Camellia sinensis(tea) is reported to have health benefits, including the building of healthy skin. This study evaluated the effects of topical application ofCamellia sinensisextract on the rate of wound closure and the histology of wound area. A uniform area of 2.00 cm in diameter was excised from the neck of adult male Sprague Dawley rats. The animals were topically treated with 0.2 mL of vehicle (CMC), Intrasite gel (positive control), or 200 and 400 mg/mL of extract. Wounds dressed with the extract and Intrasite gel healed significantly earlier than those with vehicle. Histological analysis of the wound area after 10 days showed that wounds dressed with the extract had less scar width when compared to the control. The tissue contained less inflammatory cells and more collagen and angiogenesis, compared to wounds dressed with vehicle. In this study,Camellia sinensisshowed high potential in wound healing activity.

This study has been designed to compare the leaves extract of Ocimum tenuiflorum with soy lecithin and the leaves extract of Ocimum tenuiflorum only and find out its effectiveness on wound healing properties. Drug release study was also evaluated to obtain a brief idea on the release of the drug after consumption of the formulation and extract. The wound healing effectiveness study suggest that the formulated extract has better wound healing activity in comparison to extract which is more similar to the standard drug which was used as positive control. It was also found that the drug release activity of the formulation shows sustained release of the marker compound in when compared to the extract. Thus, it can be concluded that the improved wound healing activity of the formulation could be due to the sustained released of the compounds which present that act accordingly to improve the activity. Further study on its mechanism of action need to done to understand it activity better.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect on wound healing following treatment with a water extract of Mirabilis jalapa L. by investigatingwound contraction and the associated histopathological changes in rat skin.Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups, namely negative control, positive control (povidone-iodine), dose 1, dose 2, anddose 3. A 20-×10-mm rectangular wound area was created for the test. In dose 1, 2, and 3 groups, the corresponding dose variation of a 0.5-mLM. jalapa L. water extract (dose 1: 5% v/v, ≈243.1 mg/kg body weight BW; dose 2: 10% v/v, ≈486.2 mg/kg BW; and dose 3: 20% v/v, ≈972.4 mg/kg BW)was topically applied for 14 days on open wounds of rats. Widespread wound contractions were measured on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, andhistopathological changes in the skin were observed on day 15 using hematoxylin and eosin staining.Results: The M. jalapa L. water extract accelerated wound healing. The optimal dose was found to be 20% v/v (≈972.4 mg/kg BW).Conclusion: M. jalapa L. extracts are potential healing agents for open wounds.

Diabetes leads to amputation in approximately 15% to 20% of patients and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Thus, improving the quality of wound healing in this condition is essential. Diabetes is associated with acute/chronic inflammation affecting all organs especially the foot, while, inhibition of microRNA-155 (miR-155) has been reported to improve or reduce inflammatory situation. However, the role of miR-155 inhibition in promoting diabetic wound healing is not clear. To further study the potential benefit of miR-155 inhibition, a study of male Sprague-Dawley rats was conducted and diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry were then performed. The PCR results confirmed that miR-155 expression was lower after miR-155 inhibition on days 3, 7, and 13 (all Ps <.05). The wound healing rate between the normal glucose group (N group), diabetic PBS group (PBS group) and the topical miR-155 inhibitor group was compared. Faster healing of cutaneous wounds was observed in the miR-155 inhibitor group than in the PBS group and normal glucose group ( P < .05). In addition, downregulation of inflammatory cells, including neutrophils (MPO-positive) and macrophages (CD68-positive), and upregulation of the angiogenic protein CD31 and markers indicative of fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, such as collagen 1, TGF-β1, and α-SMA, were observed. These data permit the observation that miR-155 inhibition possesses the potential to reduce inflammation in acute wounds. This property may benefit the healing of diabetic foot wounds.

The aim of the study was to evaluate if a pre-incisional N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment altered the process of wound healing in a rat model. The dorsal skin of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats was incised in six locations. Before the incisions were made, skin was injected either with lidocaine and epinephrine (one side) or with these agents supplemented with 0.015%, 0.03%, or 0.045% NAC (contralaterally). Photographic documentation of the wound healing process was made at 11 time points. Rats were sacrificed 3, 7, 14, or 60 days after incision to excise scars for histological analysis. They included: Abramov scale scoring, histomorphometry analysis, and collagen fiber arrangement assessment. Skin pretreated with 0.03% NAC produced the shortest scars at all analyzed time points, though this result was statistically insignificant. At this NAC concentration the scars had smaller areas on the third day and were narrower on the day 4 compared with all the other groups (p < 0.05). On day 7, at the same concentration of NAC, the scars had a higher superficial concentration index (p = 0.03) and larger dermal proliferation area (p = 0.04). NAC addition to pre-incisional anesthetic solution decreased wound size and width at an early stage of scar formation at all concentrations; however, with optimal results at 0.03% concentration.

Postpartum depression affects 15% of women.Channa striatus, a freshwater fish, is consumed in local Malay population as a rejuvenating diet during postpartum period. This study evaluated the antidepressant-like effect of lipid extract ofC. striatusfillet and its mechanism of action in female Sprague-Dawley rats in postpartum model of depression. The rats were ovariectomized and treated with high dose of progesterone and estradiol benzoate for 23 days to have hormone-simulated pregnancy. The day 24 and afterwards were considered as the postpartum period. During the postpartum period, lipid extract was administered at 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg through intraperitoneal route for 15 days. Fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) was used as the positive control. On postpartum day 15, the animals were tested in forced swimming test (FST) and open field test (OFT) followed by biochemical analysis. Withdrawal of hormone administration during the postpartum period induced depressive-like behavior in FST. Administration of lipid extract reversed that depressive-like behavior at 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg in FST. In OFT, it decreased the exploratory activity. The mechanism of the antidepressant-like effect may be mediated through the decrease in plasma corticosterone, increase in plasma oxytocin, and decrease in nuclear factor-kappa B in prefrontal cortex of rats.

Methanol poisoning is a hazardous intoxication characterized by visual impairment and formic acidemia. The therapy for methanol poisoning is alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) inhibitors to prevent formate accumulation. Ranitidine has been considered to be an inhibitor of both gastric alcohol and hepatic aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes. This study aimed at testing ranitidine as an antidote for methanol acute toxicity and comparing it with ethanol and 4-methyl pyrazole (4-MP). This study was conducted on 48 Sprague-Dawley rats, divided into 6 groups, with 8 rats in each group (one negative control group [C1], two positive control groups [C2, C3] and three test groups [1, 2 and 3]). C2, C3 and all test groups were exposed to nitrous oxide by inhalation, then, C3 group was given methanol (3 g/kg orally). The three test groups 1, 2 and 3 were given ethanol (0.5 g/kg orally), 4-MP (15 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and ranitidine (30 mg/kg intraperitoneally), respectively, 4 hours after giving methanol. Rats were sacrificed and heparinized, cardiac blood samples were collected for blood pH and bicarbonate. Non-heparinized blood samples were collected for formate levels by high performance liquid chromatography. Eye balls were enucleated for histological examination of the retina. Ranitidine corrected metabolic acidosis (p = .025), decreased formate levels (p = .014) and improved the histological findings in the retina induced by acute methanol toxicity.

Tooth extraction will always cause injuries. However, the wound healing process can be accelerated under certain conditions. One of the natural ingredients that can accelerate the wound healing process is betadine (Jatropha multifida L.) plant sap. The study was aimed to analyzed the effect of betadine plant sap on wound healing and signs of infection after tooth extraction. Methods: Experimental laboratory study design with post-test only control group design was conducted towards 30 Sprague-Dawley rats. The sampling technique was convenience sampling. The sample was divided into two groups, the treatment group and the control group. The treatment group was administered with betadine plant sap, and the control group was administered with tranexamic acid orally using a gastric probe, then waited 4 hours after. The anaesthesia was then performed using 50 mg/kg body weight of ketamine intramuscularly. The extraction was performed after. Observations was conducted at the clinical criteria on days 1, 3, and 7 and continue to be monitored until the wound heals. Then, the signs of infection were observed. Data analysis was carried out using the Shapiro Wilk normality test. The results showed that the data was not normally distributed. Thus, data analysis was continued using the Mann Whitney statistical test. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the healing of socket wounds after tooth extraction after being administered with betadine sap and tranexamic acid with a value of p=0.037 (p<0.005). Conclusions: Administration of betadine plant sap is proven to be more effective in accelerating the healing process of socket wounds after tooth extraction than tranexamic acid. Keywords: Sprague-Dawley rats; wound healing; pencabutan gigi; getah batang betadine
