Wound mending is a complex organic cycle that brings about the reclamation of tissue honesty. Physiologically, it very well may be separated into four particular periods of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling (redesigning). This chapter portrays the cellular premise of wound mending and extracellular flagging cycles, which is responsible to control them. The capacity of fibroblasts, neutrophils, platelets, and macrophages is contemplated exhaustively. The idea of mending by essential and optional expectation is talked about. Numerous components are known to unfavorably influence mending including undernourishment, hypoxia, immunosuppression, ongoing sickness, and medical procedure. It is fundamental that specialists comprehend the key physiological cycles associated with mending to limit patient illness from postponed recuperating.
Leucas lanata Wall. ex Benth. (Lamiaceae) is an important plant commonly known as Biskapra or Gumma and used to treat many ailments by traditional healers and local peoples. This study was designed to evaluate wound healing potential of Leucas lanata through the excision wound model and functional changes in biochemical indicators of antioxidant parameters. This study also investigated the antimicrobial as well as antioxidant activity of L. lanata. The 50% EtOH extract of L. lanata was found to contain 0.74% of phenolic and 0.21% of flavonoid content. The IC5O value was 122.56 μg/ml and reducing power increased with the increasing concentrations. The antimicrobial activity of the extract was more effective against bacterial strains compared to fungal strains. Remarkable wound healing activity was observed with the 10% (w/w) ointment of L. lanata 50% EtOH extract. In the study of uninfected wounds, epithelization period was reduced from 24.66±0.97 for the control group treated with blank ointment to 12.16±0.36 for the group treated with 10% LLEE ointment. Similarly, in case of infected wounds with Staphylococcus epidermidis, the percentage of wound contraction was significantly enhanced. Both doses of extract significantly increased superoxide dismutase, catalase, reduced glutathione when compared with the control group of infected and uninfected wound. HPLC analysis showed the presence of gallic, protocatechuic, chlorogenic, caffeic and ferulic acids. These compounds have important biological activities and responsible for antimicrobial and wound healing activity. The study provided sufficient evidences that, L. lanata might be indeed potential sources to treat many diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
