[A review of 50 years investigation on burn pathology in China and its prospect].
A great achievement has been made on burn pathology research in China since 1958. These advances include: pathological changes in burn wound, the healing process of burn wound and its mechanism modulated by growth factors especially bFGF, intermingled transplantation of allo-skin or xeno-skin with auto-skin for coverage of extensive third degree burns, characteristic postburn inflammatory reaction, pathological changes and evolution in various internal organs, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), pathological changes in phosphorus burn, pathological changes in endotoxemia in burn, the role of vascular endothelial cell in pathogenesis of postburn visceral organ dysfunction as well as steam and smoke inhalation injury.
