Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized controlled trial of three burns dressings for partial thickness burns in children.
This study compared the effects of three silver dressing combinations on small to medium size acute partial thickness burns in children, focusing on re-epithelialization time, pain and distress during dressing changes. ⋯ Mepilex Ag™ is an effective silver dressing, in terms of accelerated wound re-epithelialization time (compared to Acticoat™ and Acticoat™ with Mepitel™) and decreased pain during dressing changes (compared to Acticoat™), for clean, < 10% TBSA partial thickness burns in children.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Study of the use of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor hydrogel externally to treat residual wounds of extensive deep partial-thickness burn.
The objective of this study was to observe the clinical effects of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) hydrogel in the treatment of residual wounds of extensive deep partial-thickness burn. ⋯ rhGM-CSF hydrogel effectively promotes the healing process of residual wounds of extensive deep partial-thickness burns. The hydrogel removed most of the bacteria or inhibited growth, and the local and general side reactions of the drug were mild during the study.
