[Therapeutic effect of liposome on II degree burn wound].
OBJECTIVE
To study the therapeutic effect of Suyuping in which liposome is the main constituent on II degree burn wound.


METHODS
From October 1998 to October 1999, 42 cases with II degree burn wound were adopted in this study. Among them, there were 30 males and 12 females, the average wound area was (23.4 +/- 9.7)%. The wounds on the left side of body were managed with sulfadiazine argentum(SD-Ag) while that on the right side with Suyuping. Healing and other situation about the burn wounds were observed and recorded at times.


RESULTS
Forty-two patients completely healed when discharged from hospital. The average wound area managed with Suyuping was (11.2 +/- 7.3)% and the area with SD-Ag was (9.4 +/- 5.8)%. The mean healing time of Suyuping group was(18.4 +/- 4.7) days while that of SD-Ag was (23.5 +/- 7.9) days, there was significant difference(P < 0.05). Suyuping group presented few wound pain, allergy, bleeding and the side effect was less.


CONCLUSIONS
Suyuping can accelerate wound healing and attenuate wound pain, allergy and bleeding, it is a potential and specific topical agent for treating II degree burn wound.
