  • This study was conducted to investigate an effect of Mori Cortex in the cardiac injury following dermal scald burn in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were induced scald bum (15% of total body surface area). Heart was removed at 5 h postburn and examined with biochemical assay, ultrastructural observations and stereological analysis. The activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine was increased at 5 h postburn compared with them of control. Administration of heat extracts of Mori Cortex after scald burn inhibited the production of KC (neutrophil chemoattractant cytokine) and increased the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) in heart tissue. The activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in heart tissue was decreased both at 5 h postburn and in case of Mori Cortex administration after scald burn. Ultrastructurally, many contraction bands and separation of intercalated disk induced by scald burn were decreased by administration of heat extracts of Mori Cortex. In stereological analysis, administration of Mori Cortex after scald burn resulted the volume densities of myofibril and mitochondria were increased compared with them of burn control. These data suggest that Mori Cortex may be a useful stuff to the range of available treatments for cardiac injury induced by skin burn.

  • The present study was conducted to determine whether skin spread of Myrrha and Tending Diancibo Pu (TDP) irradiation have a remarkable effect on the cell regeneration as well as wound healing following dermal scald burn injury. Burn injury was induced on dorsal surface $(TBSA\;15\~20\%)$ by scald burn in rats. Postburn concentration of serum protein was significantly decreased compared with sham-treated, double treatment with Myrrha and TDP was significantly increased the protein concentration compared with that of burn control. The content of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) at 48 h is higher than that of at 24 h, and double treatment with Myrrha and TDP was the most effective to increase the production of KGF in all experimental groups. Morphologically, epithelial regeneration and dermal collagen synthesis by fibroblasts were accelerated in Myrrha and TDP treated group compared with bum control at same time postburn. At 48 h after burn, all dermal connective tissues are recovered to new collagen fibers in case of Myrrha and TDP double treated group. The data suggest that double treatment with skin spread of Myrrha and TDP radiation have a remarkable effect of to accelerate cell regeneration and wound healing in case of scald burn skin.

  • The present study was conducted to determine whether administration of heat extract of Lepidii Semen has an inhibitory effect on neutrophil-derived oxidative injury following dermal scald burn in rats. Acute lung injury was induced by scald burn (15% of TBSA) in rats. To identify acute edematous lung injury, protein concentrations and numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at 5 h after skin burn. In addition, the level of lung KC (neutrophil chemoattractant cytokine) and activity of lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured, and histopathological changes were observed as well. Lung weight and concentration of BAL protein, the index of lung injury, were clearly increased at 5 h postburn compared with those of sham-operated group. Administration of heat extract of Lepidii Semen after scald burn inhibited the production of KC in lung tissue and decreased the activity of lung MPO related to infiltration of neutrophils. In histopathological changes in lung tissue, infiltration of inflammatory cells and pulmonary edema induced by skin burn were decreased by administration of heat extract of Lepidii Semen after scald burn. These results suggest that Lepidii Semen may be an effective medical stuff for acute lung injury induced by skin burn.

  • Background and Objectives For experiments on simulated burn, the preparation of an animal model is a very important step. The purpose of the current experiment is to design a simple and controllable method for the preparation of third-degree scald in a mouse model using the boiling water method. Materials and Methods A total of 18 Swiss mice were used. After the anesthetization, the mice were scalded by boiling water (100℃) using a mold with a 1 cm2 circle area on the dorsum at contact times of 3s, 5s, and 8s. After confirming that 8 seconds of scald can cause a third-degree scald, the skin samples were collected at day 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, and analyzed by histopathological examinations. The wound retraction index (WRI) was also measured. Results Third-degree scald involving full-thickness skin was observed in the 8-second scald group, while a 3-second scald caused a superficial second-degree scald and a 5-second scald caused a deep second-degree scald. After third-degree scald, the burn wound continued to contract until day 14. Conclusion The scalding model of mice can be successfully established by the boiling water method. This method is easy to operate, it has a low cost, and it can control the scald depth by controlling the scald time. This is adequate to study skin thermal injury in the future. The scald model established by this method can last for 14 days.

  • The present study was conducted to determine whether local production of neutrophil chemoattractant cytokines preceded the influx of neutrophils 1311owing dermal scald burn injury. In order to inhibit the influx of neutrophils, we induced scald burn injury on dorsal skin of rats (TBSA 15%) and spread Rhubarb (R. undulatum L.) and complex (Rhubarb+Olibanum+Myrrha) on scald skin in rats. 1. Levels of dermal KC, the indicator of skin iuflammation, caused by burn gradually increased 5 hours, 24 hours (p<0.001) and 72 hours (p<0.001) after the burn occurred. After 24 hours it occurs, KC in skin was decreased by both skin spread of Rhubarb (p<0.05) and complex (p<0.05) compared to scald bum group. After 72 hours, KC by skin sp.end of Rhubarb and complex was significantly decreased (p<0.01), and the inhibition effect of KC production by complex is higher than by Rhubarb. 2. KC content in serum was increased (p<0.01) at 24 hours after burn injury and comes down back to the normal level after 72 hours. At 24 hours postbunt both Rhubarb (p<0.05) and complex (p<0.01) skin spread decreased KC in serum. The inhibition effect of KC production by complex skin spread group is higher than by Rhubarb skin spread group. The data suggest that the KC production effects by Rhubarb skin spread group and complex skin spread group are high. Especially the endurance of the effect by complex skin spread group was longer than by Rhubarb skin spread group. The inhibition effect of KC production by complex skin spread group increases more than by Rhubarb skin spread group as time passes.

  • 화상에 의한 피부 손상이 간에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 흰쥐를 이용하여 피부 화상을 유도한 다음 각각 5시간, 24시간 후 생화학적 정량법과 형태학적 관찰을 통해 간 조직 손상의 발병기전을 검토해 보고자 하였다. 흰쥐의 화상 유발은 등쪽면의 털을 깎고(total burn surface area $20\sim25%$) $100^{\circ}C$ 물로 10초간 흡입손상 없이 피부 화상만을 가하였다. 생화학적 정량으로는 혈청 내 xanthine oxidase(XO)와 aniline aminotransferase (ALT)의 활성변화, 그리고 혈장 단백질 함량 변화를 측정하였고, 형태학적 관찰은 혈액 중 다형핵 백혈구 수의 산정과 간 세포의 미세구조 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 화상 후 혈청 내 XO의 활성 증가(P<0.01)와 함께 체중 당 간 무게(p<0.05)와 혈청 내 ALT의 활성이 증가되었다. 화상 직후 allopurinol의 복강투여로 XO활성, 간 무게, 그리고 ALT의 활성은 모두 감소되었다. 화상 손상에 의한 간 조직의 미세구조적 변화로는 소포체 종창, 리보솜 탈락, 지방소적의 축적, 그리고 담모세관과 세포간질의 확장이 관찰되었다. 뿐만 아니라 염증세포인 호중구의 침윤과 함께 혈관 내피세포의 손상, 쿠퍼세포의 활성화, 그리고 미세융모의 손상들이 관찰되었다. 또한 혈 중 다형핵 백혈구의 수적인 변화에서 화상 유발 5시간 후에 현저히 감소되어 내부 장기에 호중구 침윤의 가능성을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 allopurinol의 투여로 이러한 미세구조의 변화를 예방할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, 피부 화상으로부터 간 손상을 유발하는데 있어서 혈 중 XO의 활성증가가 매우 핵심적인 역할을 담당하는 것으로 사료되었다.

  • To investigate an effect of bum on the cardiac function, we studied some biochemical assay, ultrastructural changes and stereological analysis in heart tissue. Sprague-Dawley rats were induced a 15% total body surface area scald burn. 5 and 24 hours later, the heart was excised. Burned rats showed the decrease of heart weight per body weight (%) compared with control. The activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase was significantly increased at 5 (p<0.001) and 24 hours (p<0.01) after burn compared with control. And the activity of serum LDH was decreased at 5 hours after burn but increased at 24 hours compared with control. Ultrastructurally, enlargement of interstitium and destruction of sarcolemma were observed at 5 and 24 hours after burn. Especially at 5 hours postburn, hypercontraction band was noted and at 24 hours, wavy fiber and muscle fraying were noted. In stereological changes, volume density of mitochondria and myofibril was significantly decreased at postburn 5 and 24 hours. But volume density of sarcoplasmic reticulum was significantly increased at postburn 5 hours. Our data suggest that dermal scald bum causes myocardial dysfunction.

  • In order to investigate a pathogenesis of liver damage induced by skin burn, thermal injury was induced by scald burn on entirely dorsal surface in rats (total body surface area 30%) except for inhalated injury. At 5 and 24 h after scald bum, biochemical assay and morphological changes in skin tissue, serum and liver tissue were examined. The effects of bum injury on the levels of glutathione, lipid peroxide and on the activities of oxygen free radical generating and scavenging enzymes have been determined in association with observing of histologic and ultrastructural changes, measuring the protein concentration in plasma, and counting the number of intravascular polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The activity of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme of oxygen free radical generating system. was elevated (p<0.01) in serum, but not in skin and in liver tissue. Futhermore, thermal injury decreased not only the protein concentration in plasma but also the number of leukocytes, that indicates induction of edema formation with protein exudation and inflammation by neutrophil infiltration into the internal organs. These data suggest that acute dermal scald burn injury leads to liver damage, that is related to elevation of xanthine oxidase activity in serum. Xanthine oxidase may be a key role in the pathogenesis of liver damage induced by skin burn.
