Reduction of the wound healing time after surgical procedures along with good hemostasis, and the reduction of post-surgical edema, pain and infective complications are generally desirable to both clinicians and patients. Recently, a gel compound containing sodium hyaluronate and four synthetic aminoacids (glycine, leucine, proline, lysine) and marketed as Aminogam® (Errekappa Euroterapici, Italy), has been proposed as a medical device promoting faster wound healing after oral surgery procedures. To assess its achievable clinical benefits, we studied retrospectively 580 cases (290 study cases and 290 control cases) undergoing oral surgery and receiving Aminogam ® gel application. More precisely, cases were divided into 7 groups on the bases of the kind of surgery (teeth extraction, oral surgery in patients taking bisphosphonates, surgical treatment of jaw osteonecrosis related to bisphosphonates therapy, placement of endosseous implants, diode laser surgery of oral mucosa lesions with second intention healing without stitches, diode laser photocoagulation of slow flow vascular malformations and bone surgery). In all instances, Aminogam® gel was applied at least five times a day until the wound healed completely. We compared the elapsed time between surgery and complete healing with Aminogam® application compared to control cases receiving no other drug treatment. Our results confirmed that the overall time of healing is certainly reduced in cases receiving Aminogam® gel regardless of the kind of oral surgery.

OBJECTIVE: This article presents a case of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) treated by diode laser surgery, as well as a review of the literature about this pathology.CASE DESCRIPTION: A 55-year-old woman was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, School of Dentistry, complaining of a discomfort on swallowing due to a soft-tissue mass in the oral cavity that had been developing for approximately 3 years. Intraoral examination revealed multiple exophytic, pedunculated lesions with a smooth surface and pinkish in color, affecting almost the entire right cheek mucosa. The lesion turned out to be a IFH by histopatology. Surgical removal of IFH of the oral mucosa using a diode laser was performed. The lesion was removed in 3 sessions. The patient reported no local symptoms after each irradiation. The clinical appearance 10 months after the last irradiation session demonstrated complete healing and no signals of recurrence.CONCLUSION: Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that diode laser radiation contributes significantly to the advancement of oral surgery and should be considered a valuable resource for the treatment of soft-tissue lesions in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Introduction: Verneuil disease, or perianal hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), is a chronic suppurative disease with a tendency to develop sinus formation, fibrosis, and sclerosis, having a great impact on quality of life. HS affect the apocrine sweat glands or sebaceous glands and may arise in each of the regions where the apocrine glands are prominent: the axilla, breast aureole, umbilicus, perineum, groin, and buttocks. We present here moderate and extensive HS cases, with their respective treatment methods and outcomes. Methods: A retrospective re-view of 6 patients? medical records from January 2001 to December 2010. Results: The 6 patients underwent treatment for HS in the gluteal and perianal regions with surgical excision. Five of the patients were male (83%). The median age was 42.5 years. We performed a total of 8 operations on these patients. In 3 patients, the wound was left open for secondary healing, and the mean time for complete wound healing was 11.3 weeks (range: 9.5-19 weeks). Delayed skin grafting was used for 2 patients in whom the wounds had been left open after the first operation. In this group, complete wound healing took 2 months in total. One patient underwent primary wound closure using rotation flaps, with a complete healing time of 2 weeks. Successful treatment without recurrence was accomplished in 5 (83.3%) of the patients. Conclusion: The conservative treatment methods had little effect, particularly on gluteal and perianal/perineal HS. The only successful treatment was wide surgical excision. Management of the wound after wide excision should be tailored to the individual patient.

Hyaluronate-iodine complex is a wound healing adjuvant approved for use in the European Union. The objective of this study is to validate hyaluronate-iodine as a potential wound healing agent. Patients were recruited from the hospital, the outpatient clinic, and the wound healing center. Hyaluronate-iodine soaked gauze was applied to wounds either daily or every other day depending on the amount of wound exudate. Wounds were measured weekly, and progression was documented with digital photography. All wounds were debrided as needed using standard surgical techniques. Fourteen patients (19 wounds) were entered into this prospective study, and 10 patients completed treatment. Fourteen wounds progressed to complete healing with a mean healing time of 18.1 ± 15.1 weeks. Treatment was interrupted in four patients. One patient discontinued treatment due to pain related to application of hyaluronate-iodine, another patient for transportation issues, and the other two patients were lost to follow-up due to relocation out of state and noncompliance with scheduled appointments. Hyaluronate-iodine was helpful in the healing of all types of wounds treated in this pilot study. The antiadhesive and antimicrobial properties of hyaluronate-iodine create a desirable environment conducive to wound healing without apparent detrimental effects.

Exposures of wounds to ionizing radiations have been found to prolong the healing and also cause defective healing of irradiated wounds. Although, the descriptions of wound care techniques have been found in some of the oldest archeological findings, little attention has been given to capitalize on the conservative wound therapies in the treatment of irradiated wounds. Therefore, the present study was designed to enunciate the effect of topical application of 0.5, 2, 5 and 10 % curcumin ointment on wound contraction and mean wound healing time of excision skin wound in mice whole-body exposed to 6 Gy γ-radiations. The topical application of curcumin ointment increased the wound contraction and reduced mean wound healing time by 2.2 days in normal unirradiated wounds. The irradiation of mice to 6 Gy resulted in the retardation in healing of the wounds, whereas topical application of different concentrations of curcumin ointment resulted in a concentration dependent rise in the wound contraction at different post-irradiation times and a maximum wound contraction was detected in the wounds receiving topical application of 7% curcumin twice a day. A similar effect was observed in the mean wound healing time, which showed a reduction of 1.5 days for 5% curcumin ointment. Observations demonstrated that topical application of curcumin twice daily until complete healing of wound significantly improved contraction of irradiated wound and decreased the mean healing time.

Cold sores are nasolabial blisters caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. Novel therapies demonstrating simultaneously antiviral activity and improved wound healing are warranted. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of medical-grade honey (MGH) for treating HSV-induced cold sores. A crossover trial was performed in patients with recurrent cold sores (n = 29). The majority (65.6%) of these patients experience four or more episodes per year, thus forming a valid self-control group. In this study, patients applied an MGH-based formulation (L-Mesitran Soft) on their cold sore at the onset of symptoms (62.1%) or appearing of blister (37.9%) and compared it to their conventional treatments. After complete healing, patients filled in a questionnaire evaluating healing, pain, and itching. The average absolute healing time was 72.4% slower with conventional treatment (10.0 days) compared to MGH (5.8 days). After MGH treatment, 86.2% of all patients experienced faster objective healing (6.9% similar and 6.9% slower) and the subjective healing score was higher in 79.3% of the patients (20.7% similar). If the patients normally experience pain and itching during their cold sores, these levels were lower with MGH therapy compared to conventional treatment in 72.7% and 71.4% of the patients, respectively. Moreover, 100% of the patients prefer MGH treatment over conventional treatment and will use it again on future cold sores. MGH is a promising alternative treatment for cold sores, likely by combining both increased antiviral and wound healing activities while alleviating pain and itching.

: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder of endocrine system characterized by increase in blood glucose level. Several factors such as pancreatic damage, oxidative stress, infection, genetic factor, obesity, liver dysfunction play a vital role in pathogenesis of diabetes which further lead to serious diabetic complications. Diabetic wound is one such complication where the wound formation occurs, especially due to pressure and its healing process is disrupted due to factors such as hyperglycemia, neuropathy, nephropathy, peripheral vascular disease, reduction of blood flow, atherosclerosis, impaired fibroblast. Process of wound healing is delayed due to different abnormalities like alteration in nitric oxide level, increase in aldose reductase, sorbitol and fructose. Therefore, diabetic wound requires more time to heal as compare to normal wound. Healing time is delayed in diabetic wound due to many factors such as stress, decreased oxygenation supply, infection, decreased blood flow, impaired proliferation and migration rate, impaired growth factor production, impaired keratinocytes proliferation and migration, and altered vascular endothelial mediators. The current treatment for diabetic wound includes wound patches, oxygenation therapy, hydrogel patches, gene therapy, laser therapy, and stem cell therapy. Medications with phytoconstituents is also one way to manage diabetic wound, but it is not more effective for quick healing. The objective of this review is to understand the potential of various management options which are available for diabetic wound, with a special focus on biological cells.

Background: Wound healing is a complex process necessary for repairing damaged tissues and preventing infection. Selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) were known due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, also niacin has angiogenesis and antioxidant effects that are important in wound healing. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of Se NPs and niacin in reducing and accelerating the wound healing time in mice. Methods: A simple wet chemical method has been modified to synthesize Se NPs in order to investigate their effect and niacin on reducing the wound healing in 80 adult female albino mice (250 mm2 full thickness open excision wound) that were divided into eight groups (10 mice/each). After 30-days, the mice were sacrificed, blood and tissue samples were taken for analysis. Results: The results showed that the percentage of wound area had been significantly reduced in Se NPs and niacin treated groups compared to the positive control. The level of Vascular Endothelial cell Growth Factor and Collagenase I in Se NPs and niacin groups significantly exceed those of other groups while Nitric Oxide (NO) was significantly decreased in treated groups. Liver and kidney functions showed the lower toxicity effect of Se NPs and niacin. Skin tissue showed the wound healing effect of Se NPs and niacin by regenerating skin layer compared to the positive group. Conclusion: Se NPs and niacin play an important role in accelerating and reducing the time of wound healing while they were antagonistic to each other.
