Abstract
Decrease of collateral effect of wound repairing is one of the important objects of radiology and surgery studies. Identification of the effective, cheap and available drugs that have public grace is necessary. Whereas the Oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) extract and Henna (Lowsonia intermis L.) had anti-inflammatory effect in previous studies, so, in this study we compared their effect with silver sulfadiazine in wound healing. Female rats divided to four groups (four rats in each group). Rats anesthetized with standard combination of Ketamin-HCl and Acepromazine and incised with surgical blade on the mid dorsal line, then sutured with nylon suture. The wound was six centimeter length and five knobs with one centimeter distances applied. The wound length measured every day until complete recovery. Five hundred milligrams of oleaster extract, Henna paste and silver sulfadiazine ointment applied on wounds every day and one group didn't have any drugs as a control group. Average of repairing percent in first week in sulfadiazine and Oleaster groups were 90%, whereas this was 70% for henna group and 50% for control group. Complete wound healing in control groups; Henna, Oleaster and Sulfadiazine were observed in 13, 12, 10 and 8 days after surgery, consecutively. As a result, Olester extract can repair the wound same as silver sulfadiazine, whereas the Henna did not show the same effect in that definite time.
