Mangifera indica can generate up to 60% of polluting by-products, including peels. However, it has been shown that flavonoids and mangiferin are mainly responsible for the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities closely related to the wound-healing process. The chemical composition of MEMI (methanolic extract of M. indica) was analyzed by HPLC-DAD, as well as concentrations of total phenol (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC) and antioxidant activity (SA50). Wound-healing efficacy was determined by measurements of wound contraction, histological analysis, and tensiometric method; moreover, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and acute dermal toxicity (OECD 402) were also evaluated. Phenol, resorcinol, conjugated resorcinol, and mangiferin were detected. TPC, TFC, and SA50 were 136 mg GAE/g, 101.66 mg QE/g, and 36.33 µg/mL, respectively. Tensile strength and wound contraction closure did not show significant differences between MEMI and dexpanthenol groups. Histological analysis (after 14 days) shows a similar architecture between MEMI treatment and normal skin. MEMI exhibits a reduction in edema. Staphylococcus epidermidis had an MIC of 2 mg/mL, while Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli reached 4 mg/mL. The MEMI showed no signs of toxicity. Therefore, this study demonstrates multiple targets that flavonoids and mangiferin of MEMI may present during the healing process.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and characterize the wound healing process profile induced by allantoin incorporated in soft lotion oil/water emulsion using the planimetric and histological methods. METHODS: Female Wistar rats (n=60) were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups: (C) control group-without treatment; (E) group treated with soft lotion O/W emulsion excipients; (EA) group treated with soft lotion O/W emulsion containing allantoin 5%. The emulsions either containing or not allantoin were topically administered for 14 days and the wound area was evaluated by planimetry and by qualitative and quantitative histological analysis of open wound model. RESULTS: The data which were obtained and analyzed innovate by demonstrating, qualitatively and quantitatively, by histological analysis, the profile of healing process induced by allantoin. The results suggest that the wound healing mechanism induced by allantoin occurs via the regulation of inflammatory response and stimulus to fibroblastic proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis. CONCLUSION: This work show, for the first time, the histological wound healing profile induced by allantoin in rats and demonstrated that it is able to ameliorate and fasten the reestablishment of the normal skin.

Background The present study aimed to prepare effective silk derived formulations in combination with plant extract (Aloe vera gel) to speed up the wound healing process in diabetic mice. Methods Diabetes was induced in albino mice by using alloxan monohydrate. After successful induction of diabetes in mice, excision wounds were created via biopsy puncture (6 mm). Wound healing effect of silk sericin (5%) and silk fibroin (5%) individually and in combination with 5% Aloe vera gel was evaluated by determining the percent wound contraction, healing time and histological analysis. Results The results indicated that the best biocompatible silk combination was of 5% silk fibroin and 5% Aloe vera gel in which wounds were healed in 13 days with wound contraction: 98.33 ± 0.80%. In contrast, the wound of the control group (polyfax) healed in 19 day shaving 98.5 ± 0.67% contraction. Histological analysis revealed that the wounds which were treated with silk formulations exhibited an increased growth of blood vessels, collagen fibers, and much reduced inflammation. Conclusion It can be concluded that a combination of Bombyx mori silk and Aloe vera gel is a natural biomaterial that can be utilized in wound dressings and to prepare more innovative silk based formulations for speedy recovery of chronic wounds.

Wound healing is a multi-stage process during which a cascade of molecular and cellular events collaborate to restore the damaged tissue to its healthy state. The inability of the available therapies to effectively heal the wounds has imposed major problems on healthcare systems. Therefore, developing novel therapeutic modalities capable of enhancing wound healing process with no/or limited scar formation is of more importance. Different studies have investigated the potential of phytochemicals on the wound healing process. They have shown to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities as well as promoting collagen synthesis and deposition, leading to enhancing wound healing. Nanotechnology, as an applicable knowledge, has provided versatile means to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of wound treatment. The application of nanoparticles has conferred various advantages in the field of wound treatment. They protect the therapeutics from degradation, release the cargo in a controlled fashion, possess healing properties, and can act as extracellular matrix (ECM) mimic. In this review, we discuss the naturally-occurring compounds with wound healing properties and their nano-formulation for skin wound therapy.

Ideal agents for the topical treatment of skin wounds should have antimicrobial efficacy without negative influence on wound healing. Octenidine (OCT) has become a widely used antiseptic in professional wound care, but its influence on several components of the wound healing process remains unclear. In the present study, we have used a superficial wound model using tape stripping on human full-thickness skin ex vivo to investigate the influence of OCT on epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) and cytokine secretion pattern of skin cells during wound healing in a model without disruption of the normal skin structure. Histological and immunofluorescence studies showed that OCT neither altered human skin architecture nor the viability of skin cells upon 48 hours of culture in unwounded or wounded skin. The epidermis of explants and LCs remained morphologically intact throughout the whole culture period upon OCT treatment. OCT inhibited the upregulation of the maturation marker CD83 on LCs and prevented their emigration in wounded skin. Furthermore, OCT reduced both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-8, IL-33, and IL-10), while angiogenesis and growth factor mediators (VEGF and TGF-β1) remained unchanged in skin explant cultures. Our data provide novel insights into the host response to OCT in the biologically relevant environment of viable human (wounded) skin.

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.

Abstract: Wound healing can be assisted by modern and traditional medicine. Banana stem sap is often used as a herbal remedy for wounds. The sap of banana stem contains saponins, flavonoids, anthraquinone, quinone, lectin, and tannins that are expected to promote wound healing. This study was aimed to determine the effect of banana stem sap on incised wound of the skin of Wistar rats. This was an experimental laboratory study. A total of 21 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used in this study; one was used to obtain a normal skin sample, and the others were divided into control groups (A1 and B1) and treated groups (A2 and B2), five rats in each group. A 1-cm-skin incision was made on the back of each rat in all groups. The wounds of group A1 and B1 were untreated. In group A2 and B2, the wounds were applied with 0,5 ml of banana stem sap (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum L. Kuntze. AAB) twice a day. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the wounds were performed on day-5 (group A1 and A2) and day-14 (group B1 and B2). The results showed that, either macroscopically (wound area and crusting) or microscopically (crust, reepithelization, angiogenesis, proliferation of fibrous tissue and inflammatory cells), group A2 and B2 exhibited better wound healing compared with group A1 and B1. Conclusion: Better wound healing process in Wistar rats treated with banana stem sap on their insiced wounds compared to those that were untreated indicates that banana stem sap play distinct roles in promoting wound healing.Keywords: wound healing, banana stem sap Abstrak: Penyembuhan luka dapat dibantu dengan pengobatan modern ataupun teradisional.

This paper presents the assessment of wound healing properties of ethanolic extract of Acrostichum aureum and A. speciosum in rats. It was carried out on 6 treated groups with 6 rats each group. The excisional wound was made on the dorsal interscapular region of each rat by a 6 mm biopsy punch. T1 and T2 were treated with 5% and 10% A. aureum ethanolic extract in aqua cream, respectively. Meanwhile, T3 and T4 were treated with 5% and 10% A. speciosum ethanolic extract in aqua cream, respectively. Solcoseryl jelly and aqua cream were used as positive and negative controls. The treatments were applied topically twice daily, wound contraction and period of epithelization were measured every 2 days. The results showed that wound treated with 10% A. speciosum (T4) exerted faster wound contraction significantly (p < 0.05) compared to the negative control. It was also enhanced epithelization period (9.33 ± 3.20 days) of the wounds significantly (p < 0.05). In conclusion, these results strongly suggested the beneficial effects of both plant extracts for enhancing wound healing process.

Dictyophora indusiata or Phallus indusiatus is widely used as not only traditional medicine, functional foods, but also, skin care agents. Biological activities of the fruiting body from D. indusiata were widely reported, while the studies on the application of immature bamboo mushroom extracts were limited especially in the wound healing effect. Wound healing process composed of 4 stages including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling. This study divided the egg stage of bamboo mushroom into 3 parts: peel and green mixture (PGW), core (CW), and whole mushroom (WW). Then, aqueous extracts were investigated for their nucleotide sequencing, biological compound contents, and wound healing effect. The anti-inflammatory determination via the levels of cytokine releasing from macrophages, and the collagen stimulation activity on fibroblasts by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) inhibitory activity were determined to serve for the wound healing process promotion in the stage 2–4 (wound inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling of the skin). All D. indusiata extracts showed good antioxidant potential, significantly anti-inflammatory activity in the decreasing of the nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-1 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretion from macrophage cells (p < 0.05), and the effective collagen stimulation via MMP-2 inhibition. In particular, CW extract containing high content of catechin (68.761 ± 0.010 mg/g extract) which could significantly suppress NO secretion (0.06 ± 0.02 µmol/L) better than the standard anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (0.12 ± 0.02 µmol/L) and their MMP-2 inhibition (41.33 ± 9.44%) was comparable to L-ascorbic acid (50.65 ± 2.53%). These findings support that CW of D. indusiata could be an essential natural active ingredient for skin wound healing pharmaceutical products.
