“…Burn injuries, one of the most common accidental injuries, affect numerous individuals annually, and wound infections are becoming prevalent and serious complications. [ 32 ] MRSA and P. aeruginosa are the most common pathogens of infection. [ 33 ] This study further investigated the capabilities of WZK‐DPA‐Zn and WZK‐DPA‐Zn@Gel in a mixed bacteria‐infected scald model ( Figure a).…”

The emergence of drug‐resistant bacteria, particularly resistant strains of Gram‐negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, poses significant threat to public health. Although antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) is a promising strategy for combating drug‐resistant bacteria, actively targeted photosensitizers (PSs) remain unknown. In this study, a PS based on dipicolylamine (DPA), known as WZK‐DPA‐Zn, was designed for the selective identification of P. aeruginosa and drug‐resistant Gram‐positive bacteria. WZK‐DPA‐Zn exploited the synergistic effects of DPA‐Zn2+ coordination and cellular uptake, which could effectively anchor P. aeruginosa within a brief period (10 min) without interference from other Gram‐negative bacteria. Simultaneously, the cationic nature of WZK‐DPA‐Zn enhanced its interaction with Gram‐positive bacteria via electrostatic forces. Compared to traditional clinical antibiotics, WZK‐DPA‐Zn showed exceptional antibacterial activity without inducing drug resistance. This effectiveness was achieved using the APDT strategy when irradiated with white light or sunlight. The combination of WZK‐DPA‐Zn with Pluronic‐based thermosensitive hydrogel dressings (WZK‐DPA‐Zn@Gel) effectively eliminated mixed bacterial infections and accelerated wound healing, thereby achieving a synergistic effect where 1+1>2″. In summary, this study proposes a precise strategy employing DPA‐Zn as the targeting moiety of a PS, facilitating the rapid elimination of P. aeruginosa and drug‐resistant Gram‐positive bacteria using APDT.This article is protected by copyright.

“…38 Zhanzeng et al showed that burn centres in China suffer from the lack of nursing equipment, specialized burn treatment and surgical apparatuses, and the associated statistic is disappointing. 39 In the field of intellectual resources, inadequate burn education in the general medicine course and nursing, as well as the optional burn training during the internship make them unable to provide suitable burn care. The limited retraining and in-service training contribute to this problem as well although the required investment to train burn care is insufficient, confirming the findings of previous studies.…”

“…After a thorough review of the literature, we found that although the treatment of burn patients has evolved over past decades and the mortality and morbidity in burns survivors has decreased (Strassle et al, ), there is still a lack of consensus regarding the optimal design of burn care facilities and the necessary equipment (Haik et al, ; Lavedrine & Thomas, ; Vogt & Busche, ; Zhanzeng et al, ).…”

The opening of the National Burns Center (NBC) in Sheba Medical Center (SMC) in 2014 was a keystone point in the development of specialized burns trauma services for Israel to ensure burn care and disaster planning at international standards. The NBC is a purpose-built, level 1 burns trauma center that receives patients from Israel, Gaza, West Bank, and abroad. Hosting six intensive care and four step-down burns beds, the center serves as a referral center for patients in other health-care facilities with indication for hospitalization. In the present study, we describe the planning, design, and organization of the NBC at the SMC with reference to some of the key areas and considerations in its conception and development. With the improved survival rates of patients with extensive burns and the demographics and characteristics among burn-injury patients in Israel, the NBC has the capacity to be the center of excellence in burns care, teaching, and research within the Middle East.
