Abstract
Clinically, the condition of skeletal muscle injury is the key to the process of high voltage electrical burn (HVEB) wound repair. The aim of this study was to identify the potential mechanisms and intervention targets of skeletal muscle injury after HVEB. A skeletal muscle injury model in SD rats with HVEB was made. Pathological examination and transcriptome sequencing of injured skeletal muscles were performed, and the expression levels of key proteins and genes in related signaling pathways were verified. Skeletal muscle injury was progressively aggravated within 48 h, then the injury was gradually repaired with scar formation occurring within 1 week. The mechanism of skeletal muscle injury is complex and varied, and ferroptosis is one of the mechanisms. The ferrous iron content in the injured skeletal muscle tissue of model rats increased significantly at 24 h after injury. After 24 h, damage to injured skeletal muscle tissue could be alleviated by increasing iron storage and blocking lysosomal phagocytosis of autophagy. Skeletal muscle injury caused by HVEB is characterized by progressive progression after injury. Ferroptosis is involved in the mechanism of HVEB, and iron metabolism-related proteins may be potential targets for preventing progressive skeletal muscle injury.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
