Abstract:Accurately orchestrated course of events normally observed in healing are not followed in diabetic wounds, and bacterial colonization/infection further messes up the process. Novel therapeutic options for treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are urgently needed. HAMLET (human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) has been reported to be able to sensitize bacterial pathogens to traditional antimicrobial agents. The aim was to assess the wound healing activity of curcum… Show more
“…We followed the methods of others to prepare the HAMLET [ 16 ]. In this method, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid- (EDTA-) treated, partially unfolded α -lactalbumin as well as oleic acid (C18:1) on an anion exchange matrix was converted to a stable protein-lipid combination.…”

“…We followed the methods of others for planimetric studies in the excisional wound model [ 16 ]. In brief, the process of healing was investigated via measurement of reduction in the wound surface; therefore, we put a ruler as a scale next to the wounds, and with a digital camera immediately after wounding and on days 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21, photographs were taken.…”
Objective. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of cinnamon nanoparticles (CNPs) on healing of wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aurous with human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells sensitization in diabetic rats. Methods. We included fifty diabetic male rats and divided them into 5 groups. There were 10 rats in each group as follows: CONTROL group: we did not infect the CONTROL group. The wound was only covered with sterile saline 0.9% solution (0.1 mL). INFCTD group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA and covered with sterile saline 0.9% solution (0.1 mL). INFCTD-HMLT group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA and HAMLET (100 μg). INFCTD-CNM group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA and 0.1 mL CNPs (1 mg/mL) were applied topically to wounds. INFCTD-HMLT-CNM group: in this group, the wounds were infected with MRSA, HAMLET (100 μg), and 0.1 mL CNPs (1 mg/mL). Results. Bacteriology, wound area reduction measurements, biochemistry, histomorphometrical studies, hydroxyproline levels, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for caspase-3, Bcl-2, and p53 showed significant difference between rats in the INFCTD-HMT-CNM group in comparison with other groups (

). Conclusions. Accelerated healing of diabetic wounds infected with MRSA showed that local application of cinnamon nanoparticles along with HAMLET sensitization on S. aureus-infected wound could be taken into consideration.

Herein, we attempted to evaluate the therapeutic potential of photobiomodulation (PBM) and curcumin-loaded iron nanoparticles (CUR), alone and in combination, on wound closure rate (WCR), microbial flora by measuring colony-forming units (CFUs), the stereological and biomechanical properties of repairing wounds in the maturation stage of the wound healing course in an ischemic infected delayed healing wound model (IIDHWM) of type I diabetic (TIDM) rats. There were four groups: group 1 was the control, group 2 received CUR, rats in group 3 were exposed to PBM (80 Hz, 890 nm, and 0.2 J/ cm 2 ), and rats in group 4 received both PBM and CUR (PBM + CUR). We found CFU was decreased in groups 2, 3, and 4 compared to group 1 (p = 0.000 for all). Groups 2, 3, and 4 showed a considerable escalation in WCR compared to group 1 (p = 0.000 for all). In terms of wound strength parameters, substantial increases in bending stiffness and high-stress load
