A wound refers to the epithelial loss, accompanied by loss of muscle fibers collagen, nerves and bone instigated by surgery, trauma, frictions or by heat. Process of wound healing is a compounded activity of recovering the functional integrity of the damaged tissues. This process is mediated by various cytokines and growth factors usually liberated at the wound site. A plethora of herbal and synthetic drugs, as well as photodynamic therapy, is available to facilitate the process of wound healing. Generally, the systems used for the management of wounds tend to act through covering the ruptured site, reduce pain, inflammation, and prevent the invasion and growth of microorganisms. The available systems are, though, enough to meet these requirements, but the involvement of nanotechnology can ameliorate the performance of these protective coverings. In recent years, nano-based formulations have gained immense popularity among researchers for the wound healing process due to the enhanced benefits they offer over the conventional preparations. Hereupon, this review aims to cover the entire roadmap of wound healing, beginning from the molecular factors involved in the process, the various synthetic and herbal agents, and combination therapy available for the treatment and the current nano-based systems available for delivery through the topical route for wound healing.

The treatment of wounds is one challenging biomedical field due to delayed wound healing common in chronic wounds. Several factors delay wound healing, including microbial infections, malnutrition, underlying physiological conditions, etc. Most of the currently used wound dressing materials suffer from poor antimicrobial properties, poor biodegradability and biocompatibility, and weak mechanical performance. Plant extracts, such as Aloe vera, have attracted significant attention in wound management because of their interesting biological properties. Aloe vera is composed of essential constituents beneficial for the wound healing process, such as amino acids, vitamins C and E, and zinc. Aloe vera influences numerous factors that are involved in wound healing and stimulates accelerated healing. This review reports the therapeutic outcomes of aloe vera extract-loaded polymer-based scaffolds in wound management.

The wound healing process of the soft tissue aims to accelerate the closing of the wound by recurring, restoring the function, and minimizing the scar tissue. This process has to occur in the surgery process to obtain better-wound healing. The aim of this study was to know the stimulation effect of the wound dressing to accelerate the wound healing process of the soft tissue using Collagen (amino acid) and Amnion (proteinase inhibitors). This true experimental study was done to 36 mice (Sprague Dawley) that were divided into three different groups, two groups were the treatment groups and one group was the control group. Each group was adapted in Pathology Laboratory of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bogor Agricultural University. All of the mice were injured on the skin by incising the right side of the back for 2 cm in length and 4 mm in depth and then cleaned with 0.9% NaCl solution. To the first group of treatment, the wound was applicated by Amnion, and the second group was applicated by Collagen. Each 4 mice of all group were a termination by ether and encryption on the wounded tissue was conducted on day 3rd, 7th, and 14th. Assessment for a number of fibroblast and collagen synthesis on the wound of back tissue was conducted with the histological examination by painted using hematoxylin-eosin. The results concluded that Collagen application was influencing the mean of fibroblast higher than Amnion, and the lowest was controlled with statistically significant. The mean of collagen used Collagen lower than Amnion, and the lowest was control with statistically significant. It could be concluded that collagen application was preeminent in increasing the productivity of the fibroblast, as well as in developing forms of the collagen synthesis compared with Amnion and control.

Background: Treatment of wounds in diabetes often gets less than perfect healing. One of the reasons for the difficulty in treating wounds in diabetes is the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This study aims to determine the pulse voltage and treatment time that can optimally inactivate bacteria, and their effect on wound healing in mice suffering from diabetes. Methods: The study used electrical stimulation with a direct voltage of 10 volts given a pulse voltage of 50-80 volts, a width of 50 µs, and the number of pulses of 65 per second. The research samples were Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudo-monas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria that grew on beef and mice (Mus musculus) with diabetes. The treatment for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria was carried out using a pulse voltage of 50-80 volts for 5-15 min/day and repeated for 3 days. Meanwhile, treatment of mice wounds was carried out with a pulse voltage of 80 volts for 15 min/day and repeated for 7 days. Results: The results showed that treatment with a pulse voltage of 50-80 volts and a treatment time of 5-15 min significantly reduced the number of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria in beef (p£0.05). Treatment with a pulse voltage of 80 volts for 15 min made beef free from bacteria. Meanwhile, treatment with a pulse voltage of 80 volts for 15 min per day for seven days resulted in the wound state of three mice in the maturation phase and two mice in the proliferation phase on day 8 with an average wound area of 0.108 cm 2. Conclusion: The treatment with a pulse voltage of 80 volts for 15 min made the beef sterile, the mice wounds healed quickly, and the mice not stressed. The higher the blood glucose level, the slower the wound healing process.

This study spots light on combined Wound healing process conjoining blood coagulation, inflammation reduction, proliferation and remodeling of the cells. The objective is to overcome the drawbacks of conventional clinically applied wound dressings such as poor rigidity, porosity, mechanical potency and bactericidal activity. As nosocomial infection is a very common condition at the wound site, bio-adhesive materials with intrinsic antibacterial properties are used in clinical applications. Considering the provenability of Wollastonite [Calcium silicate (CaSiO3)] to regenerate the soft tissues by inducing vascularization and regeneration of fibroblast cells And the antibacterial potentiality of zinc in clinical applications, the present study focuses on synthesis of Zn-Ws particles and evaluation of its antimicrobial and wound healing potentialities towards skin tissue engineering applications. The compositional characterization by EDAS and FT-IR spectral analysis have substantiated the presence of major elements and corresponding band stretching associated with the synthesized particles whereas the particles morphology by SEM images have shown the size of the Ws and Zn-Ws to be 370 nm and 530 nm respectively. From the in vitro studies, skin regenerative potential of Zn-Ws was determined on promoting fibroblast cell (NIH3T3) proliferation by providing better adhesiveness, biocompatibility and cytocompatibility. The antibacterial property of Zn-Ws evaluation by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and zone of inhibition (ZOI) methods against clinical isolates of Gram +Ve and Gram –Ve bacterial strains have confirmed that the addition of Zn has diminished the bacterial growth and also helped in degrading the bacterial biofilms. Thus it is summed up that the process of wound healing is expected to occur with reduced risk of post-injury infections by the presence of zinc-doping on wollastonite for skin tissue application.

Human placenta extracts have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and wound-healing properties, so they are promising drugs for the treatment of wounds of various origins, including burns. Cryopreservation methods are widely used to preserve the biological activity of placental drugs for a long time. The aim of this work was to study the effect of low-temperature storage of the placenta on the regenerative properties of its extracts. Fragments of freshly obtained placentas were cooled by immersion in liquid nitrogen and stored at –196 °C for 6 months. The placenta was warmed in a water bath at 37 °C. The effect of low-temperature preservation of the placenta on the ability of its extracts to positively affect the wound healing process was studied in a model of thermal burn of III B degree in rats. The effectiveness of wound treatment with extracts from cryopreserved placenta was evaluated by planimetric and histological methods at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the burn. The activity of antioxidant enzymes in the serum of animals was also determined. superoxide dismutase activity was assessed by inhibition of adrenaline autooxidation in carbonate buffer, catalase activity was assessed by the degree of inhibition of ammonium peroxide formation. It has been shown that the treatment of burns with extracts from cryopreserved placenta helped to accelerate the regeneration processes and the rate of wound healing. The formation of granulation tissue was detected on the 7th day of treatment with extracts, and on the 14th day in the control. The area of burn wounds during treatment with extracts probably differed from the control starting from 14 days after application of the burn. It was found that the dynamics of recovery of catalase activity after burns is probably higher on the 7th day of treatment with extracts. The obtained data testify to the high efficiency of application of placenta stored at low-temperature for the purpose of obtaining extracts from it with preservation of regenerative properties.

Injury to the soft tissues is followed by wound healing, which consists of four stages: haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling. Chromolaena odorata is a weed that is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments in humans and animals. The present study was aimed at exploring the wound healing potential of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of C. odorata in a rat excision wound model. This investigation involved phytochemical screening and in vitro analyses of various parameters such as antioxidant activity, lipid peroxide inhibitory activity and the effects of extracts on contraction and epithelialisation of the rat excision wounds. The phytochemical screening of both ethanolic and aqueous extracts showed that they were rich in secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides and carbohydrates. The aqueous extract showed high antioxidant and lipid peroxide inhibitory activity, while the ethanolic extract showed high total phenol content and hydrogen peroxide inhibitory activity at concentrations of 50, 100 and 250 μg/ml. Our results also indicate that the most effective concentration of the C. odorata extract for excision wound healing was 5.0% (w/w). C. odorata-treated groups exhibited a faster reduction in wound area compared to control and Betadine-treated groups. In addition, the topical application of C. odorata extract increased collagen synthesis and its stabilisation at the wound site, as evidenced by the increase in hydroxyproline and hexosamine levels and expression of collagen. The present investigation demonstrates that aqueous and ethanolic extracts of C. odorata of varying concentrations promote an accelerated wound healing process and might represent a novel healing agent. Our findings are of potential clinical relevance and might be highly beneficial for drug discovery and development in the area of both human and veterinary medicine.
