Wounds are nothing but any damage to the tissue or skin that can be healed. The wound healing process is usually built in the human body to self heal many wounds. When there is an injury in the body, there is an inflammatory response that is generated in the body, and the cells begin to raise the collagen levels in the skin which enables to increase the healing process. Ficus species of plants are famous for their potency to treat diseases in various Indian systems of medicine and the tree is commonly called as a banyan. Especially the plant in the species benghalensis is used to treat rheumatism, wounds and other skin related problems like an ulcer. The herbal gels were prepared using the incorporation of the aqueous extracts of the plant Ficus benghalensis into carbopol gel. They were investigated for the wound healing potential compared to the betadine drug standard. The gels at a concentration 200mg/g of the gel showed better activity compared to the gel at 100mg/g and the standard drug, betadine.

Wound healing has been the burning problem in a surgical practice because of a remarkable increase in the number of traumatic cases. A wound causes a number of changes in the body that can affect the healing process, including changes in energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin and mineral metabolism. Various Ayurveda literatures, particularly, Sushruta Samhita, which is said to be an ancient textbook of surgery in Ayurveda, has mentioned about the diet for the person suffering from the wound, and the author said that diet plays a very important role in the wound healing process. Sushruta - The father of surgery has scientifically classified it in a systemic manner, whose wealth of clinical material and the principles of management are valid even today. Shalya Tantra (surgical branch in Ayurveda Science) is one of the important branch of Ayurveda, in which surgical and para-surgical techniques has described for management of various diseases. Vrana is the most important and widely described chapter of Shalya Tantra. Vrana (wound) is one of them, which have been managed by human being from starting of civilization. Under the circumstances, the first thing which the men came across was the injury from different sources which caused him the Vrana. Vrana is seen as debilitating and scaring disorder, usually seen affecting the human being at any age. Well balanced nutrition plays an essential role in the wound healing.

Wound healing entails a sequence of complex biological processes, which is a protective function of the body that focuses on a quick recovery. Reducing wound healing time is crucial in a wound as it lowers the chance of infection and decreases complications and costs. Papaya extract was obtained by a maceration method. It contains papain enzyme, flavonoid, saponin, and alkaloid, which act as an anti-inflammatory, astringent substance, vasodilator, antioxidant, analgesic, with antifungal, and antibacterial properties, and increase the collagen synthesis. This study aimed to assess the effect of Carica papaya extract application toward incised wound healing process in mice (Mus musculus) clinically and histologically. This experimental laboratory study was performed using 24 mice weighing between 30 and 40 grams and 12 and 14 weeks of age as experimental animals. Each group was incised along 5 mm at the labial gingiva under both of mandible anterior teeth with a depth reaching alveolar bone. Papaya extract was applied topically in the morning and evening for 14 days. The clinical result was obtained by assessing the length of wound closure measured every day for 14 days. Based on the statistic test result, it showed that the papaya extract has a significant effect (p≤0.05) toward the healing process of an incised oral wound in mice. Histologically at day 14, 75% concentration papaya extract showed perfect epithelial layer and fibrillation.

Chronic wounds occur when one wound healing process or a sequence of wound healing events are affected resulting in slow healing of the wound thereby placing the patient in deep pain. Various diseases and conditions can delay the process of wound healing. Wound healing can be classified into four main stages: hemostasis, inflammation, remodeling, and scar tissue formation with each phase overlapping one another. The skin is the largest organ in the body. It protects the entire external surface of the human body and is the primary site of interaction with the outside environment. There is therefore a need to fabricate an ideal dressing through scientific research and investigations. Hydrogels are a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers that can swell in water and absorb copious amounts of water while maintaining their structure because of their chemical or physical crosslinking of individual polymer chains. A hydrogel must be composed of at least 10% water. Hydrogels possess the flexibility and water percentage which is remarkably like tissues. They are biocompatible and biodegradable which makes them ideal for dermal wound healing.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by an increase in glucose levels in the blood due to disorders of glucose metabolism in the body. The pancreas organ of people with DM has a weakness in producing the hormone insulin. As a result, the distribution of blood glucose to other organs of the body is inhibited so that glucose levels in the blood increase which causes DM sufferers to experience longer wound healing than normal humans. Binahong leaves contain alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids which have antibacterial activity which can accelerate the wound healing process. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of binahong leaf extract ointment (Anredera cordifolia) against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria from diabetic wounds. This research includes antibacterial test for binahong leaf extract ointment (Anredera cordifolia) with variations in the concentration of 10%, 20%, and 30% of the concentration of binahong leaf extract of 25% which resulted in a wound coverage percentage of up to 100%, namely at 30% ointment concentration. The conclusion of this study is that there was no wound closure for negative control and positive control in the form of oxytetracycline, the percentage of wound closure was 85%.

Abstract Background and Purpose: Burns are one of the most common injuries. There are few medications to repair skin in burns. Although antibacterial drugs such as topical silver sulfadiazine may prevent wound infections, they usually can’t attenuate skin healing. Marshmallow is used in Iranian traditional medicine to improve skin burns. We aimed to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic and aqueous extract of Althaea officinalis on the histopathologic parameters of second- and third-degree burns in mice. Experimental approach: The mice were randomly divided into 9 groups (n=6) including control and treatment groups. Experimental second- and third-degree burns were induced on dorsal skin of the mice by a metal plate (2 cm in diameter) under general anesthesia. Control and treatment groups were treated twice daily for 21 days topically. Normal saline was used for control group and hydroalcoholic and aqueous extracts of Althaea officinalis in three concentrations (1%, 2% and 4%) were used for the treatment groups. All of the preparations were made in hydrogel base. Finally, the histopathological parameters of the burned skin including polymorphonuclear (PMN) migration, epithelialization, angiogenesis and collagenization were scored and total score of wound healing was calculated. Key Results: The findings showed that topical application of both hydroalcoholic and aqueous extracts of Althaea officinalis attenuates the wound healing process. they reduce PMN migration, collagenization, epithelialization and angiogenesis scores compared to control group. Conclusions & Implications: Althaea officinalis can be used as an adjunct medication to attenuate wound healing in skin burns.

Цель исследования - оценка возможности использования интегральных гематологических индексов для выбора оптимальной модели ушивания послеоперационных ран в эксперименте. Методика. Исследование проводили на 297 белых беспородных крысах-самцах массой 190-210 г, которые были разделены на 3 группы, по 99 крыс в каждой. Одна группа являлась контрольной, у второй группы крыс был смоделирован раневой процесс с натяжением брюшной стенки; у третьей группы животных - модель раневого процесса с применением трансплантата нанокомпозитного материала. Определяли следующие интегральные гематологические индексы: индекс Кребса; коэффициент Бредекка; лейкоцитарный индекс; индекс соотношения нейтрофилов и моноцитов; индекс соотношения лимфоцитов и моноцитов; индекс соотношения лимфоцитов и эозинофилов; коэффициент отношения альбуминов к глобулинам; оксипролиновый коэффициент. Результаты. Установлены статистически значимые колебания показателей интегральных гематологических индексов в динамике заживления послеоперационной раны у крыс. Заключение. На основе полученных результатов был сделан вывод, что особенности динамики интегральных гематологических индексов, выявленные на различных моделях раневого процесса, отражают неспецифические и специфические защитные реакции организма в целом, позволяют делать прогноз дальнейшего течения и исхода раневого процесса, а также обеспечивают возможность выбора оптимальной модели ушивания послеоперационной раны. The article presents results of predicting the wound healing process using integral hematological indexes. The aim of the study was to describe the dynamics of integral hematological indexes of wound healing process in rats to predict its outcome. The study included 297 white mongrel male rats weighing 190-210 g, which were divided into three groups, 99 rats in each. One group was a control group; in the second group, a wound healing process with abdominal wall tension was modeled; in the third group, a wound healing process with a graft was modeled. The following integrated hematological indexes were determined: Krebs index; Bredeck index; leukocyte index; neutrophil/monocyte ratio; lymphocyte/monocyte ratio; lymphocyte/eosinophil ratio; albumin/globulin ratio; and oxyproline coefficient. The study showed that changes in values of integral hematological indexes were mostly statistically and clinically significant. We concluded that changes in integral hematological indexes in different models of wound healing reflect nonspecific and specific protective responses of the body as a whole and allow to predict further course and outcome of the wound healing process.

: Chronic wound healing remains a complicated issue in the world's scientific health society. Alterations in the human body conditions such as biochemical, immunological, and physiological states may lead to non-healing wounds, making the treatment an insurmountably long and expensive procedure. Diabetes mellitus disposes the body to many complicated conditions while preventing diabetic wounds away from the normal wound-healing process. As topical administration is a favorable route of treating wounds, here, in this article, different topical materials and their roles are briefly reviewed.

Background: Wounds occur when normal skin structures are damaged. Injury events in Indonesia have increased by 8.2% and the highest prevalence in South Sulawesi is 12.8%. One of the growth factors that play a role in the wound healing process is epidermal growth factor (EGF). EGF includes polypeptides that contain 53 amino acids, and EGF is present in all fluids in the body and platelets. This review aims to determine the role of EGF in the process of wound healing. Method: Data collected since 2017 using 8 databases (pubmed, science direct, google schollar) where the literature used is internationally published literature, additional references are taken from the bibliography of all relevant articles, all relevant articles are reviewed and analyzed. Results: EGF has a role in wound healing. EGF increases motility and epithelial cell migration. EGF can stimulate cell growth, proliferation and differentiation by binding to high affinity to the EGF receptor (EGFR) on the cell surface. The goal of EGF healing is most epithelial tissue, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. EGF can call three important biological actions in tissue repair including cytoprotection, mitogenesis, and migration. Conclusion: EGF plays an important role in the wound healing process, especially in the re-epithelial process. Based on this review, it is suggested that the selection of dressings that are used should support EGF.

Physical injuries or wounds are the physical damage to the skin. The human body naturally possesses the wound healing ability to heal physical damages. The wound healing was initiated in the human body in various mechanisms, and it occurs in three phases. The plants like Musa and Tridax have been evaluated for the wound healing activity, and the extracts were seen toxic to the body too. So in this research, the ointment formulation was prepared using the extracts of the two plants that are extracted with water as the solvent. The polyherbal ointment was prepared using the herbal extracts that were extracted from the parts of Tridax and Musa using the distilled water as a solvent. The prepared ointments showed a better activity compared to the crude extracts and the standard drug too.
