-------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUMMARY. The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the efficacy of moist exposed bum ointment (MEBO) on epithelial tissue repair and to assess the debriding effect of partial-thickness bum wounds, compared with other local agents commonly used. Eighty bum wounds on ten Ladrace-Pietrenne youngi pigs were ...

Flavonoids are a diverse group of plant secondary metabolites, known to reduce inflammatory bowel disease symptoms. How they achieve this is largely unknown. Our study focuses on the gut epithelium as it receives high topological doses of dietary constituents, maintains gut homeostasis, and orchestrates gut immunity. Dysregulation leads to chronic gut inflammation, via dendritic cell (DC)-drive...

Effective wound closure mechanisms are essential for maintenance of epithelial structure and function. The repair of wounded epithelia is primarily driven by the cells bordering the wound, which become motile after wounding, forming dynamic actin protrusions along the wound edge. The molecular mechanisms that trigger wound edge cells to become motile following tissue damage are not well underst...

background and aims: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common ulcerative diseases of the oral mucosa. definitive etiology of ras has not been conclusively established. there is no certain treatment for aphthous but some drugs such as steroid are commonly used for treatment of ras. regarding the effect of zinc on healing process of epithelial layer and cell division, in this...

conclusions stem cell therapies in wound care may lessen the morbidities associated with wound healing. an ideal method for the effective administration of stem cells for burn patients has not yet been elucidated. further comparison of the local and systemic effects in burn patients, associated with each route of stem cell delivery, needs to be performed. results application of cells to the bur...

Skin wound healing is a vital process that is important for re-establishing the epithelial barrier following disease or injury. Aberrant or delayed skin wound healing increases the risk of infection, causes patient morbidity, and may lead to the formation of scar tissue. One of the most important events in wound healing is coverage of the wound with a new epithelial layer. This occurs when kera...

Type II pneumocytes are essential for repair of the injured alveolar epithelium. The effect of two MMP collagenases, MMP-1 and MMP-13 on alveolar epithelial repair was studied in vitro. The A549 alveolar epithelial cell line and primary rat alveolar epithelial cell cultures were used. Cell adhesion and cell migration were measured with and without exogenous MMP-1. Wound healing of a cell monola...

Abstract Background A wound may define as an interruption within the continuity of epithelial lining skin or mucosa that occurs a result physical thermal damage. Wound healing is intricate process highly synchronized censorious in management protective means skin. There are variety systemic and local factors influence healing, including oxygenation, inflammation, age, stress, diabetes, nutritio...
