A B S T R A C TEthnopharmacological relevance: Disposed earthworm has been used to treat various common ailments including burns, arthritis, itching, and inflammation for thousands of years in China. As their remarkable ability to fully regenerate in a scar-free manner, regenerated tissue homogenate of amputated Eisenia fetida (E. fetida) have been considered as an excellent wound repair therapy in our previous study. We have demonstrated that regenerated earthworm (G-90') can perform higher wound repair ability to non-regeneration tissue (G-90) through significant promotion of cutaneous wound repair in mice after their administration into wound beds. Objective: In the present study, we aimed to reveal the mechanism of G-90' and to explore a potential wound healing accelerated strategy. Methods and results: Two functional proteins-HSP70 and lysozyme in G-90′ were confirmed by cross-identification of LC-MS/MS and transcriptome analyses. Followed with semi-quantitative PCR and western blot, their expression were validated to up-regulate in 3-day regenerated tissues (G-90'). Conclusion: This study implies the therapeutic potency of G-90' for wound recovery and provides a new strategy to assess other natural materials targeting wound healing with the tail-amputated E .fetida as a model organism.

“…Wound healing is a complex process that comprises three phases of inflammation, proliferation, and maturation, and it involves the well-organized and highly complex interaction of different tissues and cells (Agyare et al, 2016; Jarić et al, 2018). Preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts of bitter melon showed that there were tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, and saponins in the extract.…”

“…In developing countries, 80% of people use conventional medicine to treat their health problems (Dandawate et al, 2016). As a result of this, many recent studies have focused on what kinds of effective and safe therapeutic agents can be obtained from natural sources to treat different diseases (Palamthodi and Lele, 2014;Agyare et al, 2016;Jarić et al 2018). Various herbs have been used to treat wounds due to their availability and the low risk of side effects (Kumar et al, 2013;Budovsky et al, 2015).…”

There is no consensus on the properties of an ideal dressing for treating wounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of dressings using topically administered bitter melon extract with olive oil, pure olive oil, nitrofurazone, and saline in the healing of ischemic wounds. A sample group of 48 rats was used in the trial. Their wounds were treated with bitter melon extract, pure olive oil, nitrofurazone, and saline. Data were collected between October 2014 and April 2015. The highest percentage (94.7%) of wound healing was observed in the bitter melon extract group and the lowest percentage (86.3%) in the nitrofurazone group. At the end of the 21st day, macroscopic reepithelialization was observed in 9 wounds in the bitter melon extract group (75%), in 6 wounds in the pure olive oil group (50%), and in only 3 wounds in the nitrofurazone and saline groups (25%). It can be concluded that dressing with a bitter melon extract is more efficient in the treatment of wounds than using nitrofurazone or saline, and that dressing with olive oil accelerates wound healing, although not as much as dressing with bitter melon extract.

The ultrasound-assisted extraction of Juglans nigra L. leaves was optimized with respect to total phenolic content (TP) of the extracts by varying the concentration of aqueous ethanol solution (E) and different solvent-to-solid ratio (S). The influence and optimum of the operating parameters (E and S) was examined using response surface methodology (RSM). The statistical criteria indicated the adequacy, reliability and precision of the developed RSM model. RSM showed that maximum extraction yield of TP 28.59 mg g -1 of draw plant was achieved at the optimal values of 50% E and 20 kg kg -1 S. Using the modelled optimized conditions, the detected relative difference between the predicted and the experimental yield was ±2.3 %. The determined TP content in the extracts varied from 12.54 to 29.26 mg GAE g -1 of dry plant indicated that J. nigra is a valuable source of phenolic substances. The extracts of J. nigra leaves obtained under optimal conditions showed good antioxidant activity (IC 50 = = 18.91±0.03 μg cm -3 ) which was determined by the scavenging effect on 2,2--diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical. The optimization of the TP extraction process is the important step in improving techno-economics of the potential commercial preparation of J. nigra extracts, as natural source of antioxidants.(CC) 2018 SCS.1274 GAVRILOVIĆ et al. ivity of black walnut, as well as ability of black walnut to depress the tumour growth rate and to prevent lead induced testicular toxicity in rats. [2][3][4][5] The polyphenolic compounds, important parameters in assessing the quality of numerous natural products, are responsible for beneficial health effect these products exhibit. 6 The polyphenolic profiles of bark, sapwood and heartwood, leaves and husks from J. nigra were characterized using different polyphenols (juglone, α-hydrojuglone-4-glucoside, myricetin, myricitrin, sakuranetin, sakuranin, neosakuranin and o-diphenols). [7][8][9] The extraction of polyphenolic compounds from Juglans species has been carried out with methanol and ethanol as solvents. [10][11][12] In recent years two extraction methods such as ultrasound-assisted (US-AE) and microwave-assisted extractions have been used for the extraction of polyphenolic compounds from the leaves of Juglans species. 11,12 US-AE offers a series of advantages such as improved efficiency, reduced extraction time and temperature. 13,14 There several reports on the ultrasound-assisted extraction of polyphenols from J. regia leaves. 11,15 On the other hand, there is no data on US--AE of total phenolics (TP) from J.nigra leaves.Many factors, such as solvent concentration, temperature and extraction time, have been determined to influence the US-AE efficacy of polyphenolic compounds from J. regia leaves. 11 Optimization of ultrasound extraction and simultaneous microwave/ultrasonic-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from J. regia was assessed. 11,16 Despite the interesting properties of J. nigra and its extracts, there is lack of data regarding the optimal conditions for the pol...
