PMID: 27309263 Abstract Title:  Synergistic Effect of Honey and Propolis on Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rats. Abstract:  Accelerating wound healing is now considered as a principle clinical treatment and increasing the quality and speed of healing which has always been emphasized by the scientists. Propolis and honey are natural bee products with wide range of biological and medicinal properties. This study was aimed to determine the synergistic effect of honey and propolis in wound healing of rat skin. A total of 75 Wistar rats weighing 200-250 gr were placed under general anesthesia and sterile conditions. Then a square shape wound with 1.5*1.5 mm dimension was made on the back of the neck. Animals were randomly divided into control, honey, propolis, combined honey propolis and phenytoin 1% groups, respectively. Rats were randomly divided into the following groups: 4th, 7th and, 14th days of treatment in each period of study. Wound area in the experimental group was covered once daily with a fixed amount of thyme honey, propolis, propolis and honey and phenytoin cream (1%), the control group did not receive any treatment. For histological studies, during the fourth, seventh and fourteenth day&#039;s rats were sacrificed and samples were taken from the wound and adjacent skin. After histological staining fibroblast, neutrophils, macrophages and vascular sections were counted in the wound bed. The macroscopic and microscopic evaluations showed that the percentage of wound healing on different days in the experimental and control groups were significant (P&lt;0.05). The macroscopic and microscopic evaluation showed that the percentage of wound healing on different days in combined propolis and honey experimental group was significantly different from the control group (Multivariate ANOVA test) (P&lt;0.05). Combined application of propolis and honey on the open wound healing in rats has a synergistic effect. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/combined-application-propolis-and-honey-open-wound-healing-rats-has-synergisti#comments Bee Propolis Honey Wound Healing bee propolis Honey Natural Substance Synergy wound healing Animal Study Tue, 05 Jun 2018 20:26:44 +0000 greenmedinfo 165290 at https://greenmedinfo.com Effects and mechanisms of total flavonoids from Blumea balsamifera on skin wound in rats. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/effects-and-mechanisms-total-flavonoids-blumea-balsamifera-skin-wound-rats n/a PMID:  Int J Mol Sci. 2017 Dec 19 ;18(12). Epub 2017 Dec 19. PMID: 29257119 Abstract Title:  Effects and Mechanisms of Total Flavonoids from Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. on Skin Wound in Rats. Abstract:  Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) evolved through thousands of years of practice and was popular not only among the Chinese population, but also most countries in the world.(L.) DC. as a traditional treatment for wound healing in Li Nationality Medicine has a long history of nearly 2000 years. This study was to evaluate the effects of total flavonoids from(L.) DC. on skin excisional wound on the back of Sprague-Dawley rats, reveal its chemical constitution, and postulate its action mechanism. The rats were divided into five groups and the model groups were treated with 30% glycerol, the positive control groups with Jing Wan Hong (JWH) ointment, and three treatment groups with high dose (2.52 g·kg), medium dose (1.26 g·kg), and low dose (0.63 g·kg) of total flavonoids from. During 10 consecutive days of treatment, the therapeutic effects of rates were evaluated. On day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7, and day 10 after treatment, skin samples were taken from all the rats for further study. Significant increases of granulation tissue, fibroblast, and capillary vessel proliferation were observed at day 7 in the high dose and positive control groups, compared with the model group, with the method of 4% paraformaldehyde for histopathological examination and immunofluorescence staining. To reveal the action mechanisms of total flavonoids on wound healing, the levels of CD68, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-₁ (TGF-₁), and hydroxyproline were measured at different days. Results showed that total flavonoids had significant effects on rat skin excisional wound healing compared with controls, especially high dose ones (&lt;0.05). Furthermore, the total flavonoid extract was investigated phytochemically, and twenty-seven compounds were identified from the total flavonoid sample by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry/diode array detector (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/DAD), including 16 flavonoid aglucons, five flavonoid glycosides (main peaks in chromatogram), five chlorogenic acid analogs, and 1 coumarin. Reports show that flavonoid glycoside possesses therapeutic effects of curing wounds by inducing neovascularization, and chlorogenic acid also has anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities; we postulated that all the ingredients in total flavonoids sample maybe exert a synergetic effect on wound curing. Accompanied with detection of four growth factors, the upregulation of these key growth factors may be the mechanism of therapeutic activities of total flavonoids. The present study confirmed undoubtedly that flavonoids were the main active constituents that contribute to excisional wound healing, and suggested its action mechanism of improving expression levels of growth factors at different healing phases. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/effects-and-mechanisms-total-flavonoids-blumea-balsamifera-skin-wound-rats#comments Sembung Leaf Wound Healing Anti-Inflammatory Agents Anti-Inflammatory Agents Sembung Leaf wound healing Animal Study Sat, 07 Apr 2018 12:48:34 +0000 greenmedinfo 162325 at https://greenmedinfo.com Punicalagin might find good use in wound healing therapy. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/punicalagin-might-find-good-use-wound-healing-therapy n/a PMID:  Molecules. 2016 Aug 22 ;21(8).

Abstract:  The pharmacological activities of many Punica granatum L. components suggest a wide range of clinical applications for the prevention and treatment of diseases where chronic inflammation is believed to play an essential etiologic role. The current work reports a case study analyzing the effect produced by a magistral formulation of ethanolic extracts of Punica granatum peels on a non-healing chronic ulcer. The complete closure of the chronic ulcer that was initially not responsive to standard medical care was observed. A 2% (w/w) P. granatum peels ethanolic extract hydrogel-based formulation (PGHF) was standardized and subjected to physicochemical studies to establish the quality control parameters using, among others, assessment criteria such as optimum appearance, pH range, viscosity and hydrogel disintegration. The stability and quantitative chromatographic data was assessed in storage for six months under two temperature regimes. An efficient HPLC-DAD method was established distinguishing the biomarkers punicalin and punicalagin simultaneously in a single 8 min run. PGHF presented suitable sensorial and physicochemical performance, showing that punicalagin was not significantly affected by storage (p&gt;0.05). Formulations containing extracts with not less than 0.49% (w/w) total punicalagin might find good use in wound healing therapy. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/punicalagin-might-find-good-use-wound-healing-therapy#comments Pomegranate Peel Wound Healing Pomegranate Peel punicalagin wound healing Human: Case Report Thu, 19 Jan 2017 22:48:01 +0000 greenmedinfo 142268 at https://greenmedinfo.com Royal jelly is well known for its protective effects on reproductive health, neurodegenerative disorders, wound healing, and aging. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/royal-jelly-well-known-its-protective-effects-reproductive-health-neurodegener n/a PMID:  Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2017 ;2017:1259510.

Epub 2018 Jan 24. PMID: 29368069 Abstract Title:  Effect of low-level laser therapy on the healing process of donor site in patients with grade 3 burn ulcer after skin graft surgery (a randomized clinical trial). Abstract:  Skin graft is a standard therapeutic technique in patients with deep ulcers, but managing donor site after grafting is very important. Although several modern dressings are available to enhance the comfort of donor site, using techniques that accelerate wound healing may enhance patient satisfaction. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used in several medical fields, including healing of diabetic, surgical, and pressure ulcers, but there is not any report of using this method for healing of donor site in burn patients. The protocols and informed consent were reviewed according to Medical Ethics Board of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (IR.SBMU.REC.1394.363) and Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT2016020226069N2). Eighteen donor sites in 11 patients with grade 3 burn ulcer were selected. Donor areas were divided into 2 parts, for laser irradiation and control randomly. Laser area was irradiated by a red, 655-nm laser light, 150 mW, 2 J/cm, on days 0 (immediately after surgery), 3, 5, and 7. Dressing and other therapeutic care for both sites were the same. The patients and the person who analyzed the results were blinded. The size of donor site reduced in both groups during the 7-day study period (P &lt; 0.01) and this reduction was significantly greater in the laser group (P = 0.01). In the present study, for the first time, we evaluate the effects of LLLT on the healing process of donor site in burn patients. The results showed that local irradiation of red laser accelerates wound healing process significantly. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/results-showed-local-irradiation-red-laser-accelerates-wound-healing-process-s#comments Burns Wound Healing Laser Treatment: Low-Level Burns Laser Treatment: Low-Level wound healing Human Study Tue, 03 Apr 2018 20:58:48 +0000 greenmedinfo 162149 at https://greenmedinfo.com This Natural Salve Heals Wounds Better Than Petroleum Jelly https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/natural-salve-heals-wounds-better-petroleum-jelly <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2023<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/blank.justin/images/This_Natural_Salve_Heals_Wounds_Better_Than_Petroleum_Jelly-GreenMedInfo.jpg" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Vaseline petroleum jelly is a byproduct of petroleum refining.

Epub 2017 May 11. PMID: 28501766 Abstract Title:  Therapeutic effects of zerumbone in an alkali-burned corneal wound healing model. Abstract:  Cornea is an avascular transparent tissue. Ocular trauma caused by a corneal alkali burn induces corneal neovascularization (CNV), inflammation, and fibrosis, leading to vision loss. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Zerumbone (ZER) on corneal wound healing caused by alkali burns in mice. CNV was induced by alkali-burn injury in BALB/C female mice. Topical ZER (three times per day, 3μl each time, at concentrations of 5, 15, and 30μM) was applied to treat alkali-burned mouse corneas for 14 consecutive days. Histopathologically, ZER treatment suppressed alkali burn-induced CNV and decreased corneal epithelial defects induced by alkali burns. Corneal tissue treated with ZER showed reduced mRNA levels of pro-angiogenic genes, including vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and 9, and pro-fibrotic factors such as alpha smooth muscle actin and transforming growth factor-1 and 2. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the infiltration of F4/80and/or CCR2 positive cells was significantly decreased in ZER-treated corneas. ZER markedly inhibited the mRNA and protein levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human corneal fibroblasts and murine peritoneal macrophages. Immunoblot analysis revealed that ZER decreased the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), with consequent reduction of MCP-1 production by these cells. In conclusion, topical administration of ZER accelerated corneal wound healing by inhibition of STAT3 and MCP-1 production. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/topical-administration-zerumbone-accelerated-corneal-wound-healing#comments Burns Wound Healing Zerumbone STAT3 Inhibitor Burns STAT3 Inhibitor wound healing Zerumbone Animal Study Tue, 16 May 2017 23:04:29 +0000 greenmedinfo 147823 at https://greenmedinfo.com
