Background & Objective:  Perovskia abrotanoides Karel locally known as Brazambal, is widely used in medical practice to treat various disorders. Burn is a common source of injury and Brazambal ointment has been extensively used in burn wound healing in North of Iran. The purpose of this study was to examine the healing effect of Brazambal ointment in experimental model of burn. In addition, in-...

background thermal injury is associated with several biochemical and histopathological alteration in tissue. analysis of these objective parameters in research and clinical field are common to determine healing rate of burn wound. negative pressure wound therapy has been achieved wide success in treating chronic wounds. this study determines superficial burn wound healing with intermittent nega...

BACKGROUND Inflammation is integral to the injury response. The inflammatory response is essential to the host defense against infection and also to tissue regeneration and repair. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are critical activators of the innate immune response and present attractive therapeutic targets for inflammation-modulated tissue regeneration. The authors' previous study showed that depl...

BACKGROUND Cathepsin S is a cysteine protease, which is expressed in human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells under inflammatory and infectious conditions. This in vitro study was established to investigate the effect of cathepsin S on PDL cell wound closure. METHODS An in vitro wound healing assay was used to monitor wound closure in wounded PDL cell monolayers for 72 h in the presence and abs...

Background: Equine wounds, particularly those involving the distal portion of the limbs, often undergo prolonged complex healing and may enter a non-healing state with obvious financial and welfare implications. Poor blood supply and lower levels of oxygen to the lower limbs lead to imbalance of growth factors related to wound healing. Decellular amniotic membrane has been widely used in soft t...

background previous reports have shown that quince seed might have some healing effects on skin ulcers in rabbits. objectives to assess the potential healing effect of quince seed cream on human skin ulcers. patients and methods the present study was a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. fifty patients with skin ulcer caused by disposable biopsy punch 5 mm were allocated in two groups (...

background : effects of electromagnetic fields on healing have been investigated for centuries. substantial data indicates that exposure to electromagnetic field can lead to enhanced healing in both soft and hard tissues. helmholtz coil is a device that generates pulsed electromagnetic fields. objective : in this study, a pair of helmholtz coils for enhancing the healing process in periodontiti...
