Objective:
Severe trauma or massive deep burn can cause significant immunosuppression associated with sepsis and multiple organ failure. Dendritic cell (DC), as the professional antigen presenting cells and activating factor of immune response, plays an extraordinary role in initiating and regulating congenital and adaptive immune response. The quantity, functional changes, relevant molecular mechanisms and reverse measures of DC after trauma/burn were reviewed in order to intensively study the changes of DC after trauma/burn and provide a reference for exploring effective intervention measures for trauma/burn.

Burn Injuries
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...
