Wound healing activity of Sida cordifolia Linn. in rats

Abstract: Introduction:The present study provides a scientific evaluation for the wound healing potential of ethanolic (EtOH) extract of Sida cordifolia Linn. (SCL) plant.Materials and Methods:Excision, incision and burn wounds were inflicted upon three groups of six rats each. Group I was assigned as control (ointment base). Group II was treated with 10% EtOH extract ointment. Group III was treated with standard silver sulfadiazine (0.01%) cream. The parameters observed were percentage of wound contraction, epitheliali… Show more

“…The main function of fibroblasts is the maintenance of the structural integrity of connective tissues, starting the synthesis and secretion of ECM components such as glycosaminoglycans and collagen fibers types I and III [10,11]. Fibroblasts are directly involved in the wound healing process being the principal cell type that establishes the collagen matrix at the wound site [64].…”

“…The continuous threads on both wound edges were tightened for good closure of the wound. After stitching, wound was left undressed then ointment base, MEZX ointment and standard ointment were applied daily until 10 days; when wounds were cured thoroughly the sutures were removed on the day 10 and tensile strength of cured wound skin was measured using tensiometer 22 .…”

“…The basic principle in wound healing is to minimize tissue damage, provide enough nourishment, bleeding, oxygenation of tissue, and prevent scar formation (Olczyk, Mencner, & Komosinska‐Vassev, ). The wound repair process consists of three main processes: inflammatory phase (consisting the establishment of homeostasis and inflammation), proliferative phase (consisting of granulation, contraction, and epithelialization), and remodeling phase (Pawar et al, ). These processes requires a complex interaction of cells (platelets, neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes cells), and of extracellular matrix components (ECM), integrins, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (Olczyk et al, ).…”
