Thermal burn injury induces inflammatory cell infiltrates in the dermis and thickening of the epidermis. Following a burn injury, various mediators, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), are produced in macrophages and neutrophils, exposing all tissues to oxidative injury. The anti-oxidant activities of flavonoids have been widely exploited to scavenge ROS. In this study, we observed that several flavonoids-kaempferol, quercetin, fisetin, and chrysin-inhibit LPS-induced IL-8 promoter activation in RAW 264.7 cells. In contrast with quercetin and fisetin, pretreatment of kaempferol and chrysin did not decrease cell viability. Inflammatory cell infiltrates in the dermis and thickening of the epidermis induced by burn injuries in mice was relieved by kaempferol treatment. However, the injury was worsened by fisetin, quercetin, and chrysin. Expression of TNF-a induced by burn injuries was decreased by kaempferol. These findings suggest the potential use of kaempferol as a therapeutic in thermal burn-induced skin injuries. [BMB reports 2010; 43(1): 46-51].

Two novel membranes based on collagen and two polyphenols, taxifolin pentaglutarate (TfG5) and a conjugate of taxifolin with glyoxylic acid (DfTf), were prepared. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy examination confirmed the preservation of the triple helical structure of collagen. A scanning electron microscopy study showed that both materials had a porous structure.

Burn induced-pain (BIP) is one of the most common pain symptoms, which seriously affects the quality of sufferer life. Researches show that multi-targeted drug therapies offer superior efficacy and fewer side effects compared to single-target drug therapies. Consequently, in this study, we developed G(1-5)-EM2, a multi-targeted peptide designed to target μ-opioid receptor and the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1α (GHS-R1α), and explored its antinociceptive effects on burn injury pain.

Unlabelled: The condition of gastrointestinal tract determines in many respects the regenerative capacity and the risk of complications in patients with extensive skin burns. However, the mechanism of developing vascular dysfunction in the colon in the burned individuals has so far been poorly studied. is to study intramural circulatory disorders of the colon using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in different time periods after modeling a thermal burn.

Burn injuries, which significantly affect global public health, require effective treatment strategies tailored to varying severity. Fungi are considered a sustainable, easily propagated source for lead therapeutic discovery. In this study, we explored the burn wound healing potential of through a combination of in vitro, in vivo, metabolite profiling, and in silico analysis.

Article Synopsis
- - Burn injuries are a significant global health issue that requires treatment strategies addressing both skin healing and inflammation regulation, as systemic inflammatory responses can impede recovery.
- - The study highlights the effectiveness of low-temperature pulverization-specific extract (LPSHE) from marine sources in improving burn wound healing by enhancing skin cell recovery and reducing harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.
- - Results from experiments on mice and keratinocyte cells suggest that LPSHE not only promotes healing but also governs inflammation, indicating its potential as a novel therapeutic option for burn treatment.
