Background: To investigated the effect of earthworm extract (EE) on deep second-degree burn wound healing process.

In a previous study, the authors found persistent presence of acute inflammation markers such as C-reactive protein and complement factors locally in burn wounds. This persistence of acute inflammation may not only delay local burn wound healing but also have a systemic effect, for instance on the heart. Here, the effects of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1inh), an inhibitor of complement activation, ...

Mast cells play a significant role in the late stage of wound healing following burn injuries. In the present study, the possible role of mast cell chymase in burn wound healing was examined using a mast cell membrane stabilizer, ketotifen, in hamsters. A total of 28 hamsters were randomly divided into two groups (n=14), termed as the control and ketotifen groups. A deep partial-thickness burn ...

Lucilia sericata maggots have beneficial properties; however, their protective effects on burn wounds have yet to be fully elucidated. In the present study, a deep second‑degree burn rat model was used to investigate the burn wound healing properties of aqueous extract of maggots (MAE). The anti‑inflammatory, antioxidative and antibacterial activities were examined. In addition, the protein exp...
