Many researches have been exerted to find an application dressing for wound healing and also attain a considerable microbial reduction in burn wounds. In this study, the healing effect of a mixed herbal ointment (containing Myrtus, honey, Aloe vera, and pseudomonas phage) on the healing process of second degree burn wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in comparison was evaluated. For this purpose, a hot metal square piece (4×2 cm, 50 g) was applied using a standard burning technique, and the applied pressure on the skin kept the same for all animals, then infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Rats were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was treated with mixed herbal ointment, and group 2 received no treatment (control group). The treatment was daily, and sampling was weekly for three consecutive weeks (7, 14, and 21-day). Formalin 10% was used for tissue fixation. Wound healing in test and control groups was investigated by macroscopic and microscopic methods using Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. It wound contraction evaluation (Image J software). Macroscopic findings showed that wound contraction of the mixed herbal ointment group was significantly higher than the control group for 21 days. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining revealed that the epithelialization was considerably more completed in the mixed herbal ointment group in comparison with the control group. Also, neovascularization was significantly higher in the mixed herbal ointment group. The comparative results demonstrated that the mixed herbal ointment group had a significant difference (P<0.05) with a non-treated group (control). Therefore, the mixed herbal ointment is suggested as a suitable candidate for the treatment of second-degree burn wounds infected to pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract Introduction Burn is one of the most severe traumas that causes coagulative destruction of the skin. The use of various products that accelerate wound healing in patients with burn may affect the patient’s survival and reduce the complications that may be seen. In the present study we aimed effects of subcutaneous ozone injection on second degree burn wound. Methods A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley male rats included in the study were divided randomly into three groups (control group (CG), silver sulfadiazine group (SG), ozone group (OG)) and each group was divided randomly two subgroups (as sacrificed on d7 and on d14).A deep second degree scald burns were created on the lower back. In CG subcutaneous 0.9% serum saline was injected daily into the burn area. In SG, burns were dressed with silver sulfadiazine daily and in OG subcutaneous ozone was injected daily into the burn area. Tissue hydroxyproline level measurement and histopathological evaluation were done. Results When the groups were compared in terms of weight change, no significant difference was found on the 7th and 14th days. In the evaluation made in terms of tissue hydroxyproline, tissue hydroxyproline level in OG was found to be significantly higher on both the 7th and 14th days (p &lt; 0.001). In histopathological evaluations, it was determined that wound healing in OG was significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusions According to the results, subcutaneous ozone therapy is more effective than silver sulphadiazine in the healing process of second-degree burn wounds and it can be safely used in the treatment of burn wounds.

Abstract A description is provided for Puccinia cynodontis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Aecial stage on species of Plantago. Uredial and telial stages on species of Cynodon, particularly C. dactylon. DISEASE: Leaf rust of Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread. Africa: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mauritius Morocco, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tunisia and Zambia. Americas: Argentina, Barbados, Bermuda, Colombia, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rieo, Salvador, Trinidad, USA (South) and Venezuela. Asia: Cambodia, Ceylon, China, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey and USSR. Australasia & Oceania: Australia, Hawaii, New Caledonia, New Zealand and Papua & New Guinea. Europe: Cyprus, France, Malta and Rumania. TRANSMISSION: No studies appear to have been reported. Since the aecial stage has not been found in USA the urediospores presumably survive during the dormant periods of the tdial host.
