Regulation of MAPK activation, AP-1 transcription factor expression and keratinocyte differentiation in wounded fetal skin

Fetal epithelium retains the ability to re-epithelialize a wound in organotypic culture in a manner not dependent on the presence of underlying dermal substrata. This capacity is lost late in the third trimester of gestation or after embryonic day 17 (E-17) in the rat such that embryonic day 19 (E-19) wounds do not re-epithelialize. Moreover, wounds created in E-17 fetuses in utero heal in a regenerative, scar-free fashion. To investigate the molecular events regulating re-epithelialization in fetal skin, the wound-induced expression profile and tissue localization of activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factors c-Fos and c-Jun was characterised in E-17 and E-19 skin using organotypic fetal cultures. The involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in mediating wound-induced transcription factor expression and wound re-epithelialization was assessed, with the effect of wounding on the expression of keratinocyte differentiation markers determined. Our results show that expression of AP-1 transcription factors was induced immediately by wounding and localized predominantly to the epidermis in E-17 and E-19 skin. c-fos and c-jun induction was transient in E-17 skin with MAPK-dependent c-fos expression necessary for the re-epithelialization of an excisional wound in organotypic culture. In E-19 skin, AP-11 expression persisted beyond 12 h post-wounding, and marked upregulation of the keratinocyte differentiation markers keratin 10 and loricrin was observed. No such changes in the expression of keratin 10 or loricrin occurred in E-17 skin. These findings indicate that re-epithelialization in fetal skin is regulated by wound-induced AP-1 transcription factor expression via MAPK and the differentiation status of keratinocytes.

Treatment of partial-thickness burns: A prospective, randomized trial using Transcyte (TM)

Background: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of three burns dressings (TransCyte, a bio-engineered skin substitute; Biobrane; and Silvazine cream (silver sulphadiazine and 0.2% chlorhexidine)), in treating children with partial-thickness burns. The primary objective was to determine the days until greater than or equal to90% re-epithelialization. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the number of wounds requiring autografting and the number of dressing changes/local wound care required. Methods: Study wounds were identified on each patient and the patients were randomized to receive TransCyte or Biobrane or Silvazine. Assessment of study wound closure began at 2 days after treatment and continued at least every other day thereafter until the wounds re-epithelialized or were autografted. A laser Doppler imaging system was used as an adjunct to assessing the depth of the burn. Results: Thirty-three patients with 58 wound sites enrolled in the study (TransCyte, n = 20, Biobrane, n = 17; Silvazine, n = 21). Mean time to re-epithelialization was 7.5 days for TransCyte, 9.5 days for Biobrane, and 11.2 days for Silvazine. The number of wounds requiring autografting were 5/21 (24%) for Silvazine, 3/17 (17%) for Biobrane, and 1/20 (5%) for TransCyte. Conclusions: When used in partial-thickness burns in children, TransCyte promotes fastest re-epithelialization and required less overall dressings then Biobrane or Silvazine. Patients who received Silvazine or Biobrane require more autografting than those treated with TransCyte.

Community-based programmes to prevent pedestrian injuries in children 0-14 years: A systematic review

Community-based models for injury prevention have become an accepted part of the overall injury control strategy. This systematic review of the scientific literature examines the evidence for their effectiveness in reducing pedestrian injury in children 0-14 years of age. A comprehensive search of the literature was performed using the following study selection criteria: community-based intervention study; target population was children under 14 years; outcome measure is either pedestrian injury rates or observed child pedestrian or vehicle driver behaviour; and use of a community control or an historical control in the study design. Quality assessment and data abstraction was guided by a standardized procedure and performed independently by two authors. Data synthesis was in tabular and text form with meta-analysis not being possible due to the discrepancy in methods and measures between the studies.
