Purpose: In the present study, we used the diabetic mouse as a model of delayed wound healing to investigate the effects of human cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (CB-MSC) on wound healing.

Methods: A delayed wound healing model was used by db/db mice. Study models were divided by an injection of human CB-MSC with phosphate buffered solution (PBS) by a different method. One was a locally topical injection, the other was a systemic injection via the end tail vein. Both models were treated with 2.0 × 10(6) CB-MSC after an 8-mm full thickness defect was made by a skin punch biopsy on the back. We evaluated the wound size, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor histologic evaluation, and vessel counts. Engraft of CB-MSC was detected by an antihuman antibody.

Result: Wound healing was accelerated in the experimental group in the topical injection model with statistical significance on the 6th, 9th, and 12th day (P < 0.05). In the systemic injection model, wound healing was completed from the 9th day, but there was no statistical significance. TGF-β increased in the first week and decreased in the third week in the experimental groups of both models. But there were opposite results in the control groups of both models. The statistical differences were found in first and third week in topical injection and in the third week in systemic injection (P < 0.05). Vascular endothelial growth factor increased in all groups and in all models as the wound healing. But statistical significance did not show between all experimental and control groups. Anti-human antibody immunochemical staining was positive in the wound.

Conclusion: We concluded that CB-MSC had a positive effect on wound healing. Statistically significant results were noted in the topical injection model. We also reported good effects on the systemic injection model, although we did not find any statistical significance. CB-MSC may influence wound healing by TGF-β.

The discovery of novel counteractive pharmaceuticals, which have recently generated much interest, has played a significant role in the development of drugs derived from herbal medicines or botanical sources. Paederia foetida (P. foetida) is one such example of a role in both traditional and traditional medicine.

Purpose Of The Study: Open (incisional) biopsies have long been accepted as the gold standard in diagnosing bone and soft tissue tumors. However, the main disadvantage of this method is that it can lead to increased contamination, hematoma, infection, and pathological fracture. Compared to open biopsies, percutaneous core needle biopsies are less invasive, do not require hospitalization, have low costs and low complication rates, and there is no need for wound healing in cases that require radiotherapy.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) demonstrates significant potential in cancer treatment, wound healing, and antibacterial therapy, with its efficacy largely depending on the performance of photothermal agents (PTAs). Metal-phenolic network (MPN) materials are ideal PTA candidates due to their low cost, good biocompatibility and excellent ligand-to-metal charge transfer properties. However, not all MPNs exhibit significant photothermal properties, and the vast chemical space of MPNs (over 700,000 potential combinations) complicates the screening of high-photothermal materials.
