Abstract

Background: Finding effective drugs is considered for healing diabetic wounds by researchers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the wound healing effects of palmatine in the healing of skin wounds in normal and diabetic rats. Methods: In this study 16 male Wistar rats were dهvided into four groups (Negative control, Positive control, The first experimental,The second experimental) . A 4 cm2 wound was created in the left side of the spinal cord in each of these groups and the process of wound healing was macroscopically evaluated. Results: The wounds of the diabetic groups (the diabetes was coused by streptozocin) showed longer healing process in comparison with the normal groups and the wound healing in the experimental groups which were treated by palmitine was faster in comparison with the control group. Conclusions: the results showed that palmatine speeds the wound healing up in normal and diabetic samples.

Abstract

Background: The process of wound healing is impaired in diabetes. Many efforts have been made to accelerate the wound healing process. Long time healing effect of a herbal complex containing Aloe vera, Myrrh, dragon’s blood and henna has been observed in wound healing, But sufficient scientific evidence of how the mechanism of action of this compound is absent in diabetic wounds Whereas the effect of each of them separately in several studies on ulcers observed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical herbal (briefly called Herbalin) on wound healing in diabetic rats.

Methods: The diabetic rats were divided into two groups: control (treated with Vaseline as a vehicle) and experimental (treatment with herbalin) were included. In each class, all wound round with a diameter of2cmwas made on the dorsal surface of diabetic rats. Wound measurement and histopathological parameters such as the formation of re-epithelization, granulation tissue formation and the average thickness of the epithelium at intervals of7, 14and21dayswere evaluated.  Strain epithelium on day 14andthe wound length atday21was evaluated in the terminal phase.

Results: In macroscopic study, the Herbalin treated wounds were found to healing much faster and the day 14 has considerable change compared with control group (P<0.05). In microscopic study, in all cases of the Herbalin treatment groups showed a significantly increased as compared with controls (P<0.05).

Conclusion: According to the results, the herbal complex, possibly by accelerating the formation of granulation tissue and epithelium and thickening of the epithelium has an important role in wound healing in diabetic and reduces the time required for healing.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers are important topic in diabetes care. Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases of endocrinology. Raspberry (Rubus fruticosus) has anti-inflammatory, anti-septic and anti-oxidant effects. The aim of present study is healing effects of raspberry extract on the regeneration process of skin wounds in control and diabetic rats.

Methods: In this study, 48 adult male rats were divided into four groups (n=12 each) including: control group (non-treated and non-diabetic rats), sham (eucerin-treated diabetic rats), experimental1 (non-treated diabetic rats) and experimental 2 (raspberry-treated diabetic rats). Diabetes was induced by 55 mg/kg Streptozotocin (STZ) in three groups of rats. A wound with 3 cm length was created on the skin of back side of animals in all groups. The experimental 1 group was treated by eucerin and experimental 2 groups were treated by raspberry extract two times in a day. Microscopic and macroscopic studies were performed on wound healing process on days of 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21.

Results: The findings showed that sham and experimental 1 group had later healing effect comparing with control group. The speed of wound healing in raspberry extract-treated rats (experimental 2 groups) had significantly increased in comparison with control group and the wound surface area has been significantly decreased in comparison with all other groups (P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion: It seems that topical application of raspberry extract can accelerate the wound healing in diabetic rats and materials in raspberry extract stimulate the collagen synthesis, faster wound contraction and angiogenesis.

Abstract

Background: Finding effective drugs have been considered for healing diabetic wounds by researchers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects on wound healing ointment Alcoholic extract of grape seed skin is normal and diabetic rats.

Methods:  In this study 48 male Wistar rats into four groups (negative control, positive control, the first experimental, the second experimental) were divided. Groups tested in the injured area of 3 cm2   were created on the left spine. The wound healing was evaluated macroscopically. The results are reported as Mean ± SD. Statistical inference border (P ≥0.05) and (P ≥0.01) and (P ≥0.001).

Results: Compared with normal wound healing in diabetic groups were later and Wound healing in experimental groups treated with Vitis Vinifera more quickly than the control group, respectively.

Conclusions: In this study the skin ointment Vitis Vinifera accelerates the wound healing is normal and diabetic samples.

Abstract

Background: For nearly 100 years, amniotic membranes have been used to treat various types of skin wounds. Amniotic extract is one of the derivatives of amniotic membrane that contains all the properties of amniotic membrane. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of the amniotic membrane extract in the treatment of diabetic ulcers.
Methods: This study was an Open labeled clinical trial without control group. A total of 10 patients with Wagner Grade 2 diabetic foot ulcers were selected in both sexes. The extract was used every 48 hours in the first week and every 72 hours from the second week until the end of the wound treatment. Patients were followed up weekly until wound healing.
Results: In this study 80% of patients were men and 20% were women with mean age (56.7 ± 8.7) years. The ulcer duration was 8.9 ± 2.12 weeks. The mean area of ulcers at the time of entry into the wound group ≥ 500 mm2, 977.5 ± 201.9 and in the wound group ≤500 mm2 was 145.6 ± 36.4. At 4 weeks post treatment, the wound healing rate in the wound group was ≤500mm2 ,98.9 ± 2.40 % and in the wound group ≥mm2 500 was 92.1 ± 7.23%. in sixth week of treatment, ulcers were complete closure  in both groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the use of amniotic extract can be effective in the healing of diabetes foot ulcer without any side effects.

Abstract

Background: Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common problems in diabetic patients. The increased risk of Diabetic Foot Ulceration (DFU) and amputation would be a complication of diabetic neuropathy. The aim of this study was to compare the DFU healing in different severity classification of neuropathy.
Methods: This is a retrospective study that was conducted over a two-year period from April 2016 to March 2018 according to the information of patients records with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) referred to clinic of diabetes and metabolic disorders of Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Wound healing criteria including area, depth and healing duration were studied. Accordingly, changes in the area and depth of wounds were evaluated and reported during the first, third and sixth months after baseline. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS software version 16.
Results: The results of the study of patients with neuropathic ulcer showed that males and age group of 56 to 65 years had the highest frequencies. In addition, most of these patients suffered from type 2 DM (79%). The rate of wound healing, which was measured by area and depth of wound in three time periods, differed in different severity classification of neuropathy; at mild level of neuropathy the area and depth of wound decreased faster but in severe neuropathy, duration of wound healing in both mentioned criteria has increased. Regarding to the increase in the duration of DM, the healing time increased too. However the rate of wound healing decreased with increased age (p-value = 0.001).
Conclusion: Evidence suggests that early identification of neuropathy can reduce the incidence of DFU and amputation. Due to the slow healing of the size and depth of the wound in diabetic patients with severe neuropathy, it is necessary to prevent DFU by conducting preventive care and educational interventions.
