The aim of the study was to assess the propolis effect on fibronectin metabolism in the course of burn wounds healing process. A model of burn wound healing of pig skin was applied. The amount of the released glycoprotein was assessed by a surface plasmon resonance. The profile of extracted fibronectin components was also assessed by an electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel, with a subsequent immunodetection by Western Blotting. Propolis burn treatment decreased the release of fibronectin components from healing wounds in relation to damages treated with silver sulfadiazine. The main reason of decreased extraction of fibronectin components from wounds treated with propolis was a substantial decrease of degradation product release of the mentioned glycoprotein, which was observed particularly from the 3rd to 5th day of the repair. Wounds treatment with propolis demonstrated, especially in relation to damages treated with silver sulfadiazine, the decreased release of synthesized fibronectin molecules. The obtained results suggest that propolis modifies fibronectin metabolism in the course of wound healing process. The influence of propolis is reflected in prevention of fibronectin biosynthesis as well as its degradation in the wound area. The above-mentioned metabolic changes may decrease the risk of complications in the repair wounds process.

Burn Wound Healing

Burn is an injury where the skin is destroyedby various factors such as heat, cold, electricity, etc.When skin injuryoccurs, pathogens can invade the body and burn wounds get infected shortly after the damage. The wound healing process is a process done by the coordination of tissues, cells and various factors. In the acute phase, inflammatory mechanism of burns has negative effects due to capillary leak. On the other hand, in the later stages of burn,inflammation is necessary for wound healing. Silver nitrate, silver sulfadiazine, and Mafenide acetate are also used for wound care. These compounds cause delayed wound healing and have cytotoxic effects. Iran is among the countries that have rich traditional medicine and herbal treatment of burn wounds in history. Therefore, in this review article, we tried to report the medicinal plants native to Iran which are effective for burn wounds. In this review article, by searching databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, Spy DVD, mag Iran and… the articles were searched by searching keywords including burn wounds, herbs, extracts, essences and Iran. After finally searching, it was determined that medicinal plants below are the most important medicinal plants native to Iran that affect burn wounds. 11 Medicinal herbs 11 Abukhalsa plant, chamomile, oak, hungry for love, green tea, purslane, cinnamon, Hypericum, and Commiphora are the most important Medicinal Plants which are effective for burn wound healing in Iran. Alkanin, Naphthoquinone and Shikonin, tannins, pectin, alkaloids, saponins and tannins fixed, resin and vitamin C, flavonoids rutin, aucubin and catalpolCatechin, Epicatechin, EpicatechinGallate, Epigallocatechin and Epigallocatechin-gallate, oxalic acid, Cinnamic acid, caffeic acid , maleic acid, Citric acid, coumarin, flavonoids, alanine, tannins, alpha-linolenic acid, cinnamic acid, phenolic compounds such as eugenol, and safrolephellandrene, terpene compounds such as limonene and linalool, trans-cinnamaldehyde (MDA), tannins, coumarin, resin, Cinema-hydroxy phenyl propane compounds such as formaldehyde and mannitol, curcumin, terpenoids, steroids, Flavonoids, lignans are active compounds of plant bioactive substances that are effective on burn wound healing.

Background: Sucralfate is a basic aluminum salt of sucrose octasulphate which was orally taken for prevention and treatment of several gastrointestinal diseases. This study primarily aims to analyze whether sucralfate accelerates wound healing process in burn patients. The incidence of infection & relieve in pain in burn patients was also compared.Methods: This is an observational study carried out in the Department of General Surgery, Hamidia Hospital Bhopal on 50 patients divided into group 1 (sucralfate)and group 2 [a-sucralfate; b-silver sulfadiazine (SSD)]. Demographics, history, physical, and systemic examinations of the patients were recorded.Results: It was observed that sucralfate augments the formation of granulation tissue (in 6-17 days) as compared to SSD (14-22 days). It was noticed that faster healing by re-epithelialization was present in sucralfate group (11-22 days) as compared with SSD group (15-30 days). By the end of 3rd week 50-75% of wound was healed in sucralfate group as compared with 35-50% in SSD group. Incidence of secondary infection was less when topical sucralfate was used (group 1 = 25%; group 2a = 16.6%; group 2b = 66.66%). There was a marked relief in pain and discomfort after sucralfate application as compared to SSD.Conclusions: Using topical sucralfate expedite the burn wound healing process, significantly decreases pain with no local or systemic adverse reactions to the topical application therefore it can be used as an adjunctive or alternative agent in the future. However, multicentric trials with larger sample size are needed to insure the concept.

The Impact

Plasma medicine is the utilization of gas ionization that might be beneficial for the treatment of burn wounds, a healthcare problem with a significant mortality rate. Due to a lack of information on the impact of plasma flux in immune cells and a high prevalence of bacterial infection in burn wounds, non-thermal argon-based plasma flux was tested on macrophages (RAW246.7) and in mouse models of burn wounds with or without Staphylococcus aureus infection. Accordingly, plasma flux enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS), using dihydroethidium assay, and decreased abundance of NF-κB-p65 (Western blot analysis) in non-stimulating macrophages. In parallel, plasma flux upregulated IL-10 gene expression (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory macrophages, while downregulating the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6). Additionally, plasma flux improved the migratory function of fibroblasts (L929) (fibroblast scratch assay) but not fibroblast proliferation. Moreover, once daily plasma flux administration for 7 days promoted the healing process in burn wounds with or without infection (wound area and wound rank score). Additionally, plasma flux reduced tissue cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) in burn wounds with infection and promoted collagen in burn wounds without infection. In conclusion, plasma flux induced anti-inflammatory macrophages and promoted the burn-wound healing process partly through the decrease in macrophage NF-κB. Hence, plasma flux treatment should be tested in patients with burn wounds.

Objective: The aims of this study were to formulate gel from Gynura segetum (GS) extract and evaluate its burn-healing activity. Methods: GS extract was formulated using carbomer and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a stabilizer with various concentrations. Furthermore, the gel of GS extract was evaluated, including organoleptic, pH and viscosity. A burn-healing evaluation was conducted by making a wound with a hot plate on male Wistar rats, and 600 mg of the gel was applied. Subsequently, the presence of erythema and width contraction of the burns were observed for 15 d. Results: The result showed that the formulation containing 1 % of carbomer and 1.2 % of GS extract has the best physical stability. The gel also increased the rate of the healing process with decreased burn wound contraction (5.67 mm after 15 d) and the erythema than the control (8.50 mm after 15 d). The significance value was less than 0.05, indicating that the rate of the healing process was significantly different between the GS extract gel and the control. Conclusion: This finding demonstrated that the gel of GS extract can significantly improve the burns wound healing process and may also be safely used for topical preparation.
