Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the major complications among diabetic patients. Several studies have shown that the extract of Teucrium polium (T. polium) is effective in the treatment of diabetic and non-diabetic wounds, as well as burn wounds. The aim of current study was to assess the wound healing activity of T. polium extract ointment in diabetic rats. Sixty-four male Wistar rats were induced diabetes with alloxan injection (125 mg/kg) and surgical wound induced. The rats were divided into 8 groups of eight rats each: control group, eucerin group, phenytoin group, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 10% T. polium groups. The ointment was dressed on the wound twice a day. The process of wound healing was screened by macroscopy and digitalization on days 14 and 21 and until complete wound healing. There was no infection in the wounds of rats in any groups. The process of wounds healing of the 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, and 10% T. polium ointments, with phenytoin ointment and base ointment (eucerin) on day 14 and 21, showed that the significant difference between the treatment groups with 4% (P = 0.003), 5% (P = 0.001), 10% (P = 0.001) T. polium ointment and phenytoin ointment group (P = 0.001) compared to eucerin group. The results of this study showed that T. polium extract ointment with a 10% ointment accelerates the wound healing process in diabetic rats and is comparable to the phenytoin group.

Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is still a health problem related to the extent amount of time in wound healing process hence increasing the treatment cost. Given any methods that are not sat-isfying, encourage the search of other methods that would increase the wound healing rate, in which hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is amongst them. The DFU patient that receives HBOT shows a significant increase in angiogenesis process markedly by faster epithelialization and granulation process. This study was aimed to prove that HBOT could accelerate the wound healing process among DFU patients measured by wound size and depth of PEDIS score. This was a ran-domized controlled trial study, conducted at Surgery Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Gen-eral Hospital from September 2018 to March 2019. There were 20 DFU patients divided into two groups, each of 10 patients. The control group received a holistic treatment, meanwhile the HBOT group received a holistic treatment added with the inclusion of HBOT. PEDIS score assessment of DFU in HBOT group was measured before and after the third HBOT session, meanwhile the con-trol group was measured on the first and the third day. The results showed that the difference in PEDIS score value was markedly found in HBOT group compared to the control group (2 vs. 0, P=0.001). Conclusion: HBOT could enhance the wound healing process in DFU patients based on the declined PEDIS score.Keywords: HBOT, PEDIS score, diabetic foot ulcerAbstrak: Ulkus kaki diabetik (UKD) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan terkait proses penyembuhan lama sehingga biaya pengobatan meningkat. Belum adanya metode penanganan yang memuaskan, mendorong pencarian metode percepatan penyembuhan luka, salah satunya ialah terapi oksigen hiperbarik (TOHB). Penderita UKD yang menjalani tambahan TOHB diketahui mengalami peningkatan proses angiogenesis yang menghasilkan proses epitelialisasi dan granulasi yang lebih cepat. Tujuan penelitian ialah untuk membuktikan bahwa TOHB dapat mempercepat proses penyembuhan UKD, dinilai berdasarkan ukuran dan kedalaman luka melalui skor PEDIS. Penelitian ini menggunakan randomized controlled trial dan dilaksanakan di Bagian Bedah RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado sejak September 2018 sampai dengan Maret 2019. Subyek penelitian sebanyak 20 penderita UKD, dibagi dalam dua kelompok, masing-masing 10 penderita. Kelompok kontrol menjalani penanganan holistik UKD, sedangkan kelompok TOHB menjalani penanganan holistik UKD dengan TOHB. Penilaian skor PEDIS terhadap UKD pada kelompok TOHB dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah TOHB sesi ke-3, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol dilakukan penilaian pada hari ke-1 dan hari ke-3 sesudahnya. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa perubahan skor PEDIS yang terjadi antara kedua pengukuran terlihat lebih besar pada kelompok TOHB dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (2 vs 0, P=0,001). Simpulan. TOHB mempercepat proses penyembuhan UKD dinilai dari penurunan skor PEDIS.Kata kunci: TOHB, skor PEDIS, ulkus kaki diabetik

While virulence factors and the biofilm-forming capabilities of microbes are the key regulators of the wound healing process, the host immune response may also contribute in the events following wound closure or exacerbation of non-closure. We examined samples from diabetic and non-diabetic foot ulcers/wounds for microbial association and tested the microbes for their antibiotic susceptibility and ability to produce biofilms. A total of 1074 bacterial strains were obtained with staphylococci, Pseudomonas, Citrobacter and enterococci as major colonizers in diabetic samples. Though non-diabetic samples had a similar assemblage, the frequency of occurrence of different groups of bacteria was different. Gram-negative bacteria were found to be more prevalent in the diabetic wound environment while Gram-positive bacteria were predominant in non-diabetic ulcers. A higher frequency of monomicrobial infection was observed in samples from non-diabetic individuals when compared to samples from diabetic patients. The prevalence of different groups of bacteria varied when the samples were stratified according to age and sex of the individuals. Several multidrug-resistant strains were observed among the samples tested and most of these strains produced moderate to high levels of biofilms. The weakened immune response in diabetic individuals and synergism among pathogenic micro-organisms may be the critical factors that determine the delicate balance of the wound healing process.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication in diabetic patients and lead to high morbidity and mortality. Numerous dressings have been developed to facilitate wound healing of DFUs. This study investigated the wound healing efficacy of silver-releasing foam dressings versus silver-containing cream in managing outpatients with DFUs. Sixty patients with Wagner Grade 1 to 2 DFUs were recruited. The treatment group received silver-releasing foam dressing (Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive Foam dressing; Coloplast, Humlebaek, Denmark). The control group received 1% silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream. The ulcer area in the silver foam group was significantly reduced compared with that in the SSD group after four weeks of treatment (silver foam group: 76.43 ± 7.41%, SSD group: 27.00 ± 4.95%, p < 0.001). The weekly wound healing rate in the silver foam group was superior to the SSD group during the first three weeks of treatment (p < 0.05). The silver-releasing foam dressing is more effective than SSD in promoting wound healing of DFUs. The effect is more pronounced in the initial three weeks of the treatment. Thus, silver-releasing foam could be an effective wound dressing for DFUs, mainly in the early period of wound management.

The diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is an invariably common complication of diabetes mellitus, it is also a significant cause of amputation as well as extended hospitalization. As most patients with DFU suffer from malnutrition, which has been related to improper metabolic micronutrients status, alterations can affect impaired wound healing process. Micronutrients and herbal remedies applications present a wide range of health advantages to patients with DFU. The purpose of this review is to provide current evidence on the potential effect of dietary supplementations such as vitamins A, C, D, E, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, boron, and such naturally occurring compounds as Aloe vera, Naringin, and Radix Astragali (RA) and Radix Rehmanniae (RR) in the administration of lower extremity wounds, especially in DFU, and to present some insights for applications in the treatment of DFU patients in the future.

The prevalence of cesarean section (SC) continues to increase along with the quality of technical facilities improvement. Failure to recover the surgical wounds after cesarean section is one of the possible SC complications that should be taken seriously. Proper nutrition greatly affect to wound healing. This study aims to found the effectiveness of high protein nutrients intake for post SC wound healing process at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital Banda Aceh. Design: This study is an experimental research with post test for intervention and control group design and using purposive sampling with the observation format as the measuring instrument. A total of 30 mother with post sectio caesarea participated in this study. There was a significant difference between post-SC wound healing in the intervention group (46.7%) compare to the control group (6.7%) (0.000). The mean of wound healing in the proliferation phase in the intervention group was faster than the control group respectively (10.47; 7.93). The hospital should provide information and evaluate high protein intake especially in post-SC patients during the treatment time, so that the patient is able to apply the information until they are going back home.

Introduction: The incidence of acute and chronic injuries increases every year. Most injuries in the world population, as many as 48%, are caused by trauma or surgery. the highest incidence of wounds in the world based on the etiology was from surgery, which was 110.30 million cases. One of the handlings of wounds on the skin can be done by giving herbal medicines, which can be easily accessed by the public, such as binahong leaves and papaya leaves. Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of giving 40% binahong leaf extract cream and 40% papaya leaf extract cream on the wound distance in the white rat wound healing process. Method: this study is an experimental study with post-test only control group design approach. The sampling technique used in this study was a random sampling method where the number of samples was calculated using the Federer formula, with a total sample of 28 white rats. The distance of the wound was measured using a micrometer. Results: Twenty-eight wound distance on rats were measured as subjects of the study and then treated with binahong leaf extract cream and papaya leaf extract cream, then the wound distance of each treatment was measured using a micrometer. According to the results, 40% binahong leaf extract cream and 40% papaya leaf extract cream showed better effectiveness in reducing the wound distance of white rat incision than the negative control group (cream base) and positive control group (gentamicin ointment). According to the Mann Whitney test comparing the P1 group (40% binahong leaf extract cream) and P2 (40% papaya leaf extract cream), p-value >0.05, which is 0.543, which means that P1 has no significant mean difference with P2. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in effectiveness between the treatment of 40% binahong leaf extract cream and 40% papaya leaf extract cream.

Domestic chicken eggshells contain calcium and protein that could be useful in wound healing process. This research was conducted to determine whether domestic chicken eggshells can accelerate wound healing. Twenty one male Swiss-Webster mice  with 2 cm incision were divided into 3 groups. Negative control group were given Carboxymethyl cellulose 1% (CMC), positive control group were given feracrylum 1% (FER), and the eggshells group given domestic chicken eggshells powder (KT). Treatment and data mesurement was measured every day until  the 7th day. On the 7th  day the average length of the wound were analyzed and the skin tissue is taken for microscopic examination. Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Post Hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD) with p=0,05. On macroscopic examination, there were  highly significant differences between KT compared to CMC and highly significant differences between KT compared to FER. the average length of wound on the 7th day on KT 0,63 cm shorter than CMC 1,07 (p=0,000) and FER 0,81 cm (p=0,003). On microscopic examination, the degree of reepithelization on KT groups are severe, moderate for collagen density, fibroblasts density, subepithelial neutrophil density, degree of edema, and mild for angiogenesis. We conclude domestic chicken eggshells powder can accelerate wound healing. Key words: domestic chicken eggshells, incision wound, wound healing

The use of a simple and reproducible model is inevitable for objective statement of the effects of external factors on wound healing. Hence, present study was conducted to establish an excisional model of skin wound healing in corticosteroid treated, and streptozotocine induced diabetic rats as well as to standardized the semi-quantitative and quantitative evaluation of selected parameters. Round full thickness skin wounds were performed on the back of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals were sacrificed two, six, and fourteen days after surgery. Sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and van Gieson. Both semi-quantitative (wound reepithelization; presence of: inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, new wessels, and collagen) and quantitative methods (polymorphonuclear leucocytes/tissue macrophages ratio, percentage of re-epithelization, area of the granulation tissue) were used to evaluate the histological changes during wound healing. As compared to the control group the wound healing process of both experimental groups was decelerated. Interestingly, wound reepithelization and angiogenesis were significantly inhibited only in the steroid rats while epithelization was accelerated in diabetic rats. In conclusion, when compared to primary sutured wound healing it can be concluded that the excisional model is more appropriate for histological assessment of the effect of various factors on wound healing. In addition, administration of corticosteroids represents simple and inexpensive model of a complex skin wound healing impairment.
