Abstract
Background
The Jiusheng Wound Repair Recipe (JSWR), a folk prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, has been used clinically for treating burns and scalds with notable efficacy. However, its chemical components and pharmacological mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods
Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) was utilized to analyze JSWR's chemical composition. A wound healing model in Kunming mice assessed the effects of JSWR on healing rates, collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and inflammation through histological and immunohistochemical techniques. Potential pharmacological mechanisms were explored by metabolomic analysis.
Results
All 530 components were identified or characterized in JSWR. It significantly accelerated wound healing and reduced TNF-α and IL-6 levels. The expression of CD31 and collagen I and III were enhanced, while COX-2 expression was reduced. 19 critical metabolites and key metabolic pathways were explored by metabolomics.
Conclusions
JSWR effectively promoted wound healing through enhancing collagen deposition and angiogenesis, and by inhibiting inflammation. Further exploration of mechanisms would be valuable to the application and development of JSWR.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
