An improvement in acute wound healing in rats by the synergistic effect of photobiomodulation and arginine.

ABSTRACT: In this probe, at first we examined the best route and dosage of arginine administration on wound healing in an excisional wound model in rats. Next, we intend to assess the impact of photobiomodulation (PBM) and arginine, individually and together, on the wound healing. In the pilot study, an excisional wound was made in each of 24 rats. There were 4 groups. Group 1 was the control group. In groups 2 and 3, wounds were topically treated with arginine ointments (ARG.) 2% and 5%, respectively. In group 4, arginine was injected (ARG. INJ.,i.p.). In the main phase, in 24 new rats, an excisional wound was made. There were 4 groups: group 5 served as the control. Wounds in group 6 were topically treated with ARG 2%. Wounds in group 7 were subjected to PBM. Wounds in group 8 were treated with PBM+ARG. 2%. On day 15, wound area measurement, wound strength, and stereological examination were performed. In the pilot study, we found that the ARG 2% ointment significantly decreased wound area than ARG. 5%, ARG. INJ. and control groups, and significantly increased wound strength compared to the control and ARG.5% groups. In the main phase, a significant decrease of wound area in all treatment regimens was induced. PBM?+?ARG. 2% and PBM treatment regimens significantly improved wound strength and almost all stereological parameters, compared to the control and ARG. 2% groups. PBM?+?ARG. 2% induced anti-inflammatory and angiogenic activities, and hastened the wound healing process in an excisional wound model in rats.

Project description:BackgroundPhotobiomodulation is widely being used to improve the wound healing process in dentistry and a vast majority of studies have proven its benefits. But there are plenty of knowledge gaps according to the optimal laser characteristics which should be used to maximize the healing effects of lasers. The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) as an adjunctive treatment to periodontal therapies to evaluate secondary intention gingival wound healing and post-operative pain.MethodsFive databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest, and Web of Sciences) were searched up to November 30, 2020, for clinical trials that reported the result of the application of PBM on secondary gingival healing wounds and post-operative pain and discomfort after periodontal surgeries. Two independent reviewers selected the eligible studies and the outcomes of interest were extracted. The quality of eligible studies was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.ResultsUltimately, twelve studies were included in this review. The application of PBM as an adjunct to periodontal surgeries resulted in a significant improvement in wound healing indices. The Landry wound healing index at the 7th post-operative day was significantly improved (SMD = 1.044 [95% CI 0.62-1.46]; p < 0.01) in PBM + surgery groups compared to the control groups. There was also a statistically significant increase in the complete wound epithelialization (RR = 3.23 [95% CI 1.66-6.31]; p < 0.01) at the 14th post-operative day compared to the control groups. The methods used to assess the post-operative pain were heterogeneous, and therefore the results were limited which made the meta-analysis for post-operative pain assessment not possible.ConclusionBased on the results of this review, PBM can be effectively used as a method to improve secondary intention wound healing. High-quality randomized clinical trials, however, are needed in the future to identify the optimal PBM irradiation parameters and the effect of PBM on post-operative pain.

Project description:BackgroundWe recently reported the clinical safety profile of RJX, a well-defined intravenous GMP-grade pharmaceutical formulation of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory vitamins as active ingredients, in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03680105) (Uckun et al., Front. Pharmacol. 11, 594321. 10.3389/fphar.2020.594321). The primary objective of the present study was to examine the effects of GMP-grade RJX on wound and burn injury healing in diabetic rats.MethodsIn the present study, a rat model of T2DM was used that employs HFD in combination with a single injection of STZ intraperitoneally (i.p) at a moderate dose level (45 mg/kg). Anesthetized diabetic rats underwent full-thickness skin excision on the back or were subjected to burn injury via a heated brass probe and then started on treatments with normal saline (NS = vehicle) or RJX administered via intraperitoneal injections for three weeks.FindingsNotably, diabetic rats treated with the 1.25 mL/kg or 2.5 mL/kg RJX (DM+RJX groups) rapidly healed their wounds as fast as non-diabetic control rats. Inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis along with fibrin and cell debris on the epithelial layer persisted for up to 14 days in the DM+NS group but not in RJX-treated groups. The histopathological score of wound healing on days 7 and 14 was better in diabetic rats treated with RJX than diabetic rats treated with NS and comparable to the scores for non-diabetic healthy rats consistent with an accelerated healing process. The residual wound area of RJX-treated rats was significantly smaller than that of NS-treated diabetic rats at each evaluation time point (P<0.001). The accelerating effect of RJX on diabetic wound healing was dose-dependent. We obtained similar results in the burn injury model. Our results demonstrate that RJX - at a dose level >10-fold lower than its clinical maximum tolerated dose (MTD) - accelerates the healing of excision wounds as well burn injury in diabetic rats.
