In some cases of chronic ulcers of soft tissue cannot be treated by conventional treatment methods. In recent years some alternative methods have been proposed for treatment of such ulcers on the basis of Traditional Iranian (Persian) Medicine. This reports a case of chronic ulcer treatment by using <em>Aloe vera</em> gel. The ulcer was caused by car accident and in spite of using conventional treatment the injury remained for 60 days without appropriate response to therapy. Because of stopping in healing process by Aloe vera gel, this was discontinued and potassium permanganate has been used. After drying the ulcer using the alternative method of <em>Aloe vera</em> gel and potassium permanganate together has been applied and then the <em>Aloe vera</em> gel was used until the complete healing of ulcer. The delayed healing process of <em>Aloe vera</em> gel raise the question whether it is solely effective in complete healing of chronic ulcer or requires adjuvant therapies. Although <em>Aloe vera</em> is effective in healing process of chronic ulcer but sometimes it may be ineffective so that we are obliged to use potassium permanganate as an adjuvant drug which is presented by this case report.

NSAIDs-induced intestinal damage is one of the most common adverse effects by medication. Here, we suggest processed Aloe vera gel treatment as a potential strategy to attenuate NSAID-induced intestinal damage via enhancing mucin expression.

Background: Researches on applying ice gel and aloe vera gel compress to reduce perineal wound pain scale after childbirth has been widely studied and proven effective. However,  the effectiveness of using both has not been studied.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness differences of ice gel and aloe vera gel in reducing the intensity of perineal wound pain.Methods: It applied a quasi-experimental research design. The population was 116 post-partum mothers, a sample of 56 mothers with sutured perineal wounds grade II, divided into two groups of intervention (aloe vera gel compress) and control (ice gel compress), with a consecutive sampling technique. The pain before and after the intervention was observed and analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Maan Whitney tests.Result: The mean reduction in pain scale in the group with the aloe vera gel treatment was more than that in another group with ice gel treatment, with a mean difference of 2.46 and 1.61. The statistical analysis results showed a significant difference in pain relief between the two groups, p<0.05.Conclusion: The aloe vera gel compresses are more effective than the ice gel compresses in reducing the scale of perineal pain after childbirth.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of some postharvest treatments on shelf life and quality of mango. Experiment was conducted at the BAU Germplasm centre, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during May to July, 2013. Two treatments viz. Aloe vera and Chitosan solution were used for this study. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to observe the post-harvest performance of mango with three replications. The fruits were divided into three grades eg. large, medium and small for the convenience of the experiment. In each group mango were treated with Aloe vera gel and Chitosan solution in three different concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5%. Amropali cultivar had the highest shelf life (7days) at 1.5% Aloe vera gel treatment to the large size mangoes at room temperature compare to other sizes and treatments. Nearly, similar effect was obtained from 1.5% Aloe vera gel to the medium size fruits than other treatments. 1.5% Chitosan showed the second best result in case of shelf life extension followed by 1% Chitosan solution.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(2): 279-286, August 2016

Background: The oral administration route is still the most preferred by patients for drug treatment, but is unfortunately not suitable for all drug compounds. For example, protein and peptide drugs (e.g. insulin) are typically administered via injection seeing as they are unstable in the gastrointestinal luminal environment and have poor membrane permeation properties. To overcome this problem, functional excipients such as drug absorption enhancers can be co-administered. Although Aloe vera gel has the ability to improve the permeation of drugs across the intestinal epithelium, its drug permeation enhancing effect has not been investigated in the different regions of the gastrointestinal tract yet. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the insulin permeation enhancing effects of A. vera gel material across excised pig intestinal tissues from different regions of the gastrointestinal tract and to identify the gastrointestinal region where the highest insulin permeation enhancement was achieved. : Insulin transport across excised pig intestinal tissues from the duodenum, proximal jejunum, medial jejunum, distal jejunum, ileum and colon was measured in the absence and presence of A. vera gel (0.5% w/v) using both the Sweetana-Grass diffusion chamber and everted sac techniques. Results: The insulin permeation results obtained from both ex vivo techniques showed varied permeation enhancing effects of A. vera gel as a function of the different regions of the gastrointestinal tract. The colon was identified as the gastrointestinal region where A. vera gel was the most effective in terms of insulin permeation enhancement in the Sweetana-Grass diffusion chamber technique with a Papp value of 5.50 x 10-7 cm.s-1, whereas the ileum was the region where the highest permeation enhancement occurred in the everted sac technique with a Papp value of 5.45 x 10-7 cm.s-1. Conclusion: The gastrointestinal permeation enhancing effects of A. vera gel on insulin is region specific with the highest effect observed in the ileum and colon.
