Impaction of the polylactic membrane or hydrofiber with silver dressings on the interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-b3 levels in the blood and tissues of pediatric patients with burns. Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 27(1), 122-131.DOI: 10.14744/tjtes.2020.30483https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12899/595BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the effects of two different burn dressings, hydrofiber with a silver (HFAg) and polylactic membrane (PLM), on altering the levels of important biomarkers Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), Transforming growth factor-?3 (TGF-?3 ) in blood and burnt tissue in children with second-degree burns. METHODS: Children between the ages of one to 16 years, with 25–50% second-degree partial-thickness burns of the total body surface area were included in this study. Patients in the PLM group were dressed with PLM in a typical way according to the manual. The HFAg group was dressed with HFAg and a sterile cover. During and at the end of the 21-day treatment, blood and skin tissue samples were taken from the two burn and control groups. IL-6, TNF-?, and TGF-? ?3 levels were evaluated in blood and tissue samples from all groups, and the results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: In the PLM group, IL-6 and TNF-? levels decreased early days in both serum and tissue samples to reach normal ranges compared with the HFAg group. In the PLM group, TGF-?3 levels were elevated than in other groups for two weeks. CONCLUSION: In this study, we found that PLM controls inflammation earlier in both systemic and burn tissue. We also found that PLM increased the level of TGF-?3 , which may be associated with the prevention of the development of hypertrophic scar in the burn wound, in the blood and burn tissue during this studyeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBurnschildrendressingIL-6hydrofiber with silverpolylactic membraneTNF-α TGF-bImpaction of the polylactic membrane or hydrofiber with silver dressings on the interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-b3 levels in the blood and tissues of pediatric patients with burnsArticle10.14744/tjtes.2020.30483271122131333944852-s2.0-85099428890WOS:000604992400021Q4
