This study explored the effects of drinking Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on skin wound healing in dogs. Eight circular wounds were analyzed in each dog. The experimental group was treated with HRW thrice daily, while the control group was provided with distilled water (DW). The wound tissues of dogs were examined histopathologically. The fibroblasts, inflammatory cell infiltration, the average number of new blood vessels, and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the skin homogenate of the wound was measured using the corresponding kits. The expressions of Nrf-2, HO-1, NQO-1, VEGF, and PDGF were measured using the real-time fluorescence quantitative method. We observed that HRW wounds showed an increased rate of wound healing, and a faster average healing time compared with DW. Histopathology showed that in the HRW group, the average thickness of the epidermis was significantly lower than the DW group. The average number of blood vessels in the HRW group was higher than the DW group. The MDA levels were higher in the DW group than in the HRW group, but the SOD levels were higher in the HRW group than in the DW group. The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of each gene was significantly different between the two groups. HRW treatment promoted skin wound healing in dogs, accelerated wound epithelization, reduced inflammatory reaction, stimulated the expression of cytokines related to wound healing, and shortened wound healing time.

Abstract Background: Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has been shown to be one of underlying therapeutic strategies regarding wound treatments. This study explored the effects of drinking HRW on skin wound healing in dogs. Eight circular wounds were analyzed in each dog. The experimental group was treated with HRW twice daily, while the control group was provided with distilled water (DW). The wound tissues of dogs examined histopathologically. The fibroblasts, inflammatory cell infiltration, the average number of new blood vessels, and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the skin homogenate of the wound was measured using the corresponding kits. The expression of Nrf-2, HO-1, NQO-1, VEGF, and PDGF were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative method. Results: We observed that HRW wound had significant average healing rate and faster average healing time. Histopathological results showed that the average number of blood vessels and the average thickness of epidermis were significantly different from the DW group. The MDA levels were higher in the DW group than in the HRW group but the SOD levels were higher in the HRW group than in the DW group. The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of each gene was significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: The results showed that HRW treatment could promote skin wound healing in dogs, accelerate wound epithelization, reduce inflammatory reaction, stimulate the expression of cytokines related to wound healing, and shorten wound healing time.

ABSTRACT Background: Chronic wounds in patients with Diabetes Mellitus often become incurable due to prolonged and excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. The use of probiotics modifies the intestinal microbiota and modulates inflammatory reactions. Aim: To evaluate the influence of perioperative supplementation with probiotics in the cutaneous healing process in diabetic rats. Methods: Forty-six rats were divided into four groups (C3, P3, C10, P10) according to the treatment (P=probiotic or C=control, both orally administered) and day of euthanasia, 3rd or 10th postoperative days. All rats were induced to Diabetes Mellitus 72 h before starting the experiment with alloxan. Supplementation was initiated five days before the incision and maintained until euthanasia. Scalpel incision was guided by a 2x2 cm mold and the wounds were left to heal per second-intention. The wounds were digitally measured. Collagen densitometry was done with Picrosirius Red staining. Histological parameters were analyzed by staining by H&E. Results: The contraction of the wound was faster in the P10 group which resulted in a smaller scar area (p=0.011). There was an increase in type I collagen deposition from the 3rd to the 10th postoperative day in the probiotic groups (p=0.016), which did not occur in the control group (p=0.487). The histological analysis showed a better degree of healing in the P10 group (p=0.005), with fewer polymorphonuclear (p<0.001) and more neovessels (p=0.001). Conclusions: Perioperative supplementation of probiotics stimulates skin wound healing in diabetic rats, possibly due to attenuation of the inflammatory response and increased neovascularization and type I collagen deposition.

Abstract Background As the major interface between the body and the external environment, the skin is liable to various injuries. Skin injuries often lead to severe disability, and the exploration of promising therapeutic strategies is of great importance. Exogenous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy is a potential strategy due to the apparent therapeutic effects, while the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Interestingly, we observed the extensive apoptosis of exogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in a short time after transplantation in mouse skin wound healing models. Considering the roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in intercellular communication, we hypothesized that the numerous apoptotic bodies (ABs) released during apoptosis may partially contribute to the therapeutic effects. Methods ABs derived from MSCs were extracted, characterized, and applied in mouse skin wound healing models, and the therapeutic effects were evaluated. Then, the target cells of ABs were explored, and the effects of ABs on macrophages were investigated in vitro. Results We found ABs derived from MSCs promoted cutaneous wound healing via triggering the polarization of macrophages towards M2 phenotype. In addition, the functional converted macrophages further enhanced the migration and proliferation abilities of fibroblasts, which together facilitated the wound healing process. Conclusions Collectively, our study demonstrated that transplanted MSCs promoted cutaneous wound healing partially through releasing apoptotic bodies which could convert the macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype that plays a crucial role in the tissue repair process.

To develop a wound dressing material that conforms to the healing process, we prepared a multilayer composite (MC) membrane consisting of an antibacterial layer (ABL), a reinforcement layer (RFL), and a healing promotion layer (HPL). Biocompatible zein/ethyl cellulose (zein/EC) electrospun nanofibrous membranes with in situ loaded antibacterial photosensitizer protoporphyrin (PPIX) and healing promotion material vaccarin (Vac) were, respectively, chosen as the ABL on the surface and the HPL on the bottom, between which nonwoven incorporated bacterial cellulose (BC/PETN) as the HPL was intercalated to enhance the mechanical property. Photodynamic antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed by the enlarged inhibition zones; meanwhile, satisfactory biocompatibility of the HPL was verified by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) of L929 cells cultured on its surface. The potential effects on wound healing in a mice skin defect model of the MC membranes were also evaluated. The animal experiments demonstrated that the wound healing rate in the MC group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group (p < 0.05). Histopathological observation revealed an alleviated inflammatory response, accompanied with vascular proliferation in the MC group. The MC membranes significantly promoted wound healing by creating an antibacterial environment and promoting angiogenesis. Taken together, this MC membrane may act as a promising wound dressing for skin wound healing.

Com o objetivo de avaliar-se possíveis efeitos do vedaprofeno sobre a cicatrização de pele em eqüinos, realizaram-se lesões circulares de pele padronizadas com “punch” de 2 cm, nas regiões lombares direita e esquerda de 14 eqüinos. Estes dois últimos foram divididos em dois grupos, os quais receberam tratamento local diário com líquido de Dakin. Sete animais foram tratados com 2 mg/kg de vedaprofeno (grupo vedaprofeno) via oral, duas vezes ao dia, durante dez dias e, sete animais do grupo controle não receberam tratamento. Em todos os cavalos, as lesões do lado direito foram avaliadas macroscopicamente e por planimetria a cada seis dias e, as feridas do lado esquerdo foram analisadas por material para histopatologia no sexto e 15º dias de tratamento. Comparativamente, as lesões dos animais tratados com vedaprofeno mostraram-se secas e sem edema perilesional e as feridas controle apresentaram maior retração centrípeta. O tempo total de cicatrização não diferiu, variando entre 28 e 39 dias (média 32,86) nos animais do grupo vedaprofeno e entre 26 e 39 dias nos animais do grupo controle (média 31,71). Nos exames histopatológicos ocorreu diferença entre os grupos quanto à epitelização presente observada com maior freqüência no grupo controle. O vedaprofeno diminuiu a retração e epitelização da ferida com redução da fase exsudativa e do edema, entretanto, sem interferir no tempo total de cicatrização. Second intention skin wound healing in equines under vedaprofen treatment Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects vedaprofen of on equine skin wound healing. Circular skin lesions using a 2 cm punch were induced on right and left lumbar regions in 14 equines. The animals were divided into two groups and the wounds received daily topic treatment with Dakin solution. Seven horses (vedaprofen group) were treated with vedaprofen (2mg/kg PO BID) for 10 days, and seven (control group) were not treated. All animals had right side wounds evaluated by macroscopic examination and planimetry each 6 days and the left side wounds were submitted to histopathological studies at the 6th and 15th post-treatment days. The wounds of vedaprofene group showed drier lesions without edema when compared to the control groups wounds, which displayed more centripetal retraction.The total healing period was similar in both groups, with 28 and 39 days (average 32.86) in the vedaprofen group and 26 and 39 days (average 31.71) in the control group. The epithelial recovery was evaluated by histopathological examinations and was more often seen in the control group. The vedaprofen diminished the retraction and epithelial recovery of the wound, but did not interfere in the total period of healing with reduction of exsudative phase and edema.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the therapeutic contribution of MSC intravenous infusion to surgical wound healing in dexamethasone-immunosuppressed rats, thirty-five rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: in the Control Group (CG), five rats received normal saline as 0.2ml subcutaneous (SC) injections every 24 hours, for 30 consecutive days and, in the Dexamethasone Group (DG), 30 rats were given 0.2mL subcutaneous dexamethasone (0.1mg kg-1) every 24 hours, for 30 consecutive days. After 30 days, all rats underwent surgery to create an experimental skin wound. The 30 animals of the DG group were divided into two equal groups, which received different treatments: the dexamethasone group (DG) received a single application of 0.5ml normal saline, via the intravenous route (IV), 48 hours after wound creation; and the Mesenchymal Stem Cells Dexamethasone group (MSCDG) received MSC transplantation at a concentration of 9x106 cells in a single IV application, 48 hours after wound creation. The surgical wounds of CG rats closed on average 14.75 days after creation and DG rats had wounds closed within 22 days; whereas, the surgical wounds of MSCDG rats were closed in 14 days. MSC infusion in dexamethasone-immunosuppressed patients contributed positively to epithelial healing in less time.

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.

Wound healing is an important medical problem. We evaluated the efficacy of locally administered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from human umbilical cords on the dynamics of skin wound healing. The study was conducted on the backs of Wistar rats, where two square wounds were created by removing all layers of the skin. Four groups were studied in two series of experiments: (1) a Control_NaCl group (the wounds were injected with 0.9% NaCl solution) and a Control_0 group (intact wounds on the opposite side of the same rat’s back); (2) an MSC group (injected MSCs, local effect) and a Control_sc group (intact wounds on the opposite side of the back, remote MSC effect). The area and temperature of the wounds and the microcirculation of the wound edges were measured. Histological and morphometric studies were performed on days 3 and 7 after the wounds were created. The results showed that the injection trauma (Control_NaCl) slowed the regeneration process. In both MSC groups (unlike in either control group), we observed no increase in the area of the wounds; in addition, we observed inhibition of the inflammatory process and improved wound regeneration on days 1–3 in the remote group and days 1–5 in the local (injected) group. The MSC and Control_sc groups demonstrated improved microcirculation and suppression of leukocyte infiltration on day 3. On day 7, all the studied parameters of the wounds of the Control_0 group were the same as those of the wounds that received cell therapy, although in contrast to the results of the Control_ NaCl group, fibroblast proliferation was greater in the MSC and Control_sc groups. The dynamics of the size of the wounds were comparable for both local and remote application of MSCs. Thus, even a one-time application of MSCs was effective during the first 3–5 days after injury due to anti-inflammatory processes, which improved the regeneration process. Remote application of MSC, as opposed to direct injection, is advisable, especially in the case of multiple wounds, since the results were indistinguishable between the groups and injection trauma was shown to slow healing.
