Background: Hydrolea zeylanica L. leaves are used traditionally for burns, wounds, antiseptic, and callus ulcers. Objective: The objective of the study was to discuss chemical composition and to evaluate the wound healing property of H. zeylanica L. methanol extract (HZLME) on rats using excision and incision wound models. Materials and Methods: Wistar albino rats (150-200 g) were divided into four groups (n = 6). Group I negative control (Water-soluble ointment base), Group II standard (povidone iodine [5% w/w] ointment), Group III Test I -HZLME ointment (5% w/w), and Groups IV Test II -H. zeylanica leaf aqueous extract ointment (5% w/w) were applied topically. In incision wound models, the treatment was given for 10 days from the day of wound; skin breaking strength was estimated in incision wound model. In excision wound model, treatment continued until wound is completely healed. Rate of wound contraction and period of epithelization was evaluated thereafter. The data were analyzed by oneway ANOVA, followed by Dunnett's test. Results: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry chromatogram analysis of the HZLME showed several peaks indicating the presence of various phytochemical constituents. HZLME increased the rate of wound contraction, decreased the period of epithelization and increased skin breaking strength. Conclusion: The use of H. zeylanica in various skin diseases has been proved by this work, as it showed a wound healing potential.

RESUMO:Artigo de revisão que trata da importância do tratamento da xerose e de fissuras nos pés de pacientes com diabetes mellitus. Essas fissuras se não tratadas, constituem porta de entrada para infecções e podem resultar na formação de úlceras, que são a causa mais comum das amputações de extremidades de causa não traumática. Por isso a prevenção de fissuras nos pés de diabéticos é fundamental, já que a cicatrização é um processo complicado nesses pacientes, devido à hiperglicemia. Aborda sobre produtos usados no tratamento de xerose e fissuras e o crescente interesse de pesquisadores e do mercado no uso de fitoterápicos com esse objetivo.Palavras-chave: diabetes, fissuras, cicatrização de feridas, tratamento, plantas medicinais ABSTRACT: The importance of the use of medicinal plants in the process of xerosis, fissures and healing. A review article that deals with the importance of treating xerosis and fissures in the feet of patients with diabetes mellitus. These wounds can be a gateway to infections and may result in the formation of ulcers, if untreated. The ulcers are the most common cause for the amputations of extremities at non-traumatic cases. For this reason, the prevention of fissures in the feet of diabetic patientsis basal, since healing is a complicated process in this patients because of their hyperglycemia symptom. This article addresses the products employed in the therapy of xerosis and fissures, and also investigates the increasing interest of researchers and market in the application of phytotherapic medicines for this purpose. REVISÃO INTRODUÇÃOMundialmente, um número crescente de indivíduos portadores de diabetes mellitus (DM) tem sido registrado e as complicações crônicas da doença, como por exemplo, o pé diabético, representam grande importância clínica. No Brasil a DM atinge em torno de 7,6% da população entre 30 e 69 anos de idade, sendo que 50% dos pacientes desconhecem o diagnóstico e 24% não fazem qualquer tipo de tratamento (Gross & Nehme, 1999;Milman et al., 2001;Bortoletto et al., 2009).A cada seis anos cresce em 18% o número de homens com DM e cerca de 20% dos idosos com mais de 65 anos têm a doença. Fatores de risco como a obesidade, o envelhecimento, mau controle glicêmico, tabagismo e hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) contribuem para esse crescimento, chegando a mais de 87,9 milhões de reais ao ano, o custo das internações hospitalares com a doença na rede pública brasileira (SBACVRJ, 2013). As complicações comuns da DM são as lesões crônicas nos vasos sanguíneos (vasculopatias) e nos nervos (neuropatias) afetando principalmente rins, retina, artérias, cérebro e nervos periféricos (Gross & Nehme, 1999;Bortoletto et al., 2009).Uma das principais causas de hospitalização de pacientes com DM é a amputação de membros inferiores, um fator de incapacidade, invalidez, aposentadoria precoce e morte que implica em altos custos financeiros. Geralmente, a amputação ocorre em decorrência das alterações vasculares e/ou neurológicas peculiares da doença, que são responsáveis pelo "pé ...
