Abstract:
Eight cases with deep injuries as a result of electric contact burn were repaired with 8 pedicled thin skin flap successfully. The area of pedicled thin skin flap was from 6cm x 4cm to 12cm x 3cm. The pedicles of the flap were divided on 7-10 postoperative days after clamp training of the pedicles, and all the flaps survived. The cosmetic and functional results were all satisfactory. The operative method is described, and the mechanism of skin flap survival is discussed.

01:19Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own EpiSCs...
01:22Burn Injuries
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...
