Split-thickness skin grafts remain central to the strategy of burn wound treatment. The dressing used to cover the donor wound site has a significant effect on healing parameters. The purpose of this study was to compare split-thickness skin graft donor site reepithelialization under Xeroform and Jelonet dressings. A dermatome was used to cut two consecutive strips of skin from 25 paired donor sites on the thigh, calf, or back of 19 participants. Standardization of the harvest method was achieved by using the same surgeon to harvest the compared skin graft strips, with attention to consistency of dermatome skin-thickness setting, downward pressure, and angle of dermatome approach. A strip of Xeroform or Jelonet was applied to one of each pair of wounds. Epidermal and dermal thickness was measured from biopsy specimens cut at the midpoint of each split-thickness graft strip. The day of final dressing separation was declared the day of complete donor reepithelialization (healing). The mean healing time for Xeroform and Jelonet was 10.4 +/- 2.6 days (n = 25) and 10.6 +/- 2.8 days (n = 25) (p = 0.76) at sites cut to a mean depth of 0.23 +/- 0.08 mm and 0.23 +/- 0.09 mm (p = 0.89), respectively. There was no correlation between graft thickness and healing time for sites dressed with Xeroform (r = 0.17) or Jelonet (r = 0.02). Donors sites reharvested 10 to 21 days after a prior harvest healed an average of 3.1 days earlier than virgin sites (8.4 +/- 1.6 versus 11.5 +/- 2.6 days, p < 0.001), although reharvested grafts were on average 0.05 mm thicker (p = 0.10). The mean thickness of reepithelialized donor-site epidermis (0.13 +/- 0.04 mm, n = 30) was found to be twice the thickness of virgin epidermis from the same sites (0.06 +/- 0.02 mm, n = 38, p < 0.001). Thirty-six grafts harvested with dermatomes set to cut 8/1000 inch (0.20 mm) deep ranged from 0.12 to 0.42 mm thick, with only eight of these grafts measuring within +/-10 percent of the desired thickness setting. Before donor dressing separation, Xeroform and Jelonet dressings were judged to be more comfortable by nine patients and one patient, respectively, whereas no difference was detected by six patients. The authors now use Xeroform as the preferred donor dressing.  相似文献

A combination of in vivo and in vitro experiments were performed to determine the extent to which exogenous leptin regulates serum growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) concentrations, and the abundance of IGF-1 mRNA in major peripheral tissues. Initially (Experiment 1), a recombinant human leptin analog was administered i.m. to young growing pigs (approximately 27 kg body weight) for 15 days at 0 (control), 0.003, 0.01 and 0.03 mg. kg(-1). day(-1). Although there was no sustained effect of leptin on serum GH, there was a reduction (P < 0.02) in serum IGF-1 at the intermediate dose that paralleled a decrease (P < 0.09) in hepatic IGF-1 expression. Leptin, at these doses, did not reduce feed intake (P > 0.57), nor was there an effect of leptin on dietary nitrogen retention (P > 0.97). In a second experiment, pigs were injected with vehicle or a higher dose of leptin (0.05 mg. kg(-1). day(-1)) for 14 days. A third treatment group was injected with vehicle and pair-fed to the intake of the group treated with leptin. In this study, exogenous leptin resulted in a sustained increase in serum leptin (P < 0.0001) and reduction in feed intake of approximately 30% (P < 0.0001). Serum IGF-1 was depressed in both the leptin-treated and pair-fed groups, relative to the group allowed ad-libitum intake (P < 0.01). Furthermore, there was no difference among treatments in the relative abundance of IGF-1 mRNA in skeletal muscle (P > 0.42) or adipose tissue (P > 0.26), and liver mRNA abundance was actually increased (P < 0.01) by leptin, despite the lower feed intake. Finally, to determine whether leptin altered the secretion of IGF-1 by isolated pig hepatocytes, primary cultures were incubated with leptin for 24 to 48 hr (Experiment 3). Leptin (100 nM) caused a sharp reduction (P < 0.0001) in dexamethasone-induced IGF-1 secretion at 24 hr (47% reduction) and at 48 hr (40% reduction). Collectively, these data indicate that leptin may regulate hepatic IGF-1 production in the pig, independent of GH, but that hepatocyte sensitivity to leptin may be depend on dose and in vitro vs. in vivo conditions.  相似文献

In guinea pigs between days 41-46 of pregnancy prenatal growth has been manipulated by alteration of nutritional state. Three methods were used. Uterine artery ligation at day 30 of pregnancy depressed fetal growth rate by greater than 50% and was associated with falls in plasma insulin, IGF-1, cortisol, thyroid hormone, glucose, acetate and free fatty acid concentrations and rises in that of IGF-2, glucagon and amino acids. Fetal plasma was inhibitory to sulphate incorporation into pig costal cartilage. Complete food withdrawal from pregnant guinea pigs for 2 days at days 43-44 of pregnancy caused mild fetal growth retardation and similar changes in plasma constituents, except in that plasma IGF-2 concentrations were now depressed and plasma was not inhibitory to sulphate incorporation into pig costal cartilage. Production of hypoglycaemia by 4-times-daily maternal injections of glucose between days 41-46 of pregnancy accelerated fetal growth rate. It also elevated fetal plasma concentrations of insulin, IGF-1, IGF-2, sulphation-promoting activity, thyroid hormones, glucose and free fatty acids and depressed that of glucagon and amino acids. Fetal growth rate during the experimental period showed a good correlation with plasma glucose, insulin and IGF-1 and, to a certain extent, with sulphation-promoting activity. It did not correlate closely with fetal plasma IGF-2 concentration. Hepatic glycogen concentrations showed a good correlation with plasma IGF-2 levels.  相似文献

A study was undertaken to evaluate the potential utility of basic fibroblast growth factor in the induction of angiogenesis and osseous healing in bone previously exposed to high doses of irradiation. Thirty New Zealand rabbits were evaluated by introducing basic fibroblast growth factor into irradiated mandibular resection sites either prior to or simultaneous with reconstruction by corticocancellous autografts harvested from the ilium. The fate of the free bone grafts was then evaluated at 90 days postoperatively by microangiographic, histologic, and fluorochrome bone-labeling techniques. Sequestration, necrosis, and failure to heal to recipient osseous margins was observed both clinically and histologically in all nontreated irradiated graft sites as well as those receiving simultaneous angiogenic stimulation at the time of graft placement. No fluorescent activity was seen in these graft groups. In the recipient sites pretreated with basic fibroblast growth factor prior to placement of the graft, healing and reestablishment of mandibular contour occurred in nearly 50 percent of the animals. Active bone formation was evident at cortical margins adjacent to the recipient sites but was absent in the more central cancellous regions of the grafts.  相似文献

Ghrelin, a nature ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), stimulates a release of growth hormone, prolactin and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Also, ghrelin increases food intake in adult rats and humans and exhibits gastroprotective effect against experimental ulcers induced by ethanol or stress. The aim of present study was to examine the influence of ghrelin administration on gastric and duodenal growth and expression of pepsin and enterokinase in young mature rats with intact or removed pituitary. METHODS: Two week after sham operation or hypophysectomy, eight week old Wistar male rats were treated with saline (control) or ghrelin (4, 8 or 16 nmol/kg/dose) i.p. twice a day for 4 days. Expression of pepsin in the stomach and enterokinase in the duodenum was evaluated by real-time PCR. RESULTS: In animals with intact pituitary, treatment with ghrelin increased food intake, body weight gain and serum level of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). These effects were accompanied with stimulation of gastric and duodenal growth. It was recognized as the significant increase in gastric and duodenal weight and mucosal DNA synthesis. In both organs, ghrelin administered at the dose of 8 nmol/kg caused maximal growth-promoting effect. In contrast to these growth-promoting effects, administration of ghrelin reduced expression of mRNA for pepsin in the stomach and was without effect on expression of mRNA for enterokinase in the duodenum. Hypophysectomy alone lowered serum concentration of growth hormone under the detection limit and reduced serum level of IGF-1 by 90%. These effects were associated with reduction in daily food intake, body weight gain and gastroduodenal growth. In hypophysectomized rats, administration of ghrelin was without significant effect on food intake, body weight gain or growth of gastroduodenal mucosa. Also, serum concentration of growth hormone or IGF-1 was not affected by ghrelin administration in rats with removed pituitary. CONCLUSION: Administration of ghrelin stimulates gastric and duodenal growth in young mature rats with intact pituitary, but inhibits expression of mRNA for pepsin in the stomach. Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 play an essential role in growth-promoting effects of ghrelin in the stomach and duodenum.  相似文献

A study was undertaken of the effects of heterografts (lyophilized porcine skin or bovine dermis) on the healing of split-skin graft donor sites. When compared with a petrolatum gauze dressing, no advantages were found. Some disadvantages developed, however, which led us to discontinue their use.  相似文献

The effect of feeding isocaloric test diets containing 35, 45 and 55% protein, with and without inclusion of the anabolic steroid hormone, ethylestrenol, was studied in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri , in relation to blood chemistry. The control (no hormone) and experimental diets (hormone-supplemented), were fed for a total of 60 days, after which time all groups of fish were fed an identical commercial diet with no hormone for a further 30 days (withdrawal period). After 60 days, the body weights offish fed the 35 and 45% experimental diets were significantly greater than their respective controls, and after hormone withdrawal, increased growth was still apparent in the 35% experimental group.
No significant changes in serum amino acid nitrogen (AAN), protein, or glucose in relation to the dietary protein level, or inclusion of steroid, were observed after 30 days. Serum creatinine, however, increased with an increase in dietary protein, and was significantly higher in the 35% experimental group than the respective control. After 60 days, the most significant observation was the marked increase in serum glucose with an increase in dietary protein, but respective control and experimental values were not significantly different at this time. Following a 30-day withdrawal period, serum AAN in the 55% experimental group was significantly higher than the control, whereas serum protein, creatinine, and glucose stabilized to similar concentrations in all groups. Over the 90-day period of feeding, in both control and experimental groups, serum AAN and protein tended to increase, serum creatinine and glucose to decrease, whilst haematocrit remained constant. It is concluded that addition of ethylestrenol to trout diets has apparently little effect on serum metabolite concentrations and haematocrit, the most significant variations being related more to diet composition and duration of study.  相似文献

目的:探讨血流变学和血清学指标在骨折延迟愈合患者中的变化及其临床意义。方法:随机选取2010年1月~2016年6月在我院进行手术治疗的骨折延迟愈合及骨折正常愈合患者各90例,分别为观察组与对照组,对比分析两组患者术后第1、8、12周时血清可溶性血管细胞黏附分子1(sVCAM-1)、胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF-1)、血小板衍生生长因子(PDGF)及人可溶性细胞间黏附分子1(sICAM-1)和红细胞刚性指数、红细胞聚集指数、血浆黏度的差异。结果:术后第1、8、12周两组血清学及血流变学各指标整体相比差异均具有统计学意义(均P0.05),且组内两两比较均具有统计学差异(均P0.05)。术后8、12周观察组血清s ICAM-1、sVCAM-1、红细胞刚性指数、红细胞聚集指数、血浆黏度均高于对照组,而血清PDGF、IGF-1均低于对照组,比较差异均具有统计学意义(均P0.05)。结论:骨折患者血清sICAM-1、PDGF、IGF-1、sVCAM-1及红细胞刚性指数、红细胞聚集指数、血浆黏度水平会随着病程进展发生变化,并且血清sICAM-1、sVCAM-1及红细胞刚性指数、红细胞聚集指数、血浆黏度水平的升高,血清PDGF、IGF-1水平的降低可能是引起骨折延迟愈合的重要因素,对于骨折患者的临床治疗具有重要临床意义。  相似文献

营养状况对幼年鲤鱼肝脏IGF-Ⅰ mRNA表达的影响   总被引:11,自引:1,他引:11  
华益民  林浩然 《动物学报》2001,47(1):94-100
通过室外喂养观察3种营养状况对幼年鲤鱼生长、血清生长激素(GH)水平和组织胰岛素样生长因子-Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ)mRNA表达的影响。一组鱼喂含40%酪蛋白的饵料(H组),一组鱼喂含20%酪蛋白的饵料(L组),饵料的总能量相同;另一组鱼先饥饿32天再投喂含40%酪蛋白的饵料。禁食后饥饿组鲤鱼体重和体长的生长受阻,在第16天饥饿组鱼血清GH水平明显升高,到第32天达到H组的4倍;而肝组织IGF-Ⅰ mRNA水平在第16天无明显下降,但是到第32天已降到不到H组的一半。鲤鱼其它组织饥饿32天未发现IGF-Ⅰ mRNA表达有明显变化。饥饿32天后开始投喂含40%酪蛋白的饵料,鲤鱼生长、肝组织IGF-Ⅰ mRNA的表达水平逐渐恢复,再投喂16天皆与H组无明显差异。再投喂过程中,GH水平也逐渐下降,第16天恢复正常。实验结果提示鲤鱼营养对肝组织IGF-Ⅰ mRNA的表达有调节作用。营养缺乏将导致鲤鱼肝组织IGF-Ⅰ mRNA的表达水平也相应恢复正常,从而导致鲤鱼生长恢复。同时,实验结果也提示,鲤鱼肝以外的组织IGF-Ⅰ mRNA表达不受营养调节。L组鲤鱼在喂养过程中,体重和体长的增长比H组低,但即使喂养40天,两组鱼体重和体长并无显著差异。两组鱼血清生长激素水平和各组织IGF-Ⅰ mRNA的表达水平到实验第32天也未发现有明显差异。推测在鲤鱼含正常能量和20%酪蛋白的饵料已能维持正常IGF-Ⅰ mRNA的表达。L组和H组鱼肝IGF-Ⅰ mRNA在喂养1个月后仍无显著差异也可能与实验时间较短有关。  相似文献

In the art of plastic surgery, the reconstruction of tissue defects to obtain cosmetic and functional recovery is the major concern. Skin grafting is the most frequently used procedure for reconstructing defects of various size and anatomical localizations. On the other hand, donor-site problems associated with this invaluable procedure are inevitable. Various methods are used in the postoperative management of the partial-thickness donor site created during the harvest of a split-thickness skin graft. Each technique has the potential for complications of fluid loss, excessive pain, prolonged period of healing and immobilization, hypertrophic scarring, and undesirable pigmentation. Donor-site pain is probably the most disturbing complication in the early postoperative period. The aim of this article is to point out the significance of donor-site pain, which has not been emphasized thoroughly in the literature, and to introduce flap skin as a potential graft donor site for patients in whom reduction of donor-site morbidity is of primary concern. The principal goal of the technique described in this article is to eliminate donor-site pain by harvesting the graft from the flap that is insensate after the elevation. In 15 patients, the overlying skin of the flap that had been used for reconstructive purposes was used as the donor site (group I). In the remaining 23 patients, the posterolateral thigh was used as the donor site (group II). Donor-site discomfort was recorded during the first 8 days postoperatively using a visual analogue scale. To analyze the data, we used the Friedman test, Dunn's multiple comparison test, and Mann-Whitney U test. It was observed that the visual analogue scale of both of the groups showed a significant decrease within days (group I, p < 0.0001; group II, p < 0.0001). The mean pain scores were significantly lower in group I than in group II (p < 0.0001). When donor-site pain is of primary concern, this procedure provides uneventful and comfortable healing while avoiding postoperative pain in the donor site. For that reason, this technique might be used in appropriate cases to minimize donor-site pain.  相似文献

The skin plays an important role in defending the body against the environment. Treatments for burns and skin injuries that use autologous or allogenic skin grafts derived from adult or embryonic stem cells are promising. Embryonic stem cells are candidates for regenerative and reparative medicine. We investigated the utility of keratinocyte-like cells, which are differentiated from mouse embryonic stem cells, for wound healing using a mouse surgical wound model. Mice were allocated to the following groups: experimental, in which dressing and differentiated cells were applied after the surgical wound was created; control, in which only the surgical wound was created; sham, in which only the dressing was applied after the surgical wound was created; and untreated animal controls with healthy skin. Biopsies were taken from each group on days 3, 5 and 7 after cell transfer. Samples were fixed in formalin, then stained with Masson’s trichrome and primary antibodies to interleukin-8 (IL-8), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), collagen-1 and epidermal growth factor (EGF) using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique for light microscopy. Wound healing was faster in the experimental group compared to the sham and control groups. The experimental group exhibited increased expression of IL-8, FGF-2 and MCP-1 during early stages of wound healing (inflammation) and collagen-1 and EGF expression during late stages of wound healing (proliferation and remodeling). Keratinocytes derived from embryonic stem cells improved wound healing and influenced the wound healing stages.  相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is responsible for many systemic growth hormone (GH) functions although it has an extensive number of inherent activities (anabolic, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory). The potential options for IGF-1 therapy arise as a promising strategy in a wide list of human diseases. However, deeper studies are needed from a suitable animal model. All human conditions of IGF-1 deficiency consist in partially decreased IGF-1 levels since total absence of this hormone is hardly compatible with life. The aim of this work was to confirm that heterozygous Igf-1 +/? mice (Hz) may be considered as an appropriate animal model to study conditions of IGF-1 deficiency, focusing on early ages. Heterozygous Igf-1 +/? mice were compared to homozygous Igf-1 +/+ by assessing gene expression by quantitative PCR, serum circulating levels by ELISA, and tissue staining. Compared to controls, Hz mice (25 days old) showed a partial but significant reduction of IGF-1 circulating levels, correlating with a reduced body weight and diminished serum IGFBP-3 levels. Hz mice presented a significant decrease of IGF-1 gene expression in related organs (liver, bone, testicles, and brain) while IGF-1 receptor showed a normal expression. However, gene expression of growth hormone receptor (GHR) was increased in the liver but reduced in the bone, testicles, and brain. In addition, a significant reduction of cortical bone thickness and histopathological alterations in the testicles were found in Hz mice when compared to controls. Finally, the lifelong evolution of IGF-1 serum levels showed significant differences throughout life until aging in mice. Results in this paper provide evidence for considering heterozygous mice as a suitable experimental model, from early stages, to get more insight into the mechanisms of the beneficial actions induced by IGF-1 replacement therapy.  相似文献
