Comparison of the effects of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) and gotu kola (centella asiatica) extracts on healing of open wounds in rabbits

Bu çalışmanın amacı; tavşanlarda açık yara iyileşmesinde topikal Momordica charantia’nın (MC) yağlı homojenize formu ve toz formları ile Centella asiatica (CA) ekstratının pomat formunun etkilerini araştırmak, saf zeytinyağı uygulanan ve sağaltım uygulanmayan kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırmaktı. Bu çalışmada kullanılan otuz adet Yeni Zelanda tavşanı 5 gruba ayrıldı: MC’nın yağlı homojenize formu, MC’nın toz formu, CA’nın titre edilmiş ekstratının pomat formu (Madécassol® pomat), kontrol ve saf zeytinyağı. Her bir tavşanda dorsal orta hattın sağ tarafında tam kalınlıkta deriyi kapsayan birer yara (5x5 cm) oluşturuldu ve yukarıda belirtilen ekstratlarla tedavi uygulandı. Yaralar günlük olarak izlendi ve 0, 7, 14, 21 ve 28. günlerde iyileşmemiş yara alanı ve total yara iyileşme yüzdesini ölçmek için planimetri uygulandı. İlk gözlenebilir granulasyon dokusu için ortalama zaman; tüm deney gruplarında kontrol grubundan daha kısa bulundu (P

Tavşanlarda kudret narı (Momordica charantia) ve gotu kola (Centella asiatica) ekstraktlarının açık yara iyileşmesi üzerine etkilerinin karşılaştırılması

This study investigated the eff ects of topically applied oily homogenized and powder forms of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) (MC) and ointment formulation of gotu kola (Centella asiatica) (CA) extract and compared the results with untreated control and pure olive oil groups on wound healing in rabbits. A total of 30 New Zealand rabbits were divided into five equal groups (oily homogenized form of MC, powder form of MC, ointment of CA, control, pure olive oil). Full-thickness 5x5 cm skin wounds were created on the right mid-dorsum area and experimental groups were treated daily with the above mentioned extracts. Wounds were observed daily. Planimetry was performed for the unhealed wound area and the percentage of total wound healing on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28. Median time for the first observable granulation tissue was shorter in all experimental groups than in the control group (P<0.05). Filling of the open wound to skin level with granulation tissue was faster in the oily homogenized form of MC and ointment of titrated extract of CA groups (P<0.05). The average time for healing was shorter in the oily homogenized form of MC and ointment of titrated extract of CA groups than in other groups (P<0.05). The results demonstrate that topical application of the oily form of MC and ointment form of CA results in significant improvements on wound healing in rabbits.
