Factors involved in wound healing and their interdependence are not yet fully understood; nevertheless, new prospects for therapy to favor speedy and optimal healing are emerging. Reports about wound healing modulation by local application of simple and natural agents abound even in the recent literature, however, most are anecdotal and lack solid scientific evidence. We describe the effect of ...

A desired ointment bases for better treatment of bedsores was developed to improve the release rate of minocycline hydrochloride (MH) and the water absorption capacity using various types of hydrophobic to hydrophilic ointment base. The influence of purified lanolin (PL) on the release behavior of MH from hydrophilic ointment (HO) base was primarily focused on. It was found that the release rat...

Modification to find the best physicochemical properties of minocycline hydrochloride ointment for optimum treatment of bedsore was investigated by coformulating various types of cyclodextrins (CyD) in the ointment base. It was found that the drug release rate from the ointment base was modified according to the preparation method of ointment base and the type of CyD admixed. The physicochemica...

background: in leishmaniasis, some drugs prescribed for treatment have toxic ef-fects and there are reports about drug resistance in some countries. due to this fact, using herbal drugs such as artemisinin with good efficacy and low toxic effect might be suitable. methods: we evaluated the apoptotic effect of artemisinin on leishmania major in vitro and the antileishmanial activities of artemis...

Tranilast (TL), an antiallergic agent, has been clinically used in the treatment of bronchial asthma, although its clinical use has been limited by its poor solubility in water, photodegradation and systemic side effects. In this study, we prepared a gel ointment containing TL nanoparticles (TLnano gel ointment), and investigated its usefulness. In addition, we demonstrated the preventive effec...

IntRoductIon Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) remains a challenge in clinical practice, and there are no internationally agreed specific therapies.[1] Severe AP typically presents with epigastric pain, abdominal distention, vomiting, and constipation at the early stage and is similar to the Yangming-Fushi syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Chinese herbal ointment Liu-He-Dan (LHD)...

Sir, Urticarias unresponsive to antihistamines are frustrating for both physicians and patients. In severe cases, steroids or cyclosporine may be needed.[1] This retrospective observation highlights the potential of warfarin in managing chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). halobetasol ointment (P = 0.005), clobetasol ointment and halobetasol ointment (P = 0.015) and halobetasol cream and halobet...
