The authors' previous work on a 50% ethanol extract of Aloe vera was done to evaluate anti-inflammatory activity using the croton oil-induced ear swelling assay. The anti-inflammatory activity was found in the supernatant fraction. The supernatant fraction decreased inflammation, when applied topically, by 29.2%, and the precipitate decreased inflammation by 12.1%. However, in the present work, the precipitate fraction decreased the wound diameter by an average of 47.1% (stimulatory system). Little or no wound healing activity was found in the supernatant. Aloe vera appears to act as a modulatory system toward wounds and inflammation and is a potentially valuable tool for managing lower extremity conditions.
作者之前对库拉索芦荟50%乙醇提取物开展的研究，是通过巴豆油诱导耳部肿胀试验来评估其抗炎活性。抗炎活性存在于上清液部分。局部应用时，上清液部分使炎症减轻了29.2%，沉淀物使炎症减轻了12.1%。然而，在本研究中，沉淀物部分使伤口直径平均减小了47.1%（刺激系统）。在上清液中几乎未发现伤口愈合活性。库拉索芦荟似乎对伤口和炎症起到调节系统的作用，是治疗下肢疾病的潜在有价值工具。
