Abstract

Objective: To study the effects of hydrotherapy with traditional Chinese medicine combined with magnetotherapy on treatment of scars after healing of deep partial-thickness burn wounds in children. Methods: Forty-eight children with scars after healing of deep partial-thickness burn wounds admitted to the Burn Department of Air Force General Hospital from January to December in 2016 met the criteria for inclusion in this study, and their medical records were analyzed retrospectively. Within one month after the wound was completely healed, 24 children were treated with silicone cream for 2 times per day and wore elastic sleeves all day long according to the wishes of the children and their families, and they were enrolled in routine treatment group. The other 24 children were treated by hydrotherapy with traditional Chinese medicine Fuchunsan No. 2 once every 2 days for 30 min each time on the basis of treatment methods of routine treatment group, plus magnetotherapy using pulse magnetotherapy apparatus in the morning and evening of each day for 30-60 min each time, and they were enrolled in hydrotherapy+ magnetotherapy group. Before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment, the Vancouver Scar Scale was used to assess the scar con...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
