INVITATION ADDRESS
On the occasion of the release of genetic blueprint for
human beings in the world, it is our great pleasure to cordially invite
you to be present on the Press Release on "Achievements on Burn Treatment
by Skin Regeneration in China" scheduled at Baiyun Hall, Beijing Hotel
at 3:00pm on Monday, August 8, 2000.
The progress of medical science is going into a new era of a high speed
development on the basis of genetic blueprint in which a great anticipation
is directed to subsequent medical revolutionary achievements. The Press
Release is focused on a new medical system established by Professor Rongxiang
Xu and his team adopting cellular and molecular biological methods to
develop a unique technology to duplicate skin tissue via stem cell for
treating burns as well as on the successful clinical application of stem
cell in China.
It has been deemed all the time in the burn treatment circle that it
is an inevitable outcome for deep II degree burns to heal with scar formation
and there is no chance for III degree burns (full thickness derm burns)
to heal spontaneously with skin regeneration before the medical system
established. It is based on above thought that the burn doctors have no
choice but incise burned skin first that makes burn wounds turn into secondary
surgical trauma wound, and then to perform auto-grafting for the purpose
of life saving and wound closure. However, it is a medical tragedy the
burn circle is ashamed to face that burn patients suffer from serious
pain caused by the incision and grafting during the surgical treatment
and final result of disfigurement and disablement, and the survival rate
for extensive burns is very low. In the end of twentieth century, having
changed the train of thought, we have made a turn toward the directions
in burn treatment from above burn surgical treatment to treating burns
by skin regeneration developed by means of modern cellular and molecular
biological technologies. The Press Release will make it public of a new
medical system in which human stem cell is cultured in vivo to regenerate
skin for burn treatment. It is declared that burn treatment begins a new
era symbolized by skin regeneration developed by means of the technique
of cellular and molecular biology. Burn patients no longer suffer pains
and healed with scars resulted from surgical treatment. The survival rate
for the extensive burn patients with more than 90%TBSA reaches to 92%
without disablement.
It is an inevitable approach of achieving human organ clone to do the
research on human stem cell which was listed as the top of ten scientific
achievements in "SCIENCE" in December of 1999. In many countries it presently
remains in the process of designing and experimenting. However, in China
with a bilateral thought integrated Chinese with Western medicine, Professor
Rongxiang Xu, the academic leader in burn medicine in China, and his research
team have successfully established skin regeneration technique via stem
cell and have made successes in its application on burn victims with varied
burn areas, depth and causes. The clinical results showed that superficial
II degree and deep II degree burns heal pain-free, infection-free and
scar-free while full thickness derm burns also heal with skin regeneration.
It is a breakthrough in the study of human organ duplication suggesting
the dream of regenerating human organ via stem cell has become a reality.
Besides releasing relevant advanced achievements at this Press Release,
dozens of extensive burn patients with more than 90%TBSA and deep burns
healed from skin regeneration technique will make their appearance in
the event to display the actual therapeutic effects of this technique.
The publishing ceremony of "Blue Book on Burn Medical Therapy" (First
Volume) is the concurrence.
We sincerely welcome your attendance in the event to share the information
on the achievements.
