METHODS Three models were developed in rats:① gut ischemia/ reperfusion obtained by one hour of superior mesenteric artery occlusion followed by reperfusion;② severe burn injury created by 30% of total body surface area(TBSA)full-thickness scald burn;and ③ ANP induced by continuous inverse infusion of sodium taurocholate and trypsin into main pancreatic duct. Plasma levels of D(-)-lactate in systemic circulation and LPS in portal circulation were measured by enzymatic- spectrophotometric method and limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL)test kit,respectively.Tissue samples of intestine were taken for histological analysis. RESULTS One hour gut ischemia followed by reperfusion injuries resulted in a significant elevation in plasma D(-)- lactate and LPS levels,and there was a significant correlation between the plasma D(-)-lactate and LPS(r =0.719,P<0.05).The plasma concentrations of D(-)- lactate and LPS increased significantly at 6h postburn, and there was also a remarkable correlation between them (r = 0.877,P < 0.01).D(-)-lactate and LPS levels elevated significantly at 2h after ANP,with a similar significant correlation between the two levels(r = 0.798, P < 0.01 ).The desquamation of intestine villi and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria were observed in all groups. CONCLUSION The changes of plasma D(-)-lactate levels in systemic blood paralleled with LPS levels in the portal vein blood.The measurement of plasma D(-)-lactate level may be a useful marker to assess the intestinal injury and to monitor an increase of intestinal permeability and endotoxemia following severe injuries in early stage.展开更多

He established one of the Chinese earliest special departments for burns at Third Military Medical University (TMMU) in 1958. To memorialize Professor Li Ao on his 100th birthday in 2017 and introduce our extensive experience, it is our honor to briefly review the development and achievement of the Chinese burn medicine from TMMU. The epidemiology and outcomes of admitted burn patients since 1958 were reviewed. Furthermore, main achievements of basic and clinical research for the past roughly 60 years were presented. These achievements mainly included the Chinese Rule of Nine, fluid resuscitation protocol, experience in inhalation injury, wound treatment strategies, prevention and treatment of burn infections, nutrition therapy, organ support therapies, and rehabilitation. The progress shaped and enriched modern Chinese burn medicine and promoted the development of world burn medicine.展开更多
