Bursera morelensis is used in Mexican folk medicine to treat wounds on the skin. It is an endemic tree known as “aceitillo”, and the antibacterial and antifungal activity of its essential oil has been verified; it also acts as an anti-inflammatory. All of these reported biological activities make the essential oil of B. morelensis a candidate to accelerate the wound-healing process. The objective was to determine the wound-healing properties of B. morelensis’ essential oil on a murine model. The essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation, and the chemical analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In the murine model, wound-healing efficacy (WHE) and wound contraction (WC) were evaluated. Cytotoxic activity was evaluated in vitro using peritoneal macrophages from BALB/c mice. The results showed that 18 terpenoid-type compounds were identified in the essential oil. The essential oil had remarkable WHE regardless of the dose and accelerated WC and was not cytotoxic. In vitro tests with fibroblasts showed that cell viability was dose-dependent; by adding 1 mg/mL of essential oil (EO) to the culture medium, cell viability decreased below 80%, while, at doses of 0.1 and 0.01 mg/mL, it remained around 90%; thus, EO did not intervene in fibroblast proliferation, but it did influence fibroblast migration when wound-like was done in monolayer cultures. The results of this study demonstrated that the essential oil was a pro-wound-healing agent because it had good healing effectiveness with scars with good tensile strength and accelerated repair. The probable mechanism of action of the EO of B. morelensis, during the healing process, is the promotion of the migration of fibroblasts to the site of the wound, making them active in the production of collagen and promoting the remodeling of this collagen.

Wound healing represents one of the most important processes evaluated in the biomedical field. In this regard, healing is defined as a dynamic and complex process in which the tissue integrity and the normal functions of the damaged tissue are restored. The purpose of this research was to achieve the main characteristics of an ideal wound dressing to prevent maceration, provide a moist environment, remove the exudate that is accumulated from the wound and to maintain a proper permeability to the wound bed. Different hydrogels were designed and developed through the esterification reaction of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with gelatin (GELL). The hydrogels were prepared in various weight ratios of PVA:GELL (4:1 and 1:4), by adding rosemary essential oil as an active compound. The incorporation of Rosemarinus officinalis L (rosemary) essential oil in PVA/GELL hydrogels represents a potential method for the improvement of the wound healing process. Further, the developed hydrogels were applied by immersion on cotton gauze. The synthetized specimens were evaluated from morphological and rheological point of view, by performing Optical Microscopy, fluid uptake ability and porosity measurements.

The Effect of topical application pandan extract gel on gingival wound. Post-gingivectomy wound is usually covered by periodontal dressing, which generally contains some chemical compounds to protect the wound. However, it can provide allergic effect on some patients. Pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) contain a number of active substances that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial effect and play a role in wound healing. This study aims to determine the effect of topical application of Pandan leaf extract gel on gingival wound healing. Gingivectomy model was carried out on mandibular incisive gingival using the 2.5-mm punch biopsy. Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into 3 groups of treatment: negative control (CMC-Na), positive control (Aloclair), and 50% of pandan extract gel. The gels on each group were applied (twice in a day) to the wound area after gingivectomy. The observation of the wound healing process was also carried out on day 1, 3, 7, and 14 by making the histological preparations of gingival wound area. The number of blood vessels was observed using microscope and data was analysed using Two- Way Anova and LSD. The result showed that number of blood vessel increased on day 3 and the peak was on day 7. Anova and LSD test showed several significant differences comparison the number blood vessel between treatment and control. In conclusion, topical application Pandan leaves extract gel could accelerate gingival wound healing.ABSTRAKLuka pasca gingivektomi dibalut dengan periodontal dressing yang mengandung senyawa kimia dengan tujuan melindungi luka, namun senyawa kimia periodontal dressing yang ada di pasaran dapat menimbulkan efek alergi terhadap beberapa pasien.

Abstract: The topical application of honey on a wound is effective in controlling the wound healing process and results in clean granulation tissues in the wound base. Honey acts as a hyperosmolar medium and prevents microbial growth. Besides that, honey has a high viscosity that forms a physical barrier and cretaes a wet environmet which is very effective in accelerating wound healing. Nutrients in honey increase the supply of local substances that might be useful in reepithelization. In addition, honey contains a catalase enzyme that can influence wound healing.Keywords: honey, wound healingAbstrak: Pemberian madu topikal efektif dalam mengontrol dan menghasilkan dasar luka bergranulasi bersih. Madu bekerja terutama sebagai medium hiperosmolar dan mencegah pertumbuhan bakteri. Madu juga memiliki viskositas tinggi yang membentuk sawar fisik dan menciptakan lingkungan basah; sifat tersebut yang membantu dan mempercepat penyembuhan luka. Kandungan bahan makanan dari madu menambah pasokan bahan lokal yang mungkin membantu mempercepat reepitelisasi. Disamping itu, madu mengandung enzim katalase yang juga mempengaruhi proses penyembuhan luka.Kata kunci: madu, penyembuhan luka

AbstractWound healing is a complex and time-phased process. The occurrence of numerous negative conditions as well as external factors have a significant influence on the risk of potential complications. Preparing the patient for surgery, attention should be paid to a number of factors determining the proper healing process.The aim of the study was to compare the results of the early period of surgical wound healing process with access via laparotomy using techniques, which are self-adaptive sutures and mechanical staplers used for skin closure.Material and methods. The study included 120 patients divided into three groups, according to the degree of wound continence, in accordance with the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Exclusion criteria based on objective analysis were applied for patients with a higher risk of complications. In all cases the skin layer was closed with monofilament suture or single-patient use stapler. A ten-day observation of the wound healing process was implemented. The study was randomized.Results. In the case of patients groups identified as a “Clean Wound” and “ Clean / Infected Wound” no significant differences were discovered. In the group “Contaminated/Infected Wound” significantly higher percentage of wound-healing complications were reported (p < 0.05) for which monofilament sutures was used.Conclusions. The study showed, that mechanical stapler is recommended for contaminated/infected surgical wounds due to significantly lower risk of complications. In the case of wounds divided as a “Clean” and “Clean/Infected” type of suturing material has no significant effect on wound healing.

Curcumin, a natural product obtained from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa, is used traditionally in prevention of wound infection. To determine the effects of silver and curcumin combination on surgical wound healing, a study was conducted in rabbits. A total of 32 surgical wounds were created in 16 rabbits in four groups. Information was recorded from Day 0 to Day 42 postoperatively. Swelling area of wound, elevation of suture line from the skin surface, width of sutured area and contraction length were recorded weekly. Treatment with curcumin, 1% silver sulfadiazine (1% SSD) and a mixture of the two resulted in swelling of 11.4 ± 0.1 mm, 11.1 ± 0.4 mm and 11.0 ± 0.1 mm, respectively. Swelling (12.2 ± 0.3mm) and elevation of sutured line was higher (3.4 ± 0.2 mm) in wounds of control group and lower (2.3 ± 0.1 mm) in wounds treated with a mixture of curcumin and 1% SSD. The scores of wound colonization were lowest (0.8) in 1% SSD group followed by mixture of curcumin and 1% SSD (1.0), curcumin (1.3) and tincture of benzoin (1.6) alone. Histopathologically reactive cells decreased markedly in wounds treated with combination of 1% SSD and curcumin at D3 with increased fibrous connective tissue. However, wounds treated with 1% SSD showed fewer reactive cells than curcumin group. Proliferation of fibrous connective tissue was highest in the silver treated wound, which indicates good wound healing process. Overall, wound healing was improved by the topical application of 1% SSD alone. Curcumin had positive effects on wound healing process but less than 1% SSD. These results indicate that 1% silver sulfadiazine is the best topical therapy for wound management in rabbits.Bangl. vet. 2015. Vol. 32, No. 2, 55-64

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the topical application of alcoholic extracts of Dipteryx alata Vogel almonds and bark in skin wound healing in mice. Fifty-four C57BL/6 mice were equally distributed into three groups: Control, Almond, and Bark. A 9 mm skin fragment was resected from the dorsal region of the animals’ thorax. The wounds were submitted to topical application of base cream (vehicle), 10% hydroalcoholic almond extract, or bark extract twice a day. Macroscopic, histological, and immunohistochemical evaluations were conducted on the 7th, 14th, and 21st postoperative days. No significant difference was observed regarding skin wound area among groups, with the parameter presenting only a temporal effect on healing (p>0.05). The almond and control groups exhibited more intense collagenization than the bark group (p<0.05). Dipteryx alata Vogel showed to be inert in the wound healing process in mice.

To accomplish an ideal wound healing process which promotes healthy tissue growth with less scaring, a novel gel based topical drug delivery system composed of 3 different polymers chitosan, dextran sulfate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (CDP) was prepared. The physicochemical properties of the prepared gels were investigated in vitro. Gels showed a maximum swelling ratio of 50 ± 1.95 times of dried gel in PBS at pH 7.4. The swelling ratios increase in acidic and alkaline pH to 55.3 ± 1.75 and 65.5 ± 2.42, respectively. In the rheological test, prepared gels revealed viscoelastic properties and a small linear viscoelastic region of 0.166%. In vivo wound healing promoting activities of CDP gels containing 20 μg/mL EGF were evaluated on surgically induced dermal wounds in rats using pathologic examination. The application of CDP gel with incorporated EGF significantly reduced the defect on the rat’s skin and enhanced epithelial healing compared with the topical application of the EGF-free CDP gel. The results clearly substantiate the beneficial effects of the topical application of CDP containing EGF in the acceleration of healthy wound healing process with less scarring.
