Objective: To explore the classification and repair effects of stage 4 pressure injury in ischial tuberosity in elderly patients. Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2021 to December 2022, 45 elderly patients with stage 4 pressure injury in ischial tuberosity of type 4b, 4c, and 4d, who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Bengbu Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Bengbu Medical University, and Lu'an Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University (hereinafter referred to as the three hospitals) were selected as the control group, including 28 males and 17 females, aged 60 to 78 years. Fifty elderly patients with stage 4 pressure injury in ischial tuberosity of type 4b, 4c, and 4d, who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the three hospitals from January 2023 to December 2024 were selected as the observation group, including 31 males and 19 females, aged 60 to 80 years. The stage 4 pressure injury in ischial tuberosity of patients in observation group were classified on admission, and the targeted surgical methods were selected. For type 4b, the fascial flap was preferred for repair, including fascial flap with skin pedicle (12 cases) and kite flap (14 cases); for type 4c, myocutaneous flap repair was preferred (17 cases); for type 4d, island myocutaneous flap (4 cases) or a combination of muscle flap and flaps (3 cases) was preferred for repair. The surgical methods for repairing the pressure injury of patients in control group were selected based on the surgeon's clinical experience. The type 4b was repaired with fascial flap with skin pedicle in 18 cases and kite flap in 6 cases; the type 4c was repaired with fascial flap with skin pedicle in 6 cases, kite flap in 7 cases, and myocutaneous flap in 3 cases; the type 4d was repaired with kite flap in 2 cases and myocutaneous flap in 3 cases. The sizes of wounds in the two groups of patients were 5.5 cm×4.5 cm to 8.0 cm×7.0 cm after the wound bed was prepared, and the sizes of grafted tissue flaps were 5.0 cm×4.5 cm to 10.0 cm×8.0 cm. The wounds in the flap donor sites were directly sutured or repaired with a relay flap. The following data were recorded, including the wound healing rate after one-time surgical repair, wound healing time, length of hospital stay, hospitalization treatment cost, pressure ulcer scale for healing (PUSH) score at discharge, and recurrence rate of pressure injury during follow-up in two groups of patients. Results: The wound healing rate after one-time surgical repair of patients in observation group was 88.00% (44/50), which was significantly higher than 66.67% (30/45) in control group (with relative risk of 1.32, 95% confidence interval of 1.08 to 1.61, χ2=6.48, P<0.05). After adjusting the general information using multiple logistic regression analysis, the wound healing rate after one-time surgic

Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of tannic acid/magnesium nanocomplex (MgTA NC) on wound healing in rats with full-thickness scald. Methods: This study was an experimental study. The MgTA NC with good biocompatibility was synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Mouse RAW 264.7 cells were divided into endotoxins/lipopolysaccharides (LPS) alone group, low MgTA NC group, medium MgTA NC group, and high MgTA NC group, which were all treated with LPS at final mass concentration of 1 μg/mL, and then cultured respectively with MgTA NC at the final mass concentration of 0 (without), 2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 μg/mL for 24 hours. The protein expressions of M1 type macrophage marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), M2 type macrophage marker CD163, as well as glycolysis metabolism-related proteins pyruvate kinase type M2 (PKM2) and hexokinase in cells were detected by Western blotting; the expression levels of succinate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The sample size in cell experiment was 3. Twelve six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and subjected to full-thickness scald on their backs using a temperature-controlled electrothermal burn device. The rats were assigned to control group, simple hydrogel group, and composite hydrogel group according to the random number table method, with 4 rats in each group. The wounds were treated with phosphate buffered saline, methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel, or GelMA hydrogel loaded with MgTA NC, respectively. The wound healing rates were calculated at post-injury day 3, 7, and 14 (with the sample size of 4), and the expression level of inflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in the wound tissue at post-injury day 14 was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results: After 24 hours of culture, the protein expressions of iNOS, the M1 type macrophage marker in RAW 264.7 cells decreased successively in LPS alone group, low MgTA NC group, medium MgTA NC group, and high MgTA NC group, while the protein expressions of CD163, the M2 type macrophage marker increased successively, and the protein expressions of PKM2 and hexokinase decreased successively. After 24 hours of culture, compared with those in LPS alone group, the expression levels of succinate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in RAW 264.7 cells in low MgTA NC group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with those in low MgTA NC group, the expression levels of succinate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in RAW 264.7 cells in medium MgTA NC group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with those in medium MgTA NC group, the expression levels of succinate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in RAW 264.7 cells in high MgTA NC group were significantly increased (P<0.05).

Objective: To explore the effects and mechanism of electroacupuncture stimulation on the survival of multi-territory perforator flaps in rats. Methods: This study was an experimental study. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 8-10 weeks were collected and divided into electroacupuncture stimulation group and control group according to the random number table method, with 15 rats in each group. Doppler blood flow detectors were used to explore the positions of the dorsal deep circumflex artery, posterior intercostal artery, and thoracodorsal artery in the two groups of rats, and a multi-territory perforator flap was designed and resected with the dorsal deep circumflex artery as the pedicle after ligation of the posterior intercostal artery and thoracodorsal artery, and the flap was replanted in situ. Before the operation, the skin in the area containing choke vessels at the junction between the angiosomes of the thoracodorsal artery and posterior intercostal artery (i.e. the choke zone Ⅱ) in the flaps of rats in electroacupuncture stimulation group was subjected to electroacupuncture stimulation for 1 hour per day for 7 consecutive days, while the flaps of rats in control group received no electroacupuncture stimulation. Seven days after the operation, the survival status of the flaps of all rats in the two groups was observed and the flap survival rate was calculated; the skin tissue from the choke zone Ⅱ was collected and stained with hematoxylin-eosin to observe the microvascular neogenesis and calculate the microvessel density (with sample number of 3). Immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expression and distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of VEGF (with sample number of 3). Results: Seven days after the operation, the flaps of rats in control group were partially blackened and necrotic, while those in electroacupuncture stimulation group survived with almost no necrosis. The flap survival rate of rats in electroacupuncture stimulation group was (92.1±2.1)%, which was significantly higher than (85.2±1.2)% in control group (t=-10.95, P<0.05). Seven days after the operation, compared with those in control group, the number of new microvessels in the skin tissue in the choke zone Ⅱ of the flaps in rats of electroacupuncture stimulation group increased significantly. The microvessel density in the skin tissue in the choke zone Ⅱ of the flaps in rats of electroacupuncture stimulation group was (21.4±3.0) vessels/mm², which was significantly higher than (11.5±3.7) vessels/mm² in control group (t=-7.34, P<0.05). Seven days after the operation, compared with those in control group, the expression of VEGF in the vascular area of the skin tissue in the choke zone Ⅱ of the flaps in rats of electroacupuncture stimulation group was significantly increased, and the protein expression of VEG

Chronic wounds refer to wounds that fail to achieve complete structural repair within the expected time frame despite standardized systemic treatment, which are characterized by high incidence, complex mechanisms, prolonged clinical course, and difficulty in treatment. Topical growth factor drugs or biological agents, which regulate cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, thereby effectively promoting the wound healing process, are widely used in the repair of various acute and chronic wounds. However, there is still some controversy over the application of topical growth factors in the clinical practice of treating various chronic wounds. Chinese Burn Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Burns and Wounds jointly initiated and organized a multidisciplinary expert group. Based on current evidence-based medical evidence, clinical practice, and authoritative guidelines from other disciplines, this clinical expert consensus was developed for further standardization of the application of topical growth factors in the clinical treatment of chronic wounds.

After craniotomy, the surgical site is prone to develop refractory wounds, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life and significantly increases the medical cost. Clinical studies indicate that the pathogenic factors of such wounds are extremely diverse, their formation mechanism is complex, and their clinical treatment is extremely difficult. In this paper, iceberg analysis is applied to the diagnosis and treatment of refractory wounds after craniotomy. Based on domestic and international literature and clinical practice, combined with preoperative image examination results and intraoperative exploration findings, we provided an in-depth discussion on the causes of wound formation, comprehensively analyzed the pathogenic factors affecting wound healing, and shared the clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in this aspect. Based on the iceberg theory, we propose precise debridement measures and targeted effective repair strategies for this type of refractory wounds.

<p><p><b>Objective:</b> To investigate the repair methods for refractory head wounds involving intracranial structures and their clinical effectiveness. <b>Methods:</b> This study was a retrospective observational study. From September 2020 to July 2024, 68 patients with refractory head wounds involving intracranial structures who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (hereinafter referred to as our hospital) and were co-managed with neurosurgeons from our hospital. Among them, 38 were male and 30 were female, aged 1 to 76 years. Based on the causes of difficult wound healing, the refractory head wounds involving intracranial structures were classified into 5 categories: simple tissue defect wounds, simple infectious wounds, implant-related wounds, wounds communicating with paranasal sinuses, and radiation-damaged wounds. Corresponding management plans were adopted according to the wound condition. After wound bed preparation was completed, according to factors such as wound location, size, blood supply condition, need for soft tissue filling, and the patient's general condition, and also following the principle of minimizing damage, patients with no obvious scalp soft tissue defect were sutured directly. For patients with large defects that could not be sutured directly (with wound area of 8 cm×3 cm to 28 cm×13 cm), the most suitable tissue flaps (including pedicled scalp flaps and free tissue flaps) were designed to repair the wounds. The donor site wounds of scalp flaps were directly sutured or repaired by full-thickness skin grafting and the donor site wounds of free tissue flaps were directly sutured. Before surgery, the types of refractory wounds and the microbial culture results of wound exudate specimens were recorded. During surgery, the wound repair methods, types of free tissue flaps, recipient vessels, and vascular anastomosis methods between donor and recipient sites were recorded. After surgery, the recovery of the head wounds and the tissue flap donor sites was observed. The recipient site appearance, blood supply, wound recurrence, and subsequent management were followed up. <b>Results:</b> Among 68 patients, 2 cases had simple tissue defect wounds, 15 cases had simple infectious wounds, 43 cases had implant-related wounds, 4 cases had wounds communicating with paranasal sinuses, and 4 cases had radiation-damaged wounds. Before surgery, the microbial culture results of wound exudate specimens were positive in 28 cases.

<p><p><b>Objective:</b> To explore the influence and mechanism of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs), i. e. hDPC-EVs on skin fibrosis in mice. <b>Methods:</b> This study was an experimental research. One hundred discarded hair follicle units from 2 male patients aged 25 years and 40 years who underwent hair transplantation surgery at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University in September 2024 were collected, and primary hDPCs were extracted and successfully identified. After hDPCs of passage 3 to 5 were taken and cultured, the hDPC-EVs were extracted and successfully identified. The expression of microRNA-182-5p (miRNA-182-5p) in hDPCs and hDPC-EVs was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR, <i>n</i>=4). Thirty 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were taken and injected intradermal bleomycin for 4 weeks to establish mouse skin fibrosis models. Six mice after modeling were selected according to the random number table method (the same grouping method applied hereafter), and another 6 healthy untreated 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were taken. The protein expression of transforming growth factor β<sub>1</sub> (TGF-β<sub>1</sub>) in normal skin tissue and fibrotic skin tissue of mice was detected by Western blotting (<i>n</i>=3). The remaining 24 mice after modeling were divided into phosphate buffered solution (PBS)+miRNA mimic control group, EV+miRNA mimic control group, EV+miRNA inhibitor group, and miRNA mimic group (<i>n</i>=6). Two weeks after injection of the reagents corresponding to the group names, the protein expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type Ⅰ collagen in fibrotic skin tissue was detected by Western blotting (<i>n</i>=3), and the expression of miRNA-182-5p and the mRNA expression of TGF-β<sub>1</sub> in fibrotic skin tissue was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR (<i>n</i>=4). Human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) were taken and divided into miRNA-182-5p mimic+wild-type TGF-β<sub>1</sub> group, miRNA-182-5p control+wild-type TGF-β<sub>1</sub> group, miRNA-182-5p mimic+mutant-type TGF-β<sub>1</sub> group, and miRNA-182-5p control+mutant-type TGF-β<sub>1</sub> group. Cells in each group were transfected with the corresponding plasmids and cultured for 36 h.

<p><p><b>Objective:</b> To investigate the misdiagnosis causes and treatment strategies for burns combined with alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). <b>Methods:</b> This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2014 to December 2023, 334 male burn patients aged 29-90 (53±11) years and combined with alcohol dependence were admitted to the PLA Burn Center of the 990<sup>th</sup> Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force. Patients were divided into AWS group (29 cases) and non-AWS group (305 cases) based on whether AWS developed or not. The misdiagnosis causes and treatment outcomes of AWS of patients in AWS group were analyzed. The total burn surface area, full-thickness burn area, burn index, hospitalization day, and mortality were compared between patients in the two groups. The 334 patients were further stratified by burn severity into mild-moderate burn patients (306 cases), severe burn patients (11 cases), and critically severe burn patients (17 cases), and the correlation between AWS incidence and burn severity in patients with burns combined with alcohol dependence was analyzed. <b>Results:</b> The misdiagnosis causes of AWS in AWS group of patients were primarily insufficient clinician awareness of AWS (48.3%, 14/29) and then overlapping symptoms between AWS and burn-related complications, such as shock, electrolyte imbalance, stress-induced mental disorders, and epilepsy (51.7%, 15/29), which influenced judgement of the clinicians. After active treatment, the AWS symptoms alleviated obviously or disappeared in 27 patients, while 2 patients died of multiple organ failure.

Wound healing is a complex biological process involving multiple stages, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), as an efficient, non-invasive, and innovative therapy for wound care, has significant application prospects in this field. It has been demonstrated that CAP can promote wound cell proliferation and reduce microbial load on wounds through various mechanisms. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent domestic and international literature on the biological effects of CAP, this paper reviews how CAP promotes the repair of acute and chronic wounds from the perspectives of mechanism and clinical application and the research progress in the application methods of CAP in recent years.
