Objective. To investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on cutaneous wound healing of Streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats.Methods. 20 STZ-induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into two groups (10 in each group): diabetic rats with SMF exposure group which were exposed to SMF by gluing one magnetic disk of 230 mT intensity and diabetic rats with sham SMF exposure group (sham group). 10 normal Wistar rats were used as the control group. One open circular wound with 2 cm diameter in the dorsum was generated on both normal and diabetic rats and then covered with sterile gauzes. Wound healing was evaluated by wound area reduction rate, mean time to wound closure, and wound tensile strength.Results. The wound area reduction rate in diabetic rats in comparison with the control group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with sham magnet group, diabetic rats under 230 mT SMF exposure demonstrated significantly accelerated wound area reduction rate on postoperative days 7, 14, and 21 and decreased gross time to wound closure (P<0.05), as well as dramatically higher wound tissue strength (P<0.05) on 21st day.Conclusion. 230 mT SMF promoted the healing of skin wound in diabetic rats and may provide a non-invasive therapeutic tool for impaired wound healing of diabetic patients.

Introduction. The analysis of the effectiveness of applying autologous platelet-rich plasma was performed in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with wounds that heal slowly. Materials. The study is based on the analysis of the treatment of 61 patients who suffered from slow-healing wounds of venous genesis with a diameter of no more than 8 cm on the lower extremities and took the treatment at the surgical ward. The proposed method was based on obtaining autologous enriched platelet plasma followed by its injection along the periphery of the wound. The degree of reduction of the wound surface area was assessed by the method of contact planimetry per day. The patients of the 1st group demonstrated the wound area reduction by 5.1 ± 0.6%, and the patients of the group 2 – by 1.8 ± 0.4% (p <0005). The results indicate an increase in the rate of wound healing in patients in group 1 compared with patients in group 2. During the entire follow-up period (12 weeks), complete wound epithelialisation occurred in 21 (70%) patients in group 1 and in 10 (33.3%) patients of the group 2. The wound area decreased by more than 50% in 6 patients of group 1 (20%) and in 2 (7%) patients of the control group. The wound area decreased less than by 50% in 3 patients in group 1 (10%), and in 19 patients in group 2 (60%). The use of PRP therapy has been proven to have a significant positive effect on the process of wound healing compared with the use of standard methods used for the control group. Conclusion: increase in the wound healing pace in patients of group 1 (test) compared with patients of group 2 (control) can be explained by using autologous platelet-enriched plasma as an additional means to the standard therapy.

Objective. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of cinnamon nanoparticles (CNPs) on healing of wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aurous with human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells sensitization in diabetic rats. Methods. We included fifty diabetic male rats and divided them into 5 groups. There were 10 rats in each group as follows: CONTROL group: we did not infect the CONTROL group. The wound was only covered with sterile saline 0.9% solution (0.1 mL). INFCTD group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA and covered with sterile saline 0.9% solution (0.1 mL). INFCTD-HMLT group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA and HAMLET (100 μg). INFCTD-CNM group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA and 0.1 mL CNPs (1 mg/mL) were applied topically to wounds. INFCTD-HMLT-CNM group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA, HAMLET (100 μg), and 0.1 mL CNPs (1 mg/mL). Results. Bacteriology, wound area reduction measurements, biochemistry, histomorphometrical studies, hydroxyproline levels, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for caspase-3, Bcl-2, and p53 showed significant difference between rats in the INFCTD-HMT-CNM group in comparison with other groups ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions. Accelerated healing of diabetic wounds infected with MRSA showed that local application of cinnamon nanoparticles along with HAMLET sensitization on S. aureus-infected wound could be taken into consideration.

Objective. The study was designed to evaluate pharmacological potential of hydroalcoholic leaves extract of Chrozophora tinctoria intended for wound healing in diabetic rats’ model. Methods. The method used to evaluate the pharmacological potential of hydroalcoholic leave extract was physical incision rat model. In this model, cutting of the skin and/or other tissues with a sharp blade has been made and the rapid disruption of tissue integrity with minimal collateral damage was observed shortly. Animals used in the study were divided into four groups that consist of six animals in each group. Group I serves as normal control, Group II serves as disease control, Group III was used as standard treatment (Povidone iodine 50 mg/kg b.w.), and Group IV was used for test drug (C. tinctoria 50 mg/kg b.w.). Result. The hydroalcoholic leave extract of Chrozophora tinctoria has been significantly observed to heal the wound (98%) in diabetic rats within 21 days, while standard drug (Povidone iodine) healed the wound about 95% in the same condition. The oral dose (50 mg/kg b.w.) of Chrozophora tinctoria was also found to improve the elevated blood glucose level in comparison to disease control group, which increased after the oral administration of Streptozotocin. Conclusion. The Chrozophora tinctoria has significant wound healing potential in the animal having physically damaged tissue in diabetic condition.

ABSTRACT Background: Chronic wounds in patients with Diabetes Mellitus often become incurable due to prolonged and excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. The use of probiotics modifies the intestinal microbiota and modulates inflammatory reactions. Aim: To evaluate the influence of perioperative supplementation with probiotics in the cutaneous healing process in diabetic rats. Methods: Forty-six rats were divided into four groups (C3, P3, C10, P10) according to the treatment (P=probiotic or C=control, both orally administered) and day of euthanasia, 3rd or 10th postoperative days. All rats were induced to Diabetes Mellitus 72 h before starting the experiment with alloxan. Supplementation was initiated five days before the incision and maintained until euthanasia. Scalpel incision was guided by a 2x2 cm mold and the wounds were left to heal per second-intention. The wounds were digitally measured. Collagen densitometry was done with Picrosirius Red staining. Histological parameters were analyzed by staining by H&E. Results: The contraction of the wound was faster in the P10 group which resulted in a smaller scar area (p=0.011). There was an increase in type I collagen deposition from the 3rd to the 10th postoperative day in the probiotic groups (p=0.016), which did not occur in the control group (p=0.487). The histological analysis showed a better degree of healing in the P10 group (p=0.005), with fewer polymorphonuclear (p<0.001) and more neovessels (p=0.001). Conclusions: Perioperative supplementation of probiotics stimulates skin wound healing in diabetic rats, possibly due to attenuation of the inflammatory response and increased neovascularization and type I collagen deposition.

The aim of this study was to observe the curative effect and mechanism of Shengji Yuhong ointment in the healing of chronic ulcer of lower limbs. 400 patients were equally divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group was covered with a piece of Shengji Yuhong ointment gauze, while the control group was covered with a piece of Vaseline gauze. Both groups changed dressings every other day for 4 weeks. On the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days of treatment, the reduction rate of wound area and the growth of wound granulation were observed and the levels of hydroxyproline and hemoglobin in wound granulation tissue were measured. The total effective rate was 99.00% in the treatment group and 71.00% in the control group. The treatment group was significantly better than the control group ( P < .01). The ulcer area reduction rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P < .01). The scores of ulcer depth, granulation color, and coverage area on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days after treatment in the treatment group were significantly lower than those before treatment ( P < .05). After treatment, the levels of hydroxyproline and hemoglobin in granulation tissue of wounds in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment ( P < .01), and the levels in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P < .01). Shengji Yuhong ointment can improve the healing rate of chronic ulcer of lower limbs.

Wounds and burn injury are major causes of death and disability worldwide. Myricetin is a common bioactive flavonoid isolated naturally from the plant kingdom. Herein, a topical application of naturally isolated myricetin from the shoots of Tecomaria capensis v. aurea on excisional wound healing that was performed in albino rats. The wounded rats were treated every day with 10 and 20% myricetin for 14 days. During the experiment, the wound closure percentage was estimated at days 0, 7, and 14. Effects of myricetin on the inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68) in the serum were evaluated using immunosorbent assay kits. The percentage of wound closure and contraction was delayed in wounded rats (67.35%) and was remarkably increased after treatment of wounded rats with myricetin; the treatment with 20% myricetin was the most potent (98.76%). Histological findings exhibited that 10% myricetin caused the formation of a large area of scarring at the wound enclosure and stratified squamous epithelium without the formation of papillae as in the control group. Treatment with 20% myricetin exhibited less area of scarring at the wound enclosure as well as re-epithelialization with a high density of fibroblasts and blood capillaries in the wound. Level elevations of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, and TNF-α and macrophage CD68 were decreased in wounded rats treated with myricetin. Thus, it can be suggested that the enhancements in inflammatory cytokines as well as systemic reorganization after myricetin treatment may be recommended to play a crucial part in the promotion of wound healing. The findings suggest that treatment with a higher dose of myricetin was better in improving wound curing in rats. It could serve as a potent anti-inflammatory agent and can be used as an adjunctive or alternative agent in the future.

Objective: To assess the effect of bromelain on different aspects of the wound healing process in type 1 diabetic rats. Method: In this study, 112 streptozocin-diabetic (type 1) male Wistar rats were euthanised; 28 each on days three, five, seven and 15, after a wound incision had been made. To estimate changes in a number of different cellular and tissue elements, histological sections were provided from all wound areas and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Some 1.056mm2 of total wound area from all specimens were evaluated, by assessment of 4200 microscope photos provided from all histological sections, by stereological methods. A biomechanical test of each wound area was performed with an extensometer to evaluate the work-up to maximum force and maximum stress of the healed wound on day 15. Results: In the experimental groups, bromleain caused significant wound contraction and reduced granulation tissue formation by day 7 (p=0.003); increased neovasculars (new small vessels that appear in the wound area during wound healing) on days three, five and seven (p=0.001); significantly increased fibroblasts on day five but decreased by day seven (p=0.002); and significantly decreased macrophage numbers and epithelium thickness on all days of study (p=0.005). Wound strength significantly increased in experimental groups by day 15. Conclusion: Bromelain has a wide range of therapeutic benefits, but in most studies the mode of its action is not properly understood. It has been proved that bromelain has no major side effects, even after prolonged use. According to the results of this study, bromelain can be used as an effective health supplement to promote and accelerate wound healing indices, reduce inflammation and improve biomechanical parameters in diabetic wounds.

The static magnetic field (SMF) in human exposure has become a health risk concern, especially with respect to prolonged exposure. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has been considering cell or animal models to be adopted to estimate the possible human health impacts after such exposure. The medaka fish is a good animal model for human-related health assessment studies; this paper examines both the embryo development and behavioral responses in medaka fish in vivo to long-term SMF exposure at the mT level. SMF exposure was examined for the complete developmental period of embryos until hatched; the embryos were monitored and recorded every 24 h for different morphological abnormalities in their developmental stages. The behavioral response of adult fish was also examined by analyzing their swimming velocities and positioning as compared with that of the control group. It was observed that there were no impacts on embryo development under prolonged exposure up to about 100 mT while the swimming behavior of the adult fish under exposure was different to the control group—the swimming movement of the treated group was more static, with an average velocity of 24.6% less as observed over a 24-h duration.

Background and Purpose. This study aimed to evaluate the wound healing activities of Aftamed and chlorine dioxide gels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Experimental Approach. Forty-eight Sprague Dawley rats were chosen for this study, divided into 4 groups. Diabetes was induced. Two-centimeter-diameter full-thickness skin excision wounds were created. Animals were topically treated twice daily. Groups 1, the diabetic control group, were treated with 0.2 mL of sterile distilled water. Group 2 served as a reference standard were treated with 0.2 mL of Intrasite gel. Groups 3 and 4 were treated with 0.2 mL of Aftamed and 0.2 mL of chlorine dioxide gels respectively. Granulation tissue was excised on the 10th day and processed for histological and biochemical analysis. The glutathione peroxidase ,superoxide dismutase activities and the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined. Results. Aftamed-treated wounds exhibited significant increases in hydroxyproline, cellular proliferation, the number of blood vessels, and the level of collagen synthesis. Aftamed induced an increase in the free radical-scavenging enzyme activity and significantly reduced the lipid peroxidation levels in the wounds as measured by the reduction in the MDA level. Conclusions. This study showed that Aftamed gel is able to significantly accelerate the process of wound healing in diabetic rats.
