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...

introduction: different modalities have been used to achieve better results in wound healing among which are laser and pharmacological agents. to our knowledge, there is no investigation to compare phenytoin and laser together. in this study, we aimed to evaluate laser and phenytoin efficacy and compare their effect on wound healing. methods: we used 60 rats. the animals were divided into 4 gro...

surgical wound infections are usually encountered due to the endogenous rather than the exogenousinfective sources. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a distant inoculated infective source on the contamination of surgical wounds. thirty white new zealand rabbits divided randomly into three control and three treatment equal groups. in treatment groups 24 hrs before surgica...

Despite the prevalence of different kinds of wounds among people around the world, challenges ahead for managing wound healing continues. One of the most important issues for wound healing is infection that can delay healing process. Also, drug-resistant infections are growing as a worrying challenge in medicine. A lot of studies done over different methods to improve wound healing process, whi...

abstract background: pressure ulcer is one of the main concerns of nurses in medical centers around the world, which, if untreated, causes irreparable problems for patients. in recent years, nitric oxide (no) has been proposed as an effective method for wound healing. this study was conducted to determine the effect of nitric oxide on pressure ulcer healing. materials and methods: in this clini...

Kojic acid and deferiprone are iron chelators used for skin lightening and iron-overload treatment, respectively. As iron chelation and free radical scavenging are principal factors for wound healing, it was hypothesised that the local application of these compounds might accelerate wound healing in rats. Ointments of 3%, 6% and 9% of deferiprone and kojic acid were prepared and topical treatme...

Oxidative stress is widely recognized as an important factor in the delayed wound healing in diabetes. However, the role of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in this process is unknown. It was assumed that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species are involved in many wound-healing processes in both diabetic humans and animals. We have applied the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant 10-(6'-plasto...

objective: to assess the effects of platelet rich plasma (prp) with chitosan biodegradable film on full thickness wound healing in rat. methods: this was an experimental study being performed in 2015 during a 4-month period. twenty-four male white wistar rats were divided into four groups of 12 rats each, randomly: control group (sham) with creation of wounds and no treatment, prp group with cr...

Wound healing is a biological process directed to the restoration of tissue that has suffered an injury. An important phase of wound healing is the generation of a basal epithelium able to wholly replace the epidermis of the wound. A broad range of products derived from fibroin and sericin from Bombyx mori silk are used to stimulate wound healing. However, so far the molecular mechanism underly...

Asthma is a disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction. An additional hallmark of chronic asthma is altered wound healing that leads to airway remodeling. Although beta-agonists are effective in treating the bronchospasm associated with asthma, their effects on airway wound healing, which are related to airway remodeling, are unknown. It has been demonstrated that beta-agonists can ...
