In 1958;a severely burned steel worker, the extent of whose bums
was 890/0 of the body surface, with 20070 of third degree bums, was
saved by the Kwangts'e hospital (now the Rui Jin hospital) of
Shanghai Second Medical College. It was the first report in the
world of such a critically injured patient recovering, and seemed
like a miracle at that time. During the 24 following years, a great
number of papers reporting the development and advances in bum
therapy in clinics and in research showed that Chinese medical
investigations in the field of bums have ranked among the most
advanced in the world. Plastic surgery, as an independent branch of
general surgery, has been established gradually since Liberation.
Recently, new techniques, including microsurgical techniques, in
plastic surgery have emerged and developed, permitting rapid
progress in clinical work and attracting attention and appreciation
in other parts of the world. The first national congress of Burns
and Plastic Surgery was held from May 16-24 1982 in Shanghai. Over
800 papers were presented and showed how advances have been made in
recent years in these two specialities. Here we present selected
articles as a symposium. It is hoped that this symposium will be of
value to its readers. About the Editors Chang Ti-sheng (Zhang
Di-sheng), who was born 12 June 1916, is Professor of Surgery,
Shanghai Second Medical College, Shanghai, Chief of the Department
of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Director of Shanghai
Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai.
Nanocellulose, a unique and promising natural material extracted
from native cellulose, has received immense interest for its broad
spectrum of applications owing to its remarkable physical
properties, special surface chemistry, and excellent biological
properties (biocompatibility, biodegradability and low toxicity).
In attempts to meet the requirements of humanity's well-being,
biomaterials scientists taking advantage of the structure and
properties of nanocellulose aim to develop new and formerly
non-existing materials with novel and multifunctional
properties.This book highlights the importance of nanocellulose and
reviews its synthesis, types, structure and properties. Further, it
discusses various biofabrication approaches and applications of
nanocellulose-based biomaterials in various fields such as the
environment, biomedicine, optoelectronics, pharmaceutics, paper,
renewable energy and the food industry. Devised to have a broad
appeal, this book will be useful to beginners, who will appreciate
its comprehensive approach, as well as active researchers, who will
find the focus on recent advancements highly valuable.
