period involving early anti-shock treatment for severe burn patients. We aimed to investigate the quantitative variability in fluid balance during the resorption stage in severe burn patients, and to study its effect on patient outcomes. METHODS We conducted a single-centre retrospective study of 100 severe burn patients with involvement of > 50% total body surface area (TBSA). We extracted clinical data on demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes; calculated the daily net fluid balance (difference between fluid intake and fluid output) and daily fluid intake/output within one week after injury; and analysed the association between fluid balance and functional outcomes and prognosis. The relative volume (ml/kg/TBSA) was used for the determination of daily fluid volume in this study. RESULTS The daily net fluid balance (ml/kg/TBSA) of the deceased patients on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th days after injury was higher than that of the surviving patients, but the opposite trend was found for the daily fluid output (ml/kg/TBSA). The partial correlation test showed that in the resorption stage of severe burn patients, fluid output was negatively correlated with the index levels of renal function and liver function, CRP level, blood lactic acid (LA) level, frequency of ventilator treatment, and capillary leakage index (CLI), but net fluid balance showed a completely opposite correlation. Moreover, fluid intake was negatively correlated with the index level of renal function and LA level, but positively correlated with the frequency of ventilator treatment. Furthermore, the logistic regression analysis showed that the net fluid balance and fluid output on Day 6 post-injury were independent risk factors for prognosis. CONCLUSION This study suggested that greater fluid output in the resorption stage of severe burn patients was closely related to better outcomes, in addition, a gradually decreasing, lower positive net fluid balance may contribute to the improvement of functional outcomes, which will provide useful information for early fluid management and further prospective clinical study of severe burns.

The Angiopoietin-2/Angiopoietin-1 ratio increases early in burn patients and predicts mortality. Cytokine 2023; 169:156266. [PMID: 37354645 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiopoietin-2 (Angpt-2) is involved in the pathogenesis of the capillary leak syndrome in sepsis and has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes in diverse critical illnesses. It is however unclear whether Angpt-2 plays a similar role in severely burned patients during the early phase characterized by massive capillary leakage. Our aim was to analyze the Angiopoietin-2/Angiopoietin-1 ratio (Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratio) over the first two days in critically ill burn patients and examine its association with survival and further clinical parameters. METHODS Adult burn patients with a total burn surface area (TBSA) ≥ 20% treated in the burn intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland, were included. Serum samples were collected prospectively and serum Angpt-1 and Angpt-2 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) over the first two days after burn insult and stratified according to survival status, TBSA and the abbreviated burn severity index (ABSI). Due to hemodilution in the initial resuscitation phase, the Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratio was normalized to albumin. RESULTS Fifty-six patients were included with a median age of 51.5 years. Overall mortality was 14.3% (8/56 patients). The total amount of infused crystalloids was 12́902 ml (IQR 9́362-16́770 ml) at 24 h and 18́461 ml (IQR 13́024-23́766 ml) at 48 h. The amount of substituted albumin was 20 g (IQR 10-50 g) at 24 h and 50 g (IQR 20-60 g) at 48 h. The albumin-corrected Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratios increased over the first 48 h after the burn insult (d0: 0.5 pg*l/ml*g [IQR 0.24 - 0.80 pg*l/ml*g]; d1: 0.83 pg*l/ml*g [IQR 0.29 - 1.98 pg*l/ml*g]; d2: 1.76 pg*l/ml*g [IQR 0.70 - 3.23 pg*l/ml*g]; p < 0.001) and were significantly higher in eventual ICU non-survivors (p = 0.005), in patients with a higher TBSA (p = 0.001) and in patients with a higher ABSI (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In analogy to the pathological host response in sepsis, the Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratio steadily increases in the first two days in critically ill burn patients, suggesting a putative involvement in the pathogenesis of capillary leakage in burns. A higher Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratio is associated with mortality, total burn surface area and burn scores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of hematocrit for monitoring fluid resuscitation of burn patients in the acute phase of their care. METHOD We conducted a single-center retrospective study focused on patients admitted with a burn surface of more than 20 % of the total body surface area (TBSA) from 2014 to 2021. We investigated the relationship between the change in hematocrit and the volume administered for patient resuscitation. The change in hematocrit is the difference between an admission hematocrit and a second one taken between the eighth and twenty-fourth hour. RESULTS We included 230 patients with an average burn size of 39.1 ± 20.3 % TBSA, in 94.4 % by a thermal mechanism. The management seems to be in accordance with the current recommendations, with a volume administered during the first 24 h of 4.3 ± 2.5 ml/kg/ % BSA, allowing to obtain an hourly diuresis of 0.9 ± 0.7 ml/kg/h. We did not find any correlation between the pre-hospital volume administration and the hematocrit at admission (p = 0.36). Hematocrit decreased on average to -4.5 ± 8.1 % between admission and a control performed after the 8th hour. This decrease was weakly correlated with the volumes infused between the two samples (r2 =0.13, p < 0.001). A resuscitation above 5.2 ml/kg/ % Burn surface area is an independent factor for excess mortality. CONCLUSION Hematocrit or its variations in our limited data base appears to not reliably detect over-resuscitation, therefore it is possible that it may not be a relevant marker. These conclusions should be clarified in a multi-institutional prospective or real-world analysis to validate the findings and null hypothesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Timely fluid resuscitation remains the key to the early treatment of severe burns. Intraperitoneal (IP) fluid administration is a simple, rapid resuscitation strategy via a puncture in the abdominal wall. This study aimed to evaluate the fluid absorption and anti-shock effects of IP delivery in the early stage after severe burns. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 30% total body surface area full-thickness burn model was established using male C57BL/6 mice. A total of 126 mice were randomly assigned into six groups (n = 21): the sham injury group (SHAM), the burn group without fluid resuscitation (NR), and the four IP resuscitation groups (IP-A/B/C/D, each being intraperitoneally administered with 60, 80, 100, and 120 mL/kg of sodium lactate Ringer's solution post-injury). Three-hour post-burn, six mice in each group were randomly selected and sacrificed for blood and tissue sampling to detect the IP fluid absorption rate and evaluate organ damage because of low perfusion. The remaining 15 mice in each group were observed for the vital signs within 48-h post-injury, and their survival rate was calculated. RESULTS The 48-h survival rate increased in the IP-A (40.0%), IP-B (66.7%), IP-C (60.0%), and IP-D (13.3%) groups, compared with the NR group (0%). The mean arterial pressure, body temperature, and heart rate of mice were significantly stabilized in the IP groups. For the first 3-h post-injury, the absorption rates of groups IP-A (74.3% ± 9.5%) and IP-B (73.3% ± 6.9%) were significantly higher than those of groups IP-C (59.7% ± 7.1%) and IP-D (48.7% ± 5.7%). The levels of arterial blood pH, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, lactate, and hematocrit were better maintained in the IP groups. Intraperitoneal resuscitation remarkably reduced the injury scores in burn-induced histopathology of the liver, kidneys, lungs, and intestines, accompanied by decreased alanine transaminase, creatinine, interleukin-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α in plasma, and augmented superoxide dismutase 2 and inhibited malondialdehyde in tissues. Group IP-B has the best performance for these indices. CONCLUSIONS Intraperitoneal administration of isotonic saline post-burn can be adequately and rapidly absorbed, thereby boosting circulation and perfusion, precluding shock, alleviating organ damage caused by ischemia and hypoxia, and significantly increasing the survival rate. This technique, with a potential to be a supplement to existing resuscitation methods on the battlefield, is worth further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Effective initial fluid resuscitation is the cornerstone intervention in the setting of severe burn injury. Critically, few major advances in burn resuscitation have been made since the 1970s, and since that time there has been only modest improvement in overall morbidity and mortality. Recently, investigations regarding the dynamic changes of vascular endothelium, and more specifically the vascular endothelial glycocalyx, in the setting of severe burn injury and resuscitation have offered insight into the possibility of more tightly controlling fluid shifts and understanding the consequences thereof during this critical period. METHODS We conducted a literature search of the PubMed database using the terms "burn", and "glycocalyx" limited to studies published in the English language over the past 10 y. A total of 31 articles were initially identified. Abstracts and full text were manually reviewed to identify suitable articles. Of the identified articles, 10 were deemed relevant and included within this review, along with additional articles necessary to provide background on glycocalyx structure and function as well as principles of burn injury management. RESULTS Glycocalyx shedding is a process known to occur early in the setting of severe burn injury and resuscitation. The degree of shedding tends to increase with age and severity of injury. Though the role and regulation of this shedding is incompletely understood, it has direct consequences on vascular unction and permeability and likely coagulation as well. CONCLUSIONS Here in this research review, we examine what is known regarding the dynamic breakdown and reconstitution of the glycocalyx during burn injury and how it may be impacted by fluid resuscitation strategies. We further explore the need to more completely understand this mechanism and the consequences of its manipulation.

Abstract
Burn care in the prehospital and emergency settings requires rapid assessment of airway, breathing, and circulation. Intubation (if indicated) and fluid resuscitation are most important in emergency burn care. Total body surface area burned and depth of burn are important early assessments that help guide resuscitation and disposition. Burn care in the emergency department further includes carbon monoxide and cyanide toxicity evaluation and management.

Abstract
Burn management is a natural and distinctly programmed process involving overlapping phases of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. Burn wound healing involves initiation of inflammation, re-epithelialization, granulation, neovascularization and wound contraction. Despite the availability of multiple preparations for management of burn wound, there is dire need for efficacious alternative agents. Current approaches for burn wound management include pharmaceutical agents and antibiotics. However, high cost of synthetic drugs and accelerated resistance to antibiotics is challenging for both developed and developing nations. Among alternative options, medicinal plants have been a biocompatible, safe and affordable source of preventive/curative approaches. Due to cultural acceptance and patient compliance, there has been a focus on the use of botanical drugs and phytochemicals for burn wound healing. Keeping in consideration of medicinal herbs and phytochemicals as suitable therapeutic/adjuvant agents for burn wound management, this review highlights therapeutic potential of 35 medicinal herbs and 10 phytochemicals. Among these, Elaeis guineensis, Ephedra ciliate and Terminalia avicennioides showed better burn wound healing potential with varied mechanisms such as modulation of TNF-alpha, inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, eicosanoids, ROS and leukocyte response. Phytochemicals (oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, kirenol) also showed promising role in burn wound management though various pathways involving such as down regulation of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and inflammatory mediators including plasma proteases and arachidonic acid metabolites. This review provides a pavement for therapeutic/adjuvant use of potential botanical drugs and novel druggable phyto-compounds to target skin burn injury with diverse mechanisms, affordability and safety profile.

Abstract
Burns are a widespread global public health traumatic injury affecting many people worldwide. Non-fatal burn injuries are a leading cause of morbidity, resulting in prolonged hospitalization, disfigurement, and disability, often with resulting stigma and rejection. The treatment of burns is aimed at controlling pain, removing dead tissue, preventing infection, reducing scarring risk, and tissue regeneration. Traditional burn wound treatment methods include the use of synthetic materials such as petroleum-based ointments and plastic films. However, these materials can be associated with negative environmental impacts and may not be biocompatible with the human body. Tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to treating burns, and sustainable biomaterials have been developed as an alternative treatment option. Green biomaterials such as collagen, cellulose, chitosan, and others are biocompatible, biodegradable, environment-friendly, and cost-effective, which reduces the environmental impact of their production and disposal. They are effective in promoting wound healing and reducing the risk of infection and have other benefits such as reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis. This comprehensive review focuses on the use of multifunctional green biomaterials that have the potential to revolutionize the way we treat skin burns, promoting faster and more efficient healing while minimizing scarring and tissue damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological characteristics of paediatric burn can help to protect children from burn injuries. Most of the previous studies have been conducted on small scale and single centre in China. This study analysed the epidemiological characteristics of paediatric burn using a large-scale and multicentre database from 23 children's hospitals in China to increase child protection against burn injuries, improve the quality of care and reduce hospitalisation costs. METHODS Excerpted information from medical records of 6741 paediatric burn cases was extracted from the Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development database from 2016 to 2019. The epidemiological characteristics of patients, including gender, age, cause of burn injuries, complication, the timing of hospitalisation (season and month) and hospitalisation length and cost, were collected. RESULTS Male gender (63.23%), aged 1-2 years (69.95%), and hydrothermal scald (80.57%) were significantly dominant among cases. Furthermore, complications were significantly different among groups with different age of patients. Pneumonia was the most common complication (21%). Meanwhile, most paediatric burn occurred in spring (26.73%), and hospitalisation length and cost significantly depended on the cause of the burn injuries and surgical intervention. CONCLUSIONS This large-scale epidemiological study of paediatric burn in China revealed that boys aged 1-2 years with higher activity and lack of self-awareness are more likely to suffer from burn injuries by hydrothermal scald. In addition, complications, especially pneumonia, need attention and early prevention in paediatric burn.

Abstract
In our province, regional recommendations for optimal fluid resuscitation were published in 2011 to improve the management of acute burn patients prior to transfer to a specialized burn center. The purpose of this study was to determine compliance with these provincial burn resuscitation guidelines and their subsequent impact on patient outcomes. A retrospective review of patients transferred to the provincial burn center after being initially managed at peripheral sites was performed from 2011 to 2019. Patients were included if their burn injury was greater than 20% TBSA and they were transferred within 24 hours postburn injury. Charts were reviewed for the amount of fluid patients received and resuscitation associated outcomes. A total of 72 patients met the inclusion criteria, 37 of which were treated in accordance with the 2011 guidelines. For patients that followed the 2011 provincial guidelines, they received on average 3.2 cc/kg/TBSA of fluid during the first 24 hours postburn injury. Significantly more fluids were given when guidelines were not followed with an average of 4.4 cc/kg/TBSA (P = .03). Mortality rates were found to be significantly lower during the primary admission with guidelines compliance (16.2% vs 2.7%, P = .04). No significant differences were found between the remaining evaluated complications including abdominal compartment syndrome (8.1% vs 2.7%) and need for escharotomy (35.2% vs 21.6%). The use of clinical practice guidelines decreased excess IV fluid administration in additional to decreasing mortality rates for patients initially assessed in peripheral low volume centers.

Abstract
Severe burn is a serious acute trauma that can lead to significant complications such as sepsis, multiple organ failure, and high mortality worldwide. The gut microbiome, the largest microbial reservoir in the human body, plays a significant role in this pathogenic process. Intestinal dysbiosis and disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier are common after severe burn, leading to bacterial translocation to the bloodstream and other organs of the body, which is associated with many subsequent severe complications. The progression of some intestinal diseases can be improved by modulating the composition of gut microbiota and the levels of its metabolites, which also provides a promising direction for post-burn treatment. In this article, we summarised the studies describing changes in the gut microbiome after severe burn, as well as changes in the function of the intestinal mucosal barrier. Additionally, we presented the potential and challenges of microbial therapy, which may provide microbial therapy strategies for severe burn.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Choosing Wisely Campaign was launched in 2012 and has been applied to a broad spectrum of disciplines in almost thirty countries, with the objective of reducing unnecessary or potentially harmful investigations and procedures, thus limiting costs and improving outcomes. In Canada, patients with burn injuries are usually initially assessed by primary care and emergency providers, while plastic or general surgeons provide ongoing management. We sought to develop a series of Choosing Wisely statements for burn care to guide these practitioners and inform suitable, cost-effective investigations and treatment choices. METHODS The Choosing Wisely Canada list for Burns was developed by members of the Canadian Special Interest Group of the American Burn Association. Eleven recommendations were generated from an initial list of 29 statements using a modified Delphi process and SurveyMonkey™. RESULTS Recommendations included statements on avoidance of prophylactic antibiotics, restriction of blood products, use of adjunctive analgesic medications, monitoring and titration of opioid analgesics, and minimizing 'routine' bloodwork, microbiology or radiological investigations. CONCLUSIONS The Choosing Wisely recommendations aim to encourage greater discussion between those involved in burn care, other health care professionals, and their patients, with a view to reduce the cost and adverse effects associated with unnecessary therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, while still maintaining high standards of evidence-based burn care.

Abstract
Thermal skin burn injury affects both adults and children globally. Severe burn injury affects a patient's life psychologically, cosmetically, and socially. The pathophysiology of burn injury is well known. Due to the complexity of burn pathophysiology, the development of specific treatment aiding in tissue regeneration is required. Treatment of burn injury depends on burn severity, size of the burn and availability of donor site. Burn healing requires biochemical and cellular events to ensure better cell response to biochemical signals of the healing process. This led to the consideration of using cell therapy for severe burn injury. Adult mesenchymal stem cells have become a therapeutic option because of their ability for self-renewal and differentiation. Adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF), isolated from adipose tissues, is a heterogeneous cell population that contains adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ADSC), stromal, endothelial, hematopoietic and pericytic lineages. SVF isolation has advantages over other types of cells; such as heterogeneity of cells, lower invasive extraction procedure, high yield of cells, and fast and easy isolation. Therefore, SVF has many characteristics that enable them to be a therapeutic option for burn treatment. Studies have been conducted mostly in animal models to investigate their therapeutic potential for burn injury. They can be used alone or in combination with other treatment options. Treatment with both ADSCs and/or SVF enhances burn healing through increasing re-epithelization, angiogenesis and decreasing inflammation and scar formation. Research needs to be conducted for a better understanding of the SVF mechanism in burn healing and to optimize current techniques for enhanced treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Background The clinical efficacy of the third Military Medical University formula (TMMU formula) for fluid resuscitation stage was evaluated to improve the treatment level of adult patients with extensive burns during the shock stage. Methods Retrospective analysis of the data of 55 patients undergoing fluid resuscitation according to the TMMU formula within six hours after burn injury. The following indicators were collected: (1) demographic and injury information; (2) fluid resuscitation information; (3) efficiency information, including cardiovascular function, liver function, renal function, coagulation function evaluation indicators, blood concentration, and average urine output index. Results (1) In the first and second 24 hours after injury, the median fluid rehydration coefficient was 1.68 ml/kg·(%) TBSA and 1.15 ml/kg·(%) TBSA, the median ratio of crystal to colloid was 2.24 and 1.67, and the median urine output index was 0.75 ml/kg·h and 1.05 ml/kg·h, respectively. (2) The actual fluid volume during patient resuscitation is higher than the formula calculated volume, and this difference is more obvious in patients with burn area ≥80%. (3) In the second 24 hours, the value of the actual total fluid volume minus the formula total volume in the group with crystal to colloid ratio ≤2 was significantly lower than that in the ratio >2 group. (4) At 24 and 48 hours after injury, the cardiovascular function, liver function, renal function, and coagulation function were better than those before fluid resuscitation. Conclusions Early application of the TMMU formula for fluid resuscitation in adult patients with extensive burns is safe and effective, but the actual input volume often exceeds the volume calculated by the formula, especially in the second 24 hours after burn injury and in patients with larger burn areas. Increasing the colloid input volume can help reduce the total amount of fluid used for resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burns are severe injuries often associated with impaired wound healing. Impaired healing is caused by multiple factors, including dysregulated inflammatory responses at the wound site. Interestingly, montelukast, an antagonist for cysteinyl leukotrienes and U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved for treatment of asthma and allergy, was previously shown to enhance healing in excision wounds and to modulate local inflammation. METHODS In this study, the authors examined the effect of montelukast on wound healing in a mouse model of scald burn injury. Burn wound tissues isolated from montelukast- and vehicle-treated mice at various times after burn injury were analyzed for wound areas ( n = 34 to 36), reepithelialization ( n = 14), inflammation ( n = 8 to 9), and immune cell infiltration ( n = 3 to 6) and proliferation ( n = 7 to 8). RESULTS In contrast to previously described beneficial effects in excision wounds, this study shows that montelukast delays burn wound healing by impairing the proliferation of keratinocytes and endothelial cells. This occurs largely independently of inflammatory responses at the wound site, suggesting that montelukast impairs specifically the proliferative phase of wound healing in burns. Wound healing rates in mice in which leukotrienes are not produced were not affected by montelukast. CONCLUSION Montelukast delays wound healing mainly by reducing the proliferation of local cells after burn injury. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Although additional and clinical studies are necessary, our study suggests that burn patients who are on montelukast may exhibit delayed healing, necessitating extra observation.

Spectral Reflectance as a Unique Tissue Identifier in Healthy Humans and Inhalation Injury Subjects. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:3377. [PMID: 35591067 PMCID: PMC9103967 DOI: 10.3390/s22093377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Tracheal intubation is the preferred method of airway management, a common emergency trauma medicine problem. Currently, methods for confirming tracheal tube placement are lacking, and we propose a novel technology, spectral reflectance, which may be incorporated into the tracheal tube for verification of placement. Previous work demonstrated a unique spectral profile in the trachea, which allowed differentiation from esophageal tissue in ex vivo swine, in vivo swine, and human cadavers. The goal of this study is to determine if spectral reflectance can differentiate between trachea and other airway tissues in living humans and whether the unique tracheal spectral profile persists in the presence of an inhalation injury. Reflectance spectra were captured using a custom fiber-optic probe from the buccal mucosa, posterior oropharynx, and trachea of healthy humans intubated for third molar extraction and from the trachea of patients admitted to a burn intensive care unit with and without inhalation injury. Using ratio comparisons, we found that the tracheal spectral profile was significantly different from buccal mucosa or posterior oropharynx, but the area under the curve values are not high enough to be used clinically. In addition, inhalation injury did not significantly alter the spectral reflectance of the trachea. Further studies are needed to determine the utility of this technology in a clinical setting and to develop an algorithm for tissue differentiation.

Abstract
Burns are one of the most common causes of home injuries, characterized by serious damage to the skin and causing the death of affected tissues. In this review, we intended to collect information on the pathophysiological effects of burns in pediatric patients, with particular emphasis on local and systemic responses. A total of 92 articles were included in the review, and the time range of the searched articles was from 2000 to 2021. The occurrence of thermal injuries is a problem that requires special attention in pediatric patients who are still developing. Their exposure to various burns may cause disturbances in the immune response, not only in the area of tissue damage itself but also by disrupting the systemic immune response. The aspect of immunological mechanisms in burns requires further research, and in particular, it is important to focus on younger patients as the existence of subtle differences in wound healing between adults and children may significantly influence the treatment of pediatric patients.

Protective Effect of Moderate Hypotonic Fluid on Organ Dysfunction via Alleviating Lethal Triad Following Seawater Immersion With Hemorrhagic Shock in Rats. Front Physiol 2022; 13:827838.

Abstract
Previous studies found that seawater immersion combined with hemorrhagic shock (SIHS) induced serious organ function disorder, and lethal triad was a critical sign. There were no effective treatments of SIHS. Fluid resuscitation was the initial measurement for early aid following hemorrhagic shock, while the proper fluid for SIHS is not clear. Effects of different osmotic pressures [lactated Ringer’s (LR) solution, 0.3% saline, 0.6% saline, and 0.9% normal saline] on the lethal triad, mitochondrial function, vital organ functions, and survival were observed following SIHS in rats. The results showed that SIHS led to an obvious lethal triad, which presented the decrease of the body temperature, acidosis, and coagulation functions disorder in rats. Fluid resuscitation with different osmotic pressures recovered the body temperature and corrected acidosis with different levels; effects of 0.6% normal saline were the best; especially for the coagulation function, 0.6% normal saline alleviated the lethal triad significantly. Further studies showed that SIHS resulted in the damage of the mitochondrial function of vital organs, the increase of the vascular permeability, and, at the same time, the organ function including cardiac, liver, and kidney was disordered. Conventional fluid such as LR or 0.9% normal saline could not improve the mitochondrial function and vascular leakage and alleviate the damage of the organ function. While moderate hypotonic fluid, the 0.6% normal saline, could lighten organ function damage via protecting mitochondrial function. The 0.6% normal saline increased the left ventricular fractional shortening and the left ventricular ejection fraction, and decreased the levels of aspartate transaminase, alanine transferase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine in the blood. The effects of fluids with different osmotic pressures on the mean arterial pressure (MAP) had a similar trend as above parameters. The survival results showed that the 0.6% normal saline group improved the survival rate and prolonged the survival time, the 72 h survival rate was 7/16, as compared with the LR group (3/16). The results indicate that appropriate hypotonic fluid is suitable after SIHS, which alleviates the lethal triad, protects the mitochondrial function and organ functions, and prolongs the survival time.

Abstract
Background Red cell distribution width (RDW) and serum albumin concentration are associated with postoperative outcomes. However, the usefulness of the RDW/albumin ratio in burn surgery remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the association between RDW/albumin ratio and 90-day mortality after burn surgery. Methods Between 2013 and 2020, a retrospective review of patients in a burn intensive care unit (ICU) was performed. Receiver operating characteristic curve, multivariate Cox logistic regression, multivariate logistic regression and Kaplan–Meier analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between RDW/albumin ratio and 90-day mortality after burn surgery. Additionally, prolonged ICU stay rate (>60 days) and ICU stay were assessed. Results Ninety-day mortality was 22.5% (210/934) in burn patients. Risk factors for 90-day mortality were RDW/albumin ratio at postoperative day 1, age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, diabetes mellitus, inhalation injury, total body surface area burned, hypotensive event and red blood cell transfusion volume. The area under the curve of the RDW/albumin ratio at postoperative day 1 to predict 90-day mortality, after adjusting for age and total body surface area burned, was 0.875 (cut-off value, 6.8). The 90-day mortality was significantly higher in patients with RDW/albumin ratio >6.8 than in those with RDW/albumin ratio ≤6.8 (49.2% vs 12.3%, p < 0.001). Prolonged ICU stay rate and ICU stay were significantly higher and longer in patients with RDW/albumin ratio >6.8 than in those with RDW/albumin ratio ≤6.8 (34.5% vs 26.5%; 21 [11–38] vs 18 [7–32] days). Conclusion RDW/albumin ratio >6.8 on postoperative day 1 was associated with higher 90-day mortality, higher prolonged ICU stay rate and longer ICU stay after burn surgery.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Traumatic injuries, such as burn, are often complicated by ethanol intoxication at the time of injury. This leads to a myriad of complications and post-burn pathologies exacerbated by aberrant immune responses. Recent findings suggest that immune cell dysfunction in the gastrointestinal system is particularly important in deleterious outcomes associated with burn injuries. In particular, intoxication at the time of burn injury leads to compromised intestinal T cell responses, which can diminish intestinal immunity and promote bacterial translocation, allowing for increased secondary infections in the injured host and associated sequelae, such as multiple organ failure and sepsis. Regulatory T cells (Treg) have been identified as important mediators of suppressing effector T cell function. Therefore, the goal of this study was to assess the effects of ethanol intoxication and burn injury on Treg populations in small intestinal immune organs. We also evaluated the suppressive capability of Tregs isolated from injured animals. Male C57BL/6 mice were gavaged with 2.9 g/kg ethanol before receiving a ∼12.5% total body surface area scald burn. One day after injury, we identified a significant increase in Tregs number in small intestine Peyer's patches (∼×1.5) and lamina propria (∼×2). Tregs-producing cytokine IL-10 were also increased in both tissues. Finally, Tregs isolated from ethanol and burn-injured mice were able to suppress proliferation of effector T cells to a greater degree than sham vehicle Tregs. This was accompanied by increased levels of IL-10 and decreased levels of pro-proliferative cytokine IL-2 in cultures containing ethanol + burn Tregs compared with sham Tregs. These findings suggest that Treg populations are increased in intestinal tissues 1 day following ethanol intoxication and burn injury. Tregs isolated from ethanol and burn-injured animals also exhibit a greater suppression of effector T cell proliferation, which may contribute to altered T cell responses following injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To create a chart for estimating body surface area (BSA) for use in canine burn victims, similar to the human Rule of Nines. DESIGN Prospective study, from 2016 to 2017. SETTING University teaching hospital. ANIMALS Nine adult, medium-sized, mesocephalic dogs (5 females, 4 males). INTERVENTIONS Sedated dogs and fresh cadavers underwent full-body computed tomography (CT) scans. A 3-dimensional technique was used to calculate the surface area of specific body parts, as well as the surface area of the whole body. With the obtained measurements, a BSA chart was created. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Estimates for percent of total BSA obtained with CT images were as follows: head and abdomen 14%, respectively, neck and each of the thoracic limbs 9%, thorax 18%, pelvic limbs 11% each, and pelvis including the tail 5%. The most considerable differences between dogs and people in respect to the Rule of Nines chart were noticed in the head, the pelvic limbs, as well as in the groin region in people as compared with the pelvic/tail area in dogs. The surface areas of the front legs and thorax were the only body parts that corresponded with that of human body surfaces. CONCLUSIONS A chart for estimating canine body surface was created. Given the diversity of dog breeds, sizes, and body conformation, our results cannot be generalized to all dogs. Studies of more diverse populations are warranted.

Abstract
Burns are the second leading cause of unintentional injuries in children and are one of the major causes of disability in children. Timely and effective first-aid management of burns can have a major impact on the prognosis, but there is still a lack of the knowledge on burn management in the general public. With reference to expert opinions and related literature, this consensus summarizes the causes of burns, preventive measures, first-aid methods for common types of burns, and the prevention and treatment of serious complications of burns. It also provides recommendations on the most appropriate pre-hospital treatment. This consensus aims to emphasize the importance of burn prevention, improve the ability of first-aid treatment among witnesses and rescuers, avoid further injury caused by inappropriate treatment, and reduce the mortality and disability rates of burns and the harm to family and society. It can be used as guidance for pre-hospital treatment of childhood burns by first responders, parents, and passers-by.

Abstract
Burn injury induces a systemic hyperinflammatory response with detrimental side effects. Studies have described the biochemical changes induced by severe burns, but the transcriptome response is not well characterized. The goal of this work is to characterize the blood transcriptome after burn injury. Burn patients presenting to a regional center between 2012 and 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Blood was collected on admission and at predetermined time points (hours 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24). RNA was isolated and transcript levels were measured with a gene expression microarray. To identify differentially regulated genes (false-discovery rate ≤0.1) by burn injury severity, patients were grouped by TBSA above or below 20% and statistically enriched pathways were identified. Sixty-eight patients were analyzed, most patients were male with a median age of 41 (interquartile range, 30.5-58.5) years, and TBSA of 20% (11%-34%). Thirty-five patients had % TBSA injury ≥20%, and this group experienced greater mortality (26% vs 3%, P = .008). Comparative analysis of genes from patients with </≥20% TBSA revealed 1505, 613, 380, 63, 1357, and 954 differentially expressed genes at hours 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24, respectively. Pathway analysis revealed an initial up-regulation in several immune/inflammatory pathways within the ≥20% TBSA groups followed by shutdown. Severe burn injury is associated with an early proinflammatory immune response followed by shutdown of these pathways. Examination of the immunoinflammatory response to burn injury through differential gene regulation and associated immune pathways by injury severity may identify mechanistic targets for future intervention.

Abstract
Severe burns result in cardiovascular dysfunction, but responses in the peripheral vasculature are unclear. We hypothesize that severe burns disturb arterial contractility through acute changes in adrenergic and cholinergic receptor function. To address this, we investigated the changes in carotid artery contractility and relaxation following a severe burn. Thirty-four adult Sprague–Dawley male rats received a 40% total body surface area (TBSA) scald burn and fluid resuscitation using the Parkland formula. Control animals received sham burn procedure. Animals were serially euthanized between 6 h and 14 days after burn and endothelium-intact common carotid arteries were used for ex vivo force/relaxation measurements. At 6 h after burn, carotid arteries from burned animals demonstrated a > 50% decrease in cumulative dose-responses to norepinephrine (p < 0.05) and to 10−7 M angiotensin II (p < 0.05). Notably, pre-constricted carotid arteries also demonstrated reduced relaxation responses to acetylcholine (p < 0.05) 6 h after burn, but not to sodium nitroprusside. Histologic examination of cross-sectional planes revealed significant increases in carotid artery wall thickness in burned rats at 6 h versus 3 days, with increased collagen expression in tunica media at 3 days (p < 0.05). Carotid artery dysfunction occurs within 6 h after severe burn, demonstrating decreased sensitivity to adrenergic- and angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction and acetylcholine-induced relaxation.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Burn injuries are a common form of traumatic injury that leads to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Burn injuries are characterized by inflammatory processes and alterations in numerous organ systems and functions. Recently, it has become apparent that the gastrointestinal bacterial microbiome is a key component of regulating the immune response and recovery from burn and can also contribute to significant detrimental sequelae after injury, such as sepsis and multiple organ failure. Microbial dysbiosis has been linked to multiple disease states; however, its role in exacerbating acute traumatic injuries, such as burn, is poorly understood. In this article, we review studies that document changes in the intestinal microbiome after burn injury, assess the implications in post-burn pathogenesis, and the potential for further discovery and research.

Abstract
Severe burns often cause various systemic complications and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, which is the main cause of death. The lungs and kidneys are vulnerable organs in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome after burns. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) have been gradually applied in clinical practice and are beneficial for severe burn patients with refractory respiratory failure or renal dysfunction. However, the literature on ECMO combined with CRRT for the treatment of severe burns is limited. Here, we focus on the current status of ECMO combined with CRRT for the treatment of severe burns and the associated challenges, including the timing of treatment, nutrition support, heparinization and wound management, catheter-related infection and drug dosing in CRRT. With the advancement of medical technology, ECMO combined with CRRT will be further optimized to improve the outcomes of patients with severe burns.

Abstract
Burn surgery can cause extensive bleeding, which lead to perioperative blood transfusions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether blood transfusions during burn surgery, guided by standard monitoring with inspection of the operative field, measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, hourly diuresis, and concentrations of hemoglobin and lactate could sustain the preoperative cardiac output (CO) till end of surgery. We investigated 15 patients ≥18 years of age scheduled for burn surgery, where the perioperative monitoring included an arterial line. After induction of anesthesia and before start of surgery, we measured baseline values of CO with the minimally invasive LiDCOrapid, mean arterial pressure, and concentrations of hemoglobin and lactate in arterial blood. We measured these values every 30 minutes through surgery. The primary outcome was change in CO from baseline till end of surgery. Secondary outcomes included the change in concentrations of hemoglobin and lactate from baseline till end of surgery. We found no statistically significant change in CO from baseline till end of surgery (6.6 [±2.4] liters/min; 7.2 [±3.2] liters/min; P = .26). We found a statistically significant decrease in concentration of hemoglobin (7.2 [±0.8] mmol/liter; 6.2 [±0.9] mmol/liter; P = .0002), and a statistically significant increase in concentration of lactate (1.3 [±0.5] mmol/liter; 1.7 [±1] mmol/liter; P = .02). The perioperative blood transfusion guided by standard monitoring seemed to sustain CO from baseline till end of surgery; however, further research is needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to review and discuss some of the latest research results related to post-burn pathophysiological changes and provide some clues for future study. Background Burns are one of the most common and serious traumas and consist of a series of pathophysiological changes of thermal injury. Accompanied by thermal damage to skin and soft tissues, inflammatory mediators are released in large quantities. Changes in histamine, bradykinin, and cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), metabolic factors such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and activated neutrophils all affect the body’s vascular permeability. Methods We searched articles with subject words “microvascular permeability”, “burn” “endothelium”, and “endothelial barrier” in PubMed in English published from the beginning of database to Dec, 2020. Conclusions The essence of burn shock is the rapid and extensive fluid transfer in burn and non-burn tissue. After severe burns, the local and systemic vascular permeability increase, causing intravascular fluid extravasation, leading to a progressive decrease in effective circulation volume, an increase in systemic vascular resistance, a decrease in cardiac output, peripheral tissue edema, multiple organ failure, and even death. There are many cells, tissues, mediators and structures involved in the pathophysiological process of the damage to vascular permeability. Ulinastatin is a promising agent for this problem.

Early protein C activation is reflective of burn injury severity and plays a critical role in inflammatory burden and patient outcomes. Burns 2021; 48:91-103. [PMID: 34175158 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2021.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Revised: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Navigating the complexities of a severe burn injury is a challenging endeavour where the natural course of some patients can be difficult to predict. Straddling both the coagulation and inflammatory cascades that feature strongly in the burns systemic pathophysiology, we propose the pleiotropic protein C (PC) system may produce a viable biomarker to assist traditional evaluation methods for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. METHODS We enrolled 86 patients in a prospective observational cohort study. Over three weeks, serial blood samples were taken and measured for PC, activated (A)PC, their receptor endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), and a panel of inflammatory cytokines including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-17. Their temporal trends were analysed alongside clinical factors including burn size, burn depth, presence of inhalational injury, and a composite outcome of requiring increased support. RESULTS (i) APC increased from a nadir on Day 3 (2.3±2.1ng/mL vs 4.1±2.5ng/mL by Day 18, p<0.0005), only becoming appropriately correlated to PC from Day 6 onwards (r=0.412-0.721, p<0.05 for all Days 6-21). (ii) This early disturbance in the PC system was amplified in the more severe burns (≥30% total body surface area, predominantly full thickness, or with inhalational injury), which were characterised by a marked fall in PC activation (approximated by APC/PC ratio) and APC levels during Days 0-3 with low unchanged PC levels. Critically low levels of this cytoprotective agent was associated with greater inflammatory burden, as reflected by significantly elevated CRP, IL-6, and IL-8 levels in the more severe compared to less severe burns, and by negative correlations between both PC and APC with most inflammatory cytokines. (iii) Alongside clinical markers of severity at admission (burn size, burn depth, and presence of inhalational injury), only Day 0 APC/PC ratio (OR 1.048 (1.014-1.083), p=0.006), APC (OR 1.364 (1.032-1.803), p=0.029), PC (OR 0.899 (0.849-0.953), p<0.0005), and not any inflammatory cytokines were predictive markers of requiring increased support. Uniquely, decreased Day 0 PC was further individually associated with each increased total length of stay, ICU length of stay, intravenous fluid resuscitation, and total surgeries, as well as possibly mortality. CONCLUSION An early functional depletion of the cytoprotective PC system provides a physiological link between severe burns and the cytokine storm, likely contributing to worse outcomes. Our findings on the changes in APC, PC and PC activation during this pathological state support APC and PC as early diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and provides a basis for their therapeutic potential in severe burn injuries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the potential role of NLR to predict 90-day mortality. METHODS Data of 577 patients with burns over 30% of total body surface area were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors for 90-day mortality were evaluated using logistic regression analyses. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of the 3rd day NLR was performed and the optimal cut-off value was calculated. The 90-day mortality rates were compared between high and low NLR groups using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Age, mechanical ventilation, burn index, 3rd day NLR, and 7th day red blood cell and platelet (PLT) counts were found to be independent predictive values for 90-day mortality. In contrast, percentage of total body surface area burned, inhalation injury, 1st day white blood cell and neutrophil counts, the 3rd day lymphocytes and PLT counts, and 7th day hemoglobin level were not independently associated with 90-day mortality. The area under the ROC curve of the 3rd day NLR for severe burn-delayed death prediction was 0.665 (95% confidence interval, 0.591-0.739), and the optimal cut-off value of the 3rd day NLR was 10.50. The 90-day mortality rates differed significantly between the NLR >10.5 group and the NLR ≤ 10.5 group (17.03% vs 5.92%, respectively; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION These results suggested that the 3rd day NLR was associated with an increased risk of death in severely burned patients; thus, it can provide useful information to predict 90-day mortality.

Abstract
Burns are a global public health problem and the treatment of burn wounds is a major medical and economic issue. White jade snails (Achatina fulica) are now widely distributed in Asia, and they have been used to treat burns in folk medicine of China. In this study, the glycoproteins from white jade snails were investigated and their effect on burn healing was evaluated by a mouse burn model. The results showed that the snail mucus was mainly composed of proteins and polysaccharides, and it had good adhesion. The main component of snail mucus was glycoprotein from the results of DEAE Sepharose FF ion exchange chromatography. The 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging effect of 1 mg/mL snail mucus reached 13.77%. The wound healing rate of the snail mucus group was higher than that of the control group (p < 0.0001). Histopathological results showed that mice in the snail mucus group had a faster healing than that of the control group. The biochemical analysis was in agreement with the histopathological findings. These results suggested that glycoproteins from snail mucus showed effective wound healing activities in the skin of experimentally burned mice.

Abstract
Background Patients with severe burns continue to display a high mortality rate during the initial shock period. The precise molecular mechanism underlying the change in host response during severe burn shock remains unknown. This study aimed to identify key genes leading to the change in host response during burn shock. Methods The GSE77791 dataset, which was utilized in a previous study that compared hydrocortisone administration to placebo (NaCl 0.9%) in the inflammatory reaction of severe burn shock, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analyses of Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were performed. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) database and then visualized in Cytoscape. In addition, important modules in this network were selected using the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) algorithm, and hub genes were identified in cytoHubba, a Cytoscape plugin. Results A total of 1059 DEGs (508 downregulated genes and 551 upregulated genes) were identified from the dataset. The DEGs enriched in GO terms and KEGG pathways were related to immune response. The PPI network contained 439 nodes and 2430 protein pairs. Finally, important modules and hub genes were identified using the different Cytoscape plugins. The key genes in burn shock were identified as arginase 1 (ARG1), cytoskeleton-associated protein (CKAP4), complement C3a receptor (C3AR1), neutrophil elastase (ELANE), gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), orosomucoid (ORM1), and quiescin sulfhydryl (QSOX1). Conclusion The DEGs, functional terms and pathways, and hub genes identified in the present study can help shed light on the molecular mechanism underlying the changes in host response during burn shock and provide potential targets for early detection and treatment of burn shock.

The Pre-Hospital Initial Fluid Therapy Estimate in Early Nasty Burns (PHIFTEEN B, 15-B) Guideline applied to a retrospective cohort of Intensive Care Unit patients with major burns. Burns 2020; 46:1820-1828. [PMID: 33183830 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2020.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2019] [Revised: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/07/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate fluid administration in severe burns is a cornerstone of early burns management. The American Burns Association's (ABA) recommendation is to administer 2 mL-4 mL × burnt Body Surface Area (BSA) × weight in the first 24 h with half administered in the first eight hours. Unfortunately, the calculations involved are complex and clinicians do not estimate the BSA or weight well, which can lead to errors in the amount of fluid administered. To simplify cognitive load to calculate the fluid resuscitation of early burns, the investigators derived the PHIFTEEN B (15-B) guideline. The 15-B guideline estimates the initial hourly fluid for adults ≥ 50 kg to be: 15 mL × BSA (to the nearest 10%) AIMS: To model and determine the accuracy of the 15-B calculated based on the characteristics of a retrospective cohort of patients admitted with ≥ 20% BSA to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) Intensive Care Unit (ICU). METHODS The 15-B formula was retrospectively calculated on the prehospital BSA estimate on patients admitted to the RBWH ICU. In addition, the 15-B guideline was modelled against a variety of weights and BSAs. The fluid volume was deemed to be clinically significant if it was greater than 250 mL/h outside the ABA's recommendations. RESULTS The ICU cohort consisted of 107 patients (63.2% male, median age 37 years), with a median ICU estimated BSA of 40% and a median ICU weight estimation of 80 kg. In 43.9% of the cohort, the magnitude of the proportional difference between prehospital and ICU BSA estimate was greater than 25%. The 15-B formula accurately estimated the hourly fluid for all BSA (20%-100%) and weight combinations (50 kg-140 kg) in a BSA- weight matrix. When prehospital BSA estimate was utilized, 15-B guideline accurately estimated the fluid to be given within clinically significant limits for 97.2% of cases. CONCLUSIONS The 15-B formula is a simple, easy to calculate guideline which approximates the early fluid estimates in severely burned patients despite inaccuracy in prehospital BSA estimates.

Role and mechanism of PI3K/AKT/FoxO1/PDX-1 signaling pathway in functional changes of pancreatic islets in rats after severe burns. Life Sci 2020; 258:118145. [PMID: 32717270 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.118145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Studies on diabetes mellitus have shown that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/serine threonine kinase (AKT)/forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) signaling pathway can regulate insulin secretion by modulating the expression of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1). Therefore, it was hypothesized that the pathway also played an important role in functional abnormalities of pancreatic islets after severe burns. This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of the PI3K/AKT/FoxO1/PDX-1 signaling pathway in functional changes of pancreatic islets in rats post severe burns. MAIN METHODS Rats were grouped, subjected to full thickness burn injuries involving 50% total body surface area (TBSA), and injected intraperitoneally with BPV (HOpic) (0.6 mg/kg) or DMSO (0.55 mg/kg) once a day for three days. Glucose metabolism related indexes were measured by the glucometer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). PI3K/AKT/FoxO1/PDX-1 signaling pathway related indexes were detected through immunofluorescence, western blot and RT-qPCR analyses. KEY FINDINGS Dysglycemia and impaired insulin secretion occurred in rats, the activity of the PI3K/AKT/FoxO1/PDX-1 signaling pathway in the islets fell, and PDX-1 was translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm post severe burns. When BPV (HOpic) was used, glucose metabolism and insulin secretion were improved, the activity of the PI3K/AKT/FoxO1/PDX-1 signaling pathway in the islets was up-regulated, and PDX-1 was redistributed from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. SIGNIFICANCE The activity of the PI3K/AKT/FoxO1/PDX-1 signaling pathway declined following severe burns. When its activity was up-regulated, insulin secretion could be improved, thus ameliorating hyperglycemia.

Thermal Burn Injury Generates Bioactive Microvesicles: Evidence for a Novel Transport Mechanism for the Lipid Mediator Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF) That Involves Subcellular Particles and the PAF Receptor. JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY (BALTIMORE, MD. : 1950) 2020; 205:193-201.

Abstract
Thermal burn injuries are an important environmental stressor that can result in considerable morbidity and mortality. The exact mechanism by which an environmental stimulus to skin results in local and systemic effects is an area of active research. One potential mechanism to allow skin keratinocytes to disperse bioactive substances is via microvesicle particles, which are subcellular bodies released directly from cellular membranes. Our previous studies have indicated that thermal burn injury of the skin keratinocyte in vitro results in the production of the lipid mediator platelet-activating factor (PAF). The present studies demonstrate that thermal burn injury to keratinocytes in vitro and human skin explants ex vivo, and mice in vivo generate microvesicle particles. Use of pharmacologic and genetic tools indicates that the optimal release of microvesicles is dependent upon the PAF receptor. Of note, burn injury-stimulated microvesicle particles do not carry appreciable protein cytokines yet contain high levels of PAF. These studies describe a novel mechanism involving microvesicle particles by which a metabolically labile bioactive lipid can travel from cells in response to environmental stimuli.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several studies suggest that pirfenidone may have a potential off-label use for wound healing. However, the effectiveness of this medication in patients with burns remains uncertain. Accordingly, investigators sought to assess wound re-epithelialization in patients with second-degree burns after adding pirfenidone to usual care. DESIGN AND SETTING Single-center pilot, proof-of-concept, single-blind randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION Eight patients with second-degree burns were treated with occlusive hydrocolloid dressings and were randomly allocated to receive either no additional treatment or pirfenidone. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome of the study was to evaluate wound healing between groups based on the thickness of the re-epithelialized epidermis at day 7. Secondary outcomes were to qualitatively assess the development of fibrotic tissue in the dermis, anomalies in the basal membrane, and the development of collagen fibers by histologic analysis. Liver and renal functions were measured daily to assess the overall safety of oral pirfenidone. MAIN RESULTS Patients treated with pirfenidone showed a remarkable improvement in wound re-epithelialization at day 7 (148.98 ± 13.64 vs 119.27 ± 15.55 μm; P = .029; 95% confidence interval, 4.14-55.29). Histologic evaluations showed less wound fibrosis in the pirfenidone group. CONCLUSIONS A decrease in wound healing time by enhancing wound re-epithelialization was observed with pirfenidone. Larger clinical trials are needed to reach more reliable conclusions.

Abstract
Burn injuries are under-appreciated injuries that are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Burn injuries, particularly severe burns, are accompanied by an immune and inflammatory response, metabolic changes and distributive shock that can be challenging to manage and can lead to multiple organ failure. Of great importance is that the injury affects not only the physical health, but also the mental health and quality of life of the patient. Accordingly, patients with burn injury cannot be considered recovered when the wounds have healed; instead, burn injury leads to long-term profound alterations that must be addressed to optimize quality of life. Burn care providers are, therefore, faced with a plethora of challenges including acute and critical care management, long-term care and rehabilitation. The aim of this Primer is not only to give an overview and update about burn care, but also to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges and stigmata associated with burn injuries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) is the innate receptor of muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Our previous study revealed that MDP could enhance thermal injury-induced inflammatory cytokine production and organ function injury in rats. The present study was to determine the effect of MDP on autophagy and NOD2/receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinases (RICK) signaling pathway of lung injury after thermal injury. METHODS Forty male Sprague-Dawlay rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control (NC) group, MDP group, Scald group, and MDP + Scald group. Scald group only suffered 20% total body surface area third-degree (TBSA) thermal injury. MDP group was only administered 5.0 mg/kg MDP through the left femoral vein; 5.0 mg/kg MDP was administered through the left femoral vein at 24 h after thermal injury in the MDP + Scald group. RESULTS TBSA thermal injury (20%) not only significantly increased the plasma inflammatory cytokines production, but also elevated the expression of LC3-I/II, the accumulation of autophagosome in the lung tissue. Compared with the Scald group, MDP + Scald double hit led to more serious inflammatory responses and higher expression of NOD2 mRNA, RICK, NF-κB p65, LC3-I/II, and the accumulation of more autophagosome in the lung tissue. CONCLUSIONS MDP enhances thermal injury-induced autophagy and proinflammatory cytokine response of lung injury, which could be achieved via activating the NOD2/RICK signaling pathway in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allograft skin (AS) transplantation has been considered to be the gold standard for replacing tissue damage, following burns. However, increasingly new biosynthetic skin substitutes are being developed as alternatives. The objective of this systematic review is to compare AS with other skin substitutes, which have been used in the treatment of burns. METHODS Randomized clinical trial (RCT) and nonrandomized clinical trial (NRCT) studies comparing AS to any other skin substitute in the treatment of burns were extracted from PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science. For the risk of bias analysis, the Cochrane bias risk handbook was used for RCT studies and ROBINS-1 was used for NRCT studies. Outcomes such as healing, self-grafting, scar appearance, and mortality were evaluated. RESULTS Twelve RCT and six NRCT were selected, with most of the methodologies presenting a high risk of bias. Based on the outcomes of the studies, it was not possible to detect any advantages for using AS, as opposed to other skin substitutes. In the meta-analysis, only two outcomes could be evaluated: healing and graft take percentage; however, no significant differences were observed between the groups. CONCLUSION Because of the poor quality of the primary studies, it was not possible to identify differences in the results that compared the use of AS with other substitutes in the treatment of patients with burns. These results support the fact that surgeons primarily base the choice of skin substitute on clinical experience and cost, at least when treating burns.

One-hit wonder: Late after burn injury, granulocytes can clear one bacterial infection but cannot control a subsequent infection. Burns 2019; 45:627-640.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Burn injury induces an acute hyperactive immune response followed by a chronic immune dysregulation that leaves those afflicted susceptible to multiple secondary infections. Many murine models are able to recapitulate the acute immune response to burn injury, yet few models are able to recapitulate long-term immune suppression and thus chronic susceptibility to bacterial infections seen in burn patients. This has hindered the field, making evaluation of the mechanisms responsible for these susceptibilities difficult to study. Herein we describe a novel mouse model of burn injury that promotes chronic immune suppression allowing for susceptibility to primary and secondary infections and thus allows for the evaluation of associated mechanisms. METHODS C57Bl/6 mice receiving a full-thickness contact burn were infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa 14 days (primary infection) and/or 17 days (secondary infection) after burn or sham injury. The survival, pulmonary and systemic bacterial load as well as frequency and function of innate immune cells (neutrophils and macrophages) were evaluated. RESULTS Following secondary infection, burn mice were less effective in clearance of bacteria compared to sham injured or burn mice following a primary infection. Following secondary infection both neutrophils and macrophages recruited to the airways exhibited reduced production of anti-bacterial reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and the pro-inflammatory cytokineIL-12 while macrophages demonstrated increased expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 compared to those from sham burned mice and/or burn mice receiving a primary infection. In addition the BALF from these mice contained significantly higher level so of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 compared to those from sham burned mice and/or burn mice receiving a primary infection. CONCLUSIONS Burn-mediated protection from infection is transient, with a secondary infection inducing immune protection to collapse. Repeated infection leads to increased neutrophil and macrophage numbers in the lungs late after burn injury, with diminished innate immune cell function and an increased anti-inflammatory cytokine environment.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the authors due to errors in the data. The authors indicated that they expanded the original sample size from 12 to 50, to study blood circulation upon other types of burns. At the same time, they further verified the results reported in this paper. The decrease in blood volume of the experimental group was not significantly slowed compared to the control group as reported. Since that was the basis of this work, this flaw may shatter all resulting hemodynamic data measured by the PICCO method. The authors have been unable to determine the source of the error.
