    Context:Cotinus coggygria Scop. (Anacardiaceae) leaves that were used as wound healing in traditional Balkan and Anatolian folk medicine, could be potentially effective in treating diabetic wounds.Objective: This study investigates biochemical and histological effects of ethanol extract of C. coggygria (CCE) on excision wound model in diabetic rats.Materials and methods: This study was conducted on diabetic Wistar albino rats, which were injected by a single dose (50mg/kg i.p.) streptozotocin. Afterward an excision wound model was created in all animals; diabetic control rats were applied topically simple ointment and diabetic treatment rats were applied topically 5% (w/w) ointment with CC, once a day during the experimental period. Malondialdehyde, glutathione and hydroxyproline levels in wound tissues were investigated at the end of 3rd, 7th, and 14th days. Histopathological examination was also performed.Results: Hydroxyproline content was significantly increased in the CCE treated group versus control after the 3rd and 7th days (15.33 versus 11.83; 19.67 versus 15.67mg/g, p<0.05; respectively). A statistically significant elevation in glutathione at the end of 3rd, 7th, and 14th days (5.13 versus 1.58, p<0.05; 4.72 versus 1.88, p<0.05; 3.83 versus 1.88mol/g, p<0.05, respectively) and a statistically significant decrease in malondialdehyde level at the end of 7th day (4.49 versus 1.48nmol/g, p<0.05) were determined in the treated group versus control group. These results were also supported by histological analyses.Discussion and conclusion: These findings indicate that CCE accelerated the cutaneous wound healing process in diabetic wounds, in confirmation of its traditional use.

    The Effect of Algan Hemostatic Agent (AHA) on Wound Healing
    (MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2020-09-04) ŞEN, ALİ; Aksoy, Halil; Sener, Azize; Akakin, Dilek; Sen, Ali; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Ozcan, Sinemcan; Simsek, Ahmet Kaan; Sekerler, Turgut; Guzel, Sevket Ergun; Midi, Ahmet
    Objective: The Algan Hemostatic Agent (AHA) is a novel herbal originated blood stopper. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of AHA on wound healing on excisional wound model in rats. Methods: In this study, 54 adult Wistar albino rats were used. Rats were divided into 3 groups (saline, Madecassol (R) and AHA). Each group was then divided into 3 subgroups as the 3rd, 7th and 14th days. Two wounds were created in the dorsal thoracic region of the rats. One of the lesions was used for histopathological examinations and the other for hydroxyproline measurement. In order to evaluate the wound healing, wound area were measured during the whole treatment period and animals were sacrificed at the end of the 3rd, 7th and 14th days and tissue samples were taken for the determination of hydroxyproline levels. Results: AHA treatment did not cause significant difference in hydroxyproline level on days 3, 7, 14. The contraction percentage of wound area was higher in the AHA group on day 7 than that of the control group. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). On days 3 and 14, no significant difference was detected in the contraction percentage of wound area between the control and the AHA groups. AHA and Madecassol (R) results of epidermis regeneration on the 14th day, neutrophil infiltration on the 7th day and edema on the 3rd, 7th and 14th days were different in terms of histopathological parameters compared to the control group. Conclusion: Despite good histological findings, AHA did not significantly accelerate wound healing, but did not adversely affect wound healing as well.
