Current Thoughts on the Assessment of Protein Metabolism in Humans

An understanding of protein metabolism is crucial in increasing knowledge about wound healing and functional recovery after burns. Recent advances in the clinical study of protein metabolism were addressed at a conference sponsored by the Shriners Burns Institute that took place March 7 to 8, 1990. New methods of clinical study of protein metabolism involving various isotopic labeling techniques were discussed. Conference participants concluded that advances in quantitation techniques and modeling approaches promise a better understanding of human protein metabolism, but also thought that current techniques still have limitations.

Ibuprofen in Acute-Care Therapy

Ibuprofen is a potent cyclooxygenase inhibitor known to reduce the production of arachidonic acid metabolites. Prostacyclin and thromboxane are well-studied metabolites that play a prominent role in inflammation. Many of the effects of ibuprofen can be linked to its anti-inflammatory properties. Beneficial results from ibuprofen therapy have been documented, and more widespread use of the drug seems indicated. Conditions ranging from immunologic response to trauma and sepsis to postburn lung dysfunction to wound edema are improved by the use of ibuprofen. The fact that ibuprofen is effective in the various conditions detailed above, while other steroidal and nonsteroidal drugs are effective only in selective instances, increases the value of ibuprofen. Other properties of the drug, aside from its anti-inflammatory effects, are not as well studied and not as well known. Their importance, however, should not be overlooked. Superoxide radical tissue injury may be very important in acute injury and this phenomenon needs further study. In several studies ibuprofen has been shown to antagonize this type of injury. Similarly fibrinolysis inhibition is known to occur in burn wounds, but its role in other injuries is unknown. The antagonism of this inhibitor by ibuprofen maintains vascular patency. The clinical use of ibuprofen will increase as research further elucidates the mechanisms of tissue injury in acute situations and the many and varied mechanisms of action of ibuprofen.

Longitudinal assessment of breast development in adolescent female patients with burns involving the nipple-areolar complex.

Long-term follow-up of breast development in adolescent female patients with burns of the anterior chest wall is poorly documented. Between 1971 and 1976, 28 female patients with photographic documentation of burns to the anterior chest wall involving the nipple-areolar complex were reviewed. All patients were followed at least until their early teens. The mean age at the time of thermal injury was 5.9 +/- 2.5 years, with a mean follow-up time of 8.9 +/- 2.6 years. Thirteen patients (46 percent) were admitted to the Shriners Burns Institute in Galveston for acute care of their burns. Fifteen patients (54 percent) were referred for long-term follow-up or specific reconstructive procedures following care of the acute burns. In spite of significant thermal injury to the anterior chest wall with involvement of the nipple-areolar complex, no patient failed to develop breasts. Twenty patients (71 percent) required releases of the anterior chest wall to assist breast development. All anterior chest wall releases were accomplished with the use of skin grafts or local skin flaps.

Complications of controlled tissue expansion in the pediatric burn patient.

All patients at the Burn Institute reconstructed with tissue expanders between June of 1984 and June of 1987 were included in this review. There were 122 expanders used in 77 patients. Complications were defined as "absolute" (23 of 122 expanders, 20 percent) if they resulted in loss of expanders or additional surgery or none of preoperative plan was satisfied or "relative" (14 of 122 expanders, 11 percent) if they included spotty alopecia or alopecia greater than 50 percent or the operative plan only partially satisfied, reflecting poor judgment. The most common absolute complication was prosthetic exposure secondary to wound dehiscence occurring in the scalp area. Complications relative to specific anatomic areas were neck and face, 2 of 20 (10 percent); lower extremity, 1 of 4 (25 percent); trunk, 0 of 6 (0 percent); and scalp, 20 of 92 (22 percent). We feel that this high complication rate in the use of tissue expanders may be unique to the pediatric burn patient. Knowledge of indications for use and potential complications is essential to add this entity to the armamentarium of the burn reconstructive surgeon.
