Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Composition of Blood Plasma01:24

Composition of Blood Plasma

8.5K
Blood plasma is a fluid that contains approximately 92% water and 8% solutes. The solutes include various types of proteins, which constitute about 7% of the total solutes in the plasma. The high-molecular-weight proteins—albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen—are essential to plasma function. Albumins, making up about 60% of the plasma proteins, maintain the osmotic balance within blood vessels by preventing excessive water leakage. Additionally, albumins serve as carrier proteins,...

Enlargement of the Plasma Membrane

2.4K
Cell division and enlargement are processes that require precise control. The control ensures that cell division cannot proceed unless the cell has grown to a specific size. A spherical, dividing cell requires an approximately 1.6X increase in its surface area to double its volume. The secretory pathway also has a significant role in cell membrane enlargement. Secretory vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus and later fuse with the plasma membrane during exocytosis are a major source of...

Plasma Membrane in Bacteria and Archaea

1.8K
The plasma membrane is an essential cellular structure responsible for maintaining cellular integrity and regulating the selective transport of molecules. While bacteria and archaea share the fundamental function of plasma membranes, their structural and molecular differences reflect adaptations to distinct ecological and physiological challenges.Bacterial Plasma MembranesBacterial plasma membranes are predominantly composed of phospholipids with fatty acid chains ester-linked to a glycerol...

Drug Distribution: Plasma Protein Binding01:29

Drug Distribution: Plasma Protein Binding

8.8K
Drugs predominantly attach to plasma proteins, with only a small percentage remaining unbound. The unbound portion can be calculated as one minus the bound fraction. Acidic drugs form large, inactive complexes by reversibly binding to plasma albumin, which prevents them from diffusing across biological barriers. These drug-protein complexes act as reservoirs for the drugs. As the concentration of unbound drugs decreases, these complexes quickly dissociate to release the free drug, maintaining...

Protein Buffers in Blood Plasma and Cells01:20

Protein Buffers in Blood Plasma and Cells

3.8K
The human body utilizes protein buffer systems to maintain a stable pH. These systems capitalize on the dual role of amino acids, which can act as acids or bases by accepting or releasing hydrogen ions in response to pH changes. Protein buffer systems are particularly significant in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) of active cells, where structural and functional proteins provide substantial buffering capacity.
Certain amino acids can exist in a zwitterion state at a...

Summary

Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) reduces vascular leakage after large burns, unlike albumin. This study investigated burn shock, endothelial glycocalyx damage, and syndecan-1 (SDC-1) shedding in rats.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Trauma and injury science
  • Inflammation and immunology

Background:

  • Burn shock involves complex inflammatory responses and endothelial glycocalyx disruption.
  • Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) shedding indicates endothelial dysfunction following injury.
  • Resuscitative interventions may mitigate these systemic effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of different resuscitation protocols on vascular permeability and SDC-1 shedding after burn injury.
  • To compare the effects of Lactated Ringer's (LR) alone, LR with fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and LR with albumin in a rat burn model.

Main Methods:

  • Induction of small, medium, and large burns in Sprague-Dawley rats.
  • Administration of LR, LR+FFP, or LR+albumin resuscitation protocols.
  • Quantification of plasma SDC-1, lung vascular permeability using Evan's Blue Dye (EBD), and lung SDC-1 expression.

Main Results:

  • Vascular permeability, measured by EBD extraction, increased with burn severity.
  • FFP significantly reduced EBD extraction in large burns compared to LR alone; albumin had no significant effect.
  • Plasma SDC-1 levels increased with burn severity, correlating with injury across all resuscitation groups.

Conclusions:

  • FFP administration reduces post-burn vascular leakage in large burns, while albumin does not.
  • Colloid administration did not alter SDC-1 shedding as measured in plasma.
  • Further research is needed to understand glycocalyx repair mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.
