摘　　要：Background: Burn injuries represent one of the greatest public health problems that induce significant patient morbidity and mortality. Scalds are the most common cause of burn injuries which is known to have long term grave consequences on general health. Aim: The current study was performed to identify the age of scald burn from histopathological changes and TNF-α immunoexpression. As well, study the probable relation between the scald age and the hepatic function impairment. Materials and Methods: A total number of 40 adult male albino rats were used in the study. Eight kept as control group I. Thirty-two rats were exposed to scald injury involving 20% of total body surface area (TBSA). Histopathological examination for the scald area, liver, and skin TNF-α immunohistochemistry was performed. Liver function tests and liver tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) were also determined. The study was carried out after 2, 7 days, 1 and 3 months of scald incidence. Results: Progressive histopathological changes and elevated liver enzymes were observed in the early scald ages while manifestations of healing and improvement in liver parameters, started to occur after 1 and 3 months of scald infliction in comparison with the other periods. There was a highly significant (P Conclusion: Overall, the results showed the ability to identify the age of scald injury using routine histopathological examination. Also, scald injury involving 20% of TBSA may cause long term impairment of hepatic function. Moreover, the proinflammatory results revealed that TNF-α may consider as mediators in the post-burn pathophysiological process. Furthermore, our results declare a significant correlation between MDA levels and the degree of burn complications, including shock and remote organ damage.Background: Burn injuries represent one of the greatest public health problems that induce significant patient morbidity and mortality.
