Introduction: Superoxide dismutase (SOD), a natural enzyme with high antioxidant activity, reduces injury and accelerates wound healing by scavenging superoxide radicals. This enzyme plays an important role in cellular defense against oxidative stress such as burn injury. The aim of this study was to load SOD into solid lipid nanoparticles for the treatment of rat burn wounds.

Methods: According to available data, the long-term costs and clinical outcomes of CGM and SMBG were estimated using the Sheffield Type 1 Diabetes Model, with a lifetime horizon from a payer's perspective. The primary outcome was the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained.
Background: Among the flavonoids, Myricetin (MCN) has negligible side effects and anti-cancer properties. However, the therapeutic potential of MCN has been limited mainly by its low bioavailability. Nanocarriers improve the bioavailability and stability of flavonoids.

Hydrogels are the best candidates for dressing such wounds due to their high water content and ability to exchange substances. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to make a novel hydrogel wound dressing following the integration of various findings on wound healing and the use of regenerative medicine.
