To develop a new wound dressing composed of alginate and Aloe vera gel and cross-linked with zinc ions.
The aloe-alginate film was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), swelling profile, mechanical properties, polysaccharide content and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thirty Wistar rats were divided in two groups a) treated with aloe-alginate film and b) control (treated with sterile gauze). Wound contraction measurements and hystological analysis were performed on 7th, 14th and 21st days after wound surgery.
The aloe-alginate film presented adequated mechanical resistance and malleability for application as wound dressing. There was no statistical difference in wound contraction between two groups. Histological assay demonstrated that aloe-alginate film presented anti-inflammatory activity, stimulated angiogenesis on proliferative phase and a more significant increased in collagen type I fibers and decreased type III fibers which promoted a mature scar formation when compared to control.
The aloe-alginate film showed adequate physicochemical characteristics for wound dressing applications. The in vivo assay demonstrated that aloe-alginate film enhanced the healing process of incisional skin wounds.
研发一种由藻酸盐和芦荟凝胶组成并与锌离子交联的新型伤口敷料。
使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、溶胀曲线、力学性能、多糖含量和X射线衍射(XRD)对芦荟 - 藻酸盐膜进行表征。将30只Wistar大鼠分为两组:a)用芦荟 - 藻酸盐膜治疗组和b)对照组(用无菌纱布治疗)。在伤口手术后第7天、14天和21天进行伤口收缩测量和组织学分析。
芦荟 - 藻酸盐膜表现出足够的机械抗性和延展性,适用于伤口敷料。两组之间的伤口收缩没有统计学差异。组织学分析表明,与对照组相比,芦荟 - 藻酸盐膜具有抗炎活性,在增殖期刺激血管生成,I型胶原纤维显著增加,III型纤维减少,促进了成熟瘢痕的形成。
芦荟 - 藻酸盐膜显示出适用于伤口敷料应用的足够理化特性。体内试验表明,芦荟 - 藻酸盐膜可促进切口皮肤伤口的愈合过程。
