Abstract
The primary goal of this study was to assess the wound healing potentiality of Trapa natans L. Excision and incision models were used to evaluate wound healing activity. For the excision model experiment was conducted for 21 days and for the incision model experiment continued for 10 days. Experimental animals were divided into four groups, the control group received simple ointment, the animal of the standard group treated with 0.2% w/w soframycin ointment, and the test groups received T. natans extract ointment (2.5% w/w & 5% w/w). Wound healing was determined by the rate of contraction, the time required for epithelization, collagen cell formation, the amount of hydroxyproline present in the wound site, and woundbreaking strength. Experimental results of the test showed a comparatively higher rate of contraction, lesser epithelization period, and higher hydroxyproline amount present in the wound area. These results were strengthened by the histopathological studies of the healing area tissues. When the standard and test groups were compared to the control group, statistically significant data were found (p<0.001). The test group had better wound-healing properties as compared to the control group. From the result of this study, it was revealed that T. natans L. is an excellent herbal alternative for treating wounds.
期刊介绍:
Traditional knowledge" is employed to mean knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional life-styles; the wisdom developed over many generations of holistic traditional scientific utilization of the lands, natural resources, and environment. It is generally passed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation and is, for the most part, undocumented. Traditional knowledge is valid and necessary, and awaits its currently relevant wider application for human benefit. National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, CSIR felt a need to document the recent developments and the information bygone in this area in the form of an interdisciplinary periodical.
The Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge will carry original research papers, review articles, short communications, etc. concerned with the observation and experimental investigation of the biological activities of the materials from plants, animals and minerals, used in the traditional health-care systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Yoga, Unani, Naturopathy, Homoeopathy, Folk-remedies, etc. As validation of indigenous claims it will cover Ethno-biology, Ethno-medicine, Ethno-pharmacology, Ethno-pharmacognosy & Clinical Studies on efficacy .
