Aqueous extract of the roots of Radix paeoniae (Paeonaceae) was screened for wound healing by excision, incision and dead space wound models on Wistar rats. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialisation and wound contraction in case of excision wound and granulation tissue dry weight, breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in case of dead spac...

Achillea species are widely used for diarrhea, abdominal pain, stomachache and healing of wounds in folk medicine. To evaluate the wound healing activity of the plant, extracts were prepared with different solvents; hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol, respectively from the roots of Achillea biebersteinii. Linear incision by using tensiometer and circular excision wound models were e...

The present manuscript was mainly focused to evaluate the multiherbal formulation PACT (containing extracts of Pongamia pinnata Linn., Artocarpus lakoocha, Cynodon dactylon Pers. and Tridax procumbens Linn.) for wound healing potential employing two common wound models i.e. excision wound and incision wound models. The wound contraction area and epithelialization period was measured in excision...

Ethanolic extract of leaves of O. sanctum was investigated for normal wound healing and dexamethasone depressed healing using incision, excision and dead space wound models in albino rats. The extract of O. sanctum significantly increased the wound breaking strength in incision wound model. The extract treated wounds were found to epithelialize faster and the rate of wound contraction was signi...

The wound healing effect of alcoholic extract of Kaempferia galanga (K. galanga) and its effect in dexamethasone suppressed wound healing was studied in Wistar rats. Three wound models viz. incision, excision and dead space wounds were used in this study. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialization and wound contraction in case of excision wound a...

Glycyrrhiza glabra extract is gaining increasing acceptance as a folk remedy for treatment of wound. We studied the effect of its extract on wound tensile strength in albino rats. 20 male albino rats had a linear 3 cm incision made over skin of back. The animals were randomly divided into two experimental groups, as control and treatment. Animals of control group received topical cold cream onc...

Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad. & Wendl. (Family-Solanaceae), commonly known as Yellow-Berried Nightshade, fruits are used traditionally in the folklore for treatment of various kinds of wounds. The present study was undertaken to verify the effects of its fruits on experimentally induced excision and incision wound models in Sprague Dowlay rats. Aloe vera Linn. was used as standard wound healing ...

OBJECTIVE To develop topical gel preparations of astemizole and terfenadine and to investigate the actions of the gels on the healing of incision and excision wounds in male albino rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gels containing 1% astemizole, with varying concentrations of carbopol 934 (polymer), were prepared. Similarly, 1% terfenadine gels were made. The formulations were evaluated for release...

The different extracts of the bark of Tecoma stans Linn. (Bignoniaceae) was evaluated for its wound healing potential in two different types of wound models in albino rats viz., incision and excision. The different extracts of Tecoma stans are obtained by successive soxhlet extraction with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol. The methanolic extract showed significant increase in wound cont...
