Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The dried rhizome of Paris polyphylla Sm. is extensively used by traditional healers in India, China, and Vietnam to treat skin inflammation, cut wounds, uterine and traumatic bleeding, and cancer. AIM OF THE STUDY The traditional use of P. polyphylla rhizomes for treating wounds and bleeding has been reported previously. However, the potential of P. polyphylla in the treatment of diabetic wounds has not yet been explored. Our present study focused on the investigation of the wound-healing activity of P. polyphylla infused ointment in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats to validate the traditional claim. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hydroalcoholic extract of the dried rhizomes of P. polyphylla were quantified by validated and optimized HPTLC (High-performance thin layer chromatography) method for Paris saponin VII, Dioscin and Polyphyllin V. The extract was used to prepare P. polyphylla ointments (5 and 10%). P. polyphylla ointment was subjected to physiochemical analysis and skin irritation test. Thirty STZ-induced diabetic adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups (n = 6) and a circular excision wound was created. P. polyphylla ointment, ointment base (OB), and standard (STD) (Povidone Iodine 10%) were administered topically. The wound area of all groups were recorded every six days and compared with that of control. The epithelization period of each group was recorded. On day 18, the histopathological study of skin tissues of all groups was performed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Mallory's trichrome (MT). RESULTS Marker analysis and quantification of phytomolecules in hydroalcoholic extract ofP. Polyphylla were found to be of paris saponin VII (3.28 ± 0.08% w/w), dioscin (1.94 ± 0.12% w/w), and polyphyllin V (1.87 ± 0.84% w/w). A physiochemical study of P. polyphylla ointment showed that the prepared ointment was within an acceptable range and was not irritable to the skin. Daily topical administration of 10% P. polyphylla ointment (PP10) for 18 days completely healed the STZ-induced diabetic wounds. On day 18, the 5% P. polyphylla ointment (PP5) showed 99.1 ± 2.9% wound closure, while that of the standard and control was 78.4 ± 7.3% and 18.5 ± 5.9%, respectively. The epithelialization period of PP10 was 18 days, whereas that of the control was 28 days. Histopathological analysis of the progression of PP10 and PP5 wounds showed a decrease in inflammatory cells, regenerated epithelial layer, keratosis layer, hair follicles, fibroblasts, and collagen. Upon collagen intensity quantification of MT stained sections, an increase in collagen density of PP10 and PP5 treated groups was observed, showing accelerated wound healing potential of P. polyphylla extract in diabetic wounds compared to the standard ointment. CONCLUSION This study suggested the potential of P. polyphylla rhizomes derived formulation to treat diabetic wounds, although the plant is traditionally used to treat normal wounds. The results indicate the validation of traditional claim, which has been explored commercially in industrial aspect.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds require a multifactorial approach because several factors are involved in its occurrence. Herein we investigated whether transplantation of hyaluronic acid (HA) in combination with menstrual blood derived stem cells (MenSCs) could promote healing in diabetic rats. Thirty days after induction of diabetes, sixty animals were randomly planned into four equal groups: the untreated group, HA group, MenSC group, and HA+MenSC group. Sampling was done for histological, molecular, and tensiometrical assessments. Our results indicated that the wound contraction rate, volumes of new epidermis and dermis, collagen density, as well as tensiometrical parameter were considerably increased in the treatment groups compared to the untreated group and these changes were more obvious in the HA+MenSC ones. In addition, the expression levels of TGF-β and VEGF genes were significantly upregulated in treatment groups in comparison with the untreated group and were greater in the HA+MenSC group. This is while expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β genes were more considerably downregulated in the HA+MenSC group than the other groups. We concluded that the combined use of HA and MenSCs has more effects on diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
One of the serious challenges in diabetic patients is the occurrence of complications caused by the disease. One of the most important side effects is wounding in limbs. Due to the multifactorial nature of these wounds, treatments require a multifaceted approach. Therefore, the aim of the present study was whether the human amniotic membrane (HAM) in combination with menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) could promote wound healing in diabetic rats. Thirty days after induction of diabetes, the animals were randomly allocated into four equal groups (n=15): the control group, HAM group, MenSC group, and HAM+MenSC group. Sampling was done on days 7, 14, and 21 for histological, molecular, and tensiometrical evaluations. The results showed that the wound healing rate, collagen deposition, volumes of new epidermis and dermis, as well as tensiometrical characteristics were significantly increased in the treatment groups compared to the control group, and these changes were more obvious in the HAM+MenSC ones (P<0.05). Moreover, the expression levels of TGF-β, bFGF, and VEGF genes were considerably increased in treatment groups compared to the control group and were greater in the HAM+MenSC group (P<0.05). This is while expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β decreased more significantly in the HAM+MenSC group than the other groups (P<0.05). We concluded that the combined use of HAM and MenSCs has a more significant effect on diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is one of the catastrophic events in the nervous system that leads to the loss of sensory and motor function of the spinal cord at the site of injury. Considering that several factors such as apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress play a role in the spread of damage caused by trauma, therefore, the treatment should also be based on multifactorial approaches. Currently, we investigated the effects of human menstrual blood stem cells (MenSCs)-derived exosomes in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the recovery of TSCI in rats. Ninety male mature Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were planned into five equal groups, including; control group, TSCI group, Exo group (underwent TSCI and received MenSCs -derived exosomes), HBOT group (underwent TSCI and received HBOT), and Exo+HBOT group (underwent TSCI and received MenSCs -derived exosomes plus HBOT). After the behavioral evaluation, tissue samples were obtained for stereological, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and molecular assessments. Our results showed that the numerical density of neurons, the concentrations of antioxidative biomarkers (CAT, GSH, and SOD), and neurological function scores were significantly greater in the treatments group than in the TSCI group, and these changes were more obvious in the Exo+HBOT ones (P<0.05). This is while the numerical densities of apoptotic cells and glial cells, the levels of an oxidative factor (MDA) and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) were considerably decreased in the treatment groups, specially the Exo+HBOT group, compared to the TSCI group (P<0.05). We conclude that the co-administration of exosomes derived from MenSCs and HBOT has more neuroprotective effects in animals with TSCI.

Abstract
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a condition characterized by complete or incomplete motor and sensory impairment, as well as dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, caused by factors such as trauma, tumors, or inflammation. Current treatment methods primarily include traditional approaches like spinal canal decompression and internal fixation surgery, steroid pulse therapy, as well as newer techniques such as stem cell transplantation and brain-spinal cord interfaces. However, the above methods have limited efficacy in promoting axonal and neuronal regeneration. The challenge in medical research today lies in promoting spinal cord neuron regeneration and regulating the disrupted microenvironment of the spinal cord. Studies have shown that gas molecular therapy is increasingly used in medical research, with gasotransmitters such as hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and hydrogen exhibiting neuroprotective effects in central nervous system diseases. The gas molecular protect against neuronal death and reshape the microenvironment of spinal cord injuries by regulating oxidative, inflammatory and apoptotic processes. At present, gas therapy mainly relies on inhalation for systemic administration, which cannot effectively enrich and release gas in the spinal cord injury area, making it difficult to achieve the expected effects. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the use of nanocarriers to achieve targeted enrichment and precise control release of gas at Sites of injury has become one of the emerging research directions in SCI. It has shown promising therapeutic effects in preclinical studies and is expected to bring new hope and opportunities for the treatment of SCI. In this review, we will briefly outline the therapeutic effects and research progress of gasotransmitters and nanogas in the treatment of SCI.

Abstract
Due to the multifactorial nature of diabetic wounds, the most effective treatments require combinatorial approach. Herein we investigated whether engraftment of a bioengineered three-dimensional dermal derived matrix scaffold (DDMS) in combination with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSs), could accelerate diabetic wound healing. Diabetic animals were randomly planned into the control group, DDMS group, ADS group, and DDMS+ADS group. On days 7, 14, and 21, tissue samples were obtained for stereological, molecular, and tensiometrical assessments. We found that the wound contraction rate, the total volumes of new epidermis and dermis, the numerical densities of fibroblasts and blood vessels, collagen density, and tensiometrical parameters were meaningfully greater in the treated groups than in the control group, and these changes were more obvious in the DDMS+ADS ones (p < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of TGF-β, bFGF, and VEGF genes were considerably upregulated in treated groups compared to the control group and were greater in the DDMS+ADS group (p < 0.05). This is while expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, as well as the numerical densities of neutrophils and macrophages decreased more considerably in the DDMS+ADS group than in the other groups (p < 0.05). Overall, it was found that using both DDMS engraftment and ADS transplantation has more impact on diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
In recent years, the amnion (AM) has emerged as a versatile tool for stimulating tissue regeneration and has been of immense interest for clinical applications. AM is an abundant and cost-effective tissue source that does not face strict ethical issues for biomedical applications. The outstanding biological attributes of AM, including side-dependent angiogenesis, low immunogenicity, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and antibacterial properties facilitate its usage for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the clinical usage of thin AM sheets is accompanied by some limitations, such as handling without folding or tearing and the necessity for sutures to keep the material over the wound, which requires additional considerations. Therefore, processing the decellularized AM (dAM) tissue into a temperature-sensitive hydrogel has expanded its processability and applicability as an injectable hydrogel for minimally invasive therapies and a source of bioink for the fabrication of biomimetic tissue constructs by recapitulating desired biochemical cues or pre-defined architectural design. This article reviews the multi-functionality of dAM hydrogels for various biomedical applications, including skin repair, heart treatment, cartilage regeneration, endometrium regeneration, vascular graft, dental pulp regeneration, and cell culture/carrier platform. Not only recent and cutting-edge research is reviewed but also available commercial products are introduced and their main features and shortcomings are elaborated. Besides the great potential of AM-derived hydrogels for regenerative therapy, intensive interdisciplinary studies are still required to modify their mechanical and biological properties in order to broaden their therapeutic benefits and biomedical applications. Employing additive manufacturing techniques (e.g., bioprinting), nanotechnology approaches (e.g., inclusion of various bioactive nanoparticles), and biochemical alterations (e.g., modification of dAM matrix with photo-sensitive molecules) are of particular interest. This review article aims to discuss the current function of dAM hydrogels for the repair of target tissues and identifies innovative methods for broadening their potential applications for nanomedicine and healthcare.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds, as one of the most important complications of diabetes, face many challenges in treatment. Herein we investigated whether decellularized human amniotic membrane (dAM) loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) could promote healing in diabetic rats. Sixty diabetic rats were randomly planned into the untreated group, dAM group, EGCG group, and dAM + EGCG group. On days 7, 14, and 21, five rats from each group were sampled for stereological, molecular, and tensiometrical assessments. Our finding revealed that the wound closure rate, the total volumes of new epidermis and dermis, the numerical densities of fibroblasts, blood vessels, collagen density as well as tensiometrical parameters of the healed wounds were considerably increased in the treated groups than in the untreated group, and these changes were more obvious in the dAM + EGCG ones. Furthermore, the expression of TGF-β, bFGF, and VEGF genes were significantly upregulated in all treated groups compared to the untreated group and were greater in the dAM + EGCG group. This is while expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, as well as cell numerical densities of neutrophils and macrophages decreased more considerably in the dAM + EGCG group in comparison to the other groups. In conclusion, it was found that using both dAM transplantation and EGCG has more effect on diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR) is a terrible non-traumatic injury that occurs after abdominal aortic occlusion and causes serious damage to neurological function. Several treatment strategies have been suggested for IR, but they were not unable to effectively improve these conditions. Herein we investigated whether exosomes derived from human placental mesenchymal stem cells (hpMSCs-Exos) in combination with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) could alleviate injury and promote recovery in IR rats. Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into five equal groups. In addition to the control group that only underwent laparotomy, IR animals were planned into four groups as follows: IR group; IR-Exos group; IR-HBO group; and IR-Exos + HBO group. Neurological function evaluated before, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after injury. After the last neurological evaluation, tissue samples were obtained for stereological, biochemical, and molecular assessments. Our results indicated that the neurological function scores (MDI), the numerical density of neurons, the levels of antioxidative factors (GSH, SOD, and CAT), and anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) were considerably greater in treatment groups than in the IR group, and these changes were more obvious in the IR-Exos + HBO ones. This is while the numerical density of glial cells, the levels of an oxidative factor (MDA) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-18), as well as the expression of an apoptotic protein (caspase-3) were meaningfully decreased in treatment groups, especially IR-Exos + HBO group, compared to the IR group. Generally, it was found that co-administration of hpMSCs-Exos and HBO has synergistic neuroprotective effects in the rats undergoing IR.

Abstract
Diabetic wound is one of the main challenges in dermatology. Although stem cell-based treatment has therapeutic benefits in wound repair, the clinical application is still limited. Herein we investigated whether adipose stem cells -derived exosomes (Exo) loaded on hyaluronic acid (HA) could promote healing in diabetic rats. Sixty diabetic rats were randomly planned into the control group, Exo group, HA group, and HA+Exo group. On days 7, 14, and 21, five rats from each group were sampled for stereological, molecular, and tensiometrical assessments. Our results indicated that the wound closure rate, the total volumes of new epidermis and dermis, the numerical densities of fibroblasts, the length density blood vessels, collagen density as well as tensiometrical parameters of the healed wounds were significantly higher in the treated groups than in the control group, and these changes were more obvious in the HA+Exo ones. Furthermore, the expression of TGF-β and VEGF genes were meaningfully upregulated in all treated groups compared to the control group and were greater in the HA+Exo group. This is while expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, as well as numerical densities of neutrophils decreased more considerably in the HA+Exo group in comparison to the other groups. Generally, it was found that using both HA injection and exosomes has more effect on diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a critical medical condition during which sensorimotor function is lost. Current treatments are still unable to effectively improve these conditions, so it is important to pay attention to other effective approaches. Currently, we investigated the combined effects of human placenta mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs)-derived exosomes along with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in the recovery of SCI in rats. Ninety male mature Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were allocated into five equal groups, including; sham group, SCI group, Exo group (underwent SCI and received hPMSCs-derived exosomes), HBO group (underwent SCI and received HBO), and Exo+HBO group (underwent SCI and received hPMSCs-derived exosomes plus HBO). Tissue samples at the lesion site were obtained for the evaluation of stereological, immunohistochemical, biochemical, molecular, and behavioral characteristics. Findings showed a significant increase in stereological parameters, biochemical factors (GSH, SOD, and CAT), IL-10 gene expression and behavioral functions (BBB and EMG Latency) in treatment groups, especially Exo+HBO group, compared to SCI group. In addition, MDA levels, the density of apoptotic cells and gliosis, as well as expression of inflammatory genes (TNF-α and IL-1β) were considerably reduced in treatment groups, especially Exo+HBO group, compared to SCI group. We conclude that co-administration of hPMSCs-derived exosomes and HBO has synergistic neuroprotective effects in animals undergoing SCI.

Abstract
One of the most common complications of chronic scrotal hyperthermia (SHT) is a serious disorder in the male reproductive system. The most important factor in the occurrence of these disorders is oxidative stress. Currently, we investigated the effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), as a highly potent antioxidant, against cells and tissue disorders in mice affected by chronic SHT. Fifty-six male adult NMRI mice were allocated into seven equal groups. Except the non-treated (Control) group, six other groups were exposed to heat stress. Two treated groups including Preventive and Curative received oral administration of EGCG (50 mg/kg/day) starting immediately before heat exposure and fifteen consecutive days after the end of the heat exposure, respectively. For each treated group, two subgroups including positive control (Pre/Cur + PC groups) and vehicle (Pre/Cur + vehicle groups) were considered. At the end of the study, sperm characteristics, testosterone levels, stereological parameters, apoptosis, oxidant state, and molecular assessments were performed. We found that the sperm parameters, testosterone levels, the numerical density of spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, spermatids, sertoli, leydig cells, and seminiferous tubules, biochemical factors (except MDA), and expression of c-kit gene were significantly higher in the Preventive and Curative groups, especially in Preventive ones, compared to other groups (P < 0.05). This is while expression of HSP72 and NF-κβ genes, MDA levels, as well as density of apoptotic cells considerably decreased in both EGCG-treated groups compared to other groups and it was more pronounced in Preventive ones (P < 0.05). Generally, EGCG attenuated cellular and molecular disorders induced by heat stress in the testis and it was more pronounced in Preventive status.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) following trauma is a devastating neurological event that can lead to loss of sensory and motor functions. However, the most effective measures to prevent the spread of damage are treatment measures in the early stages. Currently, we investigated the combined effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) along with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in the recovery of SCI in rats. Ninety male mature Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly planned into five equal groups (n = 18). In addition to sham group that only underwent laminectomy, SCI rats were allocated into 4 groups as follows: control group; HBO group; EGCG group; and HBO + EGCG group. Tissue samples at the lesion site were obtained for stereological, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and molecular evaluation. In addition, behavioral tests were performed to assess of neurological functions. The finding indicated that the stereological parameters, antioxidant factors (CAT, GSH, and SOD), IL-10 gene expression levels and neurological functions were considerably increased in the treatment groups in comparison with control group, and these changes were more obvious in the HBO + EGCG group (P < 0.05). On the other hand, we observed that the density of apoptotic cells and gliosis, the biochemical levels of MDA and the expression levels of inflammatory genes (TNF-α and IL-1β) in the treatment groups, especially the HBO + EGCG group, were considerably reduced in comparison with control group (P < 0.05). We conclude that co-administration of HBO and EGCG has a synergistic neuroprotective effects in animals undergoing SCI.

Abstract
The most important factors in the non-optimal healing of diabetic wounds are the lack of a suitable scaffold in the wound site for the migration and replacement of cells, as well as the lack of blood supply and effective growth factors in the wound site. Herein we investigated whether a bioengineered micro-porous three-dimensional decellularized amniotic membrane-scaffold (DAMS) in combination with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) could promote healing in ischemic wounds in diabetic type 1 rat. The diabetic animals were randomly divided into non-treated (untreated group), engraftment by DAMS (DAMS group), transplanted by ASCs (ASC group), and DAMS in combination with ASCs (DAMS+ASC group). Stereological, immunohistochemical, molecular, and tensiometrical assessments were performed on post-surgical days 7, 14, and 21. We found that the rate of wound closure, the volumes of new epidermis and dermis, the numerical density of fibroblasts and blood vessels, the numbers of proliferating cells and collagen deposition as well as biomechanical properties of the healed wounds were significantly higher in the treatment groups in comparison to the untreated group, and were the highest in DAMS+ASC ones. The transcripts for TGF-β and VEGF genes were significantly upregulated in all treatment regimens compared to the untreated group and were the highest for DAMS+ASC group. This is while expression of TNF-α and IL-1β as well as cell density of neutrophils decreased more significantly in DAMS+ASC group as compared with other groups. Overall, it was found that using both DAMS engraftment and ASC transplantation has more impact on diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Chronic non healing wounds in diabetic patients still impose a major problem in modern medicine. Especially additional peripheral vascular disease complicates treatment success in these patients. Thus, we analyzed the effects of 11,12 epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) in a combined model of hyperglycemia and ischemia in mice. Hyperglycemia was induced by Streptozotozin 2 weeks prior to wounding. 3 days before wound creation 2 of the 3 suppling vessels of the moue ear were cautherized for ischemia. Either 11,12 EET or solvent for control was applied. Wound closure as well as TNF-α, TGF-β, SDF-1α, VEGF, CD31, and Ki67 were measured. The wounds closed on day 14.4 ± 0.4 standard deviation (SD). 11,12 EET treatment enhanced healing to 9.8 ± 0.6 SD. TNF-α level was augmented on day 9 compared to control and receded on day 18. TGF-β seemed to be elevated all days observed after 11,12 EET treatment. SDF-1α was enhanced on day 6 and 9 by 11,12 EET, and VEGF on day 6 and 18 as well as CD13 on day 3, 6, and 18. 11,12 EET did not alter Ki67. 11,12 EET are able to rescue deteriorated wound healing in a combined model of hyperglycamia and ischemia by resolution of inflammation, augmentation of neovascularization and increasing expression of TGF-β as well as SDF-1α.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress, inflammation and cell apoptosis are the most important destructive factors in the spread of damage following trauma to the spinal cord. Therefore, presently, we investigated the synergistic effects of quercetin along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic compounds in the recovery of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) in a rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-five male mature Sprague-Dawley rats allocated into 5 groups, including: Sham group (SG), TSCI group, Quercetin group (underwent TSCI and received quercetin), HBOT group (underwent TSCI and received HBOT), and Quercetin+ HBOT group (underwent TSCI and received quercetin plus HBOT). Finally, the spinal cord samples at the traumatic site were harvested and various characteristics were evaluated, including the total volumes of the spinal cord and its central cavity as well as the numerical density of neuron and glial cells by stereological method, oxidant (malondialdehyde; MDA) and antioxidant (glutathione; GSH, superoxide dismutase; SOD and catalase; CAT) factors by biochemical method, molecular levels of IL-10, TNF-α and IL-1β by qRT-PCR method, and cell apoptosis by immunohistochemistry method against Caspase-3 antibody. Furthermore, Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) and electromyography latency (EMG Latency) tests were performed to evaluate neurological functions. RESULTS Findings demonstrated that the stereological characteristics, biochemical factors (except MDA), expression of IL-10 gene and behavioral functions were significantly better in Quercetin, HBOT and Quercetin+HBOT groups than TSCI group, and were greater in Quercetin+HBOT ones (P < 0.05). While MDA levels, expression of TNF-α and IL-1β genes as well as the density of apoptotic cells significantly more decreased in Quercetin+HBOT group compared to other treated groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, co-administration of quercetin with HBOT has synergistic neuroprotective effects in animals underwent TSCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most important and common complications of diabetes is a disorder and defect in diabetic wound healing. AIMS The aim of present study was to investigate the synergistic effects of decellularized human amniotic membrane (dHAM) engraftment and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSs) transplantation in the healing of delayed and ischemic diabetic wound. METHODS Sixty diabetic male rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15), including untreated (Control) group, engraftment by dHAM (dHAM) group, transplanted by ADSs (ADS) group, and engraftment by dHAM plus transplanted by ADSs (dHAM + ADS) group. Sampling was performed on Days 7, 14, and 21 after surgery. Evaluation tests included stereology, immunohistochemistry, molecular, and biomechanical. RESULTS Our results showed that the wound closure rate, volumes of newly formed epidermis and dermis, density of fibroblasts and blood vessels, collagen deposition, density of proliferation cells, expression levels of TGF-β and VEGF genes, and biomechanical characteristics were significantly higher in all treated groups compared with control group; however, these changes were considerable in the combination group. This is while that the density of neutrophils and expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β genes in the treated groups, especially in the combination group, were significantly reduced compared with control group. CONCLUSION Generally, the simultaneous use of dHAM and ADS accelerates healing and improves the quality of repaired diabetic wounds.

Investigation on wound healing effect of Mediterranean medicinal plants and some related phenolic compounds: A review. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 298:115663. [PMID: 36038091 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The human skin constitutes a biological barrier against external stress and wounds can reduce the role of its physiological structure. In medical sciences, wounds are considered a major problem that requires urgent intervention. For centuries, medicinal plants have been used in the Mediterranean countries for many purposes and against wounds. AIM OF THIS REVIEW Provides an outlook on the Mediterranean medicinal plants used in wound healing. Furthermore, the wound healing effect of polyphenolic compounds and their chemical structures are also summarized. Moreover, we discussed the wound healing process, the structure of the skin, and the current therapies in wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The search was performed in several databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. The following Keywords were used individually and/or in combination: the Mediterranean, wound healing, medicinal plants, phenolic compounds, composition, flavonoid, tannin. RESULTS The wound healing process is distinguished by four phases, which are respectively, hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The Mediterranean medicinal plants are widely used in the treatment of wounds. The finding showed that eighty-nine species belonging to forty families were evaluated for their wound-healing effect in this area. The Asteraceae family was the most reported family with 12 species followed by Lamiaceae (11 species). Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, and Algeria were the countries where these plants are frequently used in wound healing. In addition to medicinal plants, results showed that nineteen phenolic compounds from different classes are used in wound treatment. Tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, curcumin, luteolin, chrysin, rutin, kaempferol, quercetin, icariin, morin, epigallocatechin gallate, taxifolin, silymarin, hesperidin, naringin, isoliquiritin, puerarin, genistein, and daidzein were the main compounds that showed wound-healing effect. CONCLUSION In conclusion, medicinal plants and polyphenolic compounds provide therapeutic evidence in wound healing and for the development of new drugs in this field.

Abstract
Background Diabetic wounds are one of the most important issues in diabetic patients. It seems that Juglans regia L. leaf with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials can be profitable for healing of diabetic wounds. The aim of present study was to investigate the topical administration of Juglans regia L. leaf extract in diabetic wound healing. Methods Seventy-five diabetic male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 15), including: untreated (Control) group, Eucerin group, 2% Juglans regia L. ointment (JRL 2%) group, 5% Juglans regia L. ointment (JRL 5%) group, and Phenytoin group as a reference drug. Sampling was performed at days 7, 14, and 21 after surgery. Evaluation tests included stereology, immunohistochemistry, molecular, and biomechanical. Results Our results showed that the wound closure rate, volumes of newly formed of epidermis and dermis, density of fibroblasts and blood vessels, collagen deposition, density of proliferation cells, expression levels of TGF-β and VEGF genes, and biomechanical characteristics were significantly higher in extract groups compared to control and eucerin groups, however, these changes were considerable in the JRL 5% group (P < 0.05). This is while that the density of neutrophils and expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β genes in the extract groups, especially in the JRL 5% group, were significantly reduced compared to control and eucerin groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Topical administration of Juglans regia L. leaf extract, especially in 5% concentration, considerably accelerates diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and wound-healing potential of Feijoa sellowiana fruit extract using stereological and molecular methods in experimental rat models. MATERIALS Male Wistar rats were divided into four equal groups: non-treated, vehicle, Feijoa sellowiana fruit extract ointment (5% weight/weight) and the reference drug (madecassol). All animals were treated topically once per day. At the end of the study, wound samples were harvested for histological, stereological, immunohistochemical and molecular assessments to determine the in vivo healing potential and anti-inflammatory activity. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed for the characterisation of the phenolic acids in the extract. RESULTS The study included 64 rats in total. Our results showed that the wound closure, volume of new epidermis and dermis, density of fibroblasts and blood vessels, and the deposition of collagen were significantly higher in both extract and madecassol groups compared to the non-treated and vehicle groups, with superior healing in the extract group. The transcript for the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β gene was significantly upregulated in both extract and madecassol groups compared to non-treated and vehicle groups and was highest for the extract group. The density of inflammatory cells and expression levels of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 protein and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α gene in the extract and madecassol groups, especially in the extract group, were significantly reduced compared to non-treated and vehicle groups. CONCLUSION Our results confirm that the Feijoa sellowiana fruit extract is a valuable source of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and can allow for damaged tissue in wounds to recover markedly.

Synergistic effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue liraglutide and ZnO on the antibacterial, hemostatic, and wound healing properties of nanofibrous dressings. J Biosci Bioeng 2022; 134:248-258. [PMID: 35760699 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2022.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Bacterial infections and poor vascularization delay wound healing, thus necessitating alternative strategies for functional wound dressings. Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been shown to exert a potent antibacterial effect against bacterial species. Similarly, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide (LG) has been shown to promote vascularization and improve wound healing. The objective of this research was to investigate the synergistic effect of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and LG to simultaneously induce antibacterial, hemostatic, and vascularization effects for infected wound healing. Electrospun poly (l-lactide-co-glycolide)/gelatin (PLGA/Gel) membranes containing ZnO-NPs and LG displayed good biocompatibility and hemostatic ability. Both, ZnO-NPs and LG exhibited synergistic antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli as well as improved the migration and tubule-like network formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. Once evaluated in a bacterial-infected wound model in rats, the membranes loaded with ZnO-NPs and LG effectively promoted wound healing causing significant reduction in wound area and scar-like tissue formation. Therefore, ZnO-NPs/LG synergism may offer an invaluable solution for the treatment of poorly healing infected wounds.
