PG - 213-5 AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the changes in serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) and blood sugar in severely burned patients, so as to validate the optimal time of rhGH administration. METHODS: Forty severely burned patients were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into control (C), treatment 1 (rhGH given from 7 - 9 PBD, T1) and treatment 2 (rhGH from 10 - 14 PBD, T2) groups. The dynamic changes in serum IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and blood sugar on the 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 and 21 PBDs in all 3 groups of burn patients were determined, analyzed and compared with one another. RESULTS: The serum IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and blood sugar levels in T1 and T2 groups were higher than those in C group after the use of rhGH, especially the IGFBP-3 and blood sugar (P < 0.05). There was no difference of all the indices between T1 and T2 groups. CONCLUSION: It might be optimal to give rhGH to severely burned patients during 7-9 PBDs.
