Background/Objectives: Burn injuries present significant treatment challenges due to the intricate nature of healing process. Bombyx mori L. (silkworm) derivatives, containing healing-promoting proteins such as sericin and fibroin, well anti-inflammatory enzyme serrapeptase, have shown promise potential agents. This study aimed identify optimal dosage silkworm body gland extracts for burn healing, compare selected dose’s effectiveness with that cocoons, assess combined effects a cocoon...
Abstract Hypericum species have a long-term use as wound healing agents, with the most common preparation being infused oil from aerial parts. It contains naphthodianthrones, phloroglucinols, and essential oil. An extensive literature survey shows that, unlike napthodianthrones oils spp. not yet been evaluated for their efficacy. The present study aims to assess efficacy of H. perforatum, plant recognized in European Pharmacopoeia having properties, well 2 other commonly used Greece agents...
Background: The silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) and its cocoon are rich in bioactive proteins like sericin fibroin, as well enzymes such serrapeptase, which possess anti-inflammatory skin-healing properties. This study aimed to evaluate the vivo effects of various products, including patches extracts from body glands, on healing second-degree burns. Methods: Hairless, female SKH-2 mice were used model tested formulations containing 1%, 10%, or 20% gland extracts, cocoon-derived patches. In...
Hypericum has been used as wound healing agent since classical Antiquity. The most common preparation for the treatment of wounds and skin inflammations is infused oil obtained from aerial parts, containing napthodianthrones, phloroglucinols essential (EO); however, there much controversy in scientific community regarding composition stability this formulation [1]. Extensive literature survey shows, that EO not yet evaluated efficacy, although many studies report antimicrobial, antioxidant,...
