摘要：目的探讨MEB0治疗手部深度烧伤的临床疗效。方法 2010年10月2013年10月于我院收治的手部深度烧伤患者中,随机抽取82例作为研究对象,并将其均分为2组,对照组采用磺胺嘧啶银,而试验组采用湿润烧伤膏,观察两组患者的临床疗效。结果经过治疗,试验组疼痛明显、创面加深、植皮、功能障碍及瘢痕发生率,均明显低于对照组（P<0.05）;治疗后,试验组创面感染率及愈合时间,均明显低于对照组（P<0.05）。结论 MEB0治疗手部深度烧伤临床疗效显著,感染率低、无明显疼痛、见效迅速且安全可靠,值得进一步推广应用。

摘要：Objective:Moist Exposed Burn Ointment(MEB0)has been initially popularized by the Beijing Chinese Burn Center as a topical burn oint- ment capable of providing the necessary moist environment for optimal wound healing without an overlying secondary cumbersome bulky and expensive dressing. Chinese traditional medicine(CTM)is quite different from the type of medicine and approach to disease as practiced in the west. Despite its empirically time proven practices and remedies,it is difficult,however,to accept CTM without adapting it to western ways of scientific analysis and documentation and many obstacles must be overcome before adopting it in a western style medical practice.Methods:Even though the effects of MEBO have been well described in the Chinese literature,the ointment had to be sub- jected to our ways of scientific analysis and documentation before being adopted.Sev- eral clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate the effect of MEB0 on primary healing of surgically repaired cutaneous wounds and on secondary healing of split thickness skin graft donor sites. Its effect on scar quality following both primary and secondary healing was also elucidated.Wound healing cytokine modulation by MEBO was investigated experimentally using the rabbit burn model.Results:Split thickness skin graft donor site wounds treated by the moisture retentive ointment had faster re- epithelialization rate than conventionally treated wounds with Sofra-Tulle or with oc- clusive Tegaderm dressings and were markedly less hyperemic and pigmented. Final cosmetic appearance as documented photographically,as well as patient's satisfaction and preference were much superior for the MEB0 treated wounds.It was demonstrated also that the ointment under investigation not only provided optimal and rapid re-epi- thelialization of partial thickness wounds but also resulted in faster functional cutaneous recovery as determined by TEWL(trans-epidermal water loss)measurements.It re- suited also in better quality healing as evidenced by lack of epidermal sliding.The ex- perimental study demonstrated that the multitude of inflammatory cells,growth factors and cytokines present in the wound bed are positively modulated by topical application of MEBO with characteristic temporal and spatial regulation and changes in the expres- sion pattern.Conclusion:Despite the fundamental differences between CTM and west- ern style medicine,it is wrong to totally disregard CTM only because some of its ingre- dients are unknown to our pharmacopea or because the complex nature of the Chinese medicinal preparations preclude isolation of the various constituents for exact toxicologi- cal and pharmacological investigation either separately or in combination with each oth- er.Our studies have clearly demonstrated the beneficial effects of MEBO on wound healing and scar quality.This effect is not merely due to moisture retention but rather to a fundamental basic modulation of wound healing kinetics.Furthermore,the experi- mental study has proven that wound healing modulation could be achieved by simple ointment application without the need of sophisticated and expensive high-tech mo- dalities such as cytokine and gene therapies.
