Wound healing properties

Croton cascarilloides Raeushel C. tiglium L. a Dou (Croton) (seed) Croton resin, phorbol, crotonic acid, crotin, crotonoside.33-144 This herb is very toxic. Purgative, wound healing properties. 

Benefits Red clover is traditionally believed to have relaxant, expectorant and wound-healing properties. 

Despite the variety of different sources, sequences and structures, all cationic antimicrobial peptides share some common features small size (12-50 amino acids), positive net charge (+2 to +9), amphiphilic (>30% hydrophobic amino acids) and antimicrobial and/or immunomodulatory activity. Some cationic antimicrobial peptides also show antiviral (14) and/or anticancer activity (15) as well as wound healing properties (16). More than 1000...

Most medical reports have been concerned with the suitability of various titanium alloys as implant materials. Such implants in dogs have shown soft tissue to have a high tolerance for titanium metal, based on a lack of irritation, good wound healing properties, and encapsulation of the metal by fibrous tissues (Nordman and Berlin 1986).

Cationic polymers were probably superior mucoadhesives due to the ability to develop molecular attraction forces by electrostatic interactions with the negative charges of the mucus the polyca-tionic chitosan was investigated as an ophthalmic vehicle. The polymer is biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic. It possesses antimicrobial and wound-healing properties. Moreover, chitosan exhibits a pseudoplastic and viscoelastic behavior. ... 

Nanocellulose, such as that produced by the bacteria Gluconacetobacter xylinus (bacterial cellulose, BC), is an emerging biomaterial with great potential in several applications. The performance of bacterial cellulose stems from its high purity, ultra-fine network structure and high mechanical properties in the dry state [114]. These features allow its applications in scaffold for tissue regeneration, medical applications and nanocomposites. A few researchers have used bacterial cellulose mats to reinforce polymeric matrices and scaffolds with wound healing properties [115-121]. BC is pure cellulose made by bacterial fabrication via biochemical... 

Muzzarelli et al. reported the incorporation of chitin nanociystals in wound dressing formulations made of chitosan glycolate. It was found that CHNCs provide better structural stability and slow release of various compounds, such as proteins, growth factors, etc. Morganti et al. had previously reported on the wound healing properties of CHNCs and the amelioration of photoaging and reduction of scars. 

Psyllium use as poultice (psyllium mixed with milk and turmeric powder) for minor scrapes is considered a standard practice in old and current Indian culture. Psyllium is also known to sooth and protects inflamed cell membranes. The recent research stidies carried on wound healing properties of psyllium has reported that psyllium contains Mucopolysaccharides which are useful for wound cleansing and wound healing. These mucopolysaccharides also limit scar formation on human skin (33). 

As with all cellulose ethers, methylcellulose increases the residence time of the preparation. In addition, methylcellulose possesses wound healing properties. Therefore the polymer is suitable as a tear substitute for dry eye especially for those with punctate lesions. A disadvantage are irritating insoluble cellulose particles present in methylcellulose. The amount of insoluble particles depends on the quality of the product... 

Hyaluronic acid Hyaluronic acid is the only nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan that is present in all connective tissues as a major component of the ECM. Its nonimmunogenic nature, together with its wound-healing properties, makes this natural compound an ideal candidate for regenerative biomaterials [21], Hyaluronic acid is FDA approved for certain applications such as eye surgeries, osteoarthritis, and cosmetic uses [22].
