摘要
Five children who suffered burns clinically regarded as full skin thickness loss were grafted with cultured allogeneic skin from newborn prepuce. The wounds had remained open and infected without healing for about 20 days before the patients were received in the burn unit. To avoid losing surviving deep epidermal cells the wounds were débrided but not deeply excised and, a few days before allografting, they were washed with isodine solution and sterile water, and treated with silvadene cream application. All children received 76 cultured allografts of about 60 cm2 each. After allografting, the wounds were epithelized in 7-10 days and the allogeneic grafted skin began desquamation suggesting that the allograft did not 'take' permanently but was replaced by the newly formed skin. On the other hand, since allografting is an adequate therapy to provide early temporary coverage in extensively burned patients, we developed conditions for banking cultured skin to make it available for immediate use. The conditions described allow banking of the cultured grafts for 15-20 days with retention of clonal growth ability similar to that of unstored epithelia. The results show that cultured epidermal cells obtained from human newborn foreskin, when used as allografts for coverage of full skin or deep partial skin thickness burns, allow rapid epithelization of the burn wounds. © 1990.
