Objective: To evaluate wound healing activity of ethanolic extract of Jasminum grandiflorum Linn. (J. grandiflorum) flowers in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups (n=6).Three groups – diabetic control, positive control (that received Glibenclamide) and treatment (that received J. grandiflorum Linn. Flower extract...

Aqueous extract of the roots of Radix paeoniae (Paeonaceae) was screened for wound healing by excision, incision and dead space wound models on Wistar rats. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialisation and wound contraction in case of excision wound and granulation tissue dry weight, breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in case of dead spac...

EROGLU, E., AGALAR, F., ALTUNTAS, I. and EROGLU, F. Effects of GlanulocyteColony Simulating Factor on Wound Healing in a Mouse Model of Burn Trauma. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2004, 204 (1), 11-16 ── The effects of burn trauma and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment on wound healing in a surgical incision model were studied. Sixty adult male mice were used in this study. Under gen...

Using incision, excision and dead space wound models in rats, a study was conducted on the effect of histamine on wound healing. Exogenous histamine given either ip or locally was without any effect. Semicarbazide as (histamine synthesis inhibitor) suppressed healing process (breaking strength of skin incision wound), decreased breaking strength and hydroxyproline content of granulation tissue ...

Achillea species are widely used for diarrhea, abdominal pain, stomachache and healing of wounds in folk medicine. To evaluate the wound healing activity of the plant, extracts were prepared with different solvents; hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol, respectively from the roots of Achillea biebersteinii. Linear incision by using tensiometer and circular excision wound models were e...

Effects of incision angle in construction of clear corneal cataract incision are studied with optical coherence tomography (OCT). A stable incision angle range is found to be existent for single-planed, clear corneal cataract incisions. When well pressurized, incision angles within this stable range result in well-apposed incision edges that resist gapping while incision angles falling outside ...

The present study was performed to substantiate the traditional claim of the wound healing activity of stem bark of Albizzia lebbeck Linn. in rats. The effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of stem bark of A. lebbeck (5% and 10% w/v topically and 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg p.o.) on excision, incision and dead space wound model were examined. The extracts were administered orally for 10 days fo...

conclusions diathermy incision is a safe and expedient technique. it takes less time than scalpel incision and loss of blood is also lower during incision. diathermy is associated with lesser post-operative pain and complications than the scalpel incision. diathermy should be method of choice in general elective surgery. objectives the aim of this study was to examine incisional time, blood los...

A novel J-shaped incision for liver transplantation was introduced in attempt to reduce the wound-related complication rate while maintaining comparable access. Some 58 consecutive patients with the classic Mercedes incision were compared with the following 60 consecutive patients with a J-shaped incision. Nine of 60 patients (15%) with a J-shaped incision were converted to an extensive incisio...
