The study was conducted to compare the efficacy of Calotropis gigantea leaves extract ointment and Balanites aegyptiaca roots extract ointment in management of wound healing in bovine. The study was undertaken on the clinical cases of wounds presented at Veterinary Clinic, PGIVAS, Akola. A total 12 clinical cases of bovine with lacerated wounds were divided into two groups, comprising of six animals each. Ethanolic extract ointments of C. gigantea and B. aegyptiaca 10% w/w were clinically evaluated for wound healing activity. Clinical observations such as hemorrhages, swelling, colour of wound, exudation, pain, pus formation and irritation were recorded on every alternate day. Wound contraction was measured on 0, 7th, 14th and 21st day. The quality of wound healing was measured on the basis of percent wound contraction. From the observation of clinical study C. gigantea leaf extract ointment showed better wound contraction than B. aegyptiaca roots extract ointment.

The leaves ofCarapa guianensishave been used to treat ulcers, skin parasites, and skin problems. The ethanolic extract ofC. guianensisleaf was evaluated for its antibacterial and wound healing activity using excision, incision and dead space wound models in rats. The animals were randomly divided into two groups (n= 6) in all the models. In the excision wound model test group animals were treated topically with the leaf extract (250 mg kg−1body weight) whereas, control animals were treated with petroleum jelly. In the incision and dead space wound models, the test group animals were treated with extract (250 mg kg−1day−1) orally by mixing in drinking water and the control group animals were maintained with plain drinking water. Healing was assessed by the rate of wound contraction, period of epithelialization, skin breaking strength, granulation tissue weight and hydoxyproline content. On Day 15 extract-treated animals exhibited 100% reduction in the wound area when compared to controls (95%) with significant decrease in the epithelialization period. The extract failed to demonstrate antibacterial activity. Skin breaking strength (P< .001), wet (P< .002) and dry (P< .02) granulation tissue and hydroxyproline content (P< .03) were significantly higher in extract treated animals. The increased rate of wound contraction, skin breaking strength and hydroxyproline content supports potential application ofC. guianensisin wound healing.

BACKGROUND -This study undertaken to screen a potential wound healing activity of an ethanolic extract of Anacardiumoccidentale(Ao)leaves in Wistar rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS-Excision wound of 500mm2created on the back of Wistar rats. A total of thirty adult Wistar rats were prescreened and divided into five groups of six rats each.Group I and II rats were treated by normal saline (control) and povidone-iodine (standard drug), respectively. Group III and IV with 0.5% and 2%of Anacardiumoccidentale ointment (test drugs), respectively, and Group V rats treated with anti-wound healer drug dexamethasone, i.m. + 2% Anacardiumoccidentale. All drugs were applied topically except Inj. dexamethasone. In the model of excision wound, the wound healing effect was determined by parameters such as the percentage of wound contraction, duration of epithelialization, and histopathological examination. RESULT-All drugs, povidone-iodine, 0.5%, and 2% of the Ao ointment treated group of rats showed a statistically significant increase (P<0.05) in the % of wound contraction on 5th and 6thdays Vs.Control rats. In contrast,povidone-iodine, 2% Ao ointment and (dexamethasone + 2% Ao)treated rats decreased the period of epithelialization which was statistically significant (P<0.05) compared to the control.However, the standard povidone-iodine treated rats showed a maximum increase in the percentage of wound contraction and minimum period of epithelialization, followed by a higher dose of 2% Ao extract. The plant extract 0.5% and 2% of Ao showeda significant increase inthe rate of wound contraction as compared to the standard drug povidone-iodine also. The combination of (2%Aoextract+dexamethasone) drug-treated rats decreased the rate of wound contraction on 5th, 9th days; whereas, povidone-iodine increased on all days, i.e., 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th days,which was statistically significant (p<0.05) Vs.Normal saline. The povidone and 2% of Ao extract hastened the rate of wound healing activity, which was evident by maximum re-epithelialization and presence of the collagen fibers. CONCLUSION-In our study, the topical application of Anacardiumoccidentale leaf extract has shown promising wound healing activity; however, it failed to reverse the anti-wound healing property of steroids.

The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of wound healing activity of the whole plant of Momordica charantia Linn. in rats. The effect of aqueous ethanolic extract of Momordica charantia Linn. (Family; Cucurbetaceae) was evaluated on resutured incision, granuloma pouch and excision wound models in rats. The wound healing activity was measured by the rate of wound contraction, skin breaking strength, weight of the granulation tissue, and collagen content. The concentrated ethyl alcohol extract was subject to fractionation by using petroleum ether (40-60o V/V), solvent ether, ethyl acetate, butanol, butanone, ethanol and methanol in succession. All the fractions were screened for wound healing property. The results of pharmacological activity led to the conclusion that the petroleum ether fraction exhibited more significant wound healing promotion property followed by solvent ether and butanone, from all the parameters studied. Ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol fractions were least effective.

The present experimental study was designed to evaluate the wound healing activity of methanolic extract of Smilax wightii A. DC. on incision and excision wound models in Wistar albino rats. The parameters studied were wound breaking strength, wound contraction area, epithelialization period, granulation tissuewet, dry weight and hydroxyproline content in incision wound model, percentage of wound contraction and period of epithelialization in excision wound model. The rats were administered topically with 100mg/kg b.wt. (low dosage), 200mg/kg b.wt. (moderate dosage) and 500mg/kg b.wt. (high dosage) of methanolicextract of Smilax wightii (MESW). The activity of the extract treated groups were compared with that of the control 1% Spirit. Framycetin sulphate 0.2% w/w was used as the standard drug. In incision wound model, there was a significant increase in the wound breaking strength in all the experimental groups treated withMESW than that of the control. Similarly, significant (P<0.001) decrease in wound contraction area and period of epithelialization were also observed in the test group animals treated with MESW and the standard drug treated groups when compared to that of the control. , a significant increase was observed in granulation tissue wet and dry weight and hydroxyproline content in the test groups treated with MESW compared to the control. In exicision wound model, there was a significant increase (P<0.01) in the percentage of wound contraction and decrease in period of epithelialization in the experimental groups treated with 200mg/kgb.wt. (moderate dosage) and 500mg/kgb.wt (high dosage) of MESW. The extract treated groups showed significant improvement in all the wound healing parameters of incision, and excision wound models.

Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronquist (CCL) has been used by K’Ho minority in Bidoup Nui Ba national park, Lam Dong province, Vietnam as one of wound healing remedies. However, the scientific proof of treatment is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate this wound healing potential of CCL. CCL power was extracted by ethanol and then partitioned consecutively with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and water. Wound healing potential was evaluated by antibacterial activity, stimulation of fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation. Agar-well diffusion was used in the antibacterial tests and the results showed that CCL had antibacterial activity against 02 dermatitis bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus) and 02 opportunistic infection bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis). Moreover, our results illustrated that CCL stimulated the fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation compared to the control. Particularly, the fibroblast division increased 1.6 times at 31.25 µg/mL when treated by ethanolic extract, while ethyl acetate fraction showed 1.7 times increase at 10 µg/mL in keratinocyte proliferation compared to the control. Taken together, our study contributed scientific base of CCL in the wound healing.

Objective: The current research is an attempt to evaluate the wound healing activity of Electrohomeopathic drug Green electricity (GE) in Wistar rats. No data have been reported till date on the wound healing effect of GE. Hence the present research focuses on the scientific investigation of the wound healing activity of GE in rats. Methods: Excision and incision wounds were inflicted upon albino rats. In the excision wound model, the wound contraction, Scar residue, area and time of complete epithelization were measured subsequently on day 0, 3,6,9,12,15, 18 and 21 after inflicting the wound. Wound contraction was calculated as a percentage change in the initial wound size. In the incision wound model, the tensile strength was measured on the 10th post wounding day. Results: It was noted that the effect produced by the GE Showed significant wound healing (p<0.01) in all wound models when compared to the control group. In the case of the excision model, GE statistically increases the wound contraction rate and in the case of the incision model GE showed high tensile strength as compared to the control group. In both cases the epithelization period was significantly decreased as compared to control. Almost 100% wound protection was achieved by GE in 21 d as compared to control. Conclusion: GE (ointment) showed significant wound healing activity (p<0.01) in both the excised wound model and incision wound model in rats.
