The Effects of Some Locally Applied Medications on the Healing of Second Degree Burns (open access)

The Effects of Some Locally Applied Medications on the Healing of Second Degree Burns

The possibility of evaluating experimentally the effects of locally applied medications on the rate of burn healing was explored. Twenty or 24 small burns were produced on each of eight anesthelized Chester White pigs by an exposure of 10 calories per square centimeter delivered ln 3 seconds. In earlier studies it had been found that lesions from this exposure are moderate second degree burns which, if untreated, are completelly covered wiih new epithelium in 14 days. Nine days after injury, less than half of them exhibit this degree of healing. The five medicated ointments tested were applied to randomized burns once a day for five days. After four days without treatment, the burns were biopsied. The degree of epithelial coverage was evaluated microscopically, and the results in treated and untreated areas were compared. None of the medications significantly promoted or delayed epithelial regeneration. Variations in healing rate from one animal to another and in different anatomical locations on the same animal were noted. These findings should affect the design of any experiment to determine the effects of treatment on healing. (auth)

Metallograhy of irradiated UO$sub 2$-containing fuel elements (open access)

Metallograhy of irradiated UO$sub 2$-containing fuel elements

A description of hot laboratory metallography and techniques of operation are presented. These facilities and techniques provided a means of examining fuel elements that contain UO/sub 2/ after irradiation to high burnups. Some unusual irradiation characteristics of UO/sub 2/ were observed, and each effect is discussed. A complete explanation of the causes of such effects has not yet been obtained. (auth)
